We are entering a dangerous era in America. The left is waging lawfare with the implicit message to political opponents: either keep quiet or suffer the consequences.
One state prosecutor and one civilian plaintiff have already won huge fines and damages from Donald Trump that may, with legal costs, exceed $500 million.
Trump awaits further civil and criminal liability in three other federal, state, and local indictments.
There are eerie commonalities in all these five court cases involving plaintiff E. Jean Carroll, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, federal special counsel Jack Smith, and Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis.
One, they are either unapologetically left-wing or associated with liberal causes. They filed their legal writs in big-city, left-wing America—Atlanta, New York, Washington—where liberal judges and jury pools predominate in a manner not characteristic of the country at large.
Two, they are overtly political. Bragg, James, and Willis have either campaigned for office or raised campaign funds by promising to get or even destroy Donald Trump.
Carroll’s suit was funded by left-wing billionaire Reid Hoffman.
Smith sued to rush his court schedule in hopes of putting Trump on trial before the November election.
Three, there would not be any of these cases had Donald Trump not run for the presidency or not been a conservative.
Carroll’s suit bypassed statute of limitation restrictions by prompting the intervention of a left-wing New York legislator. He passed a special bill, allowing a one-year window to waive the statute of limitations for sexual assault claims from decades past.
Until Trump, no New York prosecutor like James had ever filed a civil suit against a business for allegedly overvaluing real estate assets to obtain loans that bank auditors approved and were paid back in full, on time...

Ideology and party affiliations increasingly determine guilt and punishment. Opponents are first targeted, and then laws are twisted and redefined to convict them.
The left is waging lawfare with the implicit message to political opponents: either keep quiet or suffer the consequences.

I don’t know how long it will take, how may decent, innocent people will be persecuted, or how much of our once-great nation will be destroyed in the process, but this sort of thing never ends well for the leftist scum who perpetrate it. We can only hope we are around to see justice done.
This problem deserves a double tap to solve the situation. When extreme bias is promoted by elected officials and the legal system, the only way that will correct the situation is to make them pay an ultimate price.
Wow Nana. Dating yourself. I saw Vinton play at an amusement park (freedomland) in the Bronx in the early sixties. Just happened to be there to ride the rides. Not a fan of vinton. Chick music. Lots of screaming. Oh well. You made a good point anyway.
Donald Trump is not a conservative.
Please add me to the list
Thank you
They are NOT Liberal Democrats. They are Democratic Socialists. They are facists. Hitler formed the The “National Socialist German Workers’ Party”, Nazi Party, or in German, Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP. How is Facism defined? “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.” Sounds a lot like the current DNC, doesn’t it?
Gleichschaltung
Heya Tennessee Nana, how are you? Hadn’t seen you in a while (or we were just going in different circles) until a few days ago...good to hear from you!
“The Nazis wanted Germans to support the Nazi dictatorship and believe in Nazi ideas. To accomplish this goal, they tried to control forms of communication through censorship and propaganda.”
Now known as “misinformation” and “disinformation”.
“ Donald Trump is not a conservative.”
Right …he just promotes conservative ideas and policies, that’s all.
Define “conservative”
