I understand why CNN didn't shut Trump down in the middle of the townhall, but...

    So you were "obviously" talking about Biden when responding to a paragraph about Trump you quoted in which Biden isn't even mentioned?

    In any case Biden returned them without being asked. So I have no idea what you're talking about. The only one who has again and again admitted to stealing them was Trump. Did you pay attention to what I wrote? Trump has ADMITTED he stole them. He literally said "I took them".

    Is that part clear? I hope so, and you don't come in a week or two repeating the same nonsense that the two cases had anything to do with each other.

    Biden had classified documents stored in his garage. Anyone who had access to that garage had access to them including his doped up son.

    "I took them" is not the same as saying "I stole them". English is not your first language?

    To a fluent English speaker "cared" evokes a specific punctual event. To make a general statement, the word "care" (no "d") is usually preferred.

    I am making a statement about the townhall event in a thread about the townhall. You made a general statement to apply what I said as a general rule, not only to all of CNN, but to ALL the MSM.

    You are not required to be a fluent English speaker here, but maybe you should try harder before telling others what they "disagree or not" about.

    Special counsel John Durham has just reported after a 4 year investigation.

    "Durham Report: FBI Had No 'Actual Evidence,' Relied on Trump Opponents"
    "The Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote in a report capping a four-year probe. "Senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information from politically affiliated persons and entities."

    https://www.newsmax.com/us/fbi-special-counsel-john-durham/2023/05/15/id/1119883/

    The frame-up you will forever deny has again been revealed to be exactly that- a frame, designed to take out a political enemy, by the people you seem to think are feeding you truth.
    Given this vendetta is absolutely beyond question, everything and everyone they produce to attack Trump is questionable. If the left is pushing it, it's just more of the same hogwash, feeding the fools who can't or won't think for themselves.

    I wonder- if Vivek Ramaswarmy's campaign gets hot, he will be attacked too- and I'd bet you start finding cause to smear him as well. He would be promoting Trump policies- on steroids......
    As they say, if you flock with the turkeys, you're not gonna fly with the eagles. The turkeys hate the eagles, of course..... because they're turkeys, and Biden is their idol.
    They hate MAGA hats, but they wear tin-foil hats.... at night in bed, so the world doesn't see them and find out they get their instructions from the dark side....

    And whatever they say..... you buy as gospel.

    And “The New York Post” would more appropriately called “The tRaitor tRump Post”. :roll:

    Here’s the difference: tRaitor tRump was asked many times to return the documents. In turn he lied about possessing them, outright refused to give them back (several times) and, had his lawyer lie about their possession. Forcing the Government to get a search warrant to achieve recovery.

    As soon as government documents were found amongst President Biden’s possessions his attorneys were notified and NARA was asked to supervise their recovery.

    I think it is also going to be a matter of how “secret” the documents were. Very different if they are some dooodles made during a meeting with barely legible writing to printed maps of secret nuclear facilities. And it is still bloody suspicious that these documents were suddenly “found”. It really would not take much to plant material in places like those listed

    I hope that what you say is true, but I am not sure. I would like to see an opinion poll of how Americans responded. CNN made a big mistake by choosing an audience of Trump's cult followers. That gave Trump the appearance of being popular.

    Could be but, IMHO in the rush to “peacefully” and cordially transfer power (as we traditionally had, before tRaitor tRump) it’s not hard to imagine mistakes being made. I’m sure before tRaitor tRump it’s happened before and whether by the former executive finding government documents or the government asking for them back it was dealt with expediently and quietly. TRaitor tRump, like so many other protocols he’s broken has changed all that forever. I’m sure there will be much tighter controls on government documents going forward especially during the change of administrations.

    Fake News. The corrupt burying of Hunter's Laptop, in order to rig the election for Illegitimate Joe, was never litigated.

    Okay post that “evidence” here. Everyone keeps telling us how much dirt there is in Hunter Biden’s laptop but no one seems to actually find any

    Searched and unless I want to walk in the cesspool of far right conspiracy theories all I can see are a lot of suppositions and innuendos. Let’s face it - if there was a “there” there why has no charges been filed? I mean E Jean Carroll proved you could bring civil litigation if the criminal courts were not interested

    This is correct. They were all trump supporters. That was probably a condition of him agreeing to the event.

    Yep! Everybody exonerated of any crime. I expect you to open a thread complaining about all the millions in taxpayer money wasted. Assuming, of course, that you are still bothered by wasteful government spending. If not, then never mind.

    Oh! I see. It's a conspiracy! I wonder how much each jury got.

    I think the religious forum might be more appropriate to make your arguments

    Ok

    steal
    verb
    gerund or present participle: stealing
    1. 1.
      take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.
      "thieves stole her bicycle"...
    [Larger font for emphasis]
    Do you ever tire of being wrong every time? I can't believe I am explaining what "stealing" means to a real breathing living thinking human being

    Funny how you cheer when you think there's a mercenary prosecutor joining the vendetta, and then go bla-bal-bla when you find out he is actually independent and didn't.

    There were people found responsible here- for dereliction of duty, and much more- with the intent of undermining a presidential election with false accusations.
    Of course, you didn't notice that side of it? Or you just don't think it matters when it's done in the name of destroying Trump?

    Anyone with common sense knows that when you play a crooked game on your competitor, you justify it being played on you.... So far, the right. having about 87.5 times the moral quality of the left, has chosen not to respond in kind.

    The trial was rigged, not the jurors. And, the jurors only needed to decide by a preponderance of the evidence, not much of a threshold when the judge is an anti-Trumper. We need a fair trial, that's all. Doesn't have to be pro-Trump trial, just fair.

    Did he admit to "take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it."? Easy answer: No.

    Why do you exaggerate so often? Doesn't it get tiring? It is physically impossible to be wrong every time and it is impossible for you to know that.
