If they jail Trump, what’s next?
American Thinker ^ | 04/20/2024 | Clark Wren

The insiders, the elites, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, are hoping our Soviet-styled Department of Justice (“show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime”) will keep rolling forward and steam-roll Donald Trump.

Although the Trump base is solidly with him and has stopped listening to anything the legacy press tries to manipulate us to believe, the Department of Justice has the power to incarcerate Trump if that is the will of the court.

What then? The elephant in the room is precisely what the talking heads won’t say. We have a constitutional crisis right now. Refusal to acknowledge the elephant doesn’t make it go away. A constitutional crisis, though, is not necessarily a bad thing.

It does, however, require people to think outside of the box, which makes most people uneasy. Nevertheless, when there is a great distance between what you are being told and what you are actually thinking, then change becomes inevitable and necessary. But it is not the change for which the insiders, the elites, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, are aiming.

The institutions, which are now firmly controlled by the elites, are not supposed to run this country. We are supposed to run this country. Again, the message we get bombarded with almost daily from the media has little effect on Trump’s base, but everyone is not in Trump’s base. There are many who are undecided, and an election can be determined by razor thin margins.

What Trump is claiming while he stands trial in New York is exactly what is happening, “election interference.” To put it another way, anything that can be done to rig the 2024 presidential election is being done.

The insiders, the elites, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, also want to send a powerful message here: If you ever defy us, we will do to you what we are doing to Trump.

But when the institutions run this country and the people don’t, we become subjects — not citizens.

Only a blind person can’t see at this point that the US is under occupation of a hostile regime adverse to Americans’ interests.

So expect very bad things previously unimaginable. Spying, deplatforming TikTok, Telegram, Twitter and Free Republic.

Make plans.

If They Jail Trump What's Next?

Court documents will be read to Trump without need for the lights during the sudden power outage. They can be seen clearly by the light of the burning cities.

A few people around me keep insisting that if this happens, the revolution will break out. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Never mind dumpster diving - these folks are dredging the landfill for a speck of anything to get rid of Trump and his supporters.

When they come to take you to the FEMA death camps don’t let them take you alive.

And take as many of them along with you as possible.

What is electing a person by Acclamation?

As per Robert’s Rules of Order, there may not be any need for a formal vote when only one candidate is running for a position that only has one available vacancy. Therefore, unlike an Executive Officer election, the candidate is not running against other candidates.

However, many bylaws will explicitly request that the position up for election go to ballot, and a formal vote is required in this case. This formal vote for a single candidate is what we call a Candidate Acclamation.

In these elections, the candidate is essentially running against themselves, and the members of the organization decide (in a “Yes”/”No” fashion) whether the candidate should have the position they are running for.

Other than the design of the ballot and the voting method, Candidate Acclamation elections are the same as an Executive Officer election (since they are just an Executive Officer election with only one candidate). However, when it comes to government elections, the single-candidate situation is quite rare. It is highly uncommon for federal or provincial/state elections to only have a single candidate running for the position. A single candidate is more likely at the municipal level (particularly for smaller municipalities).

Possible Voting Methods for a Candidate Acclamation
Because the correct way to run a Candidate Acclamation involves asking the voters whether they approve or disapprove of the candidate, the voting method used should always be a plurality, set up with one vacancy and two options. This allows you to have a “Yes”/”No” response from your voters.

Occasionally, a Candidate Acclamation is run as a forced acclamation. In this situation, the election is set up like a regular Executive Officer election using the plurality voting method, but with the single candidate as the listed option, and no possibility to abstain. If you set up your Candidate Acclamation this way, there is no way for members to say that they feel that the candidate is unfit for the position. This may impact your turnout, as voters who feel passionately that the candidate is unfit for the position but cannot convey it may simply choose not to vote at all over voting for the candidate.

Common Ballot Features Used in Candidate Acclamations
Common features used when building a ballot for a Candidate Acclamation include:

The “Abstain” option, which allows for voters to abstain from voting on the Candidate Acclamation ballot question.

Allowing for write-ins, which provides an alternative route for voters who don’t approve of the candidate listed for the Candidate Acclamation.

Mike Adams expects the takedown of the internet to be accomplished by shutting down the DNS servers. That way, the infrastructure is still up and running, but you can only communicate using IP addresses.

He is promoting Bastyon.com and his version, brighteon.io, which are peer to peer systems.

Those can be used, but I would encourage people to also start making lists of the sites they want to use and the IP address for those sites so you can still sort of function on the web if DNS is disabled.

Whether they jail Trump or not, the choice is the same. We can either throw off the shackles of oppression or learn to live under the boot, own nothing, and be “happy.”

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Me too and don’t forget the FR old meme: there’s gun behind every tree, every blade of grass.

Trouble is: only people on the left seem willing to use them.

If they jail Donald Trump over this case, the United States is over. I mean after all that Biden did, both Clintons, Obama... I mean, I don't think anyone can articulate the crime here. Campaign finance violation? Are you kidding me?

Trump makes decisions based on what is good for the country. All Democrats, and most Republicans have agendas that run counter to that. That is Trumps real 'crime'.
