But...but...Trump!

I have to agree with the lefties here. Purely on the basis of accuracy, nothing in that tweet says *anyone* admitted anything about being wrong.

:)

I agree the OPs assertion that the FBI found nothing is not in the Washington posts article. The meme was rather hyperbolic. Kinda like people who have television programs saying that Trump was going to sell the documents.

Uno reverse. Follow the money to Joy Behar and the View. Shock headlines / topics make $$$...... especially speculation about trump.

And speaking of hyperbolic, describing that^ speculation as "demonic" seems a bit hyperbolic....

#1 former President Trump has the highest security clearance and as President can classify or declassify any information at will. It is not at all a problem for Trump to have any classified documents and especially if he decided they were no longer classified. There is no crime. The National Archives already combed through the same set of documents last year and there was nothing else they wanted to retain. Progressives and Democrats still don't get it. They are the very racist fascist regime they pretend to be against.

Here is a link to where Trump actually went through the process and did declassification, as he is able to do in the position of President.

My issue is, when did people start thinking the blue checkmark made you special?

All it's supposed to mean is that you're verified, you are who you say you are, to protect against people creating an account in your name and pretending to be you so they can spew crap and make people hate you.

Somehow people started behaving like the blue checkmark meant they'd joined an elite club, and were worthy of admiration and special attention to their opinions.

I did hear one theory that Twitter staff were actually withholding blue check status, and offering to guarantee it to the pre-approved wealthy and celebs for an under-the-table "fee", which is why they're so upset about everyone being able to get it for only $8 now.

No idea if there's any truth to that though, but something along those lines sounds entirely plausible.

Idk. I don't have a Twitter account and idk if people think the checkmark makes them feel special... I often sh*t on Twitter as a news source anyway though....unless it's just a quote of whoever on twitter. And even then if it is a new tweet, there is a possibility that person with the blue check's account has been hacked.

Forgot I saved this a couple weeks ago, when Elon was floating a $20 price tag to see how *normal* people liked the idea.

Blue checkmark just means we could be somewhat more able to believe the person is who they say they are ... Has nothing to do with if "we should listen to them" or not. A crackhead with blue checkmark would still be a crackhead.

Exactly. But all the people complaining about being able to pay only $8 for it are the ones who thought it was a symbol of their leetness.

The article discussed as much as an investigation can disclose while it is ongoing. Obviously the FBI found documents however, there is no concrete conclusion about the nature of those documents and the legality of their possession as of yet.

When asking for a source, the best I could find about the Washington Post clarifying what was found was in this most recent article and, to be clear, the article makes absolutely no assertion that the FBI found nothing. Again, in contradiction of the OPs assertion.

What is interesting is that the article now asserts that Trump's intention in keeping the documents is more likely about ego and sentimentality which, given Trump's bombastic and hyperbolic rhetoric on nearly everything, shouldn't be surprising. The Post had previously written an article saying that the documents contain compromising information about intelligence gathering and other highly sensitive material. Where intention doesn't preclude guilt or wrongdoing, the theme amongst the MSM was that Trump was somehow acting in a traitorous and intentional manner. Thus assuming malevolent intentionality.

Now, the Post is saying that there doesn't appear to be any malevolence or intentionally traitorous behavior rather, he was behaving more like a petulant child which, given earlier narratives and evidence, is par for the course.

Ultimately, this raid appears to be more about demonization rather than attempting to actually prevent the leaking of classified documents for profit.

I can appreciate the OPs meme. Further, in the last few days there have been many conservative/right leaning publications asserting basically what the OP posted. Did the FBI find nothing? Clearly they found documents. What was the nature of the documents specifically? Obviously an ongoing investigation can't disclose that. Did Trump keep the documents in order to perpetrate some sort of treasonous activity? The Washington Post seems to think it was done because Trump is petty. Is anyone surprised? Not this fashionista.

From a media perspective it sure seems that way. Saying the guy is probably going to sell documents for profit without evidence is rather demonic in my book but if that's what you took from my response, suit yourself.
As for Hunter, there seems to be quite a bit of shady activity there. If he's guilty, he should be punished. Same for Trump. Selective enforcement of the law is a tragedy.
Kisses!

When someone starts lying about them possessing stuff idk.... Nefarious intentions don't seem outside the realm of possibility. That was definitely speculation though.

And much of your response seemed to be about his perceived intent...which again is speculation. The only one who truly knows why Trump took the documents is Trump... so eh.. idk.

I generally have doubts about people connected/ rich people actually getting punished even if guilty but I guess we'll see what happens with both.

Kisses? Those better be Hershey.
:P
