Investigate him. Impeach him. Indict him. Demonize him. When none of it works — what comes next?
For nearly a decade, Donald Trump has been the most investigated, scrutinized, and politically targeted figure in modern American history.
That’s not hyperbole. It’s his résumé.
From the moment he descended the escalator in June 2015, the full apparatus of opposition snapped into place. Not routine political disagreement or opposition research, but something far more sustained: intelligence leaks, media narratives, fabricated dossiers, bureaucratic resistance, and cultural condemnation, all rowing in the same direction.
The premise was simple.
Something would stick.
Anything would stick.
Nothing did.
Rewind the tape. Russian collusion. Endless demands for tax returns. Two impeachments. Jan. 6 recast as an insurrection. A steady drip of allegations — some serious, some sensational, some quietly abandoned when they didn’t pan out. Each introduced with breathless urgency and a familiar promise:
This is the one. We have him now.
Think of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.
Wile E. Coyote fell off the cliff and the Roadrunner scooted away.
Naturally, the strategy evolved.
When narrative failed, prosecution followed. Enter “lawfare” — the weaponization of the legal process as a political strategy. Indictments multiplied. Novel legal theories emerged. Statutes of limitations changed. The net widened — not just around Trump, but around his associates, attorneys, aides, and, if possible, anyone who ever shook his hand or voted for him.

Worse than most. I didn't realize that until I saw some clips of him. He is a dangerous guy.
4 states that passed a Convention Of States (COS) resolution recently canceled that vote. What happened? Control of the legislature went from Republicans to RAT control. RATs are terrified of Article V. From the RAT perspective they think it is a trap as well. Both sides can't be right here.
Jefferson believed that Article V would be routinely used to settle the big disputes.How did a man as intelligent and wise as Jefferson get this wrong? The answer is the Supreme Court seized that role for itself.
Everytime that body of 9 black robed lawyers meet it is like a COS. The Constitution becomes whatever these judges for life say it is. The RATs have openly and recently said everything about that court is on the table. That means packing that court with enough stooges that make the Constitution say what they want it say. That is where your terror of change should be focused on.
“They’re not after me, they’re after you, and I just happen to be standing in the way.” -Trump

I wholeheartedly agree.
The scumsucking demoncrats know exactly what they are doing, they are TRAITORS to this County and dark evil people...
Q: “Which leads to the question that has haunted his opponents since 2016. Why hasn’t any of it worked?”
A: Because Trump is a tough SOB.
Author misses that.
250 years and yet never been used. The closest it got was for a Balanced Budget Amendment. Congress was so terrified it created the Graham Rudman act. The ploy worked. That Act failed in its so called mission by design. Congress won its battle to spend without restrictions.
The whole point of a Convention Of States (COS) is to return power from Congress back to the states. Congress has managed to get 27 of its own amendments past the states . Many of those amendments give Congress more power.I'd be satisfied if after 250 years the COS was finally called. Then Congress would finally be faced by a real alternative to its meddling.
Most of the people who run for office are scumbags. The kind of person who a sane person would never give them power. The beauty of The Constitution was to have these scumbags cancel each other out in their battle for power. A COS is the counterpoint to Congress and the sooner we actually have one the better.
I feel exactly the same. The previously unbelievable and intolerable is now the norm, it seems. The whole covid deal destroyed my sense of security amongst my fellow Americans. As a kid of maybe 11, I once saw “The Lord of the Flies” on television. I was very disturbed by it; it was more frightening to me than “Night of the Living Dead”, which I also saw around that time. That nightmare was realized and lived for the years 2020 to 2024, and changed me as it did many, many others.
Indeed. So far Congress has succeeded in getting 27 of its Amendments passed. Many of those, no big surprise, gave Congress even more power. Amendments proposed by a Convention Of States: Zip. Zero. Nada . About time the States took back some of that power Congress has managed to take from them.
Excellent post.
Duh.
And Levin doesn't have a clue about the most significant amendments needed to the Constitution, especially in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 and the Supremacy Clause in Article I, both of which are discussed in detail HERE and the Fourteenth Amendment discussed HERE.
A COS is the counterpoint to Congress and the sooner we actually have one the better.
As populated by our current crop of cronies, sleazeballs, and thugs. By contrast, the amendments discussed in those articles are so obvious they should be passed and ratified without much opposition.
Seventeen.
Trump was right. They are coming for us he’s just in the way.
The Democrats and the media have hated every Republican President in the last 60 years—Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump. (Ford and Bush I less passionately maybe.) George W. Bush was hated when he was in office—he was a chimp and Hitler (post-Presidency not so much because he has become a friend of Clinton and has a grudge against Trump for beating Jeb). Trump definitely more than George W. Bush. Before Trump probably Nixon was the most hated but that was before CNN or social media so the intensity is greater now than ever in the past.
They barely tolerated Ike, only because he was a war hero.
I was reading newspapers in Eisenhower’s second term, but only for the comics. I don’t think I paid much attention to the political news or read any editorials.
