Why would Biden need to force the DOJ to pursue Trump? It was Trump himself that forced the DOJ to pursue Trump.
Multiple entities tried to get him to return the documents without issue over and over and he wouldn't. I guess you could say that Trump has weaponized his stupidity against himself.
Last ten pages has been a lot of “my politicians scandal is fake news but your politicians scandal is definitely real” and it’s both exhausting and boring. Also, RIP Unabomber guy is here.
1) That this entire thread/message board is (incredibly repetitive) and exhausting and boring: Of course. And I'm part of the problem.
2) That there is much, if any, equivalency - as it seems you might be implying - between one side's claims and the other's: BS.
Moreover, I am reasonably confident that if it turned out that Biden is EVERY BIT as corrupt as Tucker wants to tell the world, most non-Trumpers would say, "Sure, pay the price. Nation of laws. I'll vote for some other D (for now)."
On the other hand, the R party is utterly incapable of deciding that Trump shouldn't be their leader. And sure, it's incredibly repetitive to note that. But it's also, after all of these years and evidence, INCREDIBLE that it's STILL true. And amazing, and horrible, and dangerous, and...

Because when it comes to retrieving confidential presidential documents only one person can make that determination, and it’s not the DOJ.

this is true, and one reason I always argue that Trump is the most gifted US politician since FDR.

And I'll never be a fan of using a word like "gifted" to describe a guy like Trump. A discerning person sees that you're not complimenting him, of course. But a non-discerning person may not. And it just seems a shame not to save "gifted" for positive, or at least neutral, things.
Was Hitler a gifted politician? Stalin? I guess so. Do we want to call them that?

sure we can call them gifted. Understanding politics is key... understanding how people decide who their leaders will be is important. The ability to talk well, the ability to define terms, the ability to name an enemy, the mystery of charisma....these are all things trump has great gifts in, and has used them better than any other politician in recent history.
democracy doesn't pick the best of us to lead us....the only reason democracy works so well is that it lets us fire the bad ones. Trump is trying to eliminate that last part of course. But a gifted politician gets elected in democracies. Understanding that is important.

Gee, "thanks" for the unnecessary and condescending-sounding "lesson," agip.
Of course, you also could have simply said, "He says what the deplorables want to hear, and they support and vote for him."
And the more I think about it, the more I wonder if - semantic squabbles aside - the word "gifted" really applies? Is it possible that Trump does not have "special gifts" of any kind and that rather it's just a perfect storm? Perhaps he's JUST a disgusting, unfiltered, blowhard rich guy lie factory who decided to get into politics at a time when he'd have a large receptive audience? (although, admittedly, this may have been true at ALL times in US history)
Maybe he's not particularly "gifted," maybe he just happens to be the first example of someone that gross and frank being willing to run for office? And it worked. But that's not to say that it wouldn't have worked at many other times in our history, and thus he doesn't get "credit" for "good timing," or other such senses of awareness and skill with which you're inclined to compliment him.

I think Trump is gifted but he’s also a successful due to the times we live in. Republicans lost the culture war and they’re angry about it and they want someone to be mean to the liberals.

Speaking of culture wars, first they had to keep adding letters and symbols to the non-hetero acronym. And now, it appears that they keep adding stripes and new colors - and now ANGLES - to the colorful flag.

I condescend therefore I am. sorry if I got the tone wrong but I don’t think I’m wrong.
Interesting question if trump would have been success at another time. I think so. He has thrived in America for 50 years of changing spirits and economy conditions. He knows how to sell. His message might have been different at a different time but he would have had success.
with one caveat…he came at a time when the parties lost their power to filter out the evil ones. He would have been canned by them in some periods before doing much damage.

Can't they just STOP ??? I'm voting for Trump !!!
How can you say that? They’re so disadvantaged, and discriminated against. Even the fat ones, like General Miley. :-)

What does this mean?
It means that when it comes to executive privilege, only the sitting president can make that determination, thus the Biden White House was the only entity that could authorize the raid on Mar-A-Lago and then lied about their involvement:
President Biden signed off to have the FBI examine hundreds of pages of classified documents that former President Trump turned over to the National Archives.
Here's yesterday's story about Trump's stupidity in the right wing New York Post. Trump rejected the advice of the lawyer he paid 3 million dollars to represent him. DOJ likely would not have pressed charges if Trump just cooperated even a little bit. to
