So, no, not cooperating. And his daughter in law is ignorant.

But this raid is small potatoes on a national scale.
Tsk, tsk.
Guess you missed the MSNBC memo.
Do not call it a raid.
And even if it is small it grows when reasons are buried, just like potatoes.

Gee, are you suggesting this is a big deal and Trump is not cooperating?
Until we know what was in the warrant it could be a very big deal.
Trump can release it any time he wants.
Why would Trump do that, given his ego?
To show it was an inappropriate use of police power, or the show that there was no basis for the warrant and he was being targeted for political reasons.
It is up to the FBI to make a case. Trump is innocent until found otherwise.
Since the FBI has meddled in the last two presidential elections it is hardly surprising Trump will let the FBI hang itself this time.
The raid was high stakes gamble, so high Biden was kept in the dark.
But if the raid turns up nothing another Trump presidency is entirely possible.
I hope you understand that.

They successfully meddled in 2016. Without their one-sided public statements, Clinton would have won.

We've now put to rest the notion that Trump is cooperating, I see. Clever of you to drop a losing gambit early for a change.

I suspect the raid was low risk.

They went in knowing what they wanted and knowing Trump had it.

Your anti-law-and-order fervor is noted. Want to join MTG and call for defunding the police?!

As for stupidity of Americans, I know people doing numerology readings for couples at $3300 a pop. And in almost as amazing a skill, I know people assisting on NYC pre-school admissions for $50,000 per child.

America needs you, Harry Truman
Harry, could you please come home?
Things are looking bad
I know you would be mad
To see what kind of men
Prevail upon the land you love

 
America's wondering, "How we got here?"
Harry, all we get is lies
We're getting safer cars
Rocket ships to Mars
From men who'd sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power


We'd love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways
Call a spade a spade
Just like you did back in the days
When you would play piano
Each morning walk a mile
Speak of what was going down
With honesty and style


America's calling, Harry Truman
Harry, you know what to do
The world is turning round
And losing lots of ground
Oh, Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Oh, woah, woah, woah


America's calling, Harry Truman
Harry, you know what to do
The world is turning round
And losing lots of ground
So, Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Oh!
Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?
Harry!
Harry, is there something we can do to save the land we love?

 A 22-year old man was issued a citation in relation to the case for allegedly concealing the death of another person, according to a May police press release. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor, according to a report from the Lincoln Journal Star.


At least one reasonable person in this case

If the DOJ makes a high stakes gamble, they probably have a good hand.  Especially when searching the home of a former POTUS.

BTW, your Maker of American Greatness invoked the fifth this morning.  Since he says he didn't do anything wrong, and I totally believe him, care to speculate why he would need to invoke the fifth?

Entirely possible?

You're funny.  We are working in a "foregone conclusion" mode right now.

Of course, if you could back up your opinion that asserts that "Folks like Black athletes only as long as they do nothing but entertain", with some objective facts, then maybe you have an issue worth discussing.

Jackie Robinson

Bill Russell

Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali

Dick Allen

Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul Jabber

Curt Flood

Tommie Smith

John Carlos

Mahmoud Abdul-Raif

Craig Hodges

Colin Kaepernick

LeBron James


https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/oct/05/white-sports-fans-nfl-black-athletes-race-protest

You have not shown that to be a reflection of most modern fans POV..

It's just a list, mostly reflecting attitudes from decades ago.

James and Kaepernick are from decades ago?

Griner.?

As usual



Did the overwhelming majority of Americans condemn those 3?

Uh...nope.

Keep spinning. You've lost the thread. You made an assertion and you haven't backed it up.

It's what you do.
