3. Aug 10, 2022 Right wing media personalities and their fans are taking the raid of T****’s home pretty hard, while the spike in food prices is prompting the well-to-do to flock to lower priced chains like IHOP and Applebee’s

4. FBI director condemns threats to agents after raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – ABC News

   There is an uptick in violent threats against rank and file FBI agents in the wake of the raid, senior law enforcement officials told ABC News.

   While not directly addressing those threats, Wray said any threat against law enforcement is cause for concern.

   “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter what anyone is upset about,” Wray said. “In the last few years we’ve had an alarming rise in violence against law enforcement.”

   The director said it takes a “special person” to sacrifice his or her life for a stranger, and that is what law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, do every day.

   When asked for more specifics on the threats against FBI agents, the FBI offered a generic statement and provided no details.

   “The FBI is always concerned about violence and threats of violence to law enforcement, including the men and women of the FBI,” an unnamed FBI spokesperson said in an e-mail to ABC News. “We work closely with our law enforcement partners to assess and respond to such threats, which are reprehensible and dangerous. As always, we would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious to report it to law enforcement immediately.”

   As a reminder, Wray was appointed by former President Trump in 2017, and has not been outspoken on many controversial issues.

5. “the mob pleads the fifth”

   Aug 10, 2022 Donald Trump pleads the fifth during his deposition in a New York State tax fraud investigation and MAGA supporters claim the FBI planted evidence at his Mar-a-Lago home.

6. It struck me even before Stephen mentioned it…..a basement–in Florida?!?

7. 450 invocations of the 5th yesterday. Second only to Erik’s 500. 

8. On last night’s newscast, it was mentioned that when the FBI seizes something, they give a list to the perp…meaning that tRUMPsky could tell everyone what was taken by the FBI.  If he wanted to, he could just show everyone that list.  
   Now, why doesn’t he want anyone to know what was confiscated? 
    
   The IRS docs are coming out.   The team is turning on him. His grift is coming to an end.  He and the fam need to high-tail it overseas. 

9. Jared is definitely suspect since his father went to jail for offenses, he well knows his father-in-law has committed.  He certainly has no desire to repeat daddy’s time behind bars.

    “12 hours after a shower with soap and water, the average crotch has an Odor Score of 5 to 6 out of 10.”

    i love television.

11. Moles often hang out in Meadows.  Rats, too.

12. Live the “basement in Florida” question. USGS notes well depths in Palm Beach County in the 9-15 foot below surface range. MAL is on Palm Beach – the barrier island.   Can’t locate a site on the island but it can’t be much deeper. Better have a great sump pump.

    WATCH: Beto O’Rourke drops F-bomb at heckler over Uvalde shooting (msn.com)

    In the lead up to the interaction, O’Rourke was describing how the 18-year-old gunman “followed the law that’s on the books that says you can buy not one, but two or more AR-15s, hundreds of rounds and ammunition and take that weapon that was originally designed for use on battlefields in Vietnam to penetrate an enemy’s helmet at 500 ft and knock him down dead.”

    However, before O’Rourke was able to finish his point, the man began laughing loudly enough to disrupt the candidate, prompting him to swiftly turn toward the man and shout: “It may be funny to you motherf–ker, but it’s not funny to me.”

    The crowd cheered and applauded the fiery response, turning their O’Rourke signs to face the collection of Abbott supporters standing in the back of the room. “We’re gonna make sure that our kids who are starting their school year right now, that they don’t have to worry about somebody walking into their school with a weapon like this,” O’Rourke continued. “That we take common sense steps, we find the common ground. Democrats and Republicans, gun, non-gun owners alike.” 

    A video of the moment posted by an O’Rourke fan page on Twitter quickly went viral, amassing more than 23,000 likes and more than 7,000 retweets within hours. Other videos of the moment were also widely shared on social media Wednesday night, sparking praise from several O’Rourke supporters. 

14. hope those fbi guys were wearing masks in that basement – rampant mold and mildew area.  for that matter above ground in any of those old FL houses ain’t much better. 

    wonder too if the documents weren’t damp/damaged due to the humidity in the months of such storage

17. Love the speculation Jared is the traitor. Even if not true, fun thinking about it

18. Beto is turning some Republicans into first-time Dem voters, they hate Abbott so much.   Someone wearing a MAGAt hat  had Beto sign it.  (Not sure if that wasn’t a put up job, but I have seen Beto signs popping up…which is brave, considering how MAGAts act out when they find someone else’s free speech disagreeable)

22. Wait, so you’re telling me “Back the Blue” was just anti-black racist code, this whole time?
     
    …would have never guessed 😜

23. Any idea, Mr. C, when the public will receive more info on what that raid was really all about? Monday?

     i can’t believe DoJ would have taken such an extraordinary step over pilfered stationary

24. So Garland asks the court to unseal the search warrant and list of stuff seized pursuant to the warrant. Not a bad move. In fact a brilliant move. His spokeslawyers are shifting into dervish mode. 

25. Yep. Of course, he’ll try to block them from unsealing it.  Can’t wait to hear what reason he’ll concoct to explain that. 

26. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3596617-what-is-the-new-langya-virus-that-has-infected-dozens-in-china/

    “A new virus has infected dozens of people in China, with researchers suggesting shrews might be a “natural reservoir” for the virus.”

    “…no other pathogen detected in their body besides Langya and had a range of symptoms, including nausea, fever, vomiting and cough.”

    “At this stage, LayV doesn’t look like a repeat of Covid-19 at all, but it is yet another reminder of the looming threat caused by the many pathogens circulating in populations of wild and domestic animals that have the potential to infect humans,” he added in a separate tweet.

27. Schumer should refer Rick Scott to Ethics Committee for censure, for comparing FBI to Gestapo

28. With so much going on I decided this evening will be away from it all.  Movie night.  You’ve Got Mail.  My go to whenever I need a happy cry.  A Remey champagne cognac in the glass with red beans, sausage, and rice for snack.
    If all goes right I will be retired soon.

29. Ask & receive:
     

    Moving quickly, a federal magistrate judge — Bruce E. Reinhart, who has also come under attack by Trump supporters — set a deadline of 3 p.m. on Friday for the department to relay any objection from Mr. Trump about unsealing the documents. In his brief remarks, Mr. Garland said he decided to make a public statement because Mr. Trump had confirmed the action and because of the “substantial public interest in this matter.”

    “The FBI sought to locate classified documents related to nuclear weapons, among other items…”

    Yeah, tRUMPsky probably wants to block the docs from being unsealed.

31. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/11/us/ricky-shiffer-purported-social-media-posts/index.html

    Well, that was fast.

    “A social media account bearing the name of Ricky Shiffer, the suspect in the Ohio standoff with the FBI, made a post on the social media platform founded by Donald Trump, referencing an attempt to storm an FBI office and encouraging others online to prepare for a revolutionary-type war.”

    “On the Truth Social account, the user claimed they was present in Washington on January 6, but did not say whether they entered the Capitol. The user’s push for violence did not start or stop with the FBI’s recent actions. The poster constantly referenced his belief that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.”

    were (sigh)

32. BiD, that’s WV grammar.

    But turning to Dumbass, Lawrence O’Donnell said it best – the singular stupidest person ever occupationally close to US nuclear weapons.
