Indict One—And All? Were the opposition to match tit-for-tat these Democratic means, then the republic would not survive.

Bragg promised in advance that he would try to find a way to indict Trump. His prior boasts are reminiscent of Stalin’s secret police enforcer Lavrentiy Beria’s quip, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” Nancy Pelosi gave the game away, when in her dotage, she muttered that Trump had a right to prove his innocence as if he is presumed guilty.


Arrest the Bidens. Corrupt to the core

Obama gun running would get the liberals inflamed. It actually should have been done, dozens of people were killed.

"Arrest the Bidens. Corrupt to the core"

Indict all of the Obama and Biden kakistocrats. They have all given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Even The Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann names Demonicrat names as being "clearly traitors." They all need to be tried, convicted, and sentenced to be one-time rope testers, and their carcasses left to rot off the noose.

"Were the opposition"? It's absolutely mandatory that Republican DAs indict Hunter, Joe, Nancy, Hillary on any state or local charge that may be applicable - unless the Democrats get a taste of their own antics, they will never stop. The time for GOP cowardice is long past.

A House committee should subpoena Bragg, and have him arrested if he doesn’t show up. Turnabout is fair play.

No Sale.

The Republic is already a pretense. A key "rule-of-engagement" which the Democrats insist upon is that their opponents must never be allowed to use any effective tactics.

The Democrats cheat, lie, and take bribes while rewarding a small number of supporters with payments stolen from taxing the general population. They exempt themselves from laws which they enforce against their opponents.

Those tactics work.

"If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on support from Paul".

We are not winning when we express moral outrage against this system. We are winning when we drive the people out of office who are running this system. "Tit-for-Tat" lawfare is one of the tactics we can use effectively, at least for a while yet.

How can we avoid "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" if we win?

GOPe types, RINOs, Desantis lovers and "moderate Republicants" think that political persecutions will end with Trump. I got news for them the DemonCratic party thinks....

They are not going to do that. Only President Trump, his supporters will be arrested and tried. And their political enemies. That right there eliminates most [99%] of the Republican Party plus, from the posts I read a good portion of Free Republic.com. If you believe anything else, you are only deluding yourself.

I agree, but the Bidens are careful to live (and commit their crimes) in legally friendly jurisdictions—DC, Delaware, & doesn’t Hunter live in L.A. and sell his ‘artwork’ in NYC?

“we can and must employ any means necessary to achieve our unpopular political ends”.....this is the mentality of the left pure and simple. They are filled with hate and a warped sense of values. Eventually they will hit with the boomerang they threw.

"Eventually" can be a long time. A lot of innocents can be harmed in that time.

Evil people always destroy everything and everybody around them when they take power, including themselves.

Effective tactics to remove evil people currently in power must take advantage of their self-destructive tendencies. That is not the same thing as "by any means necessary" tactics that the leftists use.

Effective tactics have nothing to do with "playing fair".

Works for me, and I think it's time to get started.

Can be harmed? were in the midst of it. The fact that so many of “their” side feels the pain of their foolish and sometimes immoral if not illegal political maneuvers and social posturing means the boomerang comes back around sooner rather than later IMHO. Wokeness has an expiration date.

Biden has caused carnage for two years now...with forecasts dimming daily. You wouldn’t think it would be hard for GOP leadership to mount a campaign to take advantage of this pain and suffering but it eludes them. Just a handful of folks willing to spell it out. Until that number grows....the lefts own pain will be the only thing that can drive change. Lets see how much more pain can endure in the next 12 months...enough to reset? who knows... its all for not unless elections a repaired anyway...and I see very little GOP momentum in this area. I get the feeling that most republican politicians are satisfied the election process,that it is good enough...of course this is a fatal flaw.

The GOP leadership is perfectly comfortable playing the role of junior partner in the "Our Democracy" show. They will be no help to us.

All of the Democrats and most of the Republicans must be removed from office. That is an enormous project by itself. And it does not stop there. Most of the executive management in the Federal and State governments has to go as well. Staffing should be considerably reduced in most departments.

But wait. There's more. It has been said, "Politics is downstream from culture". Hoo boy, do we have a problem there!

Most of our "higher education" system is corrupted beyond repair. These institutions are not merely useless, they are actively harmful. Many of them need to be closed down, permanently.

Our high-school and elementary school systems need careful review. We are tolerating policies and staff which were considered unacceptable two decades ago. They must be considered unacceptable again. And many school principals should be fired. Some teachers too. Remember the line; "it's for the children".

School staff must not be permitted to vote in school board elections. Teachers' unions must be abolished.

The elaborate network of "Non-Government-Organizations" and Non-Profit Organizations, which support the progressive causes must be defunded. The franchises for ANTIFA, BLM, and other domestic terrorist organization are all sustained by these connections. They wither and die without them.

A number of corporate executives with totalitarian preferences and close connections in the government must be replaced as well. Our current government is essentially a fascist coalition sponsored by that "loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires" mentioned by the songwriter. The entrenched bureaucracies of the "Deep State" are the other major factor. The Intelligence Agencies are the most dangerous and least controlled of the bureaucracies.

Mortality is a prospect in our favor. All of these old bastards currently in charge will die eventually, most by natural causes. Disrupting the system when it tries to replace them will be a key feature in changing things.

For quicker results, intolerance of local politicians and refusal to obey their orders is probably best. Complete avoidance of national politicians is also a good idea. No, Trump is not going to save us. Neither is DeSantis. Neither are your Senators or House "Representatives". They are either immobilized or compromised.

And violence? Nope. Let the leftists kill each other. They will do that when the loot runs short.

Any sort of protest is an inherently violent threat. That is the whole point of such protests, and they are useless otherwise. Even showing up for a city council meeting has a theoretical prospect of forcibly removing the council. Keep that in mind if you go.

I will be avoiding crowds, myself.

If you get called for jury duty, by all means accept the call. And if the case is "political", then simply call a verdict according to your political viewpoint. The "laws" in such cases mean nothing. Call it like you see it. Be discreet about why.

The Republicans do not have it in them to respond in kind. To wit} they don't have the guts, backbone, or desire. And besides, the Republican hierarchy and Democrat hierarchy are Blood Brothers. With the Democrats in control.

You can continue with your fantasies if you like. But the fact is that for that to happen, you would need a Republican Party with 99% new faces.
