I was just thinking about this, there’s only a certain generation who really remembers her and is part of their make up when it comes to culture

What makes me think this is believable is that if it were purely political, there’s no way they would have done this at the same time they just passed major legislation. It totally dwarfed that and ripped it from the headlines.

They should have definitely explained things. Even a press conference if they felt a raid on a former president was warranted.

Btw, they’re now trying to get the media and dems to stop calling it a “raid.” It’s a little too late  for that!

I think she slowed way down when she became a mom. She also had two pretty massive movie flops. But a music career just didn’t seem all that important to her.

True.

I just think it plays into his hands. It’s better yo have a long drawn out fight that no one cares about. It just seems there’s a push to get him convicted of something so he can’t run again.

I really, really liked Prometheus. Covenant felt a little too much like horror shtick.

Democrats really wanted Trump to win the primary because he’d be so easy to defeat in the general election. How’d that work out?

But what's the gain from this "witch hunt" here.

The Dems had a chance to be singing from the rooftops about their bill that they passed and perhaps Biden could then get something in about student loans later this month, which could give them some positive stuff to talk about going into the midterms. This raid buries all of that in the news cycle.

If this is a conspiratorial witch hunt, what are they actually gaining from it?

I have no idea what they are playing at, but I do know raiding the house of a former President for some bullshit stuff that is probably not even illegal, is not normal. You didn't see that in America. You don't see it in Europe. You see it in places like Mexico and Brazil.

They could have subpoenaed him, or did a special investigation. They didn’t. For what they’re after it doesn’t seem this was worth it. It’ll only fire up his base.
