All I really wanted to do was to eat my grilled cheese, watch Grease with the family following the sad news of the wonderful Olivia Newton-John having passed, and deal with the drama of the youngest youngins batch of cookies not turning out just quite right.

But, noooooooo, all political hell had to break loose as the Feds executed a Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant:

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI “raided” his home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida and even cracked his safe, with a source familiar with the matter telling NBC News that the search was tied to classified information Trump allegedly took with him from the White House to his Palm Beach resort in January 2021.

Trump also claimed in a written statement that the search — unprecedented in American history — was politically motivated, although he did not provide specifics.

“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said in a lengthy email
