See, Watergate was one thing - in order to win an election, members of one political party committed a crime against members of another party. It never expanded beyond that - "did the President of the United States order/consent to a break-in at the Democratic National Committee." "What did the President know and when did he know it?" Compare and contrast:

I don't think the records raid is part of some grand strategy. I think the records raid is "I mean yeah we know the dude has classified information in a location foreign nationals have ready access to at any time of the day or night in direct contravention of clear and established law so despite the fact that this is gonna be the most grievous action ever taken against a former president, WE HAVE TO."

I personally am loving that the Jan 6 committee now has Alex Jones' texts, and that this supposedly upsets Tucker Carlson a great deal. The vibe I'm getting is that the country is starting to wake up, hung over, pukey, going "well shit I guess I gotta clean this place up."

I had to watch some Fox News last night. MFers were apoplectic. They had no arguments, they had no rational objections, but they had a lot to say about Hunter Biden and the "praetorian guard" for some reason. Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, even Matthew Fucking Whitaker. I let an hour of angry white men acting like you'd walked in on them while they were taking a shit and then you refused to leave. I get that the Right is s00000000000per mad right now? But they sure as shit aren't coherent about it.
