The democRATS got until November to block his nomination. After that, the GOP will take the House and the impeachement of Biden will begin.
I want Ron DeSantis to be the GOP nominee.
Impeachment doesn't mean much anymore.
Also, I think Trump will avoid prison.
He won't be re-elected, if he even runs again. No more old fucks in office, please.

The President makes the rules when it comes to classification and declassification

The President, after all, is the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." U. S. Const., Art. II, § 2. His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant. See Cafeteria Workers v. McElroy, 367 U. S. 886, 890 (1961). This Court has recognized the Government's "compelling interest" in withholding national security information from unauthorized persons in the course of executive business. Snepp v. United States, 444 U. S. 507, 509, n. 3 (1980). See also United States v. Robel, 389 U. S. 258, 267 (1967); United States v. Reynolds, 345 U. S. 1, 10 (1953); Totten v. United States, 92 U. S. 105, 106 (1876). The authority to protect such information falls on the President as head of the Executive Branch and as Commander in Chief.
If anything, this has improved Trumps chances of being elected again. Mark my words, when Trump is elected to a third term, his most rabid opponents will try to invoke the 22nd Amendment.

I don't believe there will be an American civil system left for that to happen. This is just carry over from the 1st civil war. Tit for tat just escalates and leftists are quick to seize all authority and cancel their opponents by prison or firing squad...

The recent raid by the FBI on former President Donald Trump's residence has solidified Trump's hold on the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, according to conservatives and analysts.
The raid of Mar-a-Lago, Trump's house in Palm Beach, Florida, was aimed at preventing the former president from gaining office again, they told The Epoch Times.
If anything, however, the raid has had the opposite effect, they said, as the belief grows that Trump will announce a new presidential run sooner rather than later.
Far from providing a smoking gun that opponents of Trump may have sought to bar the former president from office, the raid has demonstrated that Trump can never be reconciled to partisan special interests in Washington that have a lock on government, thus ensuring that Trump most certainly will run, said some.
In the end, either Trump or the "deep state"—a group of powerful bureaucrats who Trump and others say really control the shots in Washington—will prevail: That's the message conservatives should take from the raid, said two people interviewed who are the most familiar with Trump's thinking, Ken Blackwell and Sebastian Gorka, although neither men claimed to represent the views of the former president.
Democrats have no intention of jailing Trump because they know massive riots will be the result of it. All they're doing is keeping Trump front and center in the media hoping that everyone forgets about how bad Joe Biden is fucking things up.

They don't want him running again. But, that is dumb because it pretty much guarantees Ron DeSantis is the nominee. He has a better chance of winning an election against any democRAT.

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) has issued a warning to conservative Americans about "falling for the trap" if they choose to protest against former President Donald Trump's latest indictment.
Higgins, a member of the Homeland Security Committee, warned Trump supporters that the Department of Justice would like to have "J6 again," a reference to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"My fellow conservatives, the DOJ/FBI doesn't expect to imprison Trump, they expect to imprison you. They want J6 again, in Miami and in your city and in mine. They want MAGA conservatives to react to this perimeter probe and in doing so, set yourselves up for targeted persecution and further entrapment," Higgins said in a statement on June 11.
"They want to intercept a busload of conservatives en route to protest and create conflicts during the stop. They are hoping to provoke conservative Americans. Don't fall for the trap. Maintain your family. Live your life. Live free and pay close attention and make your voice heard," Higgins added.
"Don't become an incarcerated pawn in the agenda driven DOJ/FBI strategy to oppress conservatives across America."
Trump arrived in Miami on June 12, one day before his scheduled appearance in federal court, where he will be arraigned on federal charges. The former president faces a total of 37 felony counts over his handling of documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, including violating the federal Espionage Act and other federal statutes for allegedly making false statements, concealing documents, and conspiring to obstruct justice.
Jim Crow Joe is more unpopular than Donald Trump was at the same stage in his presidency, according to a comparison of polling data conducted by political analytics website FiveThirtyEight.
The website gave Biden a net approval rating of -14.6 percent on June 11, notably lower than the -10.9 percent Trump recorded the same number of days into his administration.
The FiveThirtyEight study also shows Biden is less popular following 874 days in the White House than all other post-war U.S. presidents, with the sole exception of Jimmy Carter. Just 41 percent of voters approve of the incumbent's performance at this stage in the electoral cycle, versus 42.3 percent for President Trump, 47.4 percent for Barack Obama and 61.5 for George W. Bush. Carter was significantly less popular than any other president 874 days into his administration, with an approval rating of just 28.8 percent.
My guess is Trump will get convicted on 4-5 counts on the south Florida document case. These will probably get thrown out eventually on appeal to the Supreme Court but it won't matter as corrupt Democrats, their primary goal is to influence the 2024 election, so when Trump is exonerated it will be to late.
Trump repeals independents so he is a losing candidate. Either Republicans nominate DeSantis or they lose in 2024.

Trump is likely to get convicted on at least one count, but the verdict may not be reached before the election. And it if it happens before the election and he won, he could pardon himself.
How this works.
The indictment of former President Donald Trump for holding military documents and obstructing the government from taking them is built on a novel legal theory that has multiple weaknesses, according to several lawyers and other experts.
The case has been portrayed in the media as being about Trump's retaining classified documents from his presidency. However, the charges sidestep that issue and instead use a clause in the Espionage Act that criminalizes a failure to hand over national defense information. The indictment further alleges that Trump and staffer Waltine Nauta hid some documents when the government demanded them through a subpoena.
The alleged Espionage Act violations impose a high burden of proof and raise the question of whether the statute should have been applied to begin with and, if not, whether the underlying investigation should serve as a basis for obstruction charges.
"The key legal issue here is the interplay between the Presidential Records Act and the Espionage Act," said Will Scharf, a former federal prosecutor.
The Presidential Records Act of 1978 stipulates that after a president leaves office, the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA) takes custody of all his official records.
The law allows former presidents to keep personal documents such as "diaries, journals, or other personal notes" not used for government business.
"If a former President or Vice President finds Presidential records among personal materials, he or she is expected to contact NARA in a timely manner to secure the transfer of those Presidential records to NARA," NARA's website states.
I am in the United States right now. Opinions on Donald Trump's indictment are polarized. Democrats believe he should have been indicted. They also believe Biden and Clinton should not even though they did the same thing. Republicans, on the other hand believe the sitting president is abusing his office to eliminate his main political opponent.
Trump faces 37 counts of criminal charges, 31 of which relate to the Espionage Act. Any conviction will be on the charges unrelated to the Espionage Act.
What democrat idiots don't realize is all this court stuff is only serving to make Trump appear even more badass than he already is. If he does somehow go to prison his street cred will go through the roof. Nobody is going to support feeble old Joe over Badass Don.

Anyway, Part of me hopes the country spirals into civil war.
A significant amount of the indictment against former President Donald Trump is based on attorney-client communications which are protected under U.S. law and will likely lead to a long and drawn-out legal battle in the months ahead, according to legal experts.
Trump has been charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of withholding a document or record, one count of scheme to conceal, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, and one count of false statements and representations.
As I predicted long ago:

You're wrong about DeSantis by the way. Look, I know you have a boner for him and all, but I'm telling you flat-out: if the Republicans nominate him, they lose 2024 when vast swathes of the MAGA crowd write in Trump on their ballots. You will have another four years of Biden being shuffled about, or if the best drugs money can buy aren't sufficient to keep his corporeal form in front of the cameras, some Butt-gig level incompetent in his stead.

I am not very confident about a GOP win with either of them. Trump has a problem with independents and Trump's supporters might stay away if the nominee is anybody other than Trump.
The normies are pissed. We want Trump to smash the system. No milquetoast republican will do either. Everyone other than Trump and DeSantis is a spineless RINO.

"Might"?
Look to historical account, specifically the shenanigans of the 2016 "steal" that Hillary supporters thought they had in the bag after railroading Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. A lot of very pissed off Bernie Bros who had gravitated towards his platform from the independent and swing voters jumped ship. And we know where a lot of them jumped, for all the "blue no matter who" hectoring and swatting attempts, a great number of them said "fuck the left, I'm outta here". I know because I was one of them.
And Bernie had brought around 15% of that base over to the Dems. That's a sizeable whack of votes. Coupled with the gross missampling biases inherent in an outdated polling methodology and a dogmatic faith in the power of a bought and paid for legacy media, Hillary's gang were convinced they had it in the bag. Hell, I thought they had it in the bag, there being no truly independent commentators that I knew of at the time to highlight what wasn't being said on the usual outlets. And I really did not enjoy the prospect of Clinton enjoying a 4 year run, let alone 8. Especially not after her open admission that she had one story for the voting public and another for the donor class. No points for guessing whose interests she was planning to serve, it sure as hell wasn't about to be yours or mine. Well, not unless you're insanely richer than you let on and are in the habit of buying your favours from her foetid part of the swamp.
We are watching a similar scenario play out now. Trump scares the powerbrokers of the left, you need only look to all the effort they are going to to divide the electorate. They want a safe candidate who can be influenced even if they cannot beat him. That's why they are going all out in the attempt to make sure that anyone BUT Trump is the nominee. They cannot abide another four years under a president that put the skids on their corrupt money laundering operations. We are being sold the same line that he cannot do it, the exact same fiction as we were sold in 2016 and frankly, it rather seems like they have done a bloody good job of brainwashing a good deal of the right into thinking that Trump is a liability in spite of his overwhelming in-party support. Not to mention him being six percentage points ahead of Biden if memory serves, at least according to the aggregate. It's going to take an awful lot of rigged Dominion machines and cured ballots to get out ahead of that, potentially even a bullet or two. I wouldn't put any of it past them.
Why would you listen to the vested interests of your political opposition who have been fucking you over a barrel for all these years? You have only to look at all the times they've lied openly to you in the past. Russiagate, Pissgate, the pretense of him being a warmongering fuckhead who was going to bankrupt the country, lie to the people and rig elections... all things they accused him of doing with no evidence to back up their stories before proceeding to do exactly what they accused him of.
They know they can rely on their core support, the partisans that would vote for anything with a D after its name. But it's not enough, hence why they astroturfed DeSantis long before he ever announced his run and why they are selling his attempts to curtail free speech and all but eliminate the middle class and small business owners as being a "good thing". I wouldn't vote for the guy, he might have done some amazing things for Florida, but that is one state out of fifty and last I heard, Trump was out-polling him there too.
But hey, conservatives have traditionally been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory before. Why wouldn't they disappoint us all by living up to the same up-to shit example they're famous for?
