From the article:

“Will those on the Right finally wake up and realize where, exactly, our attempt to seize an unsustainable faux-moral high ground has gotten us?“

I know plenty of semi-wealthy and wealthy individuals who are high up on their moral horse and refuse to vote for Cheeto Hitler.

Wonder if they are prepared to pay unrealized capital gains taxes, sell their holdings to pay said taxes and then pay 40% capital gains taxes on top of it?

Nothing like self-righteous preening.

Oh, and “democracy”.

One thing is certain: We cannot -- in any way -- count on "the opposition party" to do any thing productive -- any thing that will produce a positive result -- as they are scared out of their panties and paralyzed with fear of the Democrat/Communist Party Left.

Oh, sure. Most members of "the opposition party" talk a good game, but when it comes to actually accomplishing something as important as, literally, saving our Republic and defending our Constitution from the ever more powerful and incessant attacks on Liberty by the ruthless Democrat/Communist Party Left, we see just how bereft of courage, conservative principles and, clearly, energy are our elected representatives.

A pitiful lot of them at such a crucial time of America's history that we've voted in to defend our founding principles.

I think the Democrats will rue the day this conviction happened. If we continue to hammer at the theme of the erosion of individual rights and tick off the list of things the Democrats have done, this whole process will backfire.

I have yet to find one person who knows that in certain states, illegals are allowed to vote in Federal elections. The GOP needs to make this known to everyone and tie it to Biden’s refusal to close the border. Either the GOP is inept or they are in cahoots with the bad guys.

Make noise, people, make noise.

Where we are...

“The imperative of this late hour of the American republic, in order to even attempt to rebalance our wildly off-balance pendulum, is to respond to the Left as it has acted toward us: by wielding political and prosecutorial power to reward friends and punish enemies—to reward our side’s forces of civilizational sanity and punish their side’s forces of civilizational arson—within the broad confines of the rule of law.

If we want to get back to “neutrality,” at this perilous point, it’s going to first take bloodying up some noses.”

A donation to the Trump campaign will speak to the fear that liberals have regarding Trump. I am going to donate specifically to protest this blatant violation of law.

Your last point is spot on. Make no mistake about it: The Swamp is firmly in control.

Even if we succeed in getting Trump elected we are a long way from any type of restorative actions. The entire Swamp will be mobilized to work against him on every level, and he won’t have much in the way of help from the gutless GOP.

The country is in a very bad place right now. Remedies are a long way off.

Charlie Kirk playing a Rush Limbaugh clip predicting all of this lawfare. One of Rush’s last shows.

Red states should tell the feds you cannot collect income taxes in this state…and take no money from the feds and no regulations…

Yes, but Republicans have a way of turning victories into defeats. I’d feel better if the Senate would replace McConnell now with maybe Rand Paul. And who may replace turncoat Johnson in the House? And someone needs to put a fire under Jordan and others that talk up a storm but never produce any actions.

“I think the Democrats will rue the day this conviction happened.”

***********

They don’t rue anything they do because they never have to face any consequences. Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.

And the GOP doesn’t do a thing to impose any semblance of accountability or lower the boom on the Dems when they’re in a position to.

This travesty produced a big reward for the Dems and will only serve to encourage more aggression by them.

They specialize in it. Its the only thing they consistently do.

Because that’s what they want. All the perks, none of the responsibility.

The Constitution died on 11/02/2020 and was buried 01/07/2021.

Yesterday’s verdict was just a remembrance by the evil scum who ended America.

If they mean the R wing of the Uniparty, forget about it.

Well that and they know that gullible GOP voters won’t hold their feet to the fire.

The GOP is infested with RINOs and that’s on the voters who keep voting on the basis of rhetoric instead of results. They need to get a clue and start demanding accountability. But that’s probably not going to happen.

When I saw this was from newsweek then I was so sure this guy was going to rant about what a fair trial this was. Pleasantly surprised that is not how the article went.

Their long march has paid off for them. One by one their victories, and their power, accumulated.

As much as I hate to say it, those with the most determination to win usually do. Unfortunately, most conservatives just want to be left alone but that’s not going to cut it going forward. Yesterday should have been a game changing wake up call. We’ll see.
