    First of all it wasn't a "raid", it was a court appointed search for missing documents which there was a reasonable reason to believe were illegally being withheld.

    Second, with the talk and posture of the Trumpers and their rants about shooting anyone they don't agree with, including FBI agents, police, and government officials, I would have used a tank.

    You'd think Judge Jeanine Pirro would understand that, but it doesn't fit the narrative FOX News wished to convey

    Reports are they showed up in suits and ties instead of FBI jackets and were very discrete.
    Supposedly few people even knew they were there until Donny blabbed all about it with his big mouth.
    He's using it for fund raising.

    The IRS wants to hire 87,000 agents. willing to carry a gun and use deadly force. They have since retracted that statement.

    Wrong.
    "So where did the 87,000 number come from? A Treasury Department May 2021 report estimated that the injection of new funds via the legislation would enable the IRS to incrementally hire around 86,852 new staff by 2031. But most of those hires would neither be for new positions nor for the roles of IRS enforcement agents. New staff would be added in increments of about 7,000 to 12,000 people."

    on a number of occasions it has been on and in the news. But some outlets will not report it. Or will report it as the Republicans saving money that the Democrats want to spend. Not going into the negative affects that their votes create.

    Look at the Republican fight against the Democrats infrastructure Bill. And now the same Republicans are taking credit for the infrastructure projects in their home states. Not mentioning that they opposed it and voted against it.

    HEY EVERYBODY. A JURY JUST AWARDED NEARLY $ 1 BILLION TO THE SANDY HOOK VICTIMS IN THEIR DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINT SLIMEBALL ALEX JONES! Will they ever see the money? Who knows. The reptile has been busily transferring his assets to his wife and filing for bankruptcy. That shouldn't hold back lawyers worth their salt. Couldn't happen to a more deserving lowlife!

    I was surprised to learn that both parents are free. It was attempted murder, and not only against each other but against anyone who happened to pass by. I thought U.S. justice was harsher. I see that I was wrong.

    Florida has "stand your ground" laws... If you feel threatened you are allowed to empty your clip in the general direction of the threat.

    Basically the same as the wild west...
