"I don't know why conservatives are worried. They have nothing to worry about if they aren't breaking the law or making more then $600 driving an Uber or defining the word 'woman' or flying a gadsen flag or raising children or trying to buy food for their family"

Lastly, you'd think a news editor in St. Louis, MO would understand that innocent people can run afoul of the government.

No wonder American trust in the media has declined so much on a bipartisan level. Oh look, someone at the IRS leaked information on American billionaires. Oh look, the EPA released a lot of confidential data on farmers. But trust them all.

And , a news editor, seems clueless about all those things enough to trust that the IRS won't act inappropriately. Good grief. I remember when American newsmen held the government accountable and questioned the government instead of being apologists for them.

We literally went through the Lois Lerner situation. Right now, the FDA is harassing liquor distillers retroactively for having the audacity to make hand sanitizer for doctors during COVID. That doesn't even include police issues.

With metronomic regularity, she leaves us early one day every three months, drives almost two hours, gives lots of blood for tests, has a CT scan, and waits on the doctor for judgment. Then she drives home in time to get the kids from school and hug them.

Imagine, after all the innocent people harmed by the government from police to others in the past few years, tweeting this. Seriously, this is not a good response. Also, the essence of a principled conservative is skepticism of government.
Quote Tweet
Imagine the horrors of a nation of laws and not of men.
It’s truly incredible how some “principled conservatives” have lost their way to the point where they make statements like this without irony. If you didn’t break the law, you shouldn’t fear either of these scenarios. twitter.com/ewerickson/sta…

It is possible to think the FBI raid is a bad precedent that could probably have been handled differently and also think this is not the end of the republic. Post-modern emoting over every little bit of bullshit really does get tiring.

People need to actually get off Twitter, find friends who are not political, and seek the welfare of their actual communities where they have to know people who see the world differently, instead of bitching all day on Twitter and accomplishing little in their community.

The extent to which someone on the right is an online creature and not in the real world is a good benchmark for determining if they think this is the "end of the republic." It's the right's version of "the GOP is a threat to democracy," a claim by online lefties.

Respectfully if you identify as a Christian your authority is the Word of God not the opinion of a friend who shares your faith. This ad conveys empathy but it also conveys baseless compromise. If your holy scripture sanctions abortion as it does love/justice/charity explain how

In college, a friend who shared my faith challenged me to think and changed my perspective on abortion.
Abortion care is health care. As a person of faith and as the next governor, it’s my responsibility to protect a woman’s right to choose.

So it's not about January 6th. If there were classified documents at Mar-a-Lago that the National Archives demands back, federal law is pretty clear. Also, sorry progressives, but this was not about January 6th.

The FBI raid was related to classified materials that Trump brought to Mar-A-Lago.
We’ve known since February that the FBI has been looking into this matter.

Lastly, given how many news stories about Trump get advanced with a decidedly left-wing agenda, I'll be cautious about relying on reporting from major news outlets. They tend to miss or get wrong key points in initial reporting about Trump and have for a while. See e.g., Russia.

Had Trump made it really clear he was never going to seek elected office again, returned money, and gone silent, this would not happen. But because he may run again and probably will now, this happened, which suggests it probably should have been handled more discreetly.

No former President has ever had the FBI raid his home. Prosecuting former presidents tends to be what despots do. I concede, however, that no president ever left office like Donald Trump. Concurrently, I fall back on my previous position…

I'm struggling to form an opinion about what happened. I'd like to know why the FBI raided. But I do think given the general distrust of the FBI, raiding the former President's home all but assures they'll be in line for defunding right behind the IRS.

Don’t think political environment is all that complicated to read — the mood is still sour, and that bodes badly for the party in power. Gen ballot still bad for Ds (tied).
But Rs have nominated bad candidates in key Senate and GOV races.

The local Florida reporter that broke the story that Mar-a-Lago was searched by the FBI.
Quote Tweet
Scoop — The Federal Bureau of Investigation @FBI today executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, two sources confirm to @Fla_Pol.
"They just left," one source said.
Not sure what the search warrant was about.
TBH, Im not a strong enough reporter to hunt this down, but its real.
