Is the Biden Administration Trying to Start an Insurrection?
If the Mar-a-Lago raid proves anything, it is that the establishment still fears Donald Trump. What might the political class do yet to preserve its power?

There should be no tut-tutting about the unprecedented FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. It is exactly what it looks like: a show of force against the opposition leader by the head of state and his personal bodyguards. If this happened in any other country, it immediately would be denounced as the act of a dictator. But since it is being done by Joe Biden, the putative leader of Our Democracy™, we are being told to “wait and see” whether this extraordinary action was justified as the Left does a war dance.
This raid is an unequivocal travesty for democracy. It will not “lower the temperature” in our fracturing republic, as Biden once promised to do. To the contrary, it will bring us further along to a boiling point, inflame deep and bitter divisions, and make a hellish descent into violent unrest more likely. It cannot but provoke a large part of the country, and solidify a conviction among them that they are living under the boot of a despotic occupation.
And for what? So that a failing, unpopular president and his base can get their jollies?
Trump supporters know the Left hates Trump, that they regard him as a latter-day Hitler, and that they have spent the past six years anxiously searching for one pretext or another to throw him in prison. After years of fruitless and unhinged “walls are closing in” speculation, there is just no way that Trump could be prosecuted now without arousing deep and well-founded suspicions of political retribution.
The outrageous East Germany optics of the Mar-a-Lago raid show, at best, a careless if not malicious insensitivity to that reality. They are a clear indicator that this raid is politically motivated and not, as the Stalinists tell us, about making sure “no one is above the law.”

But times have changed. Americans have received a foretaste of this scenario for years from the Stasi-like shock-and-awe tactics the FBI has employed with increasing regularity against the Democratic Party’s enemies. Except this time, they’re going after a former president, a man who received 73 million votes in the last presidential election and who, barring improper interference in the political process, is likely to run again and quite possibly defeat the incumbent in a rematch.
Nothing like this has ever happened before in the United States. It simply is not done. If we are to infer a motive for the raid from the effect that it is likely to have, we can suppose only that the Biden regime wants to radicalize the Right, that they are trying to make the bugbear of right-wing “domestic extremism” into a reality.

Could be, but what they have succeeded in doing is to get the Trump campaign started with a BIG boost!

More like baiting into one.

Yep... wish they would do a re-take of that recent CPAC preference poll. Their political attack dogs have only galvanized Trump's support and resolve.

The Biden regime IS an insurrection.

Sow the wind of insurrection, and they might reap the whirlwind of a civil war...

The Biden regime IS an insurrection.
:yowsa: In every possible way!
