That’s that.
Update – Well, I’ve had an hour or two to think about this. I guess it should be intersting to see how the country reacts to this kangaroo court decision. I know how anyone on the Right feels. But it should be interesting to see if anyone reveals himself as a RINO. If any of the primary candidates tries to use this conviction to get back in the spotlight that should be a wonderful disqualification from ever getting Republican votes again.
If nothing else, this should boost Trump’s fundraising asymptotically. Listening to that fat piece of crap Alvin Bragg talking was nauseating. Hopefully he and the judge are both sucked down into the lowest levels of Hell by Satan as soon as he gets the chance. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to let their talents go to waste. That kind of human filth needs to be recognized.
Word is that Trump’s donation site got so many contributions that it crashed the site.
(Temporarily.)
Just remember folks, if they can railroad a multi-billionaire developer, popular TV star, powerful politician – they can get you too.
The rule of law be damned! There is power to consolidate.
“The rule of law be damned.” That sums it up.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to… Read more »
“We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.” Hopefully we are reaching awareness of the real situation. Maybe if Joe Biden is “reelected” we will realize that business as usual isn’t going to work.
While there is no doubt that today is momentous; not only historically as the day a former president became a convicted felon, but also marking a changed nation by doing so under such frivolous political reasonings, I still don’t see this as “The Day it All Shifts.” Too many folks not as plugged in to politics and current affairs as most of us are will listen to MSM tell them Orange Man bad and move on with their day. By and large, many are more worried about the cost of groceries and gas, the kids next dental appointment and if… Read more »
Arthur, I agree. Most people aren’t us. They are too busy with their lives to pay much attention. Let’s just say that for those who pay attention a Rubicon of sorts has been crossed. Naked force is now the way things are done, with no window dressing for the squeamish. I guess if I were going to pick “The Day it All Shifts,” I’ll go with the day they call the 2024 presidential election. If Joe Biden is declared the winner I’ll be done with a lot of things.
Done Deal before the charges were even brought. Cherry-picked district and juror pool. If he had escaped conviction it would have been a symbol of divine intervention.
Machine politics certainly simplifies the mechanics of fake justice.
And the judge – also hand picked and the finest money can buy!
