Although I'm amazed by how many believe Trump's stories/lies about the Mar-a-Lago search warrant I shouldn't be. If people will pay $29.95 for a pet rock they will believe anything. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

NEW: According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump's passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.
Trump lies about everything, so guess he lied about this too? Just to slime the FBI?

I'd post a link. But obviously, that's NSFW.
Just give her the job Fox News. She's been auditioning for this job ever since she went after the only Black Female Presidential candidate in 2020. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

A Nuclear War Could Starve Billions, But One Country May Be Safer Than The Rest
Quote:
While the study advances past predictions with more accurate data, there are still plenty of unknowns when it comes to ways humanity would struggle in the wake of a nuclear war. Future measures could take advantage of improved models involving more crops, or predict how systems of trade and economics would redistribute goods. Other factors, such as the loss of ozone, and deaths of pollinators, would also go some way in affecting managed and unmanaged resources. Taking these into account could see our mortality rate grow even further.

As soon as Trump calls them out publicly they will be back in line. Tucker probably said it to purposely incite his viewers to violence. Laura jumps on and off the Trump train depending on the day of the week. She was still pushing the lie that the FBI "planted" evidence just a few days ago.

I do think Fox would prefer to start marketing DeSantis over Trump -- but they can't get out ahead of their base. And the base is stuck to Trump like glue.

DOJ had them and returned them:
Quote:
Passports belonging to Donald Trump have been returned to the former president after last week's FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home, a Justice Department official told NBC News on Monday.
The FBI acknowledged it had had the passports the same day Trump said on his social media platform that FBI agents who conducted the search on Aug. 8 took them.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said agents "stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else." He did not provide further details or specify whether the travel documents were personal or government passports. (Presidents receive diplomatic passports when they take office.)
A Justice Department official said Trump's passports have been returned.
A representative for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

So... are folks here feeling more optimistic about 2022 and 2024 now compare to say 6 months ago?
Yes and no. Because the SCOTUS is so blatant now, the GOP has had the ability to really gerrymander and pass voter restrictions that will hold up, so while I feel better about the senate (as good as I can remembering how easily the swing voters swing), the house is going to be really tough to hold. Then there’s the prospect that the 24 election might be won and then reversed by gop state legislatures. _________________ “We must always take sides.
