1. Classification doesn't matter. They still belong to the US Government.

And, BTW, he just admitted he stole government property.

4. Agree, but it's a separate crime

This is all around theft and obstruction, plus the espionage act. Illegally possessing classified material is another crime that will be added to the indictment when it is written. They had enough to get the search warrant without speculating what was in the documents, now that they know what's in them, I expect that to be part of the indictment.

And indictment is 100% coming now. It will have several charges, including illegally possessing classified materials. Trump will try to focus on that one charge as if it excuses the rest.

2. His responses seems to be weaker and weaker and weaker

And his legal missteps have allowed us to see WAY more evidence than we would have if he'd just kept his big mouth shut.

Live by the sword, die by the sword, Mr. Trump.

3. those things he sees

are cover sheets. There are blank pieces of paper over every thing else. But then again, he wasn't much on reading anyway. Or am I missing something here.

Maybe someone could explain how he has a twitter account that seems to work.

TRUTH SOCIAL was designed to look like TWITTER, but with red checkmarks.

6. The magats are running with the declassification BS again

They seem ignorant that, if actually declassified, Trump would be inflicting tremendous harm on the country by exposing our intelligence sources, methods and assets. Such idiocy.

9. This is likely heading for a competency hearing.

Given Trump's irrational behavior the court will be forced to determine his legal capacity, and whether he can understand the charges and cooperate with a lawyer in preparing a defense. It's starting to look like the only way he'll be able to get out of this without going to prison.

10. Who is writing these posts for him?

We all know he’s not capable of writing a post like this. Too much punctuation and proper spelling of words that he’d never use. Haphazardly? No way. Whoever it is is trying hard to make it appear to be him by improper capitalization, etc. I wonder if he sits down and spitballs with a lackey to come up with this garbage?

11. Not getting the "ego-hit"...

There is nothing more devastating to a malignant narcissist than not getting that constant ego-hit. They're addicted to it like a junkie.

The crime was not in exposing your crime. Are you really that stupid or is it that you know your cult is that stupid?

I want him to go on ranting and raving like a loon. None of it is helping his case… On the contrary, it is more evidence against him. It’s also not playing well with anyone. Elected repugs are hiding, independents are fleeing in horror from all repug candidates and even a fair number of the cultist base sees this is bad for them and want him to shut up.

Every batshit crazy rant he puts out helps us. I’m ok with him handing us the mid-terms.

It encourages me to GOTV even more. I’m up to 7 people I’ll be driving to drop off their ballots and looking for more.

I feel very, very good about this November and can’t wait to vote
