I disagree with KDW on this. Mar-a-lago isn't just any house in Florida. It's the home of the President's possible challenger. When that happens extra care has to be taken to ensure there are very good and justifiable reasons to search his property.

nationalreview.com/corner/do-we-b… Image No one is arguing that Trump should be above the law. But an operation like this is hard to justify over some papers that there's some argument he can keep.

A lower-level prosecutor just YOLO'd the search of the President's opposition's home without clearing it at the highest levels? No one at the FBI asked if the AG had signed off on this? If the search of Trump's home is the righteous execution of justice, why is no one taking credit for it?

The FBI raiding the home of the President's presumed opposing candidate has such wide-ranging political implications it's hard to believe it was done without the President or AG's knowledge. Who in the DOJ would take such a step without clearing it with the highest levels?

If they did that on their own how could they not be fired?

I'm waiting to hear what the raid was about to think more seriously about it. I do hope this isn't about some classified papers. If Trump got raided for doing with physical papers what Hillary did with emails then.. I don't know what's going to happen.

That sound you hear is 100 million Democrats unzipping their pants. It's less of a raid and more of a self-guided tour around Mar-a-lago.

This is real asshole behavior and she handled it as best as anyone could. Only people who are already deep on the anti-media side are going to think Stein comes out looking like the good guy in that exchange.

These locos are going to make me defend Dave Weigel. If Sonmez really was bothered by the joke what a normal human being would do is tell him privately by DM and he probably would have apologized and unRT.

What she did was meant to put a spotlight on her, collect some victim points at the expense of her employer.

Cue the left's response. Let's see if they fall for the trap. After walking into the pre-K buzzsaw the left wouldn't be dumb enough to go to bat for children drag shows.

My first reaction was "That's not class. That's some Nicole Hannah Jones shit."

But reading that report I changed my mind. It's truly outrageous.

Though my preference is for conservative scholars to stay at institutions instead of leaving them to anti-liberal forces. If it were me I would have waited for that to happen before quitting.

Cuomo continues to enjoy a presumption of innocence his party is working to deny college students everywhere. There's still not been a single feminist with a picket sign protesting Cuomo.

I had an argument with my wife, the kind where you have no choice but to exercise the nuclear option. I told her she was acting like her mother. Oohhh, that never occurred to me.

There's a related question to this that I've been meaning to ask. But I'm not sure how to pose it tactfully... When my wife and I were seeking fertility treatment, because of our age we knew we were at a higher chance of conceiving a child with Down Syndrome. We would not have refused to carry the child if that had been the case. But it did give us concern about going on with the process.

If you can't understand Ibram X. Kendi it's because you haven't read his book and done the work.

Do the work. It is the mark of white racist families to... *checks notes* adopt black children and give them a loving home.

How much more time are we going to devote to "Trump won't leave office"? Dozens more probably. We know Trump talks a lot of garbage that will never happen. He can't do it even if he wanted to.

It's hard to debate the Breonna Taylor case without nailing down if they identified themselves. And the differing reports on that guarantees everyone will only side with whoever they're willing to give the benefit of the doubt to. Cops have no reason not to id themselves. They could have been negligent or not loud enough. The boyfriend has no reason to get into a shootout with the cops. The most sensible explanation is he thought they were intruders.

Part of the complication with SCOTUS nominations is a different understanding of what the Senate's role in this is supposed to be. Arguably the intent of Senate consent was to prevent corrupt dealings in their appointment, or to stop the President from appointing their cousin. Not mean to be a filter against qualified nominees who went against the ideological makeup of the Senate at the time. And the President got plenty of deference in their appointment. RBG, who was known as a liberal firebrand at the time was confirmed 96-3. Scalia 98-0.

There is no such thing as a Garland Rule or a Biden Rule. There is only the Constitution.

Anyone complaining about Garland "stolen seat" is presuming the Senate is supposed to rubber stamp the President's nominee. And don't start with "AlL wE wAnTeD wAs A hEaRiNg."

You are not this worked up because we didn't go through the pointless motions of a confirmation hearing before rejecting him anyway.

I assume it's going to take weeks to hear about this in the NYT, CNN. It took weeks for Tara Reade's name to show up at CNN, WaPo and the NYT after her accusation went public. So the clock is running to see how fast this gets to the mainstream media's front pages.

I haven't decided if I'm voting for Trump. And if I do I won't claim I was forced to by the left. I understand and sympathize with every single argument thrown at me about Trump's unfitness for office. But to me it just comes down to one issue: abortion. Joe Biden is a good man. And the country would probably be better managed under his administration. But I can't vote for the abortion platform he brings along with him.

Let's pump the brakes here for a second. What I've seen of Cuties is creepy, vile and should be all around condemned, but I don't know that it counts as child pornography or that it should be illegal or prompt the state to get involved. If that's where this is headed. Yeah, I'm not getting on board here. And I suspect this has to do with Netflix's woke programming and having the Obamas on as producers.
