Blue State Blues: The Trump Indictment Is An Assault on Democracy
Breitbart ^ | 30 Mar 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 03/30/2023 7:10:49 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The indictment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday by a grand jury in Manhattan is an assault on democracy.

There is no evidence of a crime being committed in the Stormy Daniels affair; even if there were, the statute of limitations on the supposed charge has expired, and the state cannot evade it by inventing a federal crime. The indictment is simply an attempt to prevent the leading opposition candidate from contesting the 2024 election.

Worse, the indictment was purchased by notorious left-wing billionaire George Soros, who hates Trump and spent $1 million to elect Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

There is no more glaring abuse of the rule of law than to allow a wealthy patron of the ruling party to fund the prosecution of its political rival. It is a direct assault on democracy, a form of election interference that will destroy what is left of voters’ faith in democracy.

In the short term, the indictment will encourage conservative voters to rally around Trump. Assuming he can still campaign while on trial, or perhaps from state prison, he is now almost certain to win the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.

He has become the primary symbol of the abuses of power by our country’s entitled liberal elite. If you don’t like what they are doing, the best way to say that is to vote for him.

But that, too, is election interference, because there are some Democrats who would rather run against Trump than against another candidate whose rhetorical style does not irritate the public as much as Trump’s does. The indictment robs Republican voters of a chance to consider alternatives. It gives Democrats exactly what they want: a weakened nominee who cannot be displaced but who will also struggle to win the general election.

The GOP sayeth: here are our nethers, please kick us there.

OR, how about this, we have every effin GOP red state prosecutor give these bastards a taste of their own medicine. Let impanel some grand juries and go to town.

This isn’t “turn the other cheek” territory, it’s “an eye for an eye.”

Start investigating Biden and setting up impeachment hearings, while using the purse strings in the House of Reps to zero out the DOJ budget.(Except for the Bureau of Prisons)

I thought it would be:

An unelected man in the oval office.. seated unelected because the other side has no spine nor fight.
“When in a war and you are thE only one playing fair, YOU WILL LOSE”

Crime family free.. 1 man they are after.. angry? Yes!

IMO that is a safe bet.

Why my suburban wife likes the “South Carolina Weather Vane” is perplexing?

Oh wait, a light bulb went off on my slow brain, my wife is a woman and he’s a fag.

“Now it makes sense.”

I can’t wait for that POS to open his mouth.

Romney is the type of Republican that’ll stab a Republican President in the back, twice on impeachments, but vote no on removing Biden.

His script is so predictable.

This is why we need same day voting.

Creating a safe and plausible subterfuge to keep the spouse from voting for two or three weeks can’t be done.

Why can’t a red state DA return the favor?

“We have to let the legal system play out.”

That's what Trump did with the "Russia Collusion" hoax. In retrospect, a mistake.

There is only one for sure way the Democrats can get rid of Trump. Only one way.

Lawfare. One way legal system.

What a revolting combination: George Schwartz/Soros and Alvin Bragg.

I live in vote by mail Oregon.

After my wife voted for Hillary in 2016, after loving on Trump through the primaries.( She’s a registered Republican)

We reached a new voting agreement.

I fill out her ballot and when her carpel tunnel gets better she signs the envelope.(Perfectly legal under Oregon Law)

Sometimes I wish I had a harem with VBM in Oregon, until I realized divorce, alimony, and child support would bankrupt me.(Smiley Face)

I was being sarcastic.

Besides, Republican politicians were the ones listening to the media and our national security agencies. They, not Trump enabled the “Russia Russia Russia canard/hoax.”(See the Senate specifically)

No, Trump doesn’t get a pass on that. It may have seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but I wouldn’t recommend it in the future.

This further goes to prove that the 2020 and even the 2022 elections were in fact stolen. If Trump really lost by 8 million votes they wouldn’t be taking these extraordinary steps to stop him from running. It also demonstrates to what lengths they will go to rig our elections including jailing your opponent and former President.
