FBI executes search warrant at Mar-a-Lago

There may be a bit of a conflict, though, since the forces of law and order have also been under heavy attack from the left, while the right generally gives them praise and support.
...which suggests the forces of law and order have, er, got it about right.....

FBI this morning also searched the homes of former House Speaker Glen Casada, Rep. Robin Smith, freshman Rep. Todd Warner and two current and and former legislative staffers.

They were probably following up on evidence found in the Trump raid.
Follow ups are normal in such cases.
It would be surprising if there was any evidence linking Dems to Trump. So that all the raids were only on fellow Republicans, was to be expected.

Maybe Trump is concerned that some of those documents might vanish from the National Archive?
So he uses the toilet. You man is, if anything, less than creative.

The Left has been using intimidation and violence to advance their agenda for years in America. What's scary is that the Right has finally had enough and is willing to do the same.
That is pathetic defamation, mitigated somewhat by the fact that the claim is transparently stupid.

I I don't think Trump trusted the election process.
Perhaps. For this despicable narcissist, the idea that he actually (and dramatically*) lost the election might well have exceeded his cognitive abilities. But such a cognitive deficiency justifies neither his subsequent activity nor your disgusting apologetics.

The obvious point is that Trump is being victimized. His people will lap it up.
Raiding or investigating a supposed criminal is not victimisation.
If it were, you could not investigate anyone.
Multiple crimes require multiple investigations.
That is not victimisation either.

In this case, as always, a judge signed off on the raid, as is required for a raid on anyone.
for a judge to do that there must be real evidence and clear justification for the raid.
If a judge considered the request to be victimisation, he would not have signed off on it.

Trump is not the victim he is the perpetrator in this case.
Perhaps I should employ "<sarcasm> ... </sarcasm>" tags in the future, but thanks for the feedback. :)

See BLM, burning down businesses, violence, looting stores, enabled by the media. You just don't like the disgusting truth. Violent protest and intimidation is a common technique for Leftist activist in America.

People forget that during the first Trump election Leftist activist paid homeless people to go into Trump rallies to cause trouble.

You noticed the weaponization of the FBI as well against political opponents of the left wing. How many times has raids been used on Republicans thus far?
Instead of asking how many raids have been on Republicans, shouldn't you instead be asking "how many raids have been on people apparently engaged in possibly criminal activity?" Because that IS who is being raided.

From your post:


Tactics

Some black civil rights leaders such as Cecil "Chip" Murray, Najee Ali, and Earl Ofari Hutchinson have criticized the tactics[which?] of BLM as disrespectful and ineffective, with Ali claiming "all they can do is disrupt and make noise."[398] Economist Glenn Loury, while supportive of the fundamentals of the movement, has criticized backlash against "White politicians who state All Lives Matter" and the apparent polarizing effects of the movement.[28]

In his 2018 book The Once and Future Liberal, Mark Lilla criticizes Black Lives Matter as part of his broader left-wing critique of identity politics. Though he agreed with their aims, he called their rhetoric "a textbook example in how to not build solidarity", arguing that the campaign alienates people with their negative attitude toward American society and law enforcement and with their overbearing tactics. He also compared them unfavorably to the civil rights movement leaders, who were "consciously appealing to what we share" instead of emphasizing differences of race and other identities.[449][450]

What's the evidence that justified all the raids that have transpired?

It also is imperative that the political affiliations of the judges that signed the warrants be noted.

Apparently, there is some forthcoming payback after the midterms from Republicans by investigating the FBI itself.

Wow! Why didn't you admit that you do not know how the processes work? You may not ever hear the evidence give to the judge that justified the raid. You rarely ever do. If that evidence is released it will be after formal charges are made at the earliest.

They won't let you look over their shoulders while they work because that would mean that the guilty parties could do so too. When investigating the mafia they do not tip their hand as you would have them do here.

Just as Christian apologists can never be consistent in their God reasoning Trump supporters cannot seem to be consistent in their Trump reasoning.

Violent protest and intimidation is a common technique for Leftist activist in America.

It's a common technique for extremist politics overall, both left and right. However, in practice, at least in the United States historically, the right-wing has used it far more extensively and effectively than the somewhat weaker efforts of the far-left. That's not to say that the left is innocent, but in terms of immediate threats to public order, the left is more of a remote and abstract threat compared to the right. At least at present.

(so predictable -
so pathetic -
so interesting that we can scan @cOLTER's posts for a denunciation of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, etc. to no avail.)​
And you are predictable as well. Why do Jews usually vote Democratic? It’s in their DNA (D)'s branded themselves as "the party that just wants to help people" so who could criticize that??? Therefore, they can do whatever they want and are held to a much different standard.

I have no need to renounce thugs on the Right. If someone asked I would. Bunch of macho rednecks as far as I am concerned.

BLM is a just a shake down movement which detracts attention from the horrific amount of violence among young black men in America. That is to say that statistically the people that black men need to fear the most are other black men.

Did you ever stop and think that some people may have joined the protest for ulterior motives, such as what we also saw in the 60's and 70's during the anti-war protests?

BLM does not teach that violence should be used, although one of the founding members did try and justify its use.

So, discrimination has no effect?
