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.

In her basement gleefully and maniacally clapping.
Good observation. Trump wasn’t stopped by any of it so now they are resorting to more desperate, albeit, Stalinistic tactics.
and the state cannot evade it by inventing a federal crime.
Huh...looks like they just did and the grand jury went for it.
A grand jury ignored the law and issued an indictment for no crime.
Talk about indicting a ham sandwich...
How about the clinton gang and the biden gang be indicted also ? Let’s round up and indict real criminals. The clintons and bidens are real criminals
“If you don’t like what they are doing, the best way to say that is to vote for him.“
There is no answer to this level of pure stupidity. Yeah, vote, THATS the ticket.
“Which is exactly what they are hoping for“
So hide under our beds? That’s another thing they are hoping for. Ever heard the expression “backed up against the wall?
Let me refresh your memory: since the late sixties these scum have been getting out there and rioting occupying and flat out screaming and fighting. In this way a relatively small percentage of people over the course of fifty years have utterly taken over education from K to Post grad, the courts, the media, the press until today, when they can nakedly steal an election without one court even looking into it and take out a former president and present candidate on charges that calling them trumped up is glorifying them. They no longer care that we know what they are. They now act with impunity.
If you are afraid of them they own you…and that’s exactly what they want…
Go blather to somebody who cares.
“It gives Democrats exactly what they want: a weakened nominee who cannot be displaced but who will also struggle to win the general election.“
Exactly. They know that Republicans and conservatives in general will rally around Trump even if they hate him, and the younger, stronger candidates won’t stand a chance. Thus Biden - or whatever they run in his stead, in case he becomes too gaga even to be allowed out of his locked ward - will be elected automatically.
On the other hand, part of me is wondering if this isn’t meant as a direct provocation (look at all the fear theater, calling out all the DC police, etc.) to make it look as if Republicans and conservatives are an actual threat to national stability and to give the left the chance to suspend constitutional guarantees (as they have done with the J6 people) and grant themselves emergency powers to repress and suppress all opposition. But maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight.
Just keep accepting information “Brought to you by Pfizer.”
It will serve you well.
If I were a Trump supporter with vacation plans to visit NYC, I would cancel them. I’ll never sit foot in that state unless it is because an airliner gets diverted..
You have no cogent or intelligent argument so you revert to being a mean obdurate son of a bitch. Ok, Coward, may your chains rest lightly.
We are entering the stage of America where one President garners 90% of the vote, like in other communist governments.
Alex Jones has been warning us this was coming for thirty years and he says the last thing we want to do is foment violence.
How long have you been on top of this? Fifteen minutes? But you know everything and know it’s time to throw bombs?
One of the sad things is “accepting information brought by Pfizer” is what Trump did. He’s never apologized for it or for the shutdown. Even so, it didn’t buy him safety from the left.
They want to bring down the whole system.
Assault on Democracy
Yes the last two years has proved it.
Democrat party chuckles
What foment violence? I’ve had enough violence in my life to satisfy me forever. We have to get off our asses and get out there and demand redress of our grievances to put it one way. What I don’t understand is those on our side who say “Don’t protest that’s what they want”. If we go out and act lawfully and we are attacked, that’s on them. That’s their choice. If the cops attack and imprison us for defending ourselves, then we have two enemies.
Oh, you threw a straw man at me and I didn’t recognize it.
I never said don’t protest. I said we can’t get violent. See the difference?
