Deep State: First, the attempted coup. Now, the political prisoner ...

Most people don't quite know what to make of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's alarm about Manhattan prosecutors' decision to throw President Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, into Rikers Island prison. It was an unprecedented move. Yet she's hardly a supporter of people connected to President Trump - she actually wants the president impeached. But she's right about what she's reading:

[libstripper]

Manafort is a political prisoner of the Deep State who is about to be horribly tortured, just like a POW in a Japanese sweat box.

[EagleUSA]

Manafort’s attorneys should be all over this....

[circlecity]

I read she just didn’t like that he or anyone should be placed in solitary confinement. I bet she’d love to see him placed in gen pop there.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Put in general pop with ‘chomo’ tatooed on his forehead probably.

[libstripper]

The article contains a link to a great Daily Beast (I know, a leftist site but, this time, a fantastic article) that shows exactly what the frightful conditions at Rikers are.

[Sans-Culotte]

I’d rather be in Solitary than with the general population of whack jobs and degenerates that populate prisons.

[blueunicorn6]

Alexandria is just a puppet.

Look behind her to see the real voice.

[SteveH]

wow, they should just send federal marshals to get him for another fbi interview and then just keep him.

then ny could declare war on the usa. then the usa could take care of ny the proper way, and probably california as well.

This is the first thing she’s said that really reflects that she lives in the district. Rikers has been notorious for decades, and all longtime New Yorkers know it. On the one public policy subject she appears to have actual experience with, she got this one right.

If you are ever accused of a crime that could land you in prison for any length of time, you need to leave the country any way possible. Because whether or not you are found guilty or not guilty will have little, if anything to do with whether or not you are guilty.

[bk1000]

They want to push us too far. I fear they are succeeding, and they are in for a shock when they do.

[Old Yeller]

Are they trying to force Trump to pardon Manafott, so they can use it politically against him?

[Dawgreg]

Manafort’s attorneys should be all over this....

That’s what I’ve been wondering. Is he still in solitary in prison where he’s at now? Another travesty by Weismann and his henchmen....

[TakebackGOP]

What did Paul Manafort do in New York? The feds should be able to override Cyrus Vance.

[arthurus]

It is a state court action. There is no Federal pardon available to use.

[olepap]

Rikers is bad, but not nearly as bad as Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles. Manafort's only hope of survival is solitary confinement. You can be raped, beaten, or murdered in jail if you get mixed up with the criminal justice system in this country. Remember jail is where people are held before trial. Some of these people are even innocent.

All of this Trump persecution by the DC establishment serves three purposes; first to rid them at all cost of the pro-American President Donald Trump, obviously at the expense of the social and economic stability of the US. The second is to serve notice to anyone who ever decides to run for POTUS who is not of the Establishment cabal. Third, anyone who ever tries to diminish or to remove the control of the DC and the NWO Establishment bankers over the US government and the American people.

If Trump and his people fail to expose, indict snd prosecute these traitors, there will be only two alternatives left for the American people; capitulate to imposed enslavement and succumb to the fact that America is no more, or to defeat them in hot battle, as our Founding Fathers summarily predicted, thus their reason for instituting the Second Amendment. There will be a winner in this struggle, it's the American people's choice as to that will be.

Remember that NY elected an Attorney General who promised to prosecute, President Trump, his family and everyone associated with him. And they’ve just passed legislation allowing state prosecution of people convicted of and pardoned for federal crimes that might also be state crimes—specifically eliminating double jeopardy. And they’ve also passed a law that allows the state to release state income tax records to HofR committees that ask for them.

Almost starting to see a pattern here...

Saw with my own eyes a kid on a dog leash in the bathroom.

Cheek bone broken and swolllen.

Didnt want to guess how many times he had been raped.

Guards dont give a s..t

Everyone is nice until they tell you how much you are pay every week to be “safe”.

If you are not with a group of guys. You are ####ed. Literally sometimes.

There was always a handful of Italians there so you were good even if there were 6 or 7.

I dont think there are many white guys AT ALL anymore but a handful.

“Everyone is nice until they tell you how much you are pay every week to be “safe”.”

On arrival you get the the “Check it”.
Some of the local “Leaders” ask “Fight, F*ck, or Pay?”

Decisions, decisions . . .
