Save the Rule of Law By Destroying It?
American Greatness ^ | August 28, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 08/28/2023 5:48:37 AM PDT by Heartlander

Some truths are so staggering in their ramifications that Americans simply shrug and tune them out as if strangers in a strange land.

Is their current bewilderment because modernist America is unrecognizable —a nonexistent border, downtown homeless juxtaposed to hipster professional elites, DEI racial essentialism, cities reverting to precivilizational wastelands, millions exiting blue states to red, an FBI and DOJ gone rogue, the normalization of violent theft and assault, biologically born men sandbagging women’s sports and their locker room privacy?

We are reaching the point where the once unbelievable has become the banal, as a single generation has done its best to undo the work of a prior 12 generations. Consider the following:

Three leftwing prosecutors are criminalizing politics with more than 90 simultaneous indictments of Donald Trump, the ex-president and currently the leading Republican primary candidate. While New York prosecutor Letitia James is hounding Trump with a $250 million state lawsuit against the Trump organization and family, on the pretense of supposedly Trump overvaluing his real estate and filing inaccurate financial statements.

Is there any Mafia don, mass murderer, or terrorist who has faced so many indictments or suits in so many jurisdictions at almost the same time?

The prosecutors’ immediate lawfare agendas seem transparent enough. They wish to bankrupt candidate Trump with endless legal costs, and humiliate him with his mugshot blasted over the Internet, and put endless Lilliputian legal ropes over a shackled candidate Gulliver, and inflate the ego and agendas of local prosecutors, and purportedly earn Trump empathy enough to win the nomination only to be hemorrhaged with still more indictments, gag orders, and court appearances to bleed him out in the general election.

Americans ask themselves questions whose answers are never given. Why are all these Trump prosecutors leftwing or with Democratic connections?

Would any of the 90 something indictments for “crimes”...

We need to fight hard against diversity, and demand UNITY in this country, under the rule of law as dictated in the US Constitution (not European), and then these communists will scurry out faster than a speeding bullet.

Not funding the FBI and CIA would unleash the beltway psychopaths upon the corporate world. I have been fired by a boss, that is part of the game of lesser thrones. Them calling DOJ/DA or a shot to the back of the head in a dark alley makes the cube farm less than c suite look a bit more like a homeland script.

VDH-—As for Trump——is there any Mafia don, mass murderer, or terrorist who has faced so many indictments or suits in so many jurisdictions at almost the same time?

Three crazed leftwing Biden prosecutors are criminalizing politics ......and normal campaign conversations.....with more than 90 simultaneous indictments of Donald Trump.

And ghetto girl, New York prosecutor Letitia James, is hounding Trump with a $250 million state lawsuit against the Trump organization and family.

James is not fooling anyone.

She is maliciously hiding her ghetto-honed beliefs about Trump’s successes on the pretense of Trump “supposedly” overvaluing his real estate and filing inaccurate financial statements.

Yes, people, this what the success-challenged ghetto really believes about others’ successes.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

He (Biden) hijacks solemn occasions commemorating national tragedies by trying to one up the grieving with his own self-absorbed stories—most of them irrelevant and narcissistic half-truths.

If a cognitively and criminally challenged Biden cannot finish his term, we will finally learn the full story of 15 years of Biden family corruption.

The Bidens will lose the only impediment—Joe Biden’s political machinations—left in the way of an honest, full-blown felony investigation into what is likely the most corrupt presidential family in American history.

Thank you Liz for your pings! Another excellent VDH composition.

Communism never had it so good in America until Biden and crew made into the WH.

This is the tipping point for America and liberty for all.

That is why I say don’t fire them or de-fund them. Relocate them en-masse to a flyover location. We have a log jam in the Washinton DC river and we need to break it up for this country to work the way it did. D.C. was created by the founders because we needed centralization. Now we do not.

The Real Trouble with the Trump Indictment
MICHAEL LESHER AUGUST 28, 2023

Forget the media frenzy about the details: “Who spoke with whom and when, which Trump adviser is being charged for which “debunked” claim, and so on.

The important point about this indictment is that lawyers are being charged with felonies for doing legal work.

An American prosecutor is criminalizing the legal profession – a business that can only end with the “totalitarian form of government” whose first steps Justice Stevens identified with the elimination of lawyers.

Police state thugs and goons are much more afraid of Trump than they are of criminals and killers... Why? Because criminals and killers are part of their base... along with goons and heavies within the legal system...
