USA Political Thread 2022

[westwoody]

taking presidential papers out of the white house (or its archives) is a pretty bad thing. Nixon did this.

Hilariously ironic that Trumplethinskin himself made it a Federal crime in hopes of snaring Hilary.

Not an expert at all on US constitutional shit but I have been reading that taking presidential papers out of the white house (or its archives) is a pretty bad thing. Nixon did this. Those documents belong to the people even if they don't get to read them.
Just another pile of shit the orange cheeto has stepped in.

Trump actually signed the law that made this a criminal offence,and the head of the FBI is a republican nominated by you guessed it Trump

 

[westwoody]

After the feds removed a bunch of stuff a few months ago Trump’s lawyers signed statements that there were no more classified papers at Mar a Lago.
Lying to the FBI is a federal offense. Oops.

 

[masterpoonhunter]

So 11 batches of classified documents, many "top secret", some pertaining to nuclear weapons and cheeto says if they wanted these back they could have just asked for them. Which they did but that's a sidebar to this sideshow. Which would be funny but it just isn't.
So, any bets as to if the right thing might be done? Charge this fucking criminal under the espionage act, for treason? Just to start?
Or with this on a world stage will the USofA fail justice again.

FBI and Merrick Garland need to keep it at a slow boil.
Let all these scum keep worrying about who is going to rat them out.
Love seeing these guys squirming and lying....
first the feds asked for the papers
Trump and his lawyers said take these, there's no more
Now there's more
Trump and his lawyers say the FBI said it was ok as long as Trump put a new lock on the door
So are they admitting they lied about there not being any more?
Now Trump says there's more but he declassified them.
But he's not President and can't declassify these papers even if he was.
He said he would have given up the papers if someone had asked.
But someone DID ask and he didn't give them all up.
Then he says the FBI did the search without witnesses
His lawyer said three Trump lawyers watched on site and Trump watched via cctv.

So many lies it's hard to keep track.

Why does a functional illiterate like him need top secret papers on nuclear tech anyway?
Anybody?

For his buddy Putin I guess

At a minimum they've got him on obstruction of justice.
Not a maximum (as who can even keep track of all the shit this fucker has committed) but charges under the espionage act are effectively treason and that is big.
And being a stupid fuck nut is not a defense.
But, let's see what happens.
You know USofA and all ...

The biggest supporters of choice are Democrats, who rule over the cities with the most black poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and violence. You'd think they'd want all those future supporters to be born, not aborted, but then, they don't seem to give a flying fuck about black on black deaths by gun violence, either. See Chicago, Detroit, New York, St Louis, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, etc etc. which is never mentioned by Democrats or BLM.

not to mention the illiteracy and drop out rate in almost all major US cities amongst their BIPOC populations which are in FACT mostly all Dem. watch “Waiting for Superman”. Larry Canada. Fix the entire system not just the selective portion.

Yup...and I'm hearing right and I think I am, then the lawyer that signed off/attested that everything had been returned is also the source of the information that triggered this search warrant. Seems part of what he supplied to the DOJ was a video showing how there was nothing stored there anymore, but it appears the camera panned over some boxes that were identified as holding material that was to be returned ????? Kind of like the Alex Jones thing.....no text messages nope nope and then his lawyer sends a shitload of them to the prosecution.... With lawyers like these guys got I'm surprised none of them are doing life for jay walking.

 

[westwoody]

DOJ had previously subpoenaed cctv of the unsecured rooms and seen unauthorized persons going in and out.
That’s another felony, allowing access to the documents.

 

[westwoody]

Fix the entire system not just the selective portion.

Fixing everything or fixing nothing is not the only choice.
Fixing something is better than fixing nothing.

Trumps not a god, even the Roman Emperors were not gods.
The founding fathers of America, wanted the separation of state and church. For good reason. Look what religion is doing to America right now. It divides the US, because the Republican Party favours the Pro-Life choice which is enforced by the Christian churches of America, because of their ancient fertility rights ingrained in the Christian Religion. The reason for no abortion and birth control is to maintain/increase the numbers of god fearing Christians. That's all folks.
The second problem is that most Americans can't think for themselves. Evidence, they don't try to find the answers, they are too busy trying to get laid, look good on social media, buy and wear the right clothes etc.

They're too busy trying to supersize their happy meal to give a shit about reality, yo.

Problem with US politics. Prevalence of dual citizenship members of Congress and Senate. Entire US foreign policy driven by offshore interest. Regime change fanatics draining resources of United States.

Can't legislate common sense.

Not paying his bills has come back to bite him in the ass.

Trump was and is a boorish clown and a buffoon. A nouveau riche doofus.

The American people, in their wisdom, replaced him with Biden, a living embodiment of the Peter Principal. Biden has managed to fail upwards all his life.

A plagerist and serial liar, Biden is showing obvious signs of senility. I'm not sure if he really knows what's going on a lot of the time. Democratic policies are exacerbating deep rooted financial issues. The ongoing focus on race, gender and perceived climate emergency issues means that real problems are being ignored.

I've always thought of the US as a strange combination, it's simultaneously the best and the worst country. Great wealth and beauty, right beside poverty and ugliness.

The United States is rotting from the inside out.

All "great " civilizations ride and fall.

Fun while it lasted, I guess.

 

[marsvolta]

documented evidence that undermines everything Trump has been claiming up to this point...

Documents recovered at Mar-a-Lago were among government's most classified, letter shows
