I suspect that the reason all Trump does is post on Truth Social is because his own lawyers won’t touch it with a bargepole.
Many are terrified that he’ll insist on going to court even if they know their case is nowhere near strong enough to survive Discovery. The judges keep warning Trump’s legal representatives, if all they’re actually doing is firing off speculative lawsuits hoping to “run up the costs” to a point where targets will settle out of court simply because that’s cheaper than fighting to win (which is deeply unethical), they risk being disbarred.
“It’s complete and utter horseshit than no one has swung from a yard arm or otherwise faced capital punishment for their treason.”
Don’t you think the Never Trumpers say pretty much the same thing about all of the people in the Republican party who denounced Trump before he became leader? Those same people can’t even answer a simple question like “Can Trump ever be wrong on anything” without crapping themselves on camera.
“The left has radicalized me with their treason and no one on the right has the balls to do what need be done for the future of the republic.”
But people on the Left say the same thing about MAGA.
“No-one on the right has the balls to do what needs to be done” is a view shared by the Left too. But THEIR argument is, you are only raging because the Kraken, the dirt on Biden and Clinton, the innuendo about Obama’s birth certificate, and more, was too weak to ever be actionable in a court of law.
Let’s say they’re wrong. What’s the alternative? That Trump and the Republicans are sitting on a compelling, damning dossier that could see Bill, Hillary, Barack, Joe, Jill and Hunter all behind bars, but for some reason this administration just can’t be bothered to take even one page of any of it into a courtroom???
The problem looks exactly the same from the Left’s point of view.
As far as they’re concerned, the Trump family has been getting exponentially richer through dodgy crypto schemes, “made in America” phones that turned out to be old-generation Chinese phones in new wrapping, MAGA hats that are made in China, insider trading. And despite court orders and unanimous support for releasing the FULL list of who’s involved in the Epstein scandal, the DOJ and others are wilfully obstructing it.
As far as they’re concerned, the Kraken against Trump is real, it’s huge, and the only reason we’re not seeing it is because Trump himself is blocking its release.
However, the MAGA view might well be, the reason that Kraken hasn’t been released is because it’s All Fake News. And, of course, if *this* Kraken was always a real, why didn’t the Biden administration release it?
The uncomfortable fact is, stood from outside of the polarised American political theater, as an observer rather than a participant, all of your fury and suspicion against how the Left is persecuting the Right, is 100% MIRRORED by the fury and suspicion that comes from the Right persecuting the Left.
The tune you’re playing is no different to the tune being played by people riled up enough to join Antifa.
I don’t care about the what-about-isms. Don’t care about the both-side-isms. The thing you have to realize, the truth that must be understood, is that the left embraces power, it consolidates it and executes power to their aims while the right still holds to rules the left no longer abides by or even acknowledges. Simple as that. That is the core of the radicalization to which I spoke.
Furthermore, I see your argument in the same vein as “US military action creates Islamic extremists”. It’s an argument framed to use US actions to prevent future US actions based upon a lie. Does US action generate some blow back? Sure some. But is it the prime mover? Of course not. Did the lack of US action for decades eliminate terrorist actions against civilians the world over? Did US actions cause the Barbery pirates to take US ships and hostages for ransom? Of course not. Islamic terrorists will do what they do because that it is their religion, not because of any US action. It’s simply a frame to keep me in check. To make me docile. I see your frame in the same way and I reject it.
