Last week’s indictment of Donald Trump is the latest example of why liberals really should have read my book, “Resistance Is Futile.” Or Aesop’s fable “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” Either one.
After years of making insane accusations against Trump, from Russian collusion to indicting him for misdemeanor record-keeping errors in his blackmail payments to a porn star, liberals finally have him dead to rights committing serious felonies. And no one believes them.
It’s your own fault, liberals.
Much to my surprise, the documents Trump had spirited away to Mar-a-Lago were not cheesy souvenirs appealing to his juvenile sensibility, like Shaquille O’Neal’s shoe or a picture with Kim Kardashian.
No, the documents he’d stuffed in Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom, bathroom and shower (among other highly secure locations) included information about our nuclear weapons programs, the defense capabilities of the U.S. and other countries, potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation.
As Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” these were “among the most sensitive secrets the country has.”...
In another reminder that Trump defenders need to wait a beat before repeating his claims like trained seals, the government has Trump on audiotape boasting about how incredibly “secret” and “highly confidential” the documents are — as he showed them off to people at his Bedminster Club. “As president I could have declassified it,” he told the non-security-cleared person, “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
How many Republicans have sworn up and down that Trump had declassified all the papers he removed from the White House? Now he’s on tape admitting that that was a lie.

Boy there’s a lot hostility around here.
Ok, so maybe that’s true.
But there should be a rule. That is a huge gaping hole begging for trouble.
Thank you.
It is amazing how much FRers act just like the Dems they so despised all these decades.
It was kind of funny how many times Dems created some rule or law specifically to strong-arm a Republican, then have it turned around on THEM (think Clinton’s Special Prosecutor, for starters).
Fools do not think ahead. And it is asinine. You covered the issue well - the president is not to be king (and they weren’t thinking of classified systems back then; the first sentence of Article II gives no specific indication about what “executive power” means). And allowing communists like Xiden and other Dems that same power is scary. But they would have to admit it exists.
Russia, Russia Hoax;
Impeachment 1;
Impeachment 2; and the
Muller Investigation.
Now the Federal Indictment?
I see a pattern. You don’t. Whatever.
What a silly thread.
Most of the comments are as bad or worse than the article.
Hi Ann!
Yep - Ann went from hero to zero some time ago.
I hit a few other sites and saw the article you linked - shows a LOT of boxes and says the classified would have fit in one of them with room to spare...but the pics were designed to sway public opinion.
But not surprising. There's a frustration that Dems win because they don't obey the law, while Republicans lose gracefully while maintaining their principles.
MAGA conservatives like Trump because he behaves like a Dem, i.e., he plays to win, rules be damned. I've heard FReepers come out and say so explicitly. They want a leader who's a bull in the Deep States's china shop, trampling on all the rules and smashing everything in sight.
To some extent, I sympathize. Although I'm not as blind to Trump's many faults as some of his more ardent supporters.
