Dems’ war on ex-President Donald Trump is without precedent
NYPost ^ | 8/20/2022 | Michael Goodwin

When you cross the Rubicon, there is no going back. Democrats are getting very close to that fateful moment.

Their dream to indict Donald Trump has turned into determination, putting them on a collision course with history. No president has ever been prosecuted after leaving office ... it would tear America apart.

Yet day by day, the evidence shows Dems have liberated themselves from such concerns and are resolved that this time will be different. The number and fervor of their army of prosecutors reveal a contagious fever, and it often appears they are competing to be the first to file charges.

Will it be Attorney General Merrick Garland...

Or will the first shot come from Georgia, where the Fulton County district attorney is using a special-purpose grand jury to investigate “election interference” in the state by Trump and his associates after the 2020 election?

Or maybe the first charges will come from the Manhattan district attorney’s long-running probe into whether Trump broke tax laws by the way he valued his buildings. Having secured a guilty plea from a top company official regarding his personal tax scheme, probers are desperate to get him to turn on Trump.

These cases raise concerns about conflicts of interest and selective prosecution, but the party’s peanut gallery is blind to everything except the goal. Seeing the Bad Orange Man in handcuffs is a porn-like fantasy for many on the left.

...

So while an indictment of Trump would gladden the little hearts of the Dems’ media handmaidens, what would it do to the country as a whole? With political violence and disorder surging, there is a possibility that charges would be like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Wow... they’re just now realizing it?
It wasn’t the countless investigations with russia, russia, russia?
It wasn’t the first impeachment over russia, russia, russia?
It wasn’t the weird vote tallies?
It wasn’t the 2nd impeachment?
It wasn’t the J6 witch hunt committee?

Why is Fauci resigning before the GOP probably takes the house? If he did nothing wrong?

There were once 57 men just like Donald J Trump that couldn’t be Bribed or Bought and Sold like a $2 whore. They gave us the US Constitution. They believed in Freedom of the Individual and Freedom from the Government.

Always look at his enemies with that in mind.

At this point if someone told me that the Democrats were actually created by giant pods, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I would be totally unsurprised.

Seeing Trump, the Bad Orange Man in handcuffs, is a porn-like fantasy for many on the left and too many in the pseudo right, who hate Trump 24/7!
