Post-Trump Verdict, Will the American Right Finally Wake Up?
Newsweek ^ | May 31, 2024 | Josh Hammer

Posted on 05/31/2024 9:58:19 AM PDT by definitelynotaliberal

Like many others in the punditry space, I am a lawyer by background. I practiced law at a major global law firm. I clerked for a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I have published multiple pieces of formal legal scholarship on constitutional issues. I regularly lecture at law schools and present to professional lawyer groups across the country on assorted legal topics. I host two shows, one of which is explicitly legal-based—and with a focus, above all, on the unprecedented lawfare tactics sullying the 2024 presidential race.

In other words, I know a thing or two about the law. And I have been doing my part to sound the alarm on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's sham prosecution and eventual show trial of former President Donald Trump ever since the George Soros-backed lawman first dropped his ludicrous 34-count indictment over a year ago. There are far too many technical deficiencies in Bragg's "case," to say nothing of the grotesque manner in which the presiding judge comported himself at trial, to recapitulate here.

But for present purposes, the key point is this: None of those details matter. None of them.

As infuriating as these show trials are, they maybe opening some otherwise sleepy eyes in the productive elements that keep America running. Coupled with the misery brought on by the left's economics, social programs and threats to our security; lawfare just might fire up enough neighborhoods in America to give Trump another shot, with a helpful Senate.

If so, Mr. MAGA and had better find an AG that won't hesitate to look hard at seditious conspiracy charges for those responsible for these election interference trials. I watch and wait.

Will the American Right Finally Wake Up

Who is this so-called "American Right?" You mean Turdle? Or Johnson who as Speaker did deals to continue paying for the DOJ/FBI and its vaunted lawfare? You mean blow with the wind Pence? Trey? Who?

When one so profoundly and deeply corrupted, so utterly foul in all his being, so irrefutably evil in his ways, so horrible a person as joe biden, can rule with the mightiest hand, our nation is indeed lost to the wiles of satan.
When criminals administer justice only the innocent are found guilty.

Unfortunately, the answer to that will be when they read on a driver's license application "Are you now or have you ever been a MAGA supporter?"

Make no mistake about it: The Swamp is firmly in control.

Trump wasn't even able to appoint his own AG or CIA director. His choices were limited by those acceptable to the Deep-State, the "gang of eight" and McConnell. So expecting to simply "put a good guy" at the top of some of those totally corrupt organizations is a fantasy.

The positive point is that many average Americans are awake, and ready for major changes.

Change will have to come in unexpected ways, political guerrilla warfare, and unconventional political tactics

Every Republican DA and AG in this country needs to indict as many Dem office holders as possible right down to dog catcher. That’s the only way this will stop. Give them their own medicine good and hard. Scorched earth all the way.

I’ve longed called this process ‘Death by a Thousand Cuts’.

Not one single blow will topple Trump. But a thousand little battles won will end him.

I just read where Pence called this verdict a ‘disservice’.

Really. Mike Pence. He’s the biggest coward of them all. He should just keep his mouth hole shut.

Trump is winning in the polls in places he is not supposed to even be competitive in; he out raised Crime Boss Joey by big numbers in April and probably in May as well, So, where do YOU get off asking “Post-Trump Verdict, Will the American Right Finally Wake Up?”
Who the hell are YOU? Get lost ash hole this is the type of Bull shiite the left (Newsweak) pumps out to try to bait us into lawlessness. Take this “hero” and go home Surrender Monkeys he is clearly one of yours.

The Trump verdict should trigger more SWAT raids against political wrongthink and a few but increasing killings of wrongthinkers at “mistaken” addresses. Just publishing prolife articles may soon be a trigger for SWATs. Gun shops being taken out by showy SWATS is probably coming, too, and other developing ramifications. The use of SWATs is much more about intimidation of the population than criminal misspellings on forms.

“The positive point is that many average Americans are awake, and ready for major changes.”

***********

The problem is...we don’t have a political party that has any determination to win. Its hard to win a war without an army that is willing to fight. Just saying.

Trump notwithstanding, I just don’t see the GOP changing going forward. The party lacks vision, convictions and courage, attributes that are the product of determination that do not pop up overnight.

Not saying its impossible, just very difficult and unlikely. I suppose if things get bad enough to cause people a lot of social instability, financial pain, and fear for their futures things could start to change. But again, we’re going up against the mighty fortress of an entrenched Deep State that is determined to defend its turf. A very tough challenge ahead.

Yeah well, Russians in 1917 were ready for change, too. But I don’t think they liked the change they got.

“Above all, it is imperative that the Right not bat an eyelash. Do not be intimidated by this blatant show of crass thuggery masquerading as a legal proceeding. It’s now full steam ahead through November. We must make these miscreants pay for what they have done”.

Yeah, another “Expert” standing on the sidelines shaking his fist and wiping tears over the injustice of it all. But no one in Congress, Senate or the streets does a damned thing about..
