Maybe it’s just me, but I envision they are using the term “domestic violence extremists” to describe those farmers and ranchers who are trying to protect their properties. The ones that have to take matters in their own hands for protection since the government has the border patrol agents’ hands tied. Just like labeling republicans nihilists and dangerous.

Anyone that doesn't feel outrage at our current WH Admin after reading that article should have their ass kicked...end of story. :mad:

They are openly attacking 50% of the population in hopes of instigating a violent response. And if that doesnt work, they’ll create one out of thin air.

They are committed to the destruction of this country to advance their agenda of a permanent ruling class which they hope to be a part of.

Stumbled across this last night. I’m sure everyone has heard/read about it, but thought I would post just in case. You will have to scroll down to where the quote of “I am a student of law…” begins. Amazing what was out in the open even back in 1954. See how much of what was written sounds familiar. Forgive the source; it was the cleanest I could find.

This is the same guy who ran our “Intelligence” agency’s who totally missed the 911 plot, and got caught lying to Congress in 2017 about US torture of detainees.

He was also was among the dozens of ex-intel officials who signed the infamous October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop letter) calling it a Russian hoax.

“Hayden, who suffers from aphasia as a result of a stroke in 2018 and is terminally afflicted with a severe case of TDS

He’s a professional liar

Last night as we were playing with our 3.5 month old son, I couldn’t help but think how my life has improved and how happy he has made us. I can’t imagine or remember life without him. I take every opportunity I have to hold him, help him play with his toys, or watch TV with him(Baby Shark song is permanently etched in my brain).
However, at the same time, my heart breaks. I want to look at him and apologize for what he has been brought into. I have never seen a time, nor have I imagined a time when things would degrade this fast in this country. I’m truly terrified for what he will have to deal with. At the same time I’m also ticked off because it seems like all the time I spent working and fighting to secure his future has been futile.
I guess at this point, all I can do is just enjoy my time with him and be the best father I can. Instruct and guide him as my parents did with me and try to keep him close to God. I realize that this was probably not the proper place/thread to post this message, but with everything going on and everything I have read, my mind just wandered down this path. Sorry for being long winded.
By the way, this is not me agreeing to or condoning abortion, so any trolls can kiss off. This is just a father worrying about his son’s future.

Lies, deception, inversion, and projection.

When Antifa and BLM destroyed downtown Portland and Seattle, was there outrage? Of course not. The MSM supported and glorified them.
When US citizens question election integrity and provided proof of their claims, is there outrage? Of course! The MSM calls us extremists and nihilists.

There's the lies, there's the inversion, where they project their sins onto us.

Recognize what they do, call it out, show people what's going on.
Slowly, people will begin to understand.

For those who can read:

This Timeline of Trumpworld Excuses Proves Mar-a-Lago Raid Week Was Even Stupider Than You Remember


Jack Holmes
Wed, August 17, 2022 at 6:22 PM·9 min read


The week that began Monday, August 8, provided such a neat encapsulation of the Trump Scandal Defense Cycle that we should not allow it to drift into summer-dog-day oblivion without comment. Each day brought a new development almost divinely crafted to expose the knee-jerk nihilist sycophancy of Trump's defenders, as they repeatedly threw themselves in front of the Reality Bus only to be shocked—SHOCKED!—to find themselves under the wheels by the following lunchtime.
The only difference from the good ol' days of the reality-show presidency was that the protagonist's efforts to throw out new outrage bait to drag the watching world away from the previous outrage did not succeed. He was stuck on one issue, continually spouting new excuses but unable to upend the game board. Let's review.
Monday
Late in the day, we learned that the FBI had executed a search warrant approved by a federal magistrate judge to search Trump's club and residence at Mar-a-Lago. The immediate question for many creatures who've been sentient for the last half-decade was, Which investigation was the raid in relation to? Soon enough, we learned it had to do with classified documents Trump took down to Florida from the White House. The immediate reaction from Trump was to suggest, without evidence, that President Joe Biden was behind the raid. The reaction from many of his fans, who all seemed to get a memo that was copypasta'd across a wide variety of MAGA bootlicker accounts, was some version of:
If they can do this to a former president, imagine what they can do to you.
Well, if I was under investigation for federal crimes, I might expect a visit from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. That a former president could also face investigation on suspicion he broke the law is not some profound disturbance in the Force, it's an indication that, per our lofty credo, no one is above the law. By that evening, though, the same people who rail against defunding the police were calling for the FBI to be defunded and/or abolished. The major takeaway in MAGAland was that there was nothing there and no legitimate reason for the search.
Tuesday
January 6 pep rally MC-slash-Olympic sprinter Josh Hawley called for Attorney General Merrick Garland to resign or be impeached. He insisted the FBI Director, Christopher Wray—appointed by a certain D. Trump—must be removed from office. This was because the FBI serving a search warrant constituted "an unprecedented assault on democratic norms and the rule of law." And Hawley would know.
His Senate colleague, Ted Cruz, helped to kick off the calls to "RELEASE THE WARRANT," though he did grant that the search would only constitute political persecution if the Feds failed to produce evidence Trump was hoarding documents with serious national security implications. (For what it's worth, I also was saying they better produce the goods at the time, and that's still the case.) Also for what it's worth, Trump could have immediately released his copy of the warrant—and the inventory of items taken, of which he also had a copy—at any point after the search.
There was also the debut of "the president can declassify anything," which isn't strictly true and also does not speak to whether Trump actually declassified these documents. We were also treated to the line that the FBI had mostly recovered boxes of knick-knacks like cocktail napkins and golf balls.
Wednesday
We arrived, fitfully, at the new talking point: The evidence was planted. Trump started saying that he and his lawyers had not been permitted to watch the search "to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not, 'planting.'" But then his lawyer, Christina Bobb, said on Real America's Voice that the Family Trump watched the raid remotely. At this point, you'll note the documents were not important, were magically declassified if they were important, and also were planted by the FBI. Rand Paul also floated this latter idea on the television, while another Trump lawyer, Alina Habba, also went on Fox News to say, "I'm concerned that they may have planted something." Again, zero evidence to support this. Totally normal lawyer stuff.
Elsewhere, Trump started yelling that Barack HUSSEIN Obama took 30 million documents—then it was 33 million—to Chicago after his presidency, and surely some were bad like Trump's? "How many of them pertained to nuclear?" he asked. "Word is, lots!" The National Archives and Records Administration swiftly issued a statement that (twist!) this was fabulously false, and those documents are in NARA's possession.
Fox News luminary Brian Kilmeade, filling in for Tucker Carlson, put a doctored photo on-screen that purported to show the judge who signed off on the warrant, Bruce Reinhardt, with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Kilmeade would later say this was "in jest"—you know, a joke where you insinuate a federal judge is a pedophile when he's already subject to a barrage of anti-Semitic threats that have forced his synagogue to cancel the weekend's services.
Thursday
The news was not good for Trump. New revelations indicated the documents in question were quite serious. The New York Times reported they included "special access programs," a kind of super top secret, while the Washington Post shared that some had to do with nuclear weapons. Trump responded with a new line, asking why-oh-why the FBI didn't just ask for the documents. The flying monkeys descended to whine about why Mar-a-Lago was raided—INVADED!—when the federales could simply have submitted a nice request to get the documents back.
"My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established," Trump truthed on Truth Social. "The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it."
But later that day, the Times reported that Trump had been served a subpoena months earlier, as the Feds sought to recover the documents without a raid. (Back in January 2022, the National Archives separately went and retrieved 15 boxes of material.) Justice Department officials also met with Trump's lawyers at Mar-a-Lago in June and reviewed some of the materials and the security setup. A glance at the latter prompted them to ask Trump's people to put a padlock on the storage room. One of Trump's lawyers signed a written declaration then that all the classified material had been returned to the Feds.
But then Attorney General Merrick Garland addressed the situation and agreed to release the warrant, and the accompanying inventory of items seized was soon public as well. It included 11 sets of classified documents. Sounds like maybe they were not "cooperating fully"? We also learned the search was related to an investigation into three specific crimes: violation of the Espionage Act, obstruction, and theft or destruction of government records. Intriguingly, none of these potential charges reportedly hinge on the documents in question being classified.
Friday
At this point, we've heard there was nothing important in the boxes (until there was); the rule of law was under threat because a former president was being investigated (for possibly breaking the law); and the documents were planted by the FBI. Also, Obama. But wait, what about that whole notion that they'd been magically declassified by the president? It was on the back-burner all week, but Trump turned to it in his time of need as the weekend approached and every other excuse had fallen through. The previously "planted" documents were suddenly legit, and he'd declassified them. In fact, Trump announced—incredibly—that he'd had a standing order in place to declassify all documents he brought to the White House residence.

Yes, the president who made 285 visits to a golf club during his tenure was hard at work. Mr. Trump also has a bridge to sell you. By the way, if all this is true, why didn't he just sort all this out by giving the documents back when the Feds asked for them? Why does he need (in this formulation, "formerly") classified documents in his basement?
At this point, yet another excuse started to roll in: Trump didn’t pack the boxes himself! (Granted, virtually no one thinks that he was in there with packing tape.) He didn’t know what was in there! So again, why did he refuse to give them back when repeatedly asked?
But that was a prelude to the ultimate excuse, a shameless special: Trump was so caught up in the “chaotic time” of January 2021 that he didn’t have time for this stuff. Fox News kicked it off on Friday:

NBC News came in with a report the following day that seemed to extend this reasoning:

If you’re following along at home, the idea is that Trump was so caught up with his autogolpe that he didn’t have time to worry about all this classified stuff. He didn’t think about leaving until after his coup failed! You can’t blame him for then heading down to Florida with some top-secret intel and stashing it in his basement!
But wait, there was still time for one more lickspittle to jump all the way out on yet another limb:

Alright, man. Jump out in front of that bus. I'm sure Captain Trump will swerve to avoid you.

Wow, so damn accurate! Thank you for posting!

Thus, I arrived at a midpoint, and will quote a great recent piece by a former California judge, Keith Alber. His honor's poignant missive is concise and elegant, unlike my writing.

"I am a student of law whose age is 85. My first year of college was 68 years ago. One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn a democracy:

- Divide the nation philosophically.

- Foment racial strife.

- Cause distrust of police authority.

- Swarm the nation's borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally.

- Engender the military strength to weaken it.

- Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation.

- Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime.

- Control all balloting.

- Control all media.

What was printed in 1954 as a possible diabolic nightmare has become an emerging reality. I hope that Americans will unite enough to pen a good finish."

No apologies needed my friend. You are among those patriots from a generation (or two) behind many of us old farts that give hope.

We’ll do the best we can, and rest assured we unconditionally have your back. But it is those like you that will carry the ball and win the day. Godspeed.
