People have speculated about purging the senior ranks of anyone who appears to have any loyalty to their country instead of just the GOP.
Well Comey shows you're not safe even if you put the party over the country. Trump has a really weird hate boner for that rat, but since he's a rat I mostly find it funny he's now being procecuted

Wasn't his home already raided and weren't there claims that he held classified documents?

I'd say it's a safe bet he's next.

Yes, Bolton's house was raided a few weeks back.

The pretext was something to do with retaining classified records. Thus this is not just about punishing a critic (because assuredly it is), but the justification is also relevant because retention of records was one of the major legal actions taken against Trump.

That about seven people took seriously.

It's kind of small beans, in a way.

But surely we have to understand the difference between someone having a few documents accidentally lying around, and someone having boxes and boxes of them, deliberately refusing to comply with requests to return them, and obstrucing agents when they eventually come to get them. Never mind convincing evidence that some of these documents were being waved in front of people without clearance even whilst the ex-president said they shouldn't see it. It's that open flouting of the law that is perhaps more serious.

And the answer to that open flouting of the law was the permissiveness of the state and judiciary, even if through incompetence and bias.

No that's what I mean. All those fucking files at Mar-a-Lago. Boxes of them. If I'd done that with official Australian government documents I'd have an AFP tactical team kicking my door and my teeth in, in very short fucking order.

"Trump isn't a tyrant; he's just exempt from the rule of law."

“A draft of the 2025 Global Trends report was carefully reviewed by D.N.I. Gabbard’s team and found to violate professional analytic tradecraft standards in an effort to propagate a political agenda that ran counter to all of the current president’s national security priorities,” the office said.
Of course, Trump's security priorities are to kowtow to strongmen and belittle our allies.

There is a possibility of this

Usually if you want to purge, you leave the next in charge in place to handle to transition. Hegseth has not done this so it less likely to be a purge. Scuttlebutt is that the generals aren't concerned, just annoyed. A 'it could have been an email' meeting

That being said, Hegseth is very incompetent and he does not know how to organize himself out of a wet paper bag. So he could literally be making a stupid mistake like this during a purge

.... and Hegseth being incompetent could be the main reason why this is happening. He's also a photo diva so it could be just that, particularly after he Virtue Signals about being antiwoke

Or it could be all three things at the same time. Hegseth is just that type of guy

Letita James first

The court system cannot deal with any lines crossed so the lines effectively don't exist

Just so everyone is aware, MAGA thinks that Biden crossed these lines first. And by 'these lines', I mean every single line that exists in the US. So Trump has free range to do what ever he wants

I don't even think they honestly think that. They know Trump did a coup and that this was a reason to go after him. In their hearts of hearts they simply know that a crazed dictator going after people for opposing him is not the same as said crazy dictator getting in trouble with the law when doing actual crimes.

The worst educational system in the country is determined to keep its spot.


It's just the Republican dream world, after all: Legal slavery, no women's suffrage, no term limits on the Presidency....

I would suggest listening to them. They think Jan 6 was justified as Biden stole the election first. It wasn't a coup. It was righteous fury. Any fighting back makes you a traitor

Well, is there anyone who says there coup is just a power grab, and isn't justified because of something or other?

To have such disdain for the people who voted for you and still have them rubbing your nob all the time. Glorious.
Be hard not to have such disdain for them, TBH, giving unwavering support while being kicked in the teeth.
