Trump: It's Time to Start Talking About Making America Great Again
Hours after his Mar-a-Lago home was raided by the FBI, former President Donald Trump posted a campaign-style ad on social media calling America "a nation in decline," but vowing it will become great again.

The nearly 4-minute video was posted on his Truth Social platform.

"We are a nation in decline," he said. "We are a failing nation.

"We are a nation that has the highest inflation in over 40 years, where the stock market just finished the worst first half of a year in more than five decades. We are a nation that has the highest energy costs in its history. We are no longer energy independent or energy dominant, which we were just two short years ago.

"We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil. We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan — leaving behind dead soldiers and American citizens and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world.

"We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and it will only get worse.

"We are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party — like never before have we seen anything like this.

"We are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is about all you get. We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, where crime is rampant like never before, where the economy has been collapsing, where more people died of COVID in 2021 than in 2020.

"We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions of trillions of dollars its taken from the United States to build a military to rival our own.

"We are a nation that over the past two years is no longer respected or listened to all around the world.

"We are a nation that is hostile to liberty, and freedom and faith. We are a nation whose economy is floundering, whose stores are not stocked, whose deliveries are not coming, and whose educational system is ranked at the bottom of every list.

"We are a nation that in many ways has become joke.

"But soon we will have greatness again. It was hard-working patriots like you who built this country. And it is hard-working patriots like you who are going to save our country.

"There's no mountain we cannot climb. There is no summit we cannot reach. There is no challenge we cannot meet. There is no victory we cannot have. We will not bend. We will not break. We will not yield — ever, ever, ever.

"We will never give in. We will never give up. And we will never, ever back down. We will never let you down. As long as we are confident and united, the tyrants we are fighting do not stand even a little chance.

"Because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and God alone. And it is time to start talking about greatness for our country again."

The video ends with the words: "…the best is yet to come" emblazoned across the screen.

The video was posted after FBI agents raided Trump's home in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday, seizing documents from Mar-a-Lago.
He needs to stop using that "thinking" part. It tips the viewer that this is fake news.

✅ - Merrick Garland personally signed off on this AND FBI investigating Trump
✅ - FBI found evidence a crime was likely committed
✅ - Federal judge reviewed evidence and agreed there was probable cause to suspect a crime had been committed and signed off on a warrant of a former president.
This is DAMNING when you have the AG and a federal judge agreeing there was evidence enough of a crime that is also significant enough to warrant an unannounced search of a former president.
They've got overwhelming evidence of Trump's guilt by now and they're just stacking the deck.


found this on Reddit, there is a megathread about this there.....

Somebody ought to wipe the foam from McCarthy's mouth


Dang,

The documents taken from Trump's safe have only now reached their secure location in the DOJ's evidence room. The ink is barely dry on the warrant that authorized the raid. How could he possibly know the facts behind this search? It is true that Republicans have no use for facts when jumping to a conclusion, but dang, he could at least have paused for a moment so he could have pretended to know what justified it.

Given the pace and secrecy behind Garland's DOJ's investigation, their discipline is impressive. We can be certain that they followed due process, including retention of the documents used to justify the search. Of course the DOJ was aware there will be a congressional investigation. Not only that, but after four years plus an attempted coup by Trump, DC has become comfortable with weaponized politicization. McCarthy's statement wasn't the threat he intended, it was a reminder of what it's like to live under Republican rule.
I sooooo want to see him in involuntary orange.

Weaponizing the DOJ against your political opponents seems.... political.

Not good for the Dems.
I'm thinking of how Trump weaponized DHS against the good people of Portland in dubiously legal circumstances.

Sending agents to retrieve top secret documents in the hands of an agent for Putin in a well coordinated, legally authorized operation seems tame compared to that.

This could be the one thing that stops him for good
He stole top secret documents and then lied about returning them
View attachment 5177859
It's a simple case, if he has them he's guilty, just like if he had a pound of pot or coke. :lol:

However this also concerns classified documents and that moves things to a whole new level with plenty of precedent for harsh sentences over minor offenses and these were far from minor offenses.
