It's really means 1 of 3 things:

1. Trump really is a criminal, and they'll be announcing charges tomorrow that are obvious.

2. The same zombies who still think Trump was working under Putin all this time are still doing everything they can to stop him from being president again.

3. The US is on the fast track to becoming a third world country. Raiding a former leader's home is the shit you expect out of backwards countries in Africa or the Middle East.

I'm guessing a mix of 2 and 3. Good news is this probably guarantees Trump the nomination in 2024!

*It's interesting to remember that destroying the illegal servers you have in your basement when you're sectary of state and then bleaching them does NOT warrant your house getting raided, but being orange man bad does, lol.

The Democrats (and their corrupted FBI) are desperate to prevent Trump from running for president because they’ve got nothing to stop him winning, an incumbent puppet whose dementia is escalating daily, and a VP with zero charisma who talks like a six year old school kid, oh! and AOC on the bench.
They’re literally prepared to try anything to stop him running, next they’ll be planting a baggie of crack and a pipe in Trumps car.

Not sure where you're getting all that, but it does not really jive with reality.
1. A legally permitted rally interrupted by violent counter-demonstrators and gross police misconduct.
2. Flags and assault rifles? 2AM stuff.
3. The problem is that criminals are not scared of the police. Criminals are deified while cops go to prison.
Every cop is a criminal and the sinners saints...

As for the US turning into a Third World, did we really think the good times would last forever? Plus, most of the real problems started long before Trump. I thought he would be a good first step towards solving the problems.

Speaking as someone on the outside looking on in bewilderment I agree with you that it probably comes from both sides. But again, as someone on the outside watching it unfold these are the images that made me think the US has finally turned the corner.

1. A rally where they're carrying torches and chanting Jews will not replace us. Who cares if it's legal, it's something I'd expect to see in the Middle East.
2. Groups of guys cruising around on the back of trucks waving flags and guns around. It might or might not be 2am stuff, I don't know but it's something that made me think of the Taliban when I saw it on the news.
3. Cops. They're in a shit job but I don't feel like some of their number help their cause much.

And then there was/is the whole Trump saga. Again, as someone looking on it's just bizarre to me.

Anyway, it's not my problem so I don't care. I'll keep drinking beer, eating popcorn and watching the biggest TV drama ever unfold.

Good to see the FBI finally taking some action against this criminal. He should have been locked up long time ago.

Apparently Trump got his FBI director who he appointed to push through with the search. Its so Trump can use it to attack Democrats and rally his supported for 2024.

(I made that up but none of us really know what goes on in that murky world, all we get is bit sized bits of information from one side or the other. For any of us to think we know the full story is bonkers.)
