I have gained much respect for Merrick Garland. He's been quietly building his case. He put his career on the line with this unprecedented search warrant. I thought he had to grow a pair, looks like if he did there would be no room in his pants,

Facebooked turned over her DM's.

She aborted the fetus at 22 weeks and then she and her mother burned and scattered its remains.


Article says 28 weeks. I’ve also seen 23 weeks and 24 weeks elsewhere. Not sure which is correct.


Facebook turned over her DMs... The piece that really sticks out
Her DMs given to the police
This is really really creepy
"Private," Facebook messages

Time to turnover some politicians Private Facebook messages

If MFer don't want child and the state forced it he/she could easily grow up with serious abuse issues to face due to poverty and abandonment issues
My parents were good people (divorced) who drank too much alcohol every night and I would have to call bars at 830+ and ask if my Mother was there and I was only around 8 or 9 iirc. Trust in authority and feeling loved,?? Nope! Trust I was even wanted as a child not really. Can only imagine how that young female or male feels in their new foster care sex abuse factory

Let God punish the rule breakers not the broken failed humans

This was before the SCOTUS decision and abortion was still legal before 28 weeks in half the states (though not Nebraska). The point is -- this is the lengths to which Red States are willing to go to track down and punish women and girls. And Facebook is happy to help them.

And puts to the lie that criminalizing abortion is "only about going after providers."

(‘Trump Committed Crimes’: Michael Cohen Rips Into ‘Narcissistic Sociopath’ As Feds Storm Mar-A-Lago)

Quote:
Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, reacts to federal agents searching Trump’s Florida property. Cohen calls the unprecedented raid a “karma boomerang” and dishes on what could be in the safe Trump says agents broke open. Cohen tells MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Trump “truly believes he’s above the law” and thinks “the end is near” for Trump.

Counterintelligence and Export Control Section

The Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) supervises the investigation and prosecution of cases affecting national security, foreign relations, and the export of military and strategic commodities and technology. The Section has executive responsibility for authorizing the prosecution of cases under criminal statutes relating to espionage, sabotage, neutrality, and atomic energy. It provides legal advice to U.S. Attorney's Offices and investigative agencies on all matters within its area of responsibility, which includes 88 federal statutes affecting national security. It also coordinates criminal cases involving the application of the Classified Information Procedures Act. In addition, the Section administers and enforces the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 and related disclosure statutes.

Related Topics:

FBI agents from the CES seem to be leading the investigation according to reporting.

A few of their Senators may also be less chap-assed when they haven't just been through 15 hours of a vote-a-rama.

The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder

(Unhinged Conservative Pundit Declares War On FBI Over Trump Raid)

Quote:
Steven Crowder swears to only vote for candidates that promise to defund intelligence agencies after the FBI raids Donald Trump’s home in Mar-A-Lago. The Majority Report crew discuss how Crowder seems to be a bit shaken up and how he had Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani on his show to talk about his first-hand experience with a raid. The MR crew also talks about how the Left has always been targeted by the FBI from the civil rights movement, the black panthers, anti-war protests, indigenous people, and Black Lives Matter.

Not that it will matter to his base. The same people wanting Biden investigated by Trump's DOJ during the last election are now calling investigating your potential opponent tyranny. As we have learned at length, neither the purported issue nor the facts have any bearing on what they think.


And since T inconveniently chose Wray, he'll just not even bring that part up and continue to gaslight everyone that it was Dem-lead.

I just want him to pay at some point -- whether that's losing significant income, dying a gruesome death, not being able to run for office again, whatever. I've come to accept he will never spend a day in jail. But maybe they can make him suffer via having the law (criminal and civil) at least hanging over his head for the rest of his life so he never knows a moment of peace. Amen.

For example. Yesterday's "raid" in and of itself is a punishment of Trump.

1) He wasn't there and couldn't control anything and he's a control freak. He's also a germophobe so he would be upset that strangers were going through his things.


Reminds me of the FBI raid on Howard Hughes' mansion in The Aviator (2004). Howard was a germophobe w/ OCD and a control freak, etc.

However, Howard wasn't so legendarily narcissistic that his warped personality spared him from becoming a hermit in his room surrounded by bottles of his own urine. Trump's brain is so bizarre that I wonder if he experiences stress like 99.9% of the rest of us do. Fact that he can even continue to go out in public and continue his standard inventory of deflections, lies, cons, etc, makes me think he's largely impervious to anxiety and stress as it might affect you or me. Another example, even though Donald Sterling was old and feeble, the longer that his Magic and "V" scandal continued, the more discombobulated he sounded while trying to lash out at his accusers and Magic. By the end of it, it made the TV heads and Magic himself appear hesitant in continuing on with the back and forth because Sterling suddenly sounded like he was suffering a high degree of senility. I was convinced that the other dirty Don went bye-bye after that and being forced to sell his stake in the Clips. He was never seen nor heard from again and, today, probably doesn't have any faculties left.

Report: Jared Kushner’s $2 Billion Saudi Check Appears Even More Comically Corrupt Than Previously Thought
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/05/jared-kushner-affinity-partners-saudi-arabia
Quote:
Back in April, The New York Times reported that Jared Kushner’s four years of Saudi ass-kissing and murder-excusing had paid off in the form of a $2 billion investment from the kingdom‘s sovereign wealth fund to his newly formed private equity firm. That struck a lot of people—ethics officials among them—as pretty shady given that far from having impressed would-be clients with his investing prowess, the panel that performs due diligence for the Saudi fund concluded that no one in their right mind would give the former first son-in-law a dime. Among other concerns, the panel noted that management was “inexperience[d],” that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk,” that its fee seemed “excessive,” and that the firm’s operations were “unsatisfactory in all aspects.” Given those reservations, it warned that the country’s Public Investment Fund should stay far, far away from Kushner’s firm—a recommendation that was overturned by the fund’s board, which happens to be led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,

I agree he appears to handle stress differently than the rest of us. I think it's partly because he doesn't appear to experience shame (except on some subconscious level) and he has a lot of money and yes-people around him to cater to his every need/demand. But here are some obvious indicators of stress and anxiety:

1) He snorts adderall habitually (used to do cocaine)
2) He won't be seen in public without a huge cover-up suit, an inch of orange pancake make-up, elaborate wig covering his bald head (the only exception is when he plays golf). He has fear/anxiety of people seeing the "real" him.
3) His continual rage and lashing out (throwing plates and ketchup at the wall of the executive dining room, multiple sexual assaults, raping his first wife).
4) Compulsive stealing.
5) The need to always blame others for his own shortcomings.
6) His obvious ADD is also about managing his anxiety.

He's a sociopath and malignant narcissist so he is definitely not normal. He has no conscience so has an his ability to lie constantly (also a stress relief for him).

Putting him under oath is excruciating for him because he has to be still (ADD), not lie (lol), focus on truth/facts (difficult for a habitual liar), forces him to admit facts that hurt his narrative about himself (I'm a successful businessman except oops, I have to cheat and grift to do it).

NY-AG takes his deposition today. My bet is tonight he will be eating lots of cheeseburgers, fried chicken and ice cream with a side order of adderall.

(Fox boss privately levels harsh criticism against Trump, sources say)

Quote:
Fox News largely refrains from criticizing Donald Trump. But, in private, Lachlan Murdoch has denounced some of the former President's behavior in harsh terms. In private this year, the Fox Corp. chief executive has freely criticized Trump, saying that he disagrees with much of the way the former President behaves, according to a source.

The new talking point from Trump world and the right-wing media:

The FBI planted evidence.

This is a huge tell. This confirms that whatever the FBI found, it's really bad. Why else would you need to preemptively claim incriminating "evidence" was planted?

It would be funny if it wasn't so criminal -- and dangerous. They are whipping up the Trumpsters to take violent action, just like 1/6.
