"4 May 2016

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it," South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham said on Tuesday ..."

If Trump wins the nomination you can bet that Graham will flip so fast it’ll make the earth wobble on its axis.

Yes, I saw this is a 2016 quote. It’ll repeat itself in 2024.

Leemur, wasn't criticizing your post, was gloating at Graham being so wrong a few months before the election. He makes me larf. He flips faster than a silver carp on a boat deck.

Trump says he’s been told he’s ‘target’ of DOJ’s Capitol riot probe

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that his attorneys had informed him he is a target of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — and that he is prepared for “an Arrest and Indictment” in the case.

Sure seems like every time the US House committees interview whistle-blowers, Trump gets charged with something to divert the news cycle. It gives the msm something else to talk about.

If they'd just quit interviewing people, Trump would have a whole lot less problems.

I'd let my decades-long subscription to National Review expire a long time ago, because I just wasn't having any fun reading it.

I DID keep this one issue, February 15, 2016 because I figured it'd be a collector's item some day:



Did a netsearch with keywords 'National Review' and 'Trump' just before this post, to see what they've been up to recently. Wow, even more virulent than back in 2016.

I wish I could've seen those priggish fucker's faces the day of/after the 2016 election.
And, again, after 2024, if things go the way they should.

Yeah, people tend to forget that Trump is doing MUCH better today in his race towards 2024 than in 2016, not counting the indictments and such.

And the editors in that National Review issue, many of them eventually sided with Trump, including Beck, Domenech, Erickson, Loesch, Pavlich, etc.

As I told my close amigos back then, a fence sitter and a Libertarian, "You aren't voting for President. You're voting for the SCOTUS.
Trump isn't perfect w/ the vast appointments to courts but we've seen so many that matter.

What they are saying overseas. A lesson for our corrupt media.

Trump faces additional charges in classified documents case

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

Former President Donald Trump faces additional charges in special counsel Jack Smith's case over his allegedly improper retention of classified materials.

The former president faces allegations of obstruction and willful retention of national defense information, the Associated Press reported. Trump has previously pleaded not guilty to 37 counts in the case.

Smith's office has also indicted the Mar-a-Lago estate's head of maintenance in connection with the case of former President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified materials.

Carlos De Oliveira is third person indicted in the case, Fox News reported. Smith has previously charge the former president's aide, Walt Nauta, both of whom have pleaded not guilty.

The indictment alleges Trump conspired with de Oliveira and Nauta to delete surveillance footage from the estate, The Hill reported.

The FBI raided the Mar-a-Lago estate in August of last year seeking classified materials Trump may have removed from the White House. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith to handle the matter following Trump's declaration that he would seek the presidency in 2024.

A Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News that the latest charges are "nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him."

Smith is also pursuing an investigation into Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 election and the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Trump himself has said that Smith's office sent him a target letter in that case. Trump's attorneys met with Smith on Thursday, Trump stated.

"My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country. No indication of notice was given during the meeting — Do not trust the Fake News on anything!" he wrote on Truth Social.

Conspired to delete video footage of his own home?

So would that be the same thing as, ummmm, wiping a server?

"now that Vivek Ramaswamy has been exposed..."

This week, I have come to the realization that Ramaswamy is a bit more establishment than he wants to admit, his latest issue is his support and re-entering in the TPP trade agreement, totally contrary to an America First platform.

And Styx is right- for those who are fed up, and 100% dissatisfied with the current political system, win or lose, Trump is the ONLY choice.

Trump says Mar-a-Lago security tapes were not deleted, were voluntarily given to prosecutors

He called the allegations election interference and said it was the result of prosecutorial misconduct.

https://justthenews.com/politi...ere-not-deleted-were

Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday he did not delete the Mar-a-Lago security tapes, even as he faces new charges of allegedly conspiring to delete the footage, which he said he handed over to prosecutors.

"MAR-A-LAGO SECURITY TAPES WERE NOT DELETED. THEY WERE VOLUNTARILY HANDED OVER TO THE THUGS, HEADED UP BY DERANGED JACK SMITH," Trump posted on Truth Social in all capital letters. "WE DID NOT EVEN GO TO COURT TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING THESE TAPES. I NEVER TOLD ANYBODY TO DELETE THEM."

The new charges brought against Trump on Thursday came in addition to the 37 federal counts related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents. The former president pleaded not guilty to all 37 original charges.

Special counsel Jack Smith is separately pursuing a probe into Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 election results and his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Donald Trump: The Real Victim of the Russiagate Hoax Wasn't Me. It Was the American People | Opinion

“The report by Special Counsel John Durham makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history. It was a crime like no other. Seven years ago, I ran for office taking on all the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests in our nation’s capital. My agenda was an existential threat to a Washington establishment that got rich and powerful bleeding America dry.

I vowed to stop mass illegal immigration, terminate globalist trade deals, end the sellout of our country to Communist China, stand up to the permanent bureaucracy and the corporate media, and break the neocon addiction to endless foreign wars.

In response, an unelected cabal in the senior ranks of our government, in concert with their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, and their allies in the media, launched the de-facto coup attempt known as the Russia Hoax.

Their goal was to prevent my election, and failing that, to throw me out of office or sabotage my presidency, undercut my agenda in Congress, block my domestic reforms, and interfere with my foreign policy.

For nearly three years, they carried out a massive disinformation campaign and lawless persecution based on the monstrous lie that I was a traitor to my country.

These Deep State plotters spied on my campaign. They forged false evidence to get illegal surveillance warrants and smear innocent people through leaks to the media. They offered $1 million for a fictitious dossier written by a foreign spy to try to frame me with treason. They shattered countless lives.

The Durham Report proves that the key figures involved knew from the start that the Russia Collusion conspiracy theory was a lie. The FBI launched their witch hunt without a scrap of legitimate evidence—and when they came upon exonerating information time after time, they covered it up and kept the hoax going forward.

The sickness was driven from the very top. FBI Director James Comey constantly pressured agents for more surveillance and warrants, demanding to know over and over “Where is the FISA, where is the FISA?”

Barack Obama and Joe Biden were in on it, too. They were briefed in August 2016 on reports that Clinton planned to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.” They knew the truth, yet they put our country through hell.

As savage and cruel as the Russia Hoax was for me, my family, my staff, and so many innocent bystanders, the real victims were the American People.

The destruction this hoax caused to America is almost incalculable. It subverted our democracy, it threatened our security, and it endangered our freedom.

At a critical moment when we should have been reducing tensions with Russia, the Russia Hoax stoked mass hysteria that helped drive Russia straight into the arms of China.

Instead of having a better relationship with Russia as I worked to build, we now have a proxy war with Russia, fueled in part by the lingering fumes of Russiagate delirium. Ukraine has been utterly devastated. Untold numbers of people have been killed. And we could very well end up in World War III.

As the Twitter Files have proven, the Radical Left establishment also used the Russia Hoax to attack freedom of speech. They built a sprawling domestic censorship regime under the guise of combatting so-called “Russian disinformation”—which they quickly defined to include any content they did not like.

The intelligence community, the media, and the Silicon Valley tech companies then deployed this very pretext, “Russian disinformation,” to censor the Biden corruption scandal in 2020—censorship orchestrated, as we now know, by the Biden campaign.

In one poll last year, 79 percent of Americans following the story about Hunter Biden’s sordid laptop said truthful coverage of that wrongly censored story would have changed the outcome of the election. Our country is now paying a very steep price.

Perhaps most dangerous of all, the Russia Hoax normalized the weaponization of law enforcement against the Left’s political enemies. The Radical Democrats and their media partners now cheer as Biden’s DOJ demands the FBI investigate parents at school board meetings, deploys heavily armed teams to arrest pro-life activists, and pursues an all-out persecution of Joe Biden’s leading opponent for the presidency.

These corrupted agencies have interfered in every election since 2016—and they are interfering in the 2024 election before our very eyes.

There must be a reckoning. Accountability now lies in the hands of the voters. The Durham Report has made the stakes abundantly clear, and now the choice is ours: either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.”

I just bailed off of the MSN webpage thing; red banner screamed "Trump Indicted....Etc". Closed it. Different day, same crap as before. Don't even want to read the story as no doubt the announcement was timed to be THE big news story on nightly news.

I need a drink.

And the next several days to divert what's going on with Snuffit and Poopie Pants.
