Patriots do not support an insurrection inciting, doc stealing, treason weasel like Trump.

Nor do they countenance elected officials like Miss Lindsey threatening riots because they know due process is working against them and the orange pick they support.

Seriously, any pretense of patriotism from morons who supported 'stop the steal' and every other lame ass conspiracy theory used to justify 1/6 is just laughable.

Everything printed is believed as long as it attacks patriots.


Trump's threats of riots and violence show he's desperate, knows legal case is weak

(Salon) After Trump and the Republicans went on their tirade about the Mar-a-Lago search there were numerous threats against FBI agents, with one actual assault resulting in a devoted MAGA follower being killed by police.

It appears that we are in for another week of pins and needles waiting for court filings in the case of Donald Trump's stolen classified documents which prompted the FBI to get them to a safe place away where odd wandering MAGA fans and foreign spies can't get to them.

The affidavit for the warrant was released last week and showed that the government had tried for months to get Trump to give the documents back and he either lied saying everything had been returned or made fatuous excuses as to why the government had no claim to them.

Next week we can expect that the Department of Justice will respond to a different judge's request on Trump's behalf that they show why they don't need to appoint a special master to determine if any of the documents should be shielded by attorney-client privilege. If so, that could take months, so Trump's usual delaying tactics may succeed once again. But, importantly, that's the only success he's having at the moment.

Trump and the Republicans originally thought the FBI search would be a big help to his and the party's political fortunes so they immediately jumped upon it, screeching that the FBI was acting like the Gestapo and predicting the beginning of a civil war.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, superciliously declared "the raid on [Mar-a-Lago] is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents.!" But it's not looking like the big winner they thought it was. CBS News polled the question last week and found that a large majority, including 20% of Republicans, believe the search was done to protect national security, not to persecute Trump.

Nobody knows just how bad this thing will turn out to be. Since that first day when the entire GOP participated in their mass primal scream, we've learned that Trump had stashed at least 700 documents, some of them marked with the most top secret designations that exist. That's very difficult for the party that's been chanting "lock her up" for the past five years to defend.

After Trump and the Republicans went on their tirade about the Mar-a-Lago search there were numerous threats against FBI agents, with one actual assault resulting in a devoted MAGA follower being killed by police.

The extremists are exercised and Trump continues to egg them on. Posting on his Truth Social site he degrades and defames the FBI and the Department of Justice in the lurid terms he usually reserves for Democrats and the media. Holding nothing back, he's daily making a case for an armed uprising. .........
