Congressman Andrew Ogles confirmed he had his cellphone seized by the FBI pursuant to a search warrant.

No, Congressman, the FBI does not seize your cellphone on a whim about ‘innocent mistakes”.

They seize it when they think you laundered OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS IN FAKE DONATIONS.

Ogles has already faced criticism about falsifying his credentials, like college transcripts saying he was an economist, or a cop, or an expert on sex trafficking.

Of course his lawyer is Preston Kline IV.

Who is Preston Kline IV?

The guy who was neck deep in the Maria Butina Affair working for Alexander Torshin with the NRA to establish ties between Russia and the US gun group.

This is not the language of a sane person

This is NOT the language of a sane man who is in control of himself. 

Instead, this rant by Trump — posted August 6, morning — is the deranged ranting of a man who knows he’s losing, and is beginning to fear a massive public humiliation, which is the one thing that a narcissist like Trump truly cannot stand.   Just like Gollum in Lord of the Rings, The Precious was practically in Trump’s grasp again, before it was snatched away at the last minute by the nasty Harris woman, a tricky cheater, so cruel to poor Donald, who only wants what belongs to him before she stole it, yes stole it, so unfair, Gollum.

UPDATE

The dam is breaking – – – Republicans now recognize that Trump is old, demented, cognitively impaired.

Republicans on Monday reeled from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his new general election matchup with Harris — following a weekend that saw him praise Russian leader Vladimir Putin while smearing Harris as “low IQ,” and “dumb” and attacking Georgia’s governor whose turnout operation he may need in November.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” said Matthew Bartlett, a GOP strategist and former Trump administration appointee. “This is a guy who cut through the Republican primary like a knife through butter. This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race. And now this is a guy who cannot come to grips with a competitive presidential race that would require discipline and effective messaging. And we’re seeing a candidate and a campaign absolutely melt down.”

Republicans who saw their party lose the White House and both chambers of Congress during Trump’s presidency have worried before about Trump’s lack of discipline. But Trump’s venting now comes at a critical point in the election, with Harris surpassing him in fundraising and gaining ground in some battleground state polls.

And Harris isn’t just “gaining ground in some battleground states,” she’s leading in all the states she needs, and is well within the margins of error in bonus states. And the trend is clear, the momentum still building.

Vice President Harris has upended the presidential race and has now built a 51%-48% lead over former President Trump, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

That result is 4 points better than just after Harris got into the race two weeks ago when President Biden bowed out. Harris maintains a 3-point lead (48%-45%) when third-party choices are offered, too.

This, of course, was before she named Tim Walz as her running mate, and we’re still more than a week away from what will certainly be an electrifying convention. The media conventional wisdom still lags the polling, but it will catch up.

Trump’s condition is not likely to improve.  In fact, over the 90 days between today and the election, watch for him to descend into madness.

“Republican unity”? What Republican unity would that be?

What’s this bullshit about Republican unity

— coming out of their convention in Milwaukee?

Every Republican nominee or their family since 1988 (with the exception of Dole’s family, who remain silent) DID NOT SPEAK OR ENDORSE TRUMP.

That’s Bush I’s family, Bush II, McCain’s Family, Mitt Romney or even his previous V.P., Mike Pence.

The Republican convention was a cult gathering. 40 members of his administration, as well as people who worked in the Trump companies and his own family members, have warned us of what a danger Trump is to this country. That’s not political unity to me. That’s more like the unity shown to Jim Jones at his retreat in South America.

There are currently three types of Republicans.

  1. Those who never joined the cult,
  2. Those who left the cult to proclaim that Trump is a danger to this country (i.e. Pence, Michael Cohen, the 40 Trump cabinet members, etc.) and
  3. Those who proclaimed he was a danger to this country and then joined the cult later (Graham, Rubio, Vance etc.).

Oh, my . . . what are they hiding?

Nimarata Randahawa ran for office as “Nikki Haley”

Piyush Jindal ran as “Bobby Jindal”

Raphael Cruz ran as “Ted Cruz”

James Donald Bowman ran as “J.D. Vance”

Barack Hussein Obama ran as “Barack Hussein Obama”

Kamala Harris is running as “Kamala Harris”

Why do Republicans hide their heritage while attacking others about their heritage?

Trump supporters really do want to kill those who disagree with them

Steve Bannon’s War Room Podcast has been the think tank behind the most radical and dangerous of Donald Trump’s fantasies about punishing liberalism and engaging in Civil War.

So it’s no surprise that Kevin D. Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, went on to the war room to outline his plans for Project 2025. Even though Bannon was in prison and couldn’t be on this episode, his acolytes let their freak flags fly. Roberts summarized his plans to radically destroy the American civil service and staff it with tens of thousands of Trump loyalists.  But his mind was not on the details. It was on the strategic template of the ideological struggle. He believed there is a war about to break out between democracy and Trumpism. He said, “… we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

For all the hubbub about this comment, I see the exact signs outlined in Malcolm Nance’s  book, “They Want to Kill Americans.”

Throughout the tumultuous summer of 2020, Nance monitored right-wing extremist websites and forums. Most were extremely giddy at the prospect of Trump’s re-election. However, within these discussions was always an element of paramilitary planning. Many Trump supporters were the guys with guns who had fantasies taken straight out of the 1980s movie “Red Dawn.”  They dreamed of fighting special forces-like gun battles and raids on their “Communist” enemies.  All that summer, there were indications that armed revolution was being planned. People were encouraged to go to “tactical training schools” and get the “skills” they needed for what was coming.

We need to understand that these Trump supporters are serious — if he loses in 2024, they WILL — THEY REALLY WILL — kill anyone whom they identify as having now supported Trump.
