That may have been the case with Wood, but many in this mess weren’t operative driven but pow-wowed with Trump on strategy. The exact relationship is often gray. The result. Not a lot for Trump and a lot of loss for these “great legal minds.”
I make my judgement based on your approval of this political hobbling of a political enemy, not your support or non-support of Trump.
Because you clearly approve of it. You don’t even bother suppressing your enthusiasm for it.
A conservative would condemn this even were it Joe Biden having it done to him.
It has ZERO to do with Trump or his candidacy, it is the principle of government power being applied in a non-uniform way against political opposition.
I see you exaggerate. If it was done openly, there would have been no question how it was done and the Kraken would have been released. How many of Trump’s people, especially the legal ones, keep saying they really we got lots of theories but no evidence.
That's what kind of "conservative" you are.
I see lots of people calling you out for your fake "conservatism" on this thread.
U.S. District Court stooge Linda V. Parker is a Democrat, so she was going to rule in favor of the Democrats.
An Obama stooge, she was confirmed 60 to 37 during Clownbammy's honeymoon in 2014.
Quit jackassin' about "bad faith" from a "bad faith" Obama stooge.
Do better, and quit Furiously jackassin' on this thread.
Joesbucks, this is a concerted effort by the government agencies, in concert with the media, and NGO operations.
What we are seeing here is just one part of it, the collaboration to deprive a political opponent of qualified legal personnel via the leveraging of dark money from inside and outside this country.
Joe Brower’s post at #15 referencing the “65 Project” is just a miniscule slice of this, with money being funneled in and targeted, no doubt contributing to the coffers of people and politicians at all levels of government, working in concert to suppress political opposition.
That is one toxic entity having money funnelled into it. There are dozens or hundreds of others just like that, with the media and all levels of government working in collaboration.
If you don’t think that level of cooperation and collaboration is tyranny, just wait until it is brought to bear on you or your loved ones, or your allies.
The Vermont poster is only a problem to himself, calling Trump supporters cultists. He’s what Stalin used to call a useful idiot. Pretty low on life’s scale of usefulness. Pretty sad actually.
Second, Trump’s biggest problem is himself. His reputation for being a poor payer is the first obstacle. He’s a loose cannon as a client. He in his own way is a more polished Charlie Manson. And finally, there’s an ever growing list of barristers that have faced trouble such as loss of license because of false statements to the court or engaging in criminal activity while representing him.
Honestly, if I were asked, I’d decline.
lin also stole millions of dollars from the kyle rittenhouse defense he was supposed to be running, and had to be fired before his incompetence and neglect railroaded kyle into multiple life sentences for murder ...
lin either imploded or was always a closet nutjob ...
Or maybe the cases had no merit and the courts rightly threw them out
Whenever Trump or a Trump endorsed candidate loses it’s not always the deep state or election fraud that does them in, sometimes they just lose
In this cases every court in every state including Federal Courts all rejected the cases
Was cheating involved in the 2020 election, absolutely but no court anywhere in the country was going to listen, therefore it’s insane to keep thinking the courts are going to change if we try one more time
Along with Sydney Powell, Lin Wood did a great disservice to the legitimate evidence of fraud in the 2020 election by making shocking claims that they could not back up.
It is clearly demonstrated that they wish to poison any well of legal counsel Trump might draw from by making it clear that certain law firms won’t hire them, and certain media jobs or interviews will not be forthcoming.
As for your cited penalization, in the aftermath of the 2020 election it went much further than that, in physically threatening the families of prospective lawyers and doxing their children.
But maybe she was complicit or paid off? Or maybe she did not need to be fed bad info because she was just gullible? Not sure.
Lin Wood I am more suspicious of the motives of since he did Rittenhouse dirty in my estimation. But again, don't really know...just have my suspicions.
And yet the Left shops the sane cases from court to court all the
Time refusing to accept defeat.
How often are they disbarred?
What I am going to say, I hope you won't take this as an insult, because it is in no way meant as that. I genuinely believe you either haven't even thought this out, or are completely innocent of what is in store if we don't stop this slide towards tyranny.
The fact this this person happens to be connected to a lightning rod like Donald Trump is of absolutely zero importance in this bigger issue. And that fact that he may or may not be a nutjob also has no bearing on this specific issue. You could look at any number of people who have been persecuted specifically due to their association with Trump, and there are many.
You might even make that point for every person languishing unconstitutionally in a jail (or had the government performing a rectal exam on them) who did nothing worse on January 6th, than walk around inside the Capitol Building after they were deliberately let in. We see many people, including some on this very thread, who said those people had it coming to them for the heinous crime of practicing their 1st Amendment rights.
In that light, it is also worthwhile to keep in mind the parents who have attracted the notice of the various government entities as a result of their speaking out at school meetings, or other everyday people who have been selected for IRS audits because of their political leanings, just to name a few.
I include others from this thread on this, because that irrational hope "I am too small to notice" is in the mind of every human being, however strongly or faintly, including myself and must be overcome in the face of tyranny. We must absolutely crush that fig leaf of faux comfort.
I want you to reflect on what you said in your post, that the predations of a tyrannical government won't be brought to bear on you because you are "too small potatoes".
You need to get educated on what Communists (and totalitarians of all stripes) have done and will absolutely do. There is no damn such thing as "too small potatoes". Every damn person is enough to attract the attention of the goverment.
Seriously-Communist China murdered 40-120 million of its own people since they took over power in 1949. That alone should tell you that, to a totalitarian government, there is no citizen too insignificant to attract their attention.
Granted, you may put your head down and think you are safe, you are following their restrictions and orders to you, being a "good citizen" under the confines of their tyranny.
Do you think that is going to save you? And really-do you want to live that way?
You need to read Solzhenitsyn's ,Gulag Archipelago and take it to heart, as well as Orwell's 1984. Though fictional, Orwell's 1984 is every bit as accurate as Solhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago in its descriptions of tyrannical government.
Do you know what Solzhenitsyn said was the most common thing, when shopkeepers, petty bureaucrats, ditch diggers, and janitors said when they got the knock on the door at 3 AM, and began their journey into the Gulag Archipelago, to interrogation, torture, forced labor, starvation, and death?
They uniformly said, in genuine puzzlement through their sleep fogged brains as they faced the guards there to take them away from their families forever: "What? Arrested? Who, me? What for?"
Yes. "Who, me? What for?"
Many of these were people that kept their heads down, followed orders, did what they were told, got up every day to toil at menial labor for low wages that couldn't purchase any products anyway, and fully followed the orders of the government. They even guarded their own speech and facial expressions, even to their own families, as to not reveal to anyone watching that they might disagree with or resent the intrusion or treatment by a tyrannical government.
They were "model citizens".
And yet, the knock came on the door, and there they stood open-mouthed, blinking in their confusion and sleepiness, and saying "Who, me? What for?"
And that makes Solzhenitsyn's quote all the more pungent:
"...And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward..."
I apologize if this sounds harsh or combatative, but you need to wake up. The majority of Americans do. I am not saying you are unintelligent, uneducated, or stupid, but if you say that you are safe because you are too small, you honestly either have to be uninformed, or one or all of the alternative explanations, unintelligent, uneducated, or stupid. There isn't any middle ground.
And one more thing-if you think that what happened in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba (and any other number of murderous tyrannical governments) can't happen here because of our history, Constitution, or simple "American Exceptionalism", you are not only wrong, but insanely wrong.
It is those positive things like our history, Constitution, and "American Exceptionalism" that will both enable malignant forces to obtain control of this country (they already have) and also will make possible the spectre of the most frightening tyranny in the history of Man up to this point. We will, as Winston Churchill once postulated, descend into "the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."
Honestly, FRiend, this is for your own good, you need to take a look at history, and then look around you with open eyes. I apologize if this sounds harsh, but when you said you were too unimportant to be ground under the thumb of a tyrannical government, you must keep in mind that is the echoing refrain from the mouth of every subjugated human who has suffered under the unwanted attentions of a tyrannical government.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CITIZEN TOO INSIGNIFICANT TO ESCAPE THE PREDATIONS OF A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT.
Thanks for that.
Eye opener for us all. It needs to passed around to others.
“He in his own way is a more polished Charlie Manson.”
Do your folks let you out at night?
I’d say he is doing the right thing. Sounds like he has millions, time to retire and fade away.
Well said, couldn’t agree more.
