Imagine if President Trump sent the FBI to raid Obama's house? People would have called him a dicta--- oh, wait, they called him that.

Anyone want to remind me what he did to be considered a dictator? Was it any of these things that he did...

Lowering taxes? Cutting regulations? Ending wars, bringing troops home? Getting our soldiers remains back from North Korea?

Lowering funding to NATO, the UN, the WHO? Opportunity zone programs for impoverished neighborhoods? Giving low-level, non-violent inmates a second chance?

Protecting our borders and lowering illegal immigration? Having the lowest unemployment rate among minorities, like... ever?

Bringing back some manufacturing? Evening out lopsided trade tariffs? Record highs in the stock market? Getting big pharma to match low prices abroad? Energy independence? Peace deals in the Mid-East?

Donating his salary to different organizations?

Now, I know some of you folks suffering from TDS will say I'm a Trumpanzee or any other pejorative... but before you do, please list the things Trump did to be considered a dictator.

To me personally the biggest was...

Making the US energy independent for the 1st time in close to 70 years! Yuuuge.

Look at us now. A laughingstock military after the Afghanistan surrender debacle and the brass pushing CRT and gender reassignment, a Ukrainian slush fund...again, begging for oil from the Haus of Saud while giving Iran nuclear weapons, the entire EU is going to go cold with their Green New Deals and Putin built his pipeline making them dependent on him. Sending troops and more drone strikes into Syria and Sudan, doing the God awful Covid19 lockdowns and mandates...but Trump was bad. It makes you want to walk around with a 2x4 like in Walking Tall but have a brand on it that spells out "TDS" so everyone else will know to give wide berth to the special idiot walking towards them. Everything they've ever accused Trump of doing, the DNC is complicit and doing right in their faces...but Trump. Here's to him running again and having a great campaign because if ANYONE says 81 million people voted for Pedo Joe...you already know what you're dealing with. Why would anyone put up chainlink fencing and bring in the National Guard? There was NOBODY there for his inaugural parade. They were worried people would catch on early...but they didn't. Most of the Lefties in here still spout on about Trump...and can't tell you jack $hit good that Biden has done for America...not for him...not for his friends...America.

Federal Official Had “Blessing of Biden” in Authorizing FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago


Jon Solomon’s Just the News recently obtained a letter between National Archivist Debra Stiedel Wall and Trump’s legal team showing Biden’s tacit support for the FBI’s investigation into Trump.

The documents in question had been examined by and temporarily in possession of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as early as January of 2022, when they “arranged for the transport from the Trump Mar-a-Lago property in Florida to the National Archives of 15 boxes that contained Presidential records, following discussions with President Trump’s representatives in 2021,” according to NBC News.

Then in April, presumably after returning these materials back into Trump’s possession, Wall writes Trump’s defense attorney Evan Corcoran, “In its initial review of materials within those boxes, NARA identified items marked as classified national security information.” Wall then informs Corcoran that the FBI would like access to the documents. Given the supposed sensitivity of the documents, it seems strange that NARA returned them to Trump before completing their review. Cocoran requested time to determine whether Trump intended to exercise executive privilege on specified materials.

"We have requested the ability to review the documents," Corcoran wrote to both NARA and White House Deputy Counsel on April 29. “We would respectfully request that you restrict access to the documents until we have had the opportunity to review the documents and to consult with President Donald J. Trump so that he may personally make any decision to assert a claim of constitutionally based privilege.”

According to Just the News, “Wall informed Corcoran that she had the blessing of Biden to overrule those privilege claims and share all materials requested by the DOJ and FBI.”

From the letter: "The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President's purported 'protective assertion of executive privilege,'" Wall wrote. "... I have therefore decided not to honor the former President's 'protective' claim of privilege."

Here’s WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a day after the raid:

(Cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm Theme)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dejTs_NX2Yg


Wall’s claim that Biden deferred to her judgment is odd considering that, on the same day, Wall herself was contacted by White House Counsel member Dana Remus stating that “The President has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified.” That letter is available thanks to a FOIA request (not sure who filed it but luckily Google has yet to scrub it from the top search results):

Why Wall told Trump’s team that it was her decision is a mystery. Could this be related to Dana Remus’s departure from the WH Counsel Office just one month later? Did Remus f*** up by revealing it was Biden’s decision?

Shortly after Wall’s letter was sent, the DOJ issued a subpoena prompting the FBI to visit Mar-a-Lago on June 3 who granted access voluntarily by Trump. The FBI seized a portion of the materials and instructed Trump to lock the remaining boxes in a storage room, an order Trump complied with according to a Fox News source.

A quick reminder that when Hillary Clinton was subpoenaed to produce the contents of her private email server, her response was far from compliant. She denied ever receiving a subpoena, told the FBI she could not locate any of the requested 13 mobile devices, deleted 33,000 emails from her personal server, and joked about all of this publicly! Somehow this behavior did not result in a search warrant and raid of her summer home in Chappaqua, NY.

Can you if Trump had burned the documents after learning of the subpoena and claiming to have ‘misplaced’ them?

Merrick Garland is a DNC partisan hack that was NEVER fit for the SCOTUS and he's bitter bull seeing red for not getting his "Precious". This administration can leak everything to the NY Slimes but won't show anything to Americans? That's not going to last long...at all!

well, he did try to stay in power despite losing the election...do I need to come up wif worse than ignoring an election result, or is that enough like a dictator by definition?

Shawn, I love ya, you know that. But even if the most perfect person in the world lost the election but tried to flip Democracy on its head to stay in office, the bigger picture is that there is no such thing as a Benevolent Dictator...he/she is a dictator and we can't allow for that.

It's not about how many good things or how many bad things while in office, it's about the voice of the people being bigger than any individual.

I need more than you can't believe 81 million voted for Biden as actual evidence. I know you understand.
They've come up with absolute zero. It's (well past) time to move on and admit he really tried to seize power.
Great POTUS or horrible POTUS is not the question. When the loser tries to hold on to power, that just might be a dictator kind of guy.

Biden White House Directly Facilitated FBI Mar-A-Lago Raid



While Biden administration officials have repeatedly denied prior knowledge of the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago, journalist John Solomon reveals that the White House was at the 'ignition point' of the investigation - working directly with the Department of Justice and National Archives to facilitate the grand jury panel which led to the Aug. 8 raid.

According to Just the News, the coordinated effort allowed the FBI "to review evidence retrieved from Mar-a-Lago this spring and eliminat[e] the 45th president's claims to executive privilege, according to contemporaneous government documents reviewed by Just the News."


The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump's Florida home.

By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor's claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency. -JTN

The effort was summarized across several memos and emails exchanged throughout various agencies in spring 2022, with the most complete account contained in a lengthy May 10 letter from acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall to former President Trump's lawyers.

"On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel's Office — affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum — formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes," she wrote, revealing that Biden had empowered the National Archives to waive any potential executive privilege claims.

"The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President's purported 'protective assertion of executive privilege," the letter continues. "... I have therefore decided not to honor the former President's 'protective' claim of privilege."

Ya know...you almost would've expected this kinda stunt from the Nixon administration. This is some real dictator kind of crap though. The shrinkage Frankie must have now knowing his idol forsake him. Lefty doesn't care though...but Trump is all they got. Running on empty is what they're doing and Trump is playing them better than the Road Runner ever played the Coyote.

trying to submit false state electors?
Pushing Rudy/Sydney total fabrications that he already knew were garbage?
Pressuring election officials to find votes?
Spreading made up nonsense to create conspiracy theories he already knew were false?
Pursuing the nonsense that his VP could do what he told him to do, also already knowing it was crap...then publicly trying to destroy that VP and all the others who wouldn't go against their oaths and had courage.
And more.

Yes, he could have and should have used any legal means to challenge, but there has to be at least a base of credible evidence. He and his followers just made it up on the fly. Wasn't the humiliating experience of more than 60 cases in court some indicator to you?

So who does this? To me it's someone scheming to cling to power...also known as a dictator.

I just read the affidavit.

Totally redacted, so there is litterally nothing informative in there, other than the fact that the DOJ knew about the presence of these items for MONTHS and simply asked them to be better secured "until further notice"... Still think there were nuclear codes in there? Yeah, no.

Hey, Ron Popiel, then it certainly begs the quesiton as to why subpoenas and court orders were not used to obtain the documents... I mean, other than the fact that they are not sensational TV and disparaging to DJT in a news cycle or ten just before elections.

They knew about these potential docs in January/February. They even asked for an additional lock on the door of the room where they were stored. There was already a dialogue between parties that included the transfer of some of the files. What was the strikingly urgent need to recover any remaining docs ASAP? So urgent, in fact, that the DOJ waited months to get a warrant and the FBI sat on the warrant for three additional days after it was signed by the judge.

At this point, if you cant sit back and look at the last 7 years or so and see the pattern, it's almost willful ignorance.

the DNC and the establishment have litterally done everything they can short of an assasination attempt to discredit/get rid of DJT. I think the only reason they don't want to try that one is that they think it will turn him into a martyr.

He could have avoided all of this by not taking items from the Whitehouse that at least one of his lawyers and multiple others told him he could not take. He failed to timely return those items when asked. He is an impossible obstructionist in matters like this. I guess everyone should have just waited longer for poor, little Donald to follow the rules. Enough was enough.

anyhoo, there was a subpoena in the Spring. Up til now, the compliance Trump claims, and his supporters are making the mistake of believing, was like pulling teeth...something like half the stuff over several months?
Then the time spent going through everything, restoring their order, documenting what could not be accounted for...historically typical Trump tactics that have delayed problems for many decades.

I mean, there's always the chance that he was arguing that he had a legitimate claim to the stuff... I mean, they took his passport. Was that a national secret that had to be protected? Clearly the oval office was packed up and moved in a hasty fashion (his passports were in the damn boxes), but there were easy ways to compell compliance with the subpoena. Why didn't the judge order daily damages to begin acruing until the items were returned? Why didn't the team that went there in February take all the stuff that was so highly sensitive?

So many "whys" and all we got were 30-40 pages of redacted black ink...
