When body-armored paramilitary agents with automatic weapons showed up to raid the house of Donald Trump, former president and rival of sitting U.S. President Joe Biden, many conservatives likened it to the beginning of a banana-republic rule in our country. Conservative columnist George Will is more measured in calling it one more colossal blunder on the part of the Biden administration. Blunder or political move, the weaponization of the legal system for political motives has caused civil wars and destroyed at least one law-based republic in history.

It must be de riguer behavior on the part of commentators to be dismissive of DJT. I suppose if they didn’t say so, they wouldn’t receive those coveted cocktail party invitations.

FTA: “If they come after Trump, can they come after me.”
Some, including the usual Never Trumpers, may scoff, but I have news for you: if you were in the vicinity of the Capitol on 1/6, they already did.

the demcommies remind me of the VC and NVA, in Vietnam when they would send small groups of troops to test the US troops finding where the weaknesses and the strengths of the US troop were and it was the same with the Japanese and the Chicoms in Korea.
everything the demcommies do is measured and calculated to weaken and create self doubt in the repubs and the rest of us, this is the basis of Guerilla warfare when you know you're outgunned and outsmarted, using tact as a weapon is the most intelligent way to operate in any conflict and the repubs aren't doing that

FTA: "By creating a separation of powers, our American Founding Fathers attempted to prevent a recurrence of the Roman tragedy. For nearly two and a half centuries, it has worked, but the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week signifies a very dangerous potential precedent."
This has nothing to do with the separation of powers. The judicial branch approved the executive branch's request for a search warrant. Meanwhile, Congress is largely quiescent, it's UNIPARTY leadership gets the game afoot.
This is all about '24 and the threat of Napoleon to return from Elbe at the head of his Grande Armee awaiting his command. It's not going to be allowed. It's one thing to rail on and endorse candidates. (We've seen how that works with past endorsements of Mitch, Mitt and now Tim Scott.) It's another to make another run for the Presidency. His own attorney has recently advised him it would all go away if he declared he would not run in '24. The day he declares one can expect an indictment and perp walk to follow shortly.
In the meantime, remember to keep your powder dry. We've been told by "real conservative" pundits it's all a trap...the question is who's trapping who by standing down.

This is NOT a blunder. They don't make mistakes like this inadvertently. They know the stakes they know the risks. That's what makes this even more scary.

Actually, had Hitlery and Holder been indicted, arrest and put on trial, none of this would be happening. The Dems would have learned that the Rebublicans have a backbone

When Trump takes office in 2024, he needs to fire every govt employeed registered as a dem, and fire every upper level agency manager.
We need a heavy handed president, and armed citizens, to save the country.

Biden is a Pzzant. Biden has ALWAYS been a pizzant. That is a creature with way more self esteem than self.
Biden will die a pizzant.

Alright just STOP it already! Until a couple days ago nobody had ever heard of the Rubicon. Now it is in every other article and is being said by everyone. Is Rubicon the new "fun" thing to say? Is it like gravitas, collusion, and a hundred other words that got overused to the point of exhaustion over the years.
Why dont we try a little creativity, hmmm? How about "point of no return" or "fail safe point"?
