Sounds like maybe even Fox and Friends are getting ready to abandon the Trump Train:

That was helpful.  Sounds like this was more about capturing a variety of the evidence on film more than anything else.

Trump is the end game of "Fake it till you make it", and a seemingly ultimate example of "The Dilbert Principle".

I don't think they have a cohesive plan, and the DOJ is using the incompetence against Heir Trump.  Below article explains the passport seizure and Trump admitting they are his and were taken from Mar-a-Lago was a bad move.

Wow, reading that brief from the tweet is painful.  Has anyone told Trump he isn't a President anymore?  He doesn't get executive privilege.  that brief seems to have been written by Qanon and supervised by 5th graders.

Yeah some folks have made the observation that Trump's team is arguing that the items are protected by Executive Privilege, which would mean they should be ... returned to the current executive branch, and that he's no longer part of that.  There is a solid clown car type vibe to all of this. 

Why yes, while I am on trial for seditious activities and actively stealing and selling government secrets, let me offer to pardon everyone currently on trial and convicted of similar activities.  I am baffled at his legal strategy.  This dolt has zero self preservation skills.

The ineptitude is likely intentional. It bogs the whole process down, making any  progress difficult. He's not as stupid as he may seem. 

People have already posted remakes of Biden's speach tonight with nazi imagery, a hitler mustache, and  german language dub.

I will not post a link, but it is on Twitter.  It is almost like a subset of the population cannot wrap their heads around the fact that Trump is the one trying to burn the country down.  I seriously do not get it.

A fine example of MAGAts projecting their true sentiment. Logic has never been their forte. 

Takes me back to grade school.
"no... YOU'RE a fascist!" 
"Moooommmmmyyyyy!! Biden's calling us names!"

Ah the old basket of deplorables speech. Maybe it will work out this time?

Have any of you guys, who normally don't watch Faux News, tried to do so, for an entire day?  If that is one's only source of news for some people (let's not even bring up OANN, Newsmax, etc) then its no wonder this cult exists (and "cult" is the only proper term for it).  
The FCC's "Fairness Doctrine" needs to be brought back, ASAP.  

I catch a bit of Fox News here and there when I'm traveling (it is often on at small regional airports close to military bases - go figure).   I think for people who don't watch it regularly, the propaganda is readily apparent.  

There have been a couple of studies performed recently where they had Fox News viewers agree to watch CNN for a month, and then asked them questions about their attitudes on various topics.  The results are pretty amazing.  

I try to avoid watching any cable news, because I think all of it is fairly shallow and designed to entertain or agitate instead of inform.  If I'm pressed for time I'll try to catch the News Hour on PBS, as its orientation seems to be much closer to providing information.

NBD.

I have said for some time that I am much more interested in and concerned about what *wasn’t found* at MAL than what was.  If they have evidence that he had some particular sensitive document and they weren’t able to find it during the search, well… where TF is it?  Potentially no place any good.
