Looking forward to the Kurt whataboutisms and suggestions that Joe is just trying to eliminate the guy who's gonna win in 2024. Never mind that he's likely committed multiple crimes.

per NYT: The search, according to two people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, after he left the White House. Those boxes contained many pages of classified documents, according to a person familiar with their contents.
âAfter working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,â Mr. Trump said, maintaining it was an effort to stop him from running for president in 2024. âSuch an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.â
âThey even broke into my safe!â he wrote. âWhat is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.â
(Implying, of course, that a true Republican would not have investigated him.)
Trump asks:
âWhat is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee?"
One big difference in today's case is that a judge issued a search warrant having been convinced that evidence existed that could prove a crime was committed.

âWhy canât you be like the German generals?â Mr. Trump told John Kelly, ... the chief of staff told Mr. Trump that Germanyâs generals had âtried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.â NYTimes
You can always count on Trump to continue to admire and emulate dictatorial regimes.

I see the GOP now as someone in a zombie movie who's been bitten. They aren't going to recover, and they'll just recruit others to join their group - unless the non-infected form an island of themselves, away from the original group.
Democrats need to bind together, despite their wildly different ideas of what the future should be, and the GOP needs to split like an amoeba into two parts: Trump-worshippers and folks who espouse smaller government, fewer taxes, more freedom/fewer rules. Obviously, the current GOP has nothing to do with personal freedom (see all their new lawmaking), and aren't at all about smaller government with less intervention. That version of the GOP needs to get its footing again.
American elections are all about voter turnout. You need to keep your base and as many swing voters as possible engaged and motivated to get out to vote. In actuality, I think most swing voters don't really swing between parties but swing between voting and not voting.
That's why voter suppression in predominantly democrat districts is so important to the republicans.
For me, the priority is convincing the Republican Party to turn away from Trump.

A lot of people I know are going to switch parties to vote for her, for this reason. I have said (here and elsewhere) that I will send her a Hallmark card and never vote for her.
LOL! Fair enough. I do remember you making that point earlier.
Clearly, I have little or no concern for many local issues that may be of great importance to you and others in your community.
For me, the priority is convincing the Republican Party to turn away from Trump. Most of the time, the choice for sitting president is between tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Centrist political forces keep things predictable and relatively stable. US powerful special interests act in a fairly consistent manner. Communication is easy.
You should watch or re-watch the testimony of Rusty Bowers and Brad Raffensperger. Both men voted for Trump. Bowers said he'd vote for Trump again if he ran against Biden.
Both men were threatened and harassed beyond belief.
Exactly. That is my point. Most unfortunate.
Perhaps unrelated, but here and there in US-based social media I am seeing some really disrespectful, nasty back and forth in the comments section. (RP is rather well behaved by comparison.)
Between the decline in civil discourse and the rampant lying that that passes for 'politics', I am worried. The world is a very technologically complex place these days. A constant stream of personal insults and mistruths is not helping.
How much courage does it take to challenge a liar and attempted thief?
