#1 G.D., that Garland is an absolute piece of dreck.

#3 If "the fix is in," it was not well designed or rehearsed.

#4 All sorts of federal crimes out there (harassing SCOTUS judges comes to mind), but this AG does nothing.

#5 The whole raid seems like a knee-jerk, panicked reaction. Wonder what they were reacting to? What happened that caused them to jerk the trigger? Just a case of reality catching up or was there some specific event in the week prior to the raid that unhinged them?

#6 /\ Common, garden variety shi* disturbing target of opportunity? Media distraction and diversion from current economic woes. Southern border invasion cover for action? Highway to a fabricated DC indictment? Legal Gordian Knot?

All of the above ?

#7 They had to raid Mar-a-Lago in August because Congress and the J6 committee went on vacation and they have to keep feeding that MSM propaganda machine. Consider the raid to be a "summer replacement" program.

#8 Nice assessment Abu. You could very well be 'spot on' with that observation.

#10 Entre'acte?

Would make sense; mouse radio news this morning was all about tying Gorby's death to Mar-a-Lago.

"semi-fascist" sounds very focus groupy, or at least beer pong circle. Drop Proud Boys in the news by providing armed security for kidnappers taking children to a grooming session - that's Teachers on a Field Trip for you LBGQROOMERS+.

#11 sounds very focus groupy

Ultra MAGA was supposed to be the new scarewords. Seems focus groups aren't as predictive as those selling them would like. As Frank Luntz how that bidness is going these days.

Up next, "nazi-ish."

He may have taken a paper trail...to immolation.

#13 Trump's former acting director of National Intelligence calls for FBI agent who took photo of scattered classified documents to be FIRED - as MAGA allies claim scene was staged

#14  Seems focus groups aren't as predictive as those selling them would like.

I’ve been in one and led a few focus groups. They must be handled very carefully — it’s extremely easy for one enthusiastic personality to take the whole thing in her (or his, I suppose) direction. That’s why I sat in only the one.

#15 Remember, focus groups gave Pontiac the Aztek.
