Donald Trump Announces Mar-A-Lago "Raided, Under Siege, And Occupied" By The FBI​

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, AUG 08, 2022 - 04:08 PM
Moments ago, Donald Trump - who is still banned by Twitter - published a statement on Truth Social in which he said that his Florida home, Mar A Lago is “currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents", an assault which according to Trump "could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries." He is probably right. He also claims the Fed's presence was unannounced and the reason was politically motivated.
His full statement posted on his Truth Social account is below:

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the
United States of America
These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe! What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the Democrat National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States.
The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and so much more, it just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level!
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 E-mails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture, and other items from the White House.
I stood up to America's bureaucratic corruption, I restored power to the people, and truly delivered for our Country, like we have never seen before. The establishment hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories, and see my dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop me, and the Republican Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped.

I will continue to fight for the Great American People!

Local reporters confirmed the raid, saying the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. "They just left," although it isn't clear what the search was about.

While we await more information on what the FBI was doing at Mar-A-Lago or what they may have found, here are some kneejeak reactions.

If that's not a Rubicon moment, I don't know what is.

Then you don't know what a rubicon moment is. Trump has no army. No capital to be seiged. Crossing the rubicon was a declaration of war on Rome. Rome had already declared war on ceasar and he was supposed to take it up the ass like a good citizen and maybe he and his family live. You know when Trump had that opportunity? When he knew the election was stolen. He didn't do anything about it.

This raid isn't leading to a civil war right now. The right isn't up in arms doing anything. Can you imagine how many riots there'd be going on right now if this happened to Hillary when Trump was in office? The talk is just that, talk. Nobody is going to do anything violent. The populist party that's replacing the Republicans hopefully gets stronger and the Rinos die out. But that's it. The right loves to say "the dems went too far this time! Just wait until the shoe is on the other foot!" You'd be dead for several years several times over if you held your breath everytime they said that.

 

[The Ugly One]

Depends on whether it's really kicking yourself in the nuts. Parasites like McConnell are well insulated from the consequences of their actions. The regime will never target him. When he retires and finally dies, establishment will be effusive with praise for him, talking about how he was 'one of the good ones', as they've done for John McTraitor, Paul Ryan, Lizard Cheney, Penis Cheney, Both Bushes and many others

You've just argued why it is a Rubicon moment.

Obama never went after Bush or Cheney? Well they're on the same fucking team. But the illusion in America is that the American people have the right to pick their own leaders. So they pick Donald Trump, who is not a career politician, who is not DC establishment. He's an outsider. So what do they do? They use every weapon in their arsenal to destroy him, derail his candidacy and destroy his Presidency. Then, when they finally manage to get him out with good old fashioned vote fixing, they do everything they can to make sure he doesn't run again, culminating in raiding his home. They have completely and comprehensively shattered the illusion that the American people have any say over who rules them.

If that's not a Rubicon moment, I don't know what is.

You've shifted the goalposts. No shit most of the people who thought war wasn't going to happen, by the end of the thirties at least, were probably pacifists. Doesn't mean such people didn't exist. Chamberlain's the biggest fucking example.

Julius Caesar led part of the apparatus of Roman power. Pompey led another part. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, those two parts were now at war, and the only resolution would be by blood.

Unlike either Pompey or Caesar, there is no power apparatus loyal to Trump. No part of the military is going to march on Washington for him. No significant part of the American government, certainly not the part controlled by Republicans, will do anything. And no, angry citizens are not going to start spontaneously driving across America with their AR-15s to shoot...somebody. Governors are not going to call up the National Guard to do anything. Trump is now isolated, with not much he can do besides be mad online.

If there was a Rubicon moment, it was when Trump told a group of wealthy Jews that they couldn't buy him. Or perhaps it was simply when he rode down the escalator. By daring to set foot in territory that was strictly forbidden to men who hadn't paid their dues, he implicitly declared war on the entire American power establishment - both parties, the Fortune 500, the media, and the MIC. It meant war, and unfortunately, he appears to be losing.

Aren't the actual Silos in mostly red areas? I don't think that the War would go a week before those got overrun and decomissioned.

Edit : I am not saying they are, but I could swear they are just like in the middle of nowhere assfuck America and it would be a..poor strategy to leave the Nukes as a weapon available to the Coastal Rats.

they are in the middle of fucking nowhere. in actual war conditions it would be extremely difficult to get the fuel to get a large enough mass of people to overrun anything out in the middle of nowhere.

Holy shit.

Both of you stop talking right there.

If you're going to overrun a silo, you better bring a LOT of motherfuckers that you aren't going to mind coming up missing. And you better know how to get open 15 ton doors with 6" bolts around the whole thing.

They're heavily fortified and heavily guarded.

You know why?

Because they were built when the USSR was considered a threat (despite the Clinton Admin selling off the parts and imploding about half of them) and they were designed to stop any Spetsnaz troops coming at them.

hell, a bunch of officers got relieved for allowing the internal crews to leave the big heavy ass entry door open. (Missile Command has all kinds of problems, but those are on the meat side, mostly because an Air Force dwonk never met a drug he didn't snort)

You aren't just going to roll up and overrun it. It's not a fucking mobile command center with "SHOOT HERE" on the side.

Half of the time, IF you got near it, you wouldn't even know it was there.

And LOL at the "everyone knew the USSR was going to collapse."

No. They didn't.

something being a "rubicon moment" is fuzzy and vague because our politicians aren't military leaders so the concept doesn't map directly at all onto our society. No American politican is commanding troops in Mexico or the Philippines and then coming back to the US, not commanding troops.

 

[The Ugly One]

As an aside, ever notice how everyone, both left and right, assumes from the outset that if there's a civil war and the Democrats are in charge of the federal government, their very first move will to be commit the most heinous war crimes ever wrought against innocent civilians since Genghis Khan was depopulating countries? Like that's just the assumption. Civil War II? Yeah, of course the Democrats are going to immediately murder 100+ million people, no big deal.

well yeah they're communists, and also really stupid

 

[AnotherPleb]

And the Republicans are just as stupid for not being able to make bank in elections on how lunatic infested the democrats have become.

The longterm GOP would rather Lose With Dignity and keep going to their dinner parties.

If Trump had used his power as commander in chief to enforce and ensure the election investigation, he *could* have done it. That isn't what he chose to do. It's quite likely he didn't have the support in the military to do that. It's also quite likely he wasn't and still isn't the man ready and/or willing to end this sham of a republic. That place in history falls to someone else, probably who no one has heard of.

 

[Socrates]

it was when Trump told a group of wealthy Jews that they couldn't buy him.

Which jews were these? It certainly wasn't the Israelis.

that wouldn't have been like Caesar crossing the Rubicon because it would have been legal

 

[The Last Stand]

Can you imagine how many riots there'd be going on right now if this happened to Hillary when Trump was in office?

None.

Now I say this because nobody cares what happens to their politicians. They'll rant on Twitter, print news articles, maybe strike. But, overall, there's no energy with those kind of people unless it affects them or it could be exploited for control disguised as social justice.

 

[Lady Rackets Ass]

Trump is a billionaire of course he sucks kike cock, but at least he does it without letting the cum dribble down his chin so obviously most of the time

This is spot on. The whole “once the red line gets crossed, people are going to get mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore!” proved itself to be nothing but cope thanks to the events of 2020. Nobody takes it seriously anymore, especially the left, which is why they can confidently raid Mar-A-Lago and not expect anything to happen. And it won’t. It’s why I will keep mocking people who talk about crossing a rubicon.

No sane government wants to rule over a graveyard that used to be its main tax base. That being said, this administration has made it clear that they have no capacity for forward planning and seems to just react in a comically confusing fashion to anything thrown its way. It is clown world my dude, a safe bet is to expect the terrible and the absurd. I'm placing my bets on domestically launched thermonuclear dekulakization in the event of suburban/ agrarian uprising. Muh continuity ov gubment, ruralfolk being dead means racism is ended, cockroaches can survive fallout and be used to make bug patties, etc.

 

[BelUwUga]

Are they really trying to play it off like Biden learned about this from public reports? That might be the one explanation that actually looks worse than a naked power grab. It's not something I agree with but B follows A and precedes C. It's coherent. Some underling judge authorizing an FBI raid with agents going off-reservation, while the Chief Executive has no idea is the kind of dangerous incompetence that needs to be removed yesterday. Compromise with actors like that is a pointless or even harmful endeavor.

 

[mold]

that isn't what "crossing the rubicon" means

 

[Socrates]

What the hell is a rubicon?

It's the river Julius Caesar had to cross to get to Rome. He was ordered by the senate to disband his army before he came. He said "lol fuck that y'all think I'm a retard or sum?" and the rest is history. Typically invoked to convey that a line has been crossed.

What the hell is a rubicon?

It's the high-end factory off-road package for the Jeep Wrangler. It adds many features such as selectable lockers, half-ton axles, an improved transfer case, larger wheels, and increased suspension height

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

that isn't what "crossing the rubicon" means

Any analogy where Republicans do nothing but sit with a thumb up their ass is applicable.
