Fuck Andrew Yang.

I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.

1. So when did we start thinking about changing our behavior because of what Magats think? nt

2. This is why you will NEVER be qualified to be President, because you fail to understand the law

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

3. It was not a "raid".

They knocked and had a search warrant.

[MineralMan]

4. No, thanks. He's not my type.

[Mad_Machine76]

5. I see his true colors

are now coming out.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. I think he's part of 3rd Way and wants to run in the general on his own ticket.

[Caliman73]

6. Fundamentally stupid.

Trump is under investigation. His involvement in a plot to overthrow the duly elected president has been clearly presented. He is also accused of mishandling highly classified information, which is a separate crime.

The FBI and DOJ are conducting a legitimate operation.

People need to shut the fuck up if they don't have the facts.

[bottomofthehill]

7. He has always been a dope and a clown.

[flying_wahini]

8. Typical that Yang (like us) don't even know what the FBI was looking for

But took Trumps side without knowing. Yang is a crook.

9. What's your alternative, Andrew?

TFG broke our laws, and he continues to break them every day.

Are you saying he shouldn't face legal consequences because he has a large, radical fanbase?

Do we just let him go his merry way?

10. So many people are so worried

"Oh noes, it will tear the country apart if the former guy is held responsible for his crimes. His supporters won't stand for it!"

So, the more numerous supporters of the president can just go piss up a rope? We're not entitled to see justice done on a criminal because the criminal's rabid supporters won't like it? Where is the country of laws not men I've heard so much about? Because what Yang is talking about isn't the United States.

11. His lazy grifting ass should just go full MAGA at this point.

He shows himself to be a fucking moron with each passing day.

Since he apparently doesn't want to go back to working a real job, just go full MAGA mode and grift those sweet, sweet fascist funds from those brainwashed Fox """News""" viewers. Whatever shred of dignity he may have once had, it's been long gone at this point. Just go full MAGA grifter at this point, dude. We know your lazy ass wants to.

[barbaraann]

12. Andrew, those are the same people who see the *!##@!! Civil War as unjust persecution.

...the same people who see the J6 prosecutions as unjust persecution.

Please take the palm of your hand and slap your face until you can see reality. Thank you.

[AlexSFCA]

13. wow, I never thought he was dumb.

That’s unfortunate as he had potential and meaningful representation of Asian American community in national politics. And now he flushed it down the drain by revealing his true colors - that he is actually not smart.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. He comes off to me as another Elon Musk type.

[AlexSFCA]

19. Elon Musk is not a politician so he gets to say crap

but he is a very talented individual in certain areas even if politically and interpersonally a total dumbo. Andrew Yang has (or had) political ambitions by running for president and everything he says is scrutinized. Democrats hold politicians to a higher standard and rightly so.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. I read somewhere he's planning a 3rd Way 2024 presidential run on a 3rd Party platform.

.

Reminds me of the past Green Party influence a bit.

[rogue emissary]

15. If you disregard trump illegally removed documents.

That the FBI went to a judge seeking a warrant. Obtained the warrant.

He can't be that stupid to think they half assed it or cut corners going after an ex-president.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. He'll skim a few percentage votes from the Dem Pesidential Candidate in 2024.

[treestar]

21. IMO he has a point but only with regard to magats

of course they will go along with what TFG says, so there's nothing genius about this observation.

[mopinko]

22. greasing the skids to hell.

[robodruid1]

23. Does it get him to trial?

Because that's the only thing that matters.
If we don't get a guilty verdict, it helps him.

[Justice matters.]

30. I'm still waiting for an arrest warrant on this one:

[EnergizedLib]

26. Wait

Is he saying that he’s against the raid or that he just feels from an optics standpoint that many cultists will be enraged and are triggered and trying to affirm what TFG claimed to stand for?

I want cuffs on TFG just like everybody else here does. You can’t say the base is unmotivated or is lacking enthusiasm/energy after last night.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Well, he isn't wrong. However, it doesn't mean they are right.

[Sogo]

29. It must be that he doesn't understand law, because

it's not a "math thing."
