The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

I doubt the prosecution could find the courthouse in that amount of time.

It’s a risk every American must take on as their sacred duty, if they ever want to live in a free America again.

It’s says we’ve taken our democracy too lightly and abdicated our responsibility as its custodians.

Now the barbarians have breached the shining city.

Perhaps losing our rights and freedoms will be the wake up call people need.

ICE isn’t law enforcement.

They’re chaos agents. Trump’s personal goon squad, recruited specifically to stoke fear and unrest in our communities.

They are a catalyst for him to claim absolute power.

Likening them to the Gestapo is accurate…and warranted.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

This is all a show for the public, specifically his base. They don’t have a case.

Phones were not tapped.

Call log records were legally obtained via court orders.

Court battles were fought over speech & debate protections for the suspected j6 co-conspirators in Congress.

I hope John Fetterman watched the Pam Bondi hearing today and felt good about his vote to confirm her.

Ty Cobb, Trump’s former attorney, called Pam Bondi undisputedly the worst Attorney General in American history, surpassing Nixon’s AG John Mitchell, who ended up in prison for his role in the Watergate coverup.

History doesn’t always repeat, but it often rhymes.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.
