Watching this on Steve Lookner's Agenda Free TV. This seems to be only going on at Omar's DC home. I'm not sure what that means. High strangeness, indeed.

Lookner just now reiterated that there is no indication that her Minneapolis home is likewise being searched. Wouldn't that be the usual protocol if it were a broad search? It seems they are looking for something fairly specific related to that particular property.

#17 Under the Wide Net Scenario, perhaps the feds simply couldn't get a judge to sign off on a warrant In Minnesota.

#19 Isn't the popular story that "she married her brother"
in order to facilitate his immigration status, not hers?

On the Reuters feed, Feds are bringing out boxes and putting them in a gray van right now

42 Hardtack and lukewarm coffee isn't quite the treat a McMuffin & hash browns (and Shamrock Shake) are.

A question of curiosity for both pro and anti Trump DR scenesters:

Where do you place Trump as a president in relation to Nixon?

#45 Interesting. Nixon did kill plenty of children in his secret bombing campaigns in Laos and Cambodia, though. I think he denied such campaigns even existed to his dying day, so far as I can recall.

52/53 I'd have to give Nixon the edge over LBJ. Nixon was a more expansive thinker, at least, and had a more interesting personality.
Trump is so chaotic and bombastic; he exhausts me. I don't hate him,though (I try to avoid becoming emotional over politicians). I'd say LBJ & Trump are roughly equal intelligence; I'd wager Nixon exceeds both by twenty IQ points. None of them are blue ribbon piggies in the ethics department.

61 Agreed. Plus, like Trump, he was a cartoonish blowhard. The difference is that LBJ wasn't covered 24/7 in the media with a magnifying glass. If he had been president in the age of the internet, he'd come off pretty much like Trump.

66 Yeah, back in 2016, I figured things were about to get weird, but I didn't think Trump would be such a bad sport. I thought he'd keep popping up on SNL and such, maybe engage in pageantry reflective of his 80s-90s quasi hip hop personality, and all that. I thought he'd have a lighter mood. I was wrong on those counts, but not so wrong that I voted for him.

68 I was still in elementary school when Nixon flew away in the helicopter. I remember watching it on TV with my parents. It's funny that our elementary school teachers would talk to us so much about Watergate for two years - a bunch of kids. I sort of formed my grown up opinion of Nixon from reading some of his own works, along with Hunter S Thompson's book on the 1972 campaign, All the President's Men, and such. If you've never read Thompson's obit of Bixon, I highly recommend it. It's both brilliant and brutal.
