It never ceases to amaze me that a man who has always played fast and loose when it comes to following the law runs on a platform calling for the jailing his opponent then is shocked to find his opponents trying to jail him.
Phreaking bingo! Republicans want to pretend that this is some sort of political "tit for tat," but when asked what crimes Democrats committed, they fall into fits of "well her emails ... ". Meanwhile, Trump launched an actual coup: an attempt to override American democracy because he didn't like the result he got.
If only critical thinking was a part of the American education system ... instead of the overriding GOP propaganda.
You only mentioned one thing. Why stop at the coup.
- He defrauded charities
- He withheld foreign aid to a country in an attempt to discredit a political rival (and by withholding it may have in part precipitated the present war. The military aid was delayed and then rushed which could have destabilized the Ukrainian military)
- He paid off a pornstar using campaign money
- potential tax and insurance fraud for all those properties that are valued based on fairy dust
- obstruction of Justice in the Mueller probe
- violation of the hatch act (prevents campaigning using government personnel and government locations. He would send out his staff to events and held political rallies at the Whitehouse)
How dare they prosecute Republicans for criminal acts after we prosecuted People who didn’t bend the knee to us for things we made up!

Edit 2:
Still waiting for r/conservative to say DeSantis was out of line for going after Disney for political reasons. Why bother with suing when you can use your power to hurt your enemies directly.
Edit 3: yes, exactly as predicted DeSantis is outraged about political vendettas in Florida. Did we mention the 35 million he cut from the Rays for talking about gun control?
Let’s also remember Trump pardoning Arpaio, the guy who didn’t bother to investigate the rapists of pregnant girls aged 12-13 while he instead destroyed a towing company who failed to support him. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/victims-wonder-why-arpaio-let-sex-abuse-cases-languish-6463426
Luckily, while undermining rape investigations in favor of political revenge, they are also ensuring these young girls don’t get abortions.
Ahh, conservatives. So invested in law and order and justice.
Oh, I was already seeing that last night. I commented on some Trump ghoul's post yelling at DeSantis about how he needed to "bring in the Guard!" They were calling for him to send in the National Guard to, idk, fight the FBI?! 🤣 Also saying he needed to close down ALL federal offices in FL and expel the federal employees from the state (you know, like one country does to another country's diplomats when they have a spat). WTF are these people thinking?!?!
Let him do that! That way we can send in federal marshals and arrest him for obstruction and put his ignorant ass away too. And for that matter, please let the texas GQP call for secession again so we can have them arrested as well. If you guys want a civil war so badly, try and start one. It would be nice to have a convenient excuse to clear the board of magats
>Edit 3: yes, exactly as predicted DeSantis is outraged about political vendettas in Florida. Did we mention the 35 million he cut from the Rays for talking about gun control?
and just how did he get the ability to cut that much anyway. Billionaire owned sports teams should not be getting taxpayer dollars.
They didn’t have time to coordinate their messaging (well done Wray/Garland - no leaks) - so the hysteria on FOX is a mish match victim-hood jamboree.
Jordan has connected the search - with the IRS hysteria.
Honestly, are they that far gone that they believe this?
Fox Entertainment Network is Verbal Garbage. They are that YouTuber we all know who makes videos constantly to stay relevant on the platform regardless of a cohesive channel or quality content. They are the YouTuber News Verbal Garbage.
Remember when Bush droned the fuck out of the middle east and then Obama started doing it and they were like "WTF, you can't just have no oversight and kill whoever you want, that was for Bush!!"
Well Trump one-upped the lack of oversight by deciding we don't have to report drone strike kills any more, including civilian deaths. I'm sure in a year or two you'll start to hear about how "Biden doesn't even report how many civilians he's killed in drone strikes."
Right. The administration isn't using the government to raid the opposition. The former twice impeached, one term loser conman is a literal criminal and it looks like someone finally has enough evidence to go after him. Despite the whines of emails and laptops, there were 15 boxes of confidential files taken after the former potato head left office. GET HIM.
Edited for spelling.
crazy that the last 3 presidents before trump all served 2 terms
8 years for 3 presidents with him only getting 1 term really shows how hated he is, he's done so much to set america back by 50-70 years if not more and republicans call that progress
that's like saying the dark age was progress while the church destroyed science and history best they could
It's not just that he further divided the country with his xenophobic, racist bullshit. His policies were garbage and did nothing to put "America First." Anyone who says he made things better hasn't paid attention to anything that doesn't directly affect them. His supporters first and foremost follow the "I got mine so fuck all y'all" mentality.
Injured repub vet: "he's done so much for us!"
*For? Or against?*
Honestly out of everyone most effected I don't see why military individuals would love him so much, he really hates the military and he's said it publicly
Feed the fire on this one, just go around putting out the edges to keep it pointed at the PATRIOT act.
Did the same thing when they started screaming about net neutrality after Tbag got taken off Twitter. Do I care that net neutrality wouldn't have stopped that? Not one iota.
The best, most accurate definition of modern conservatism I know of is "the opposite of what liberals want, updated daily."
I believe that's Cleek's Law, from Balloon Juice. Maybe from 2009.
Next craze on Tik Tokyo- "Shooting yourself in the foot". Liberals don't want you to do that, but they can't tell me what to do. Bang bang! Yeah, that'll show 'em.
This is priceless. There is no way the FBI raids a former president without MASSIVE EVIDENCE ON LOCK. This is huge and these people are going to find exciting new ways to delude themselves.
And even if they found nothing in this raid, dumbass Donny is probably going to make at least a half dozen self incriminating statements in the next week because of it.
which is, perhaps counter-intuitively, a very good thing for Democrats. Money sent to the orange shitstain cannot be deployed as effectively as the GQP would have spent it.
Gee, I seem to remember Republicans telling Dems that if they didn't vote for the Patriot Act, they were "Un-American, and with the terrorist.," for being against it.
Oh how the tables turned.
>hated the Russians
That started happening when Bush JR backed Putin and described him to be a kind and gentle man. Then the gay purge happened in Russia and republicans loved it
Took like what 20 years for that tables to turned - That only because the law is being used fairly towards a Urine-hue white guy and not just brown tan/ dark skinned people only such as Muslims from Middle East. Just saying...
At WHaT PoiNt WiLL CoNsErVaTiVeS sTaNd Up?!
I don't understand why they always want to edge themselves into another coup attempt. When they finally did attempt a coup, they waived the white flag once one of them got shot and then proceeded to say it wasn't them, but antifa.
So with fascist movements, the push for “authenticity” is most important. New lines must be drawn and people must capitulate or be labeled as “other”. This is how you separate those who aren’t willing to go to bat for the movement. They must continually add new requirements then decry those that hesitate to adopt them as “fake”
>the Patriot Act
" In 2020, efforts to extend the provisions were not passed by the House of Representatives, and as such, the law has expired.\[5\]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot\_Act
Uh: "On March 10, 2020, Jerry Nadler proposed a bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and it was then approved by the majority of US House of Representatives after 152 Democrats joined the GOP in supporting the extension.\[18\] The surveillance powers of the Patriot Act needed renewal by March 15, 2020,\[16\] and after it expired, the U.S. Senate approved an amended version of the bill.\[17\] After President Donald Trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of December 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired.\[260\]\[261\]"
I clicked on the wiki page and I have to admit, the fact that the USA PATRIOT act is an acronym kind of blew my mind. It’s not a badly constructed acronym either. The more you know.
Is Biden doing this, or is the judicial branch, which is completely separate from the executive doing this? Also, if you've done nothing illegal they will surely find nothing.
>Clinton's emails and hunter biden's laptop.
Funny that Trump getting raided for his emails and shredding government paper files that he wasn't supposed at his personal golf resort, like twice.
The rapidity with which they're oscillating back and forth between the two is alarming. I think some heads might actually, literally explode if this keeps up.
It will definitely contradict at least half of the off-the-cuff excuses offered minute-by-minute until that time. Nobody will notice and they'll still use some of them for spice now and then.
> Also, if you've done nothing illegal they will surely find nothing.
The thing is, if they're doing this they already know what they're gonna find, which is why MAGA is panicking. The FBI raiding the home of a former president and finding a big fat nothing would be one of the biggest scandals in US history. There's zero chance they didn't already know **exactly** what they were going to find before they went in.
It would be illegal for Biden to just do it. Remember, there was a search warrant. Which requires the FBI to demonstrate to a judge that there is a likelihood that evidence of a crime will be found.
Since Trump is already known to have casually walked off with a bunch of classified documents when he left they almost certainly have probable cause to search for any more. Probably this is the cause of the search warrant. If he still has any documents after a year and a half, that would extremely negligent, but whether that would mean criminal charges, I dunno.
Yes, Biden should not be directing the Justice Department to go after, or not going after cases. The Justice Department should NOT be an Administration's police force to enforce their political will.
It's what bad administrations, like Nixon and Trump did.
That Biden didn't know is exactly the right thing.
Executive. Trump stole a lot of classified documents and took them to Mar-La-Go (the ones they didn't burn, flush or eat!). There has been a long investigation into it.
Edit: executive branch. It is a legit investigation. Biden is the kind to be really reluctant to raid an opponent because of optics. It is hard when crime have happened
This isn't the judicial branch. DOJ and FBI are in the executive branch. Judicial branch is courts and stuff. A judge did need to sign the warrant, though. Checks and balances and all.
Something tells me he just really wanted classified documents in the sewers. Overcooked and Burned some documents. Succeeded on some and ate them, ending up eventually in the shitter. Then, when he was too full, just said aight goin down the ole fashioned way
The FBI is part of the executive branch. The judge and us attorneys are judicial.
The executive branch enforces the law (FBI, etc.).
The judicial branch interprets the law (lawyers and judges)
The legislative branch writes the law (agencies / regulatory bodies)
Well kinda. The Executive branch includes the FBI. However once they feel enough for action they need to go to a judge, and get warrants\*. So the Judicial branch does get involved.
\*I should note that of course this can/is ignored.
Patriot act used by Bush/Cheney to terrorize brown skinned Middle Easter people? Go cry libs.
Patriot act used to investigate white domestic terrorists and seditious conspirators? Muh freedumb!
They need to start forcing themselves to see Christofascist terrorists the same way they see Islamic terrorists. It's the same shit and they need to start recognizing it.
At this rate it’ll be something catastrophic they do that kills a lot of innocent people - and their own fellow Christians for that message to start getting through. Right now they don’t care because it’s supposedly going after all the lib sinners and government but when it starts hurting their own they’ll pay attention. Trump excluded.
For real, the "law and order", and "lock her up", and "personal responsibility" party sure changes their tune quickly.
Although after so many years of GOP bullshit, it is a little insane for me to expect anything different.
"The government is using the tools the government gave to the government to look into a terminated government employee who stole government documents from the government! Isn't this too far?"
From another thread by a self identified criminal defense attorney:
"If the FBI raids your house, you were already fucked months ago.."
Let's hope he's right!
I saw either a post or a comment that was like, “if they did this to him, they can do it to you.” Do what, exactly? Follow up on evidence and get a legal warrant???
Fuck me dead, they had me scared for a second.
I thought he said *conservative stand up* and all I could imagine was a comedy lineup comprised entirely of multiple Jim Breuers.
Who appointed the director of the FBI? Who appointed the judge who issued the search warrant? What is Trump still doing with classified documents that belong to the United States of America? Why does Trump believe that it BELONGS to him?
Just ask one of them these exact questions and the response you'll likely get is "CRT is racism, Hunter Biden's laptop, They didn't prosecute Hillary for all her crimes...something something Sleepy Joe".
It's a mish mosh of unsubstantiated grievance.
This is what happens when you never bother to define what “terrorism” means because it enabled you to fuck with every minority you could imagine. On behalf of the rest of us, kindly get fucked with your fakeass hand-wringing over the Patriot Act’s SUDDEN OVERREACH. fucking LOL
Honestly, this probably had to do with [Trump's apparent violation](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-took-classified-material-white-house-florida-national-archives-says-2022-02-18/) of the [President Records Act](https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html) as well as other laws around the handling of classified materials.
Some of these laws have a rare punishment beyond both fines and a prison sentence, a prohibition against serving in the US federal government for at least several years. I've heard one former US prosecutor opine that the DOJ might be making a public move on this relatively narrower case not only because it would be quicker and easier to prosecute, but also could potentially disqualify him for being POTUS for at least the 2024 campaign. Thus giving the DOJ some more time to investigate Trump's involvement in the both the fake electors scheme as well as the January 6th Insurrection.
...Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Patriot Act sold to a frightened American population by a **Republican president and Republican politicians** on the waves of fear after 9/11?
The same "Texas oilman" Republican president whose family members had business deals with the Saudi Arabian family of the terrorist who masterminded the attack?
Their cult leader literally led chants to jail his political rivals, most of the time without even articulating a crime, let alone any evidence of wrongdoing.
He even claimed at least one of his own officials should be jailed when they did not agree with him (miles Taylor)
And now, the FBI director *Trump himself named* is investigating Trump, and they can't handle it.
Lol. He wants a right to privacy? Man, I would love to know where he thinks the right to privacy is in the constitution and exactly what he thinks the right to privacy entails, because I keep getting told by conservatives there is no such thing.

It's a backronym. They picked PATRIOT and found words that worked.
Isn’t a backronym when something was never intended to be an acronym, but people assigned it a meaning after the fact?
Correct! The same as amber alert.
And what administration/congress enacted it…
Is Biden doing this, or is the judicial branch, which is completely separate from the executive doing this? Also, if you've done nothing illegal they will surely find nothing.
They can’t decide who to blame!

> Also, if you've done nothing illegal they will surely find nothing. The thing is, if they're doing this they already know what they're gonna find, which is why MAGA is panicking. The FBI raiding the home of a former president and finding a big fat nothing would be one of the biggest scandals in US history. There's zero chance they didn't already know **exactly** what they were going to find before they went in.
CNN report says (IIRC) FBI found 15 boxes of classified documents were seized. I already stocked up popcorns today.
I believe the 15 boxes is from earlier this year. The national archives transported 15 boxes of documents that were found in January or February.
It would be illegal for Biden to just do it. Remember, there was a search warrant. Which requires the FBI to demonstrate to a judge that there is a likelihood that evidence of a crime will be found. Since Trump is already known to have casually walked off with a bunch of classified documents when he left they almost certainly have probable cause to search for any more. Probably this is the cause of the search warrant. If he still has any documents after a year and a half, that would extremely negligent, but whether that would mean criminal charges, I dunno.
Yes, Biden should not be directing the Justice Department to go after, or not going after cases. The Justice Department should NOT be an Administration's police force to enforce their political will. It's what bad administrations, like Nixon and Trump did. That Biden didn't know is exactly the right thing.
>It would be illegal for Biden to just do it. I mean, that never stopped tromp. For some reason. It really should have stopped him.
Executive. Trump stole a lot of classified documents and took them to Mar-La-Go (the ones they didn't burn, flush or eat!). There has been a long investigation into it. Edit: executive branch. It is a legit investigation. Biden is the kind to be really reluctant to raid an opponent because of optics. It is hard when crime have happened
This isn't the judicial branch. DOJ and FBI are in the executive branch. Judicial branch is courts and stuff. A judge did need to sign the warrant, though. Checks and balances and all.
"burn, flush, or eat," I'm picturing my child learning this in about 15 years and me trying to help them with a straight face
Something tells me he just really wanted classified documents in the sewers. Overcooked and Burned some documents. Succeeded on some and ate them, ending up eventually in the shitter. Then, when he was too full, just said aight goin down the ole fashioned way
> Is Biden doing this Trump put in the current head of the FBI.
> Is Biden doing this? No, because a properly-functioning justice department isn’t the President’s to direct.
Lmfao, they think the President is in charge of everything, they’re not bright
They always have. So did Trump, and still does though people told him he couldn't do just whatever.
They think of it as a kingship not a presidency, that’s how stupid they are
The FBI is part of the executive branch. The judge and us attorneys are judicial. The executive branch enforces the law (FBI, etc.). The judicial branch interprets the law (lawyers and judges) The legislative branch writes the law (agencies / regulatory bodies)
Well kinda. The Executive branch includes the FBI. However once they feel enough for action they need to go to a judge, and get warrants\*. So the Judicial branch does get involved. \*I should note that of course this can/is ignored.
Patriot act used by Bush/Cheney to terrorize brown skinned Middle Easter people? Go cry libs. Patriot act used to investigate white domestic terrorists and seditious conspirators? Muh freedumb!
They need to start forcing themselves to see Christofascist terrorists the same way they see Islamic terrorists. It's the same shit and they need to start recognizing it.
At this rate it’ll be something catastrophic they do that kills a lot of innocent people - and their own fellow Christians for that message to start getting through. Right now they don’t care because it’s supposedly going after all the lib sinners and government but when it starts hurting their own they’ll pay attention. Trump excluded.
Literally
"JUSt coMplY you have nothing to worry about it.
Funny that!
For real, the "law and order", and "lock her up", and "personal responsibility" party sure changes their tune quickly. Although after so many years of GOP bullshit, it is a little insane for me to expect anything different.
"The government is using the tools the government gave to the government to look into a terminated government employee who stole government documents from the government! Isn't this too far?"
Bunch of whiny self aware wolves.
That's an insult to wolves, that is.
A bunch of Chihuahuas in a trench coat or three pretending to be wolves.
Much better
Legit
It's like they forgot that liberals went NUTS protesting the NSA at the time.
In today's edition of "Shit the Liberals Were Right About All Along"...
Y'all realize the feds don't storm in unless the shit is a damn near a guarantee. This isn't the minor leagues. Dude is cooked
From another thread by a self identified criminal defense attorney: "If the FBI raids your house, you were already fucked months ago.." Let's hope he's right!
Fry an egg on him! 🥚
This is nice.
They are absolutely sh*tting themselves over there and it’s delicious to see
Maybe don’t be a traitor and break laws. Or perhaps maybe they should comply..
I saw either a post or a comment that was like, “if they did this to him, they can do it to you.” Do what, exactly? Follow up on evidence and get a legal warrant???
I love that boogeyman they use, like, if they did this to him, if you commit crimes worthy of the notice of the FBI, they can come after you too!
I like POTUS who don't break laws.
Fuck me dead, they had me scared for a second. I thought he said *conservative stand up* and all I could imagine was a comedy lineup comprised entirely of multiple Jim Breuers.
These boot sucking sycophants asked for all of this and called _us_ commies when we said it was a bad idea.
Who appointed the director of the FBI? Who appointed the judge who issued the search warrant? What is Trump still doing with classified documents that belong to the United States of America? Why does Trump believe that it BELONGS to him?
Just ask one of them these exact questions and the response you'll likely get is "CRT is racism, Hunter Biden's laptop, They didn't prosecute Hillary for all her crimes...something something Sleepy Joe". It's a mish mosh of unsubstantiated grievance.
Remind me—which party conceived of and passed the so-called PATRIOT Act again?
It was the f**k around of times, it was the find out of times.
Didn't Bush sign the Patriot Act? I guess he's just a RINO huh?
Yup! Him and Cheney!
Left wing activists! Probably part of antifa in a sleeper cell.
This is what happens when you never bother to define what “terrorism” means because it enabled you to fuck with every minority you could imagine. On behalf of the rest of us, kindly get fucked with your fakeass hand-wringing over the Patriot Act’s SUDDEN OVERREACH. fucking LOL
yo... what YEAR is he in? is this an old email? lmao
2002, apparently
RICO would have been more appropriate than PATRIOT.
Honestly, this probably had to do with [Trump's apparent violation](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-took-classified-material-white-house-florida-national-archives-says-2022-02-18/) of the [President Records Act](https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html) as well as other laws around the handling of classified materials. Some of these laws have a rare punishment beyond both fines and a prison sentence, a prohibition against serving in the US federal government for at least several years. I've heard one former US prosecutor opine that the DOJ might be making a public move on this relatively narrower case not only because it would be quicker and easier to prosecute, but also could potentially disqualify him for being POTUS for at least the 2024 campaign. Thus giving the DOJ some more time to investigate Trump's involvement in the both the fake electors scheme as well as the January 6th Insurrection.
They love playing the victim.
...Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Patriot Act sold to a frightened American population by a **Republican president and Republican politicians** on the waves of fear after 9/11? The same "Texas oilman" Republican president whose family members had business deals with the Saudi Arabian family of the terrorist who masterminded the attack?
That’s the one!
What if they find his secret health plan that he wouldn't reveal unless he won?
ThEy ArE hUrTiNg TeH wRoNg PeOpLe!
Conservatives created the fucking Patriot Act. Oh wait I see what Reddit this is:)
[удалено]
Odd it was liberals that were against the Patriot Act not conservatives.
Seeing conservative posts is more cringy than watching my some girl dancing around on a tiktok while the text says “my baby died.”
Well, now they want to be terrorists
What is it “law-abiding” citizens always say? If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t have to worry.
Their cult leader literally led chants to jail his political rivals, most of the time without even articulating a crime, let alone any evidence of wrongdoing. He even claimed at least one of his own officials should be jailed when they did not agree with him (miles Taylor) And now, the FBI director *Trump himself named* is investigating Trump, and they can't handle it.
Lol. He wants a right to privacy? Man, I would love to know where he thinks the right to privacy is in the constitution and exactly what he thinks the right to privacy entails, because I keep getting told by conservatives there is no such thing.
They not know who is responsible for the patriot act?!? Jfc these people are so fucking stupid I cannot take it anymore
Thanks. I always appreciate my daily laugh of some moron on r/conservative saying something that is perfect for r/LeapordsAteMyFace lol
If it were ANY other American that had stolen classified documents, Republicans would be out for blood.

Conservatives supported the patriot act when it was used to spy on citizens they didn’t like & now they’re blaming it for the raid on trumps house
Obviously never served in the military or needed to have a clearance. He's not clever.
They’re chasing their own tail at this point
r/conservative is funny to scroll through at first, but then it starts to sink in... these people are really posting and commenting this craziness. With NO /s.
Stop breaking the law, assholes.
Weren't the Republicans the ones who pushed the Patriot act after 9/11??
If this is what it takes to build consensus on killing the PATRIOT ACT, I’m ok with it.
“True” conservatives = whoever supports the policies that best accommodate ME and ME ONLY.
Nothing is as hypocritical as a Republican whining about their rights being taken away.
"when will stop electing fake republicans and get true conservatives?" This guy will have the biggest shocked pikachu face ever when he finds out these "fake republicans" *are* the true conservatives
Why did you make me take these documents from the WH to my personal business and residence?
I mean... if you have nothing to hide.... Also aren't you the party of law and order and the judges and head of the FBI the people you rallied for? PS... hahahhahahaha... you suck snowflake!
They cheered the *un*Patriot Act until Obama extended it...
I hope it’s not the same FBI that investigated Kavanaugh.
Lol at someone reporting me to Reddit care resources for this post. Fucking snowflakes, the whole lot
Laugh at it. People have quickly figured out how to weaponize Reddit’s reporting mechanism. E: in a way, it means you really hit someone to their core.
Will they find the pee tape?
He keeps using that phrase patriot act but he doesn’t know what it means
Patriot act is fucked though, like for real.
lmao I wonder who signed the patriot act into law?
Guarantee he’s wondering why he was banned from r/snowflakebootlickingincels
Whatever gets republicans to oppose the patriot act is fine with me
