Maybe we should just impeach Trump

And here I thought the best news of the day was the MAGA t-shirt company getting busted and mightily fined for replacing  labels that said “made in china” to “made in America”..

Oh and the assclown running for Michigan AG post illegally getting his mitts on vote tabulating machines in order to examine them…

Is this the start of the Civil War?

had some random High School acquaintance write "this is the start of a civil war" and I immediately unfriended him

I hope he's wrong.

Civil War.

I don’t see it but I suppose if it came one would want their “side” controlling the presidency. I mean imagine a civil war with Trump or Desantis as president?

I do think the United States in on track for some sort of uncivil disagreement but I remain or want to be hopeful someone or something will break through the logjam we seem to increasingly be experiencing. I would date it back to 1992 when Republicans could not accept that Clinton was picked over Bush. Then we saw the “Gingrich revolution” of 1994 and it steadily went downhill with the Republican attempt at impeachment, the Supreme Court stealing the 2000 election from Gore, etc etc etc. We need to get off this treadmill we are on. We have had moments like this in the past and in some cases managed to negotiate them (the party battles of the 1790s) and in one not (the Civil War which wasn’t so much a case or moment but when the bill came do for our original sin: the compromise of 1787).

Good lord Republicans are embarrassing themselves.

I guess it’s nothing new….

as one would expect, Das Right is crying foul.  they are claiming that the current DOJ has been fully politicized (as opposed to the last one?!?!?), that the raid on mar-al-fuego was done to influence the midterms*, and kevin mccarthy has told garland to hold on to all documents because once the GOP takes over the house there will be non-stop investigations into "all this illegal activity."

trump took documents from the white house, which is both illegal and could have national security implications because some of the docs were classified.  pointing out that if a dem had done this during the previous admin they'd be in gitmo by now is obviously pointless… but how they can complain about the DOJ investigating a known and admitted crime is just crazyballz.

*midterms are 91 days away.  DOJ has a policy of not doing anything that could be seen as overtly political within 90 days of an election - hence today's timing ;D

am I weird if this is the favorite part of that story

As it’s been said don’t mess with archivists, it’s been known for months they took classified documents with them to dump-a-loga.  And TFG alludes to what was going on with his statement, they were clearly working on getting that stuff back from there.  They probably had to send in agents with the proper clearance to get them.  My guess is stonewalling was happening, hence the search.  Of course The QOP think everything is politicized and lose their stuffing

I know this, uh, guy, who works at the National Archives, and uh…they don't have agents. They'd work with law enforcement agencies in support of recovering classified documents.,

the hutch negativity never stops ;)

Oliver Willis@owillis
the idea that youre going to prevent trump from running again because of some legal charge is liberal pipe dream stuff. never happening.

wow that is creepy, might have to make that my computer wallpaper

Kinda reminds me of this Robert Longo drawing used for Glenn Branca's "The Ascension".

I like this guy’s take on this

"Donald Trump, you have a copy of the warrant. It explains what they were looking for, what statutes they think were violated, what judge signed off on that…If you believe this is such an abuse, release the warrant and let us decide for ourselves

Who am I kidding they are already fundraising off the event… what’s the truth when you can do the grift, beat your chest and air your grievances
