- In Letters from an American, historian Heather Cox Richardson reviews an amazing couple of days with the famous search warrant, a seized cell phone from an insurrection-connected congressman, another seized cell phone from an insurrection-connected lawyer, Trump tax returns, and Biden accomplishments. A very busy news week.
- Infidel753 has a couple of thoughtful reactions to the Trump warrant.
Best lines express impatience with the impatient, those who thought Garland was sitting around too scared to proceed.
These cries of impatience always sounded to me like the kid in the back seat whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” at the adult driver. Well, it looks like we’re almost there. Be glad the adults took the time to get everything right.
- A raid is a search that involves a police forcible entry I had to look it up. Frances Langum says the Trump warranted search doesn’t qualify, and helpfully provides a bunch of Trump era examples that do.
- It used to irritate non-MAGA taxpayers that President Trump would vacation at Mar-a-lago, get Secret Service Protection, and get his resort to bill the Secret Service for taking up space, putting money into his own pocket. At The Onion, the FBI finishes their search for highly classified nuclear secrets Mr. Trump had denied keeping, then is presented with a bill for their 12-hour stay.
- Scotties Playtime has a reporting edge. Scottie’s husband worked nights for Trump at Mar-a-lago. Scottie is able to put the warrant into plain language. This is why it’s important.
- Ant Farmer’s Almanac has the headline as the US DOJ rejects a proposal from Geraldo. Yeah, it’s satire.
- We have been getting reports on the precise type of top secret classified documents that had been spirited away in Trump crevices. In Hackwhackers we find additional details of the possible types of nuclear secrets. Startling details.
- About those nukes:
When we have a week like the week that just was, you know you’ll find satire from Andy Borowitz. This week, Trump dismisses fears he would build nukes.
“There’s math, there’s science. Not gonna happen,” the ex-President said.
- Green Eagle looks at wide ranging Republican which is to say wingnut reaction to the FBI raid to rescue evidence at Mar-A-Lago.
I respond to one objection:The public should demand to see that warrant!
Including:
What judge approved it?
What was the probable cause?
What crime is being alleged?
What specific items were taken?That ALL should be released by …
… um…
Donald Trump?
Oh yeah. They had to give him the warrant.— Burr Deming (@BurrLand01) August 10, 2022
- Dave Columbo goes dramatic, acting out Republican drama over the Mar-a-Lago drama:

This week he covers right wing reaction to an sudden awareness that maybe Trump is not above the law.
