Dems use the legal system to target the right — yet give the left a pass
New York Post ^ | May 6, 2024, | Glenn H. Reynolds

“For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”

This philosophy, announced by Brazilian President Getulio Vargas in the 1940s, is no longer just the favored approach of Latin American strongmen. It has become the openly practiced strategy of today’s Democratic machine.

Laws that hamper Democrats are ignored. Laws that might be used to hurt Republicans are enforced to — and often well past — the limits of the law.

One need look no farther than the absurd circus-clown show trial (one pundit prefers the term “goat rodeo”) in which the state of New York has gone so far in trying to turn Donald Trump’s (alleged) personal peccadilloes into business crimes that Gov. Hochul had to go out of her way to reassure other businessmen that this was a one-off, and that only Trump would be prosecuted under this novel approach to the law.

To err is human, but to really screw up requires a computer?

Yes, Global management by computers run by un-elected bureaucraps are destroying the rule of law and replacing it with blind Totalitarianism.

We watch in horror as the USA is being destroyed before our eyes.

"That needs to stop, too. But will it?"

The RINO’s are totally behind it.

This is not an issue of philosophical views, this is a power struggle on global scale.

Too many vermin to identify, but they must all be held accountable.

Declining to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton, et al, was a huge strategic error.

It has a new name now - “Critical Legal Theory” - but like so many things on the Left it’s new clothes for an old corpse.

Of course and so it goes in a banana republic. We gave our once great country away folks and probably will never get it back.

The reason Democrats are so emboldened because they are sure they can steal enough elections that they can stay in POWER.

The reason they get so desperate about Trump, as they see him as a threat to their POWER.

The reason they are desperate about POWER is that they know damned well they are worthless in the private sector and enjoy the goodies they can steal.

The hubris of those who choose to criminally use lawfare is that they are blinded to patriots willing to answer back with warfare.

This is not just and internal problem.

It is a global problem.

The rest of the world understands, if the USA fails, they will go down too.

Some old well informed foreign friends have told me that directly.

The Corruption of DC was already in place then.

It has just gotten much worse since.

“That needs to stop, too. But will it?”
No. The goal is Control. The people i feel for the most is the people who were associated with Trump. They are the trophy for the Left. A future warning that this will happen to you if you are against their democracy (mob rule).
The Deep State doesn’t have to prosecute everyone, just enough to display the scope of their reach.
