Oh absolutely. Dem voter apathy is a BIG problem. GOP and GQP voters DO turn up (As is their right. As they should) but there is this apathy among Dem voters (Especially younger voters). They simply don't turn up. And if you don't turn up then you have no voice. You have no right to complain

Edit: Fixed Typo from "turn us" to "turn up"

Handling this very very badly.

Threads of civil war and terrorism on social media.

I really can not see how the Don can have a political career after this and what else we may find out for the rest of the year. I will not dismiss however these marginalized GOP numbers/supporters that will always vote for the Don. those numbers cant be more than 10% by now.

Terrorism (again) and Civil War...... Over trump...... And the GQP. What a party. They must be so proud. Well, I suppose they DO have the Proud Boys.

I mean, there of course isn't going to be a civil war but trump and the GQP could kick off another riot. We know from recent history that they have form I can see there being scuffles, maybe major ones. POSSIBLY even riot on the scale of Jan 6. And the GQP will flip flop like Rudy Guilani is selling them on his website. (After which they will blame Anifa).

And you know what, if the FBI/DOJ back down due to threats of violence then that is the very DEFINITION of terrorism. Once again, even his... fans would have to agree. So the GQP would become the terrorist party. They know it which is why they are already trying to dilute the term "Terrorism".

It will be an interesting week to see what they do (Most likely nothing but gather around their golden lamb).

I wonder are the “ordinary” Republican voters getting tired of all of this but can’t be seen to be critical ? I’d imagine there would be a collective sigh of relief if Trump just went away and the Republicans could just reset and start again

This is the kind of sh1tty talking points his devotees are throwing out....

Where do you begin with nutjobs like these?

If they stormed the Capitol when he lost, there is no stopping them.

God only knows how they’ll react if he gets charged.

I dunno, they all seems to be screeching on social media atm.

He also might split the Republican Party.

Even better.

Yep, but there are real time examples*right now* of there being consequences for those who raised the capitol. That should deter most.

There are certainly those who won't care and try to do something about it, but thankfully most of them are painfully stupid and will be probably scooped up before they can do any real harm.

TheIrishGrover · 09-08-2022 11:02AM

I bet the FBI/DOJ are carefully monitoring their ~~football special~~... I mean Troth Truth Sential accounts.

*Cracks knuckles*

Yes - because no former president has done what he did...

In Fox's America, people can be above the law....

Some words from his cult followers...

Let's now divert attention away with the boogie women of the left...

And throw in some anti-clinton red meat for the base...

And of course, some Hunter Biden nonsense.

There you go. Predictable and pathetic in equal measure.

He won't split them, they are all rallying around him. He's in his element now, "mega-martyr" status.

Yep.

No president/former president has been as persecuted as him. Not even the ones who were, know, f*cking SHOT (Wait for his ... fans to construe that as a threat/suggestion).

As I said before, another opportunity to distance themselves that will be, not only ignored but will be used as an opportunity to idolise.embrace him and everything he stands for.

“What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.”

Already the narrative for the gobshite army is being spun. It's not an FBI raid, it's a "Democrat" raid. 🙄

Surprised the Republican party has not split all ready - the Trump side and the more restrained/electable Republicans - make a much better election.

Is it just coincidental that Alex Jones text message for the last two years have been forwarded on?

TheIrishGrover · 09-08-2022 11:53AM

Which means when his ... fans obstruct (Which they will) it will not be against the DOJ/FBI (They of course support Law and Order) but will be against the illegal dems blah-de-blah-de-blah.

This is a win-win for the GQP. If the Feds did nothing then Win. If they did something (ANYTHING) then it is a plot. So, Win. For the GQP, this is even better than a school shooting because they don't even have to send their "thoughts and prayers"

Probably.. It's a bit too soon for this to be a reaction to something found there.

They've been planning this for quite a while. Something this politically significant doesn't just happen overnight.

Having said that, I'd suspect that between the Jones Texts and now this there are an awful lot of very very worried people out there today.

They can't split. That would hand the WH to the Dems for the next 20 years.#

The Republicans have made their bed and now they must lie in it. They thought that they could just use Trump as a means to garner more support from his idiot parade. But they've been complicit in making a monster.

Which is why I keep harping on about them missing the opportunity to distance themselves NOW. Take the hit now when the world is in crap and then come cack in 6 years as knights in shining armour to dig the US out of the crap. That may be simplistic (I am a simple person 😀) but, if they were EVER going to attempt to diverge GOP from GQP then I would have thought now would have been the time. Anyway, I've harped on about that enough.

George Conway on CNN said there's more here than meets the eye. I totally agree, this is an enormous step and escalation, raiding the home of a former POTUS. Now, putting on my tinfoil conspiracy beanie, the texts they got from Jones' phone - well, they (the big bad DOJ/NSA/.. bunch) probably already had, but now they've got cover for getting a warrant based on the official (via the laughably inept Jones attorneys) leak of the texts. That is, they (big bad DOJ) had the warrant drawn up and were just waiting for a way to use info they had.

Beanie removed now. Probably this really is about the documents and TFG's amazing arrogance and sloppiness. Refusing to simply return the documents was blindingly stupid and arrogant, but hey, it's the TFG. Had he just shut up and returned them, today wouldn't have happened.

Tony EH · 09-08-2022 12:27PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119449063#Comment_119449063

Perhaps. But I think it's just too late now. The time to distance themselves was just after Jan 6th and they blew it.

However, the Republican Party have been sick for a long time. They've been the party of Bush and illegal oil wars and now they're the party of Trump and all of the nonsense that that carries. There's been a malaise amongst them for years because all they're interested in is power at any and all cost. That's not to say that the Democrats are much better in many respects. Neither would be my cup of tea, as it were. But the GOP in its current form need to be gutted completely and revamped into something resembling a pre-Reagan shape.

Alas, American politics as it is, it's impossible to see that happening for the foreseeable future.

It can't just be about refusing to return any old documents though , there has to be a reason he has held on to some of them.

They wouldn't have raided his house for random stuff.. They know what documents he has or at least they know the topics that they cover.

The only possible reason he'd still hold on to them is because they are damaging to him.

What way they are damaging to him remains to be seen - There are so many possible issues.

Big Lie/January 6th?
The Zelensky phone call?
The meetings with Putin and Lavrov?
