The First Entry
The ghost of bygone days is whispering into his right ear, "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible. This is America."

boxes of files
secured by the FBI
as fans shout, Trump 2024
FYI: NBC News, August 8: "FBI search at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home tied to classified material, sources say"
Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even broke into my safe!

All the President's Men ...
the murmurs of "that's it"
rippling

FYI: All the President's Men, 1976 award-winning film about the Watergate scandal, was selected in 2010 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

back and forth on the fence

on the other, Trump 2024
FYI: Business Insider, August 13: The far right is calling for civil war after the FBI raid on Trump's home. Experts say that fight wouldn't look like the last one.
The Republican party has long portrayed itself as the defender of "law and order," but the aftermath of the raid has seen GOP lawmakers like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene call for defunding the FBI.
Greene has also made references to "civil war" on social media as her Republican colleagues compare the FBI to the Gestapo and depict the raid as the type of thing that only happens in "third world" countries.
Meanwhile, pro-Trump internet channels have seen a spike in talk of civil war since the raid.
