FB friend:
Donald Trump fancies himself Caesar, but the Roman figure he most closely resembles is not Caesar, but Crassus.

Marcus Licinius Crassus lived from 115 to 53BC. He was a Roman nobleman who made his money in real-estate. He accumulated vast real-estate holdings through one simple trick: he owned Rome's only fire department. When buildings were on fire, he would send his firefighters there but not put out the fire. Instead, he would offer to buy the burning building from its owner at an absurdly low price. If the owner refused, he would let the building burn down. If the owner agreed, he would put out the fire and add the building to his real-estate holdings.

He was such a corrupt, vile, selfish individual that the modern insult "crass" is named after him. When he was captured in Parthia after a disastrous attempt to play at being a general, it is said that his captors killed him by pouring molten gold down his throat, to mock his legendary greed.

Part of me is like "It's been two years, no way even trump is stupid enough to keep illegal stuff back there"

But then part of me is like "it's ******* trump. He would have had to have gotten someone to move that jive for him, and no one has narc'd on it yet... so there's probably illegally kept stuff still there".

And then they open it and it's just Junior's coke stash. Donny didn't report it because that would've meant knowing or caring what his kids were up to.

Of course, now that they've gone and announced their plans to do a second raid to the media, he's been given ample time to just move it somewhere else.

And once again create a steady stream of narcs: because he still doesn't do his own work. If they move it, it will be found out.

They could give him a 4 month headstart and he still wouldn't move anything until the day before.

Ironbite-because he can't believe this is happening to him and nothing will come of it.

Because nixon was pardoned. All these questions would have been answered 50 years ago in a less extreme, less fanatical context: but nixon got pardoned with the intent of healing and moving forward.

At least they did the right thing.

Edit: the appeals court, not gerald ford.

Welp, they did have to go through and dot every I and cross ever T to hopefully avoid any legitimate challenge to the ruling.

Stupid challenges on the other hand.....

He's demented. There's NO WAY the US CAN sit out of a major world-wide conflict. The world is too interconnected now and our economy is reliant on imports and exports. Just look what happened to gas and grain prices when the Russo-Ukrainian war started. That's small-potatoes compared to something on the scale of WWI or WWII.
