This classified material?
That’s not even the worst of it. Several rooms full of documents were found at his property and, though everyone seems to focus on the toilet one, IMO the worst is the one of a storage room full of classified documents plus a scanner/printer.
Remember, they played an audio recording of him claiming to show classified documents that weren't declassified to his workers who don't have clearences.
https://youtu.be/inVJF0Dr8mo
He outright admits that the documents aren't declassified, while knowing he was being recorded, and reads them to people not classified for the documents he's showing them supposedly. (About 1:20 if want to skip is where he starts admitting to a criminal offense)
It's real. The US is on an extreme downward spiral and MAGA plays violin whilst the country burns.
The weird thing is I think we all knew the USA was doomed but I personally didn't expect to see the downfall in my lifetime and not on a speedrun like it is now. Crazy times
The best part is that this was known long before he was elected the second time.
Any one who goes “I was lied to!” is straight-up just an idiot who regrets that they had to feel a consequence. At best they’re just mind-bogglingly ignorant of how the world functions which is no excuse.
Now here's the really fun question: why are you only just now hearing about this?
Just do your best to keep your country from joining us. The AfD sure seems to be gaining speed like our tea party did.
My dude, that was the genesis of the first Nazi party. Nazis weren't monsters that crawled out of some portal to Hell, they were people.
All I was saying is that "Nazi" does not exclusively mean "vicious racist". Sometimes it means "gullible people looking for someone to blame for their current problems".
what was the republican defense on this one? i dont remeber. wasnt it just like a stab back like "hunters laptop though!"
Hunter’s laptop, Hillary’s emails again, but it was mostly that Biden had some documents, too. Trump shouted that all presidents do this, and that what Biden had was worse, and his followers believed that without looking into any context (like all Biden had was some memos, copies of personal notes, etc, and that Biden immediately turned everything over and invited the feds to his home to look for more).
The scale was nowhere near the same, Biden hadn’t intentionally removed classified documents or tried to keep them from the feds, but none of that mattered. Trump saying he was entitled to the documents because everyone else did it was enough for his followers.
Please tell me this is fake...
Sadly, it is real.
e: and in case anyone reading this doesn’t get the implication, notice where the only power outlet in this room is (the white cable leading across the ceiling and along the piping to the office printer, which is the whitish thing at the right of this photo).
It’s basically the only thing besides boxes of documents in this storage room. It was plugged in and being used, not stored. This is so much worse than the toilet photo, yet everyone I show this to hasn’t seen it.
e2: Oh, and don’t forget, this was the ‘holdout’ room, to which maintenance supposedly ‘lost’ the key the first couple of times the feds showed up, then right when they got their ‘no, really’ warrant, it was supposedly flooded by a faulty pool pump. That’s this room. Fuck, in all the insanity, I’d forgot that last bit.
Yes that's one of the actual pictures from the indictment they brought against him. He apparently had like 300 different documents of varying levels of classified status. There's a couple more iirc of different places like a bedroom and a ballroom stage too. Basically it seems like he had his goons just hide anything he could get his hands on in random boxes of what were supposed to be just irrelevant personal effects
He was only indicted specifically for like 30 of them but my understanding is they specifically chose ones they were willing to have potentially entirely exposed.
Yep, even crazier, half of the American people thought it was ok and re elected him.
In my eyes, if you didn’t vote against him, you voted for him.
Mathematically, that is the case.
I absolutely believe that the Both Sides Are The Same idea is really, really stupid. How dumb do you have to be to believe that HitlerPig was going to be better at anything than Harris, or any other Democrat for that matter. Or even any other human. He is literally the most prolific traitor in American history, a definitive pyschopath, and hopelessly ignorant in the most basic things.
The problem was that when it came to the Gaza issue, they both WERE kind of the same. Whichever one you voted for might pay some lip service to the genocide, but they were both going to continue to send weapons, bombs, and money to Israel to continue it. Under HitlerPig, it won't end until the Gaza Strip is cleared out, and Kushner is building luxury resorts, hotels, and condos.
Under Harris, there would be a lot more scolding, but it wouldn't have slowed the flow of weapons one bit. In the end, Gaza would still be emptied, and Kushner would still be creating the Jewish Dubai.
"half" is not really correct; I know that's not the point though.
The American people collectively had the power to prevent this, and collectively chose not to. Fortunately for me (an American), collective punishment is a war crime, for now.
It’s insane that he’s not in prison.
It’s insane that he’s not dead.
multiple people tried. The only people on the right I think I have forgiven. They actually beloved what they were sold.
Money doesn’t buy taste, as you learn pretty quick after seeing enough rich people houses.
"We're the party of anti-elites!" "Also we use maid-cleaned bathrooms for document storage, keeping them right under the chandelier."
no the entire archival institute that had to dig up this shit (because it was missing) which he then lied about giving back, trump then got subpoenaed for lying about it.
Yeah no this is literally a criminal conspiracy as far as the government is concerned.
Remember the old days, when the bathroom reading material was a stack of Reader's Digest on the back of the toilet?
I hope he's in there one day tweeting his atrophied brains out on the toilet, and that chandelier drops on his head, and ends him. The only more fitting end would be him choking out during auto-erotic asphyxiation.
