Trump: Nice Little Country You’ve Got There... Be a Shame If Something Happens to It
Real Americans Don’t Negotiate with MAGA Terrorists
The former president of the United States, aka, caricature of a Dear Leader, is taking his flood the media with BS campaign into overdrive.
Now he’s ginning up a social media effort to inspire stochastic terrorism by claiming that "terrible things are going to happen" if the country's temperature isn't brought down. He, of course, is the only one who can calm the frenzy of threats and nutcases waving AR-15s around.
Via Joan McCarter:
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one—years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said. “There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country—at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” Trump said.
He said he told the Justice Department he would help, but they haven’t responded to his “offer” yet. “I think they would want the same thing—I’ve never seen anything like this,” Trump said. “It is a very dangerous time for our country.”
Mixed in with the baseless accusation of an FBI of a "sneak attack" on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida are the litany of excuses from Dear Leader and his acolytes designed to draw attention away from his culpability.
the government could have just subpoenaed the documents (they did, were ignored)
“they could have planted anything they wanted."
“years of fake witch hunts and phony Russia, Russia, Russia schemes and scams”
a demand that all documents be returned.
the FBI took boxes of privileged ‘attorney-client’ material
what-about Obama? (National archives controls his materials)
‘I used my magic wand’ to declassify all the documents
what-about Hillary Clinton? (nothing there)
all those secrets can be found on your smartphone
only one box had super-secret stuff
I was too busy to know what was in those boxes
If I don’t run for president any charges will be dropped
documents were kept on purpose to let the people know about stuff and keep us out of wars
The former president’s “offer” is a signal to his followers and to the Department of Justice and to the FBI, just like the debate statement about the Proud Boys. If he doesn’t get what he wants, his thugs are ready to attack. Again.
Well, I don’t really expect the law enforcement industrial complex to do much more than ignore the words coming out of Trump’s mouth. They’ve told their people –many of whom drank the Kool-Aid, BTW– to be careful.
I do expect that a few brave elected officials will call this out for what it is.
Come on, folks. It's time for decent people everywhere to stand up and say “no mas.”
Librarians, lawyers, judges, teachers, and doctors (to name a few) are all having to put up with an onslaught of threats and intimidation. And the fish stinks from the head.
FYI, also: The documents didn’t need to be classified under the statutes the warrant used for the search. The whole “ they were or weren’t classified” is completely moot.
