  • It's like dealing with a very dangerous lying spoilt child who manipulates his minions to undertake violence. Inciting violence is not free speech!
  • @DrDante2000
    the entire WORLD READ it with their OWN EYES. Stop the BS!
  • @journeyman378
    I have never in my 55 years seen anyone get away with this much foolishness.
  • They say that yelling fire in a crowded movie theater is illegal.? And there are examples of lawyers almost everyday using the premise of one law to substantiate the crimes in seemingly unrelated events. When skillfully argued It can create an enlightened moment clearly in the minds of everyone that there is a legal precedent for comparison and conviction. Claiming that the election was stolen is no different than yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. If people are killed by a crowd stampede their way out the penalties are severe. I am disappointed that legal minds and scholars can't find the relevance in dealing with any lie that has the potential to cause a knee jerk reaction of harm! Lawyers should be rushing to the courthouse to file charges against the liar and anyone for Media outlet who echoes that lie ... ???

    “The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force,” the agency said in a statement. “No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter.”

    I was wondering and hoping SOMEONE would point out the same language in the forms regarding President Biden’s residence… done and done. People need to stop being crazed. Calm down. Facts are real. Trust what you see, not the distraction.
  • @hardtruth4459
    How about a gag order for Cannon, Thomas and alito. We all know anyone else who stole, concealed, and flaunted our national security secrets would be in jail by now.
  • @user-ij4vb8fd6b
    took them 2 years to come up with this BS? not the brightest bulbs are they?
  • @Ecker1908
    Trump wasn't even at Mara largo when they conducted the search warrant..
  • I refuse to vote Republican again until the Republican party denounces Trump and all of the anti American rhetoric that he and his MAGA polititions keep saying.
  • Just think what a quiet, serene world it would be if he was gone.
  • @wisconsinmanFDT
    Independent voter here... learned my lesson: NEVER trust a Republican to do the right thing.
  • The same people who tried to say the president could order seal team six to assassinate a political rival are also saying the president tried to use law enforcement to assassinate a rival? I sense a theme…
  • @BeachPeach2010
    So, who seriously thinks Cannon is going to honor this request? 😒
  • @Sam-dm4rj
    NO INTEGRITY WITH PROCEEDINGS. WHAT A JOKE!!
