A report from the Right

In another thread, I bravely (?) offered to venture over to the Right and elsewhere to gauge the reactions to today's news of the FBI raids on Cohen's office and home. I was concerned for my survival but, quite obviously, here I am.

Here's a sampling of quotes I found on Free Republic:

Göttermuellerung. Is this the Twilight of the Muellers? Did Robert Mueller violate attorney-client privilege today in his raid on Michael Cohen's office in a desperate attempt to divert attention from the DOJ IG report that he knows is going to hammer down in days on the Deep State Swamp?

It's almost like he is begging to be fired in order to draw attention from the firestorm of that IG report.


Alan Dershowitz: If FBI Raided Hillary's Attorney, ACLU Would be 'Jumping Up and Down'


FR is the best RT Civics Class EVER! I constantly learn from our knowledgeable community.................................................................................. . So, my questions is this: Is it possible for this raid to have been carried out WITHOUT having to have made its way up the food chain and on to Wray's desk? .........................................................................................................The true answer to this question will tell us a lot


MEANWHILE, over at Jackpine Radicals:

There were exactly two posts in the past 20 hours that referenced Trump/Cohen/Daniels. Neither post was a defense of Trump. Rather, they were simply links to other news sites.

Fascinating.

Are we too obsessed with our navel gazing or are they all sticking their heads in their asses?

... are still waiting for Hillary to keel over from the dozens of fatal diseases they insisted she had during the 2016 campaign, followed by a death-bed confession that she personally murdered Seth Rich on her way to deliver two dozen sex-slave children to a pizza place in D.C.

I doubt they have their heads up their asses, because they wouldn't want to cause a blockage in the place where they get their "facts".

This is yet another of your brilliant lines:

Thank you.

... putting kids in a basement that didn't exist. But I understand there was plenty of pizza to go around.

Every once in a while someone brings them up. I don’t know much of them, but from what I can gather in peoples’ posts, is that they use to be people from DU who left and started their own site. I finally googled them and visited their site. Lol, it’s almost identical to the way DU is organized.

And from the posts, I don’t know where they stand on issues...Some of it is stuff you would think is coming from Limbaugh and Hannity, and some stuff they do seem Liberal...it’s all over the place

It will hurt your brain.

There are several DUers who post there but they tend to be non-political posts. Social networking, ya know?

Generally, the politics expressed are reactionary and a bit uninformed.

Oh, well.

9. Two points you've raised

First, I originally searched JPR's "Latest" posts going back about 24 hours. There were exactly two posts about the Cohen raids.

When I went back after I read your counter-post, I found one more.

I can acknowledge that perhaps I didn't look in the right forum at JPR. Perhaps you could show me where to look.

Second, in my OP, I referred to "elsewhere." I specifically meant JPR. Sorry if you like the site. I don't.

Peace.

Do you mean I should have read through all of the responses to OP's that weren't related to the subject of the Cohen story?

I'm disingenuous?

Kindly enlighten me. Thank you.

Racist to their core. Trip overthemselves to praise Putin. Have called for the death of Clinton. Huge into state rights and a weak federal government.

What else is needed?
