"It is standard procedure for all FBI search warrants to include a statement regarding the use of deadly force."

“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force,” an FBI spokesperson confirmed to WFLA.com in a statement. “No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter.”

"The legal filing from Trump’s lawyers quotes the policy as saying “Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary….”

"However, the actual use of force policy included on the search warrant states, “Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary….” (Editor’s note: Bold and italics added for emphasis).

"A second flag toted by rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was at one point displayed outside the vacation home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, The New York Times reported Wednesday."

"An “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which has origins dating back to the Revolutionary War but is associated with Christian nationalism and “Stop the Steal” efforts in present day, was seen flying outside Alito’s New Jersey beach home in July and September 2023, according to the Times, which cited neighbors of the justice on Long Beach Island."


"Around the time when the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, also called the Pine Tree flag, was allegedly flying outside Alito’s vacation home, a high-profile Jan. 6 case arrived at the Supreme Court."

"The case, Fischer v. United States, challenges an obstruction law used to prosecute hundreds of rioters for their actions that day, including members of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. Trump also faces the charge in his federal election interference case. The case was heard by the justices in April, and a ruling is expected in coming weeks."

I think we ought to have a contest to see who comes closest to the title of a post by RICH DAVIS in response to a hypothetical case of a liberal SCOTUS judge raising the same flag issues as Sammy Alito.  And I don't mean something akin to what we'd all come to expect from his potential title referencing the investigative and impeachment efforts by the likes of the usual suspects like Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, Nancy Mace, etc but the actual descriptive verbiage of a genuine RICH DAVIS post.

My entry goes as follows: "Putrefying Vomitus, Feces Laden & Swimming in Urine Liberal SCOTUS Judge Raises Upside Down Flag In Front Of Her Home In Response To Trump Victory!"  

Sound about right?...

Yes, you are infatuated with me.  Why else would You have dreams about me? 

I think it is odd, that on some days, you get on here early and start posting about me, right out of the blue.

That gives me the creeps, knowing that you wake up and I'm immediately on your mind.

Maybe that's ok with you, but for me, it is just gross!   

"...it is just gross!"

The only things gross around here are you and the titles of your threads along with the BS you post in them...

You know what you can do with yourself...

Trump has already stated they'll be looking into a role for Haley in his administration. I think that pretty much says it all since you've got to sell your soul to Trump to get anywhere with him.

That said, Haley is as complicit as those Republicans such as Bush/Cheney and others who either remain silent and/or openly support Trump in enabling what Trump's former WH counsel, Ty Cobb, said is the greatest threat to democracy this nation has ever faced...

I wish more people would be cognizant of the damage Trump would do in a second presidency. For example, he can appoint a director of the FBI who, in turn, would redirect agents in all field offices to concentrate their efforts on Trump's border charade instead of doing what they are doing now and that is detecting and preventing election interference from Russia and China, thus furthering their goals of establishing authoritarian rule. And that's just for starters. Under a Trump presidency, Russia rolls over Ukraine and continues its expansion across eastern europe. China, emboldened by Russia's advances, embarks upon military conquest of Taiwan. Trump further acquiesces by withdrawing from NATO, thus allowing authoritarian dictatorships to flourish around the globe. 
Is that the world you want to live in?

"Half say Trump verdict correct, should end campaign: Poll"
The sane half...

OMG, you think Biden SHOULD have interceded and pardoned Trump?! Trump's main argument is it's all Biden's doing and the entire system is rigged so if Biden did intercede in this state-mediated case, that would be further proof Biden is behind it all and he'd only be pardoning Trump for "political" purposes which is what he and the rest of the GOP always say. 

At least the independent voters aren't having any of it:

Finally:

"Former President Trump’s ex-attorney Joe Tacopina":
“This is a state case. This is different than the Jack Smith cases, OK? This is not a federal prosecution. Joe Biden or anyone from his Justice Department have absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan district attorney’s office. They have no jurisdiction over him. They have no contacts with him. They have no control over him,” Tacopina said in an interview on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” with the Rev. Al Sharpton."
