Justice Shrugged: The Persecution of Donald Trump COMMENTARY By Frank MieleAugust 14, 2023 Justice Shrugged: The Persecution of Donald TrumpAP Here’s what I dream of Donald Trump saying when he stands trial on bogus charges proffered by his political opponents: “I do not recognize this court’s right to try me … I do not recognize my action as a crime.”
Those are the fighting words of industrialist Hank Rearden when he was put on trial for ignoring an unjust law in Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged.” Although the circumstances of the cases differ, Rearden is a perfect avatar of Donald Trump, as both larger-than-life men are persecuted by the justice system for seeking to pursue their own self-interest and for refusing to surrender to government oppression.

There is no more justice system in Amerika.

Soviet Murikkka.
It is starting to look and act more as the Department of Pogroms.
Expect Trump to receive the Mike Flynn treatment in court. I’m surprised they somehow couldn’t get the Uniparty’s Stalinist judge, Emmit Sullivan, involved.
Like it or not Trump is our last hope to turn this country around. The Dems are full of hate and won’t stop until they manage to lock Trump up. It’s scary to see how quickly we devolved into a Banana Republic. Our country is being run by a cabal of criminals and they will go to any extreme to retain their power.
A judge can rule that water flows uphill and unless and until another court reverses the ruling, it becomes precedent and will be used in the legal system.
So, all the government has to do is find a judge that will rule that all of these actions and behaviors are ‘’legal’’ and ‘’Constitutional’’ and have the ruling upheld by other courts.
You are living under tyranny when the government tells you what the laws mean even if their statements and actions directly contradict the actual law as written.
All tyrants make their tyranny legal.
I don’t buy that for a second. The guy’s still out playing golf every day, and that’s supposed to be my last hope? Please.
It’s scary to see how quickly we devolved into a Banana Republic.
And Trump was President 4 of the last 6 years. I’m not saying he’s not being targeted, just that he’s not our LAST hope.
DeSantis isn’t going anywhere and is unelectable in the general. So what exactly are you proposing if not Trump? I’m well aware of Trump’s many faults but the last election was stolen from him and he deserves justice. If they manage to lock him up that means the deep state elites have won and if that happens we are in for a world of trouble.
Atlas ping.

The corrupt Democrats are committing fraud and the GOP is asleep at the switch, again.
It’s like the failed K-12 education for the past 40 years, again, the GOP has done nothing. Show be an establishment Republican running for office and I’ll show you someone I will NEVER vote for or support.
DeSantis, getting support from the establishment makes him someone I can’t vote for.
If Trump is locked up, it means the Obama cabal would have beaten Trump, but it doesn't mean they will have beaten all of us. Half of Republicans don't support Trump anymore, despite his desperate situation. Trump just doesn't represent many of us on things like our incredible dislike of warp speed vaccines, gay marriage, and signing every huge spending bill Congress sends him. He's ~80 years old too, so someone will have to step up soon, anyway. Thanks.
Let’s go Galt.
There will be blood!
Blah blah McEagle
Anybody you want will be in the image and likeness of the previous R Presidential timber before Trump:
Bush,Dole,Bush,McCain,Romney
Swamp doesn’t like outsiders messing their con..
I like DeSantis, and don’t think he’s in the mold of any of those people. Certainly not based on his record. And is his book, he explains in detail his dislike of the Bush doctrine to try to “bring freedom” to foreign lands. Said he built this opinion while serving in Iraq. And how he believes that it is the exact opposite of what the founders intended for America.
What’s his opinion of the Durham Report?
If I recall correctly,DeJeb announced his run after the Durham Report.
I think that’s a swampy move in the Bush,McCain,Romney mold (probably not Dole)
But I think Liddle Pence did too.
The track record of your party is Swamp First..
Then along came Trump and ruined that R vs D con that DC plays..
Durham report: DeSantis reiterates ‘need to clean house’ at federal agencies
Yes, Trump has disrupted the historical balances of R vs D, by pulling the Republican party to the left, away from conservatism, and towards populist nationalism (control of big government, vs reduction of government). After his next defeat, in either the primary or the general, the conservatives will take the party back over.
Golden Shower, What do you want Trump to do? Act like craven ball-less idiot like you?
