celebrating their most successful period they've had in their last 2 years?
They are celebrating the fact that the outlook for the Nov. Elections is beginning to turn around for them. Right now it looks like the Dems will gain seats in both the House & Senate in Nov.
The Repugs are taking hits from all sides with their off the wall positions on all sorts of issues that are important to just about every major voting bloc of the American People.
The Repugs now have a cause to rally their troops in Nov and they are going to make hay with it.
Witch hunt. Persecution. Power grab. Change America for the worse.
They will use every made up lie they can to retain power.
I'm sorry that I've become so jaded - but given the many lies and concocted stories that have found support by the Tr**p cultists - I've become so very suspicious of everything that happens these days.
This raid story is going to be the main topic in the news cycle for weeks now.
I still suspect that before Nov we'll see a big oil refinery fire that will raise the price of gas again just before the election.

(94,601 posts)You imagine there are "rogue" FBI agents and that an organized a raid of a former President would occur without sign-off by the Attorney General himself?

(19,067 posts)But as the op states, the timing is bad for Dems. Knocks the great news off the headlines. Hopefully just coincidence, but Id hope an indictment follows quickly.

(115,735 posts)Are you suggesting the FBI did this to help TFG and the GOP? Seriously?

(25,253 posts)I guess we'll just have to wait and see what develops.
I can't believe that imbecile Tr**p didn't have Mar-A-Lago sanitized of everything that would even smack of illegality. I got to think it was cleaned of any incriminating evidence.
I can't believe he's that stupid to leave anything like that to be found. He's not that stupid is he? Or is he?

(10,252 posts)A month ago I was pretty depressed about the prospects for Dems in the mid-terms. But my today seems very bright and hopeful. We never know what tomorrow may bring. The main thing is to stay focused on voting a straight Dem ticket in Nov. If you are able to help in a local election, do that.
Maintain a calm-abiding and peaceful mind. We are a lot better able to deal with whatever comes our way if we stay calm and carry on.

(32,712 posts)fuck like tfg can continue his crime spree? I really hope not. I'm assuming after what happened in Kansas that people are focused. But I guess we'll see...

(1,897 posts)If reports are the President had no advance notice of the raid, implicating him is rather difficult, yes?
Things are just coming up roses at the moment for us.

(11,029 posts)I think the OP is suggesting this is a nothing burger orchestrated by the FBI to paint Dems as out of control Brownshirts.
I disagree with the conspiracy, I think a lot of people are so used to the other show falling that they assume that by default.

(10,053 posts)and independents have been disappointed that a move on Trump had not happened and so many were sure he would skate. I don't think it will hurt him with those that will vote for him. Trumpers were never going to vote dem.

(54,027 posts)This is happening after evidence came to light at an investigation demonstrated that he had violated the laws regarding presidential documents.
Biden has strenuously avoided politicizing the investigation of the Trump Admin.'s criminal activity, as he should. This is not a political matter, it's a criminal should be treated as such by law enforcement agents.
