It's been an exhausting week.
Way back at the beginning there was Sarah Palin laying out her priorities when elected. She wants to reopen the investigation into Hillary’s emails, Benghazi, and “Congress should be having these huge, badass rallies on the steps of the Capitol ..they should be having fireside chats. "
Most exciting was the RAID, err ... search warrant ... executed at Trump's residence in Florida. I take it he now wants the FBI to return all of the documents that he declassified and they then planted; it's confusing.
The first of Trump's casualties this week, armed with a nail gun and AR-15 , tries to storm an FBI office and shuts down the Interstate in Ohio before being killed. “Well, I thought I had a way through bullet proof glass, and I didn’t. If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I., and it’ll mean either I was taken off the internet, the F.B.I. got me, or they sent the regular cops.”
Then: Shame on you. Your God becomes unpopular when you believe this is right and in his name:
“From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.”
? Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses
Meanwhile Biden racks up some of victories ... I don't understand why all the hate from some quarters. He is getting things done even while falling off bicycles and standing around waiting for someone to shake his hand.
Finally, baring any last minute developments, probably another victim of Trump crashes his car into a Capitol barricade and blows his vestigial brain out.
may you live in interesting times ...

It's extremely difficult to keep up with the latest from the Lago Raid, but I try.
T complains they were not allowed to watch the Raid ('Ransacking' per one site,) thereby allowing the FBI to plant evidence.
His lawyer says they watched via cctv.
Apparently T declassified all documents with a wave of his hand.
Obama is keeping thousands of papers; National Archives nay says.
Search Warrant
Trump's side has been insisting that Justice should be the ones to release the warrant. When it looked like Justice would actually do that, possibly with an order to black out names of FBI agents, Trump dropped unredacted copies to the WSJ and Breitbart. WSJ blanked the names, of course Breitbart didn't.
Passports
Team Trump received Justice Department email, arranging a return of passports swept up during the search, which a Filter Team deemed privileged or not germaine. T followed up by posting a TRUTH (his site's version of a Tweet) about a half-hour later, complaining about the FBI stealing his passports.
now about that Affidavit ...

Batshit piling up:
The redacted affidavit didn't do a thing.
FPOTUS now demands Special Master to review files in addition to a redo of the 2020 election.
Lindsey Graham warns of blood in the streets.
Bombshell news: Unbelievable!
Jim Jordan notices FBI came up with a box containing Time Magazine covers ! No mention of other random papers presumably removed from the box.
this is for real?

As I recall it was during the dog days of summer, no news, fox was desperate for something to get Obama.
Until they pointed it out I didn't realize that giving a serious news conference in a casual tan suit is totally inappropriate!

Scary social media for sure ... too many posters insist Trump can declassify documents just by waving his hands and the image of the loot was staged. Of course it was staged, just not the weird way they're thinking.
