I am going to start a thread in the near future comparing the attacks on and treatment of Senator Joseph McCarthy by the 1953 equivalents of the Left and the Deep State, and one of the items to compare is the way charges were brought against him in his censure by the Senate.
They started off with 46 charges against Senator McCarthy, and voted to censure him on two of them-one of them for not “cooperating” with the Senate in the censure process (he didn’t want to be part of and lend legitimacy to the kangaroo court process that was fully meant and constructed to produce a censure) and the other “charge” was that McCarthy had characterized “three members of the Select Committee with ‘deliberate deception’ and ‘fraud’ ... that the special Senate session ... was a ‘lynch party’”, and had characterized the committee “as the ‘unwitting handmaiden’, ‘involuntary agent’ and ‘attorneys in fact’ of the Communist Party”, and had “acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute, to obstruct the constitutional processes of the Senate, and to impair its dignity”.
All of those statements by McCarthy about the censure process were spot on and 100% true, just as Trump’s statements today are.
The point is, they were doing the same thing to McCarthy in 1953-54 that they have been repetitiously doing to Trump since 2016.
They might well level 300 charges against Trump, and convict him on some stupidity such as failure to cooperate by legitimizing his own illegal execution.
When they do (and it is a possibility, after all) they will throw their hands in the air and declare total victory over Trump.
And if it keeps him from running...it will be a victory for them. Which is what they are aiming for.
He should just give up then.
