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

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:

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

I picked up a major ‘time-out’ from Twitter a few years ago simply for posting that quote.

I never went back.

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.

I miss Michael K. Williams, probably one of the early CCP fentanyl victims.

I believe Elon Musk is correct. Arresting Trump on trumped up debunked charges will not only guarantee Trump's reelection, it will make him a living Martyr for the cause of freedom and injustice.

The democrat party is now the party of domestic terrorism.

He gave one of the best acting performances in history with that role.

This Bragg nonsense is just the latest chapter of persecution used as a fundraising tool and distraction for the media spin cycle.

There is no case. We are being gaslit.

This guy killed the King. Unfortunately for him he did not get away. Needless to say he suffered a bit before his end.

Don’t think of this as “Arresting President Trump”. Instead think of it as *precedent* for arresting Joe and Hunter Biden, as well as Barack Obama and Eric Holder. And possibly, Hillary Clinton.

People who have their own guest graveyard shouldn’t make hay about someone who might have a skeleton in their closet.

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.

Yesterday the ICC talked about arresting Putin. Today our deep state talks about arresting Trump.

The deep-state empire certainly is arrogant and full of itself.

Meanwhile, Joek and company are selling the country out. Lock, stock and barrel.

He challenged the power brokers in 2016 and won.

They have relentlessly pursued him ever since.

The NDA money he gave the pole dancer slut was not declared as a campaign donation from Trump to the Trump Campaign.

Trump will not be arrested in Tuesday. There are no plans to arrest Trump on Tuesday.

If he gave the money to her, either directly or through his lawyer, how is this a campaign contribution? Was Stormy running for office? How is money flowing away from him a contribution to himself?

It was to keep her quiet during the '16 campaign I guess. A stupid DA from NY may be able to explain it better.

In 2017 Trump's lawyer Cohan paid the whore off in total and Trump then repaid the money off in increments.

Not to say that Trump is like a “Hitler” or a King David, but both were arrested and became “Kings” after their persecutors were banished or killed. God is in control and as it says in Daniel 2:21 “It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to men of understanding.
