When you strike at the king, you must kill him
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-18-23 | DrJohn

Posted on 03/18/2023 7:57:59 AM PDT by Starman417

The quote above comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson but there are variations on the theme. The character Omar Little in "The Wire" put it a little differently:

When you come at the king, you best not miss.

In the Truth Social post, Donald Trump says he's learned he is to be arrested on Tuesday by the galactically stupid Alvin Bragg, Manhattan DA.

Donald Trump's Truth Social post.

When Bragg took office he made clear that a good number of crimes were not going to be prosecuted

Among the crimes Bragg said his office would not prosecute: marijuana misdemeanors, including selling more than three ounces; not paying public transportation fare; trespassing except a fourth degree stalking charge, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in certain cases, and prostitution.
He admitted that cops won't bother arresting anyone committing these crimes. That way Bragg can claim that crime is down. See how that works?

Bragg routinely sets murderers loose but he and his office have an perverted obsession with Trump and have for a long time. It appears he's going to take a chance on killing the king. About that- paying hush money is not illegal despite liberal rants to the contrary. Bragg is going to go after Trump for something else:

Prosecutors are weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying the business records of the Trump Organization for how it reflected the reimbursement of the payment to Cohen, who said he advanced the money to Daniels.
Going through the spectacle of a trial for a misdemeanor seems asinine but Bragg is not likely to stop there. He will most likely seek to try to elevate the charges to a felony:

I think being arrested will guarantee Trump 100 million votes.

But Gavin Newsom will have no problem countering with 110 million ballots…

This isn’t Bragg. Bragg pretty much dropped this whole thing, as did his predecessor. This is the Left, Soros and the puppet masters. They won’t/don’t care if Pres Trump and his team mop the floor with Bragg and his team. They’re using Bragg as cannon fodder. And there are a whole lot of folks behind Bragg: Soros, the Left, the Establishment, UNIPARTY, NWO/WEF, etc etc...a ‘who’s who’ of those that want to destroy the US and make us slaves.

But.....

Pres Trump is leading in all but one poll(yes, I know polls are polls). And with all that’s going on in the world, it appears he’s getting stronger.

YES..Biden and his family took money from the CCP, using the widow as a conduit.

Crime still bad and getting worse.

Taxes on the way up.

Over 5,000,000 over the border and that’s just the ones they acknowledge.

Fentanyl pouring over the border.

Now, real video coming out about the kids/slaves working the mines for the Left’s, and quite a few on here, precious toy, electric cars.

Banks collapsing and bailouts to millionaires & billionaires looming.

Economy still tanking and interest rates going up.

And Ukraine is what it is. $100,000,000,000 and counting, down the drain.

I believe in context, the king is the deep state.

I really hope they slap on the cuffs and frog march him. If they get away with it, we are officially dead as a nation and culture. If they dont get away with it.....God have mercy on their souls.

Looks like they’re going to “ham sammich” Trump on Tuesday. That’s the trouble with our so-called “justice” system. YOU CAN INDICT SOMEONE YOU FEAR POLITICALLY OR DON’T LIKE AND SPREAD TRASH ALL OVER OUR “NEWS” RAGS AND BOOB TUBE GABFESTS ABOUT THEM and get away with it.

“When you strike at the king, you must kill him”

I highly doubt the DA Bragg will suffer in anyway for “striking the king” in the historic way the phrase was inspired by.

In fact, it may make him a viable candidate for governor of New York.

“How is money flowing away from him a contribution to himself?” That’s what’s going in with Ukraine. Some call it kickback.

NY Judge NY Court NY jury. If this goes the whole way Trump will be a convicted felon and the swing states can and will keep him off the ballot.

Just in general terms, what you seem to suggest, generally, would be generally very bad. Very very bad, indeed.

Just generally speaking, mind you.

I can’t be alone in the belief that they’ll try a final solution, should DJT’s popularity propel him to the Oval Office, again.

Agree, and they'll try to False Flag it onto Russia and Putin.

If someone could explain to me in terms so simple even a sixth grader could understand what exactly President Trump is accused of, I would be very grateful.

Well, from what I can tell it seems Trump recorded in one of his company's books Bribe to prostitute Paid lawyer.

According to the prosecutor this constitutes falsifying records.

As for me bribing a prostitute and paying a lawyer is pretty much the same thing.

Yep. Everything is about stopping him and future uniparty unapproved candidates. I’m sure they will throw any protestors in jail too.

“He challenged the power brokers in 2016 and won. They have relentlessly pursued him ever since.”

So very true.

That is EXACTLY why this charade is taking place.
