Any thoughts on what the republican platform might be in 2024?

[trouble13]

Your mistake was not becoming a trump advisor.

That would be his mistake not mine. I have no desire to be a target of the deep state but if the Donald asked, how could I possibly turn him down.

The way things are going in the country with trump and his supporters at odds with the world, what do you suppose the gop might run on in 2024?

Will they be able to sell the same old stuff? Taxes, god, guns and abortion? Is that enough to satisfy millions. Will trump's legal problems be a dark cloud over the whole party?

Anger and Grievance.

How could you turn him down? Try asking some of the folks who USED to work for him, say starting with rex tillerson.

Accountable for what? Serving a legal search warrant? You folks who believe that are living in some other universe. Remember now the head of the fbi was appointed by trump.

Accountable for their actions.

Where, what city has defunded their police department?

How can you not know this and be a member of a political discussion forum?

These US cities defunded police: 'We're transferring money to the community'

More than 20 major cities have reduced police budgets in some form, and activists are fighting to ensure that is only the start

What Cities Have Defunded Police? | American Police Officers Alliance

Law Enforcement has become a target in 2020. Here are some of the major cities whose governments voted to “Defund the Police.”

You still on the russia,russia,russia thing?
Thats been debunked two ways to Sunday.

We're going to stop doing that once we've done it as long as you guys screeched about Benghazi.

 

[HWGA]

I mean things have cooled down since some knucklehead southerners killed a black kid for having the audacity to run through the white folks neighborhood and the police have slowed down on their senseless murders of black folks.

And what exactly does that have to do with the political violence that plagued our cities for 9 months straight?
Do you remember the phrase "we need to give them room to destroy"?
I'm gonna say no.

Accountable for their actions.

Are you listening to yourself? Their actions were coordinated with the secret service and two of trump's lawyers who were there. When did serving a legal search warrant become an unlawful act?

You guys are really going off the deep end when legal warrants piss you off.

I responded to a post of yours, you read my response and then wrote you don't understand my response? Read it again, maybe you'll get it next time?

America First.

Because who needs a platform when a slogan will do?

You’re right they will run on that because it plays well and then they’ll never really have to deliver anything concrete. They can make everyone feel good while stripping their rights away and robbing them blind. Worked last time.

I can see I wasted good humor on you.

If the FBI has nothing to hide they should stop stonewalling the press

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

If the FBI has nothing to hide they should stop stonewalling the press.

The FBI does not, as a rule, comment to the press about ongoing investigations - for very obvious reasons.

The fact that you feel very strongly about this situation is not exactly a reason for them to break policy.

It's a good question. 2 years is a lot of time for Trump World to flip flop through a long list of grievances.

My gut tells me that their position will evolve from the usual same-old to outright agitation for conflict against a specific, named enemy. What I'm not sure about is who will be designated as the Enemy. Will it be some domestic group such as the Democrats or homosexuals, or will it be an external target for their anger and hate... perhaps Iran? I don't know.

I think it'll depend on how violent they become during the 2022 election.

What? How about this idea, if trump has nothing to hide, release the search warrant info. The doj is doing their job, trump is pulling the wool over his supporters eyes. Keep blaming the doj for doing their job is senseless. What do you guys not get that it was a legal search warrant?

Now you're just throwing shit on the wall.
I understood your response just fine,you threw out an unrelated incident that has nothing to do with the topic we were discussing.
Also known as deflection.
Try again.

Is the topic the republican platform for 2024?

That shell game's shelf life has expired. Using the tired and overplayed canard that this is all S.O.P. is not going to excuse the stonewalling. Conservatives will and should set the entire country on fire until we see transparency and accountability.

This is it, right here. Trump should be treated special.

How do you know it was a legally obtained warrant?

It has a Judge's siganture on the bottom.

He is being treated special which is the outrageous part. The just-us system is on full display and has been for years.

Burn it all down

That's disgusting. And hilarious. Your victimhood is undeniable, however. I mean, this is unprecedented. The entire left is complicit in something that was done entirely by Republicans and the Biden administration had no advance knowledge as far as I know (and I totally don't care)? But the GOP - who tried to murder the VP to get Trump more time in office - they need to demand....

what has turned out to ever be true? Hillary didn't destroy evidence at any time and was cleared on all charges for the e-mails
Benghazi was far more scrutanizd than 1/6 and I guarantee you don't remember the name of anyone involved or how many people died or what the possible crime could have been (there wasn't one, right? crazy)
The IRS was not weaponized by Obama as we eventually were told n the end. To this day, we have two accounts of the story, one is "republicans were targeted in general," and the other was "any claim that somebody was targeted was verifiably false." There is no evidence to prove anyone was targeted

Accountability for what

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

He's being treated exactly the same (or better) as everyone else who has ever been served with a search warrant.

That does not mean it was legally obtained. We have seen this movie before.

Get out the matches and soak it all down in good ole fossil fuels. Let's have us a bonfire.
