Up until now, Democrats have loved felons. The advent of Soros district attorneys and the criminal justice "reform" movement has turned felons into Democrat heroes. Just ask George Floyd.
But they've done a 180 now, screaming from every mountaintop that President Trump is a 'felon,' which is highly questionable given that the case they hit him with stands a good chance of being thrown out on appeal.
But they're happy enough about it, given that they achieved their political aim, which was to be able to call Trump a 'felon' and peel off a few GOP votes from him ahead of Election Day. That might be all they want from this ridiculous and patently illegal political prosecution. "Felon!" "Felon!" "Felon!" Out they shout it, as if they hadn't been lionizing real felons for the past decade or more as role models.
The 'felon' appellation is an interesting one because President Trump is in good company.
Crummy dictatorships the world over have been felon-izing their political opponents, in what's a perfected art.
Start with Alexei Navalny, who recently died in a Russian Gulag in the country's far north for ... making fun of Russia's dictator, Vladimir Putin, and exposing his corruption. Navalny was convicted of "fraud," same as Trump was, and later, "extremism." His real crime was challenging the establishment and becoming popular with the people as a result. Trump is in his company and God forbid he suffer the same fate, which is entirely possible if he's jailed. By the wildest of coincidences, the Russians actually adopted the New York technique of claiming "the cameras were off" when high profile Jeffrey Epstein turned up dead in prison, calling it a suicide.
Trump also joins Lech Walesa of Poland for the 'felon' title. Walesa was arrested and jailed in Poland ,

Closer to home, Trump joins Martin Luther King, Jr., who was another "felon" who drew draconian sentences for challenging the establishment on civil rights for black people. They got him 29 times, sometimes for protesting, but also on technicalities such as driving 30 miles an hour in a 25 mph zone in Alabama, and driving in Georgia without a valid license which had been held up only because Georgia officials hadn't bothered to issue him the one he applied for, while his valid Alabama license was ignored.
Bibi is still under indictment.
Leftists themselves always did call our justice system corrupt and broken..
Thanks for this 👍
They should know...
He’s ‘Justice Impacted’.
On 21 November 2019, Netanyahu was officially indicted for breach of trust, accepting bribes, and fraud, leading him to legally relinquish his ministry portfolios other than prime minister. Netanyahu’s trial in the Jerusalem District Court began on 24 May 2020, with witness testimony starting on 5 April 2021. The prosecution listed 333 witnesses.
As of April 2024, the trial is still ongoing.
Trump should trade his MAGA hat for a FELON hat and wear it as a badge of honor. Like he says, it’s us they are after. He is just in the way.
twice impeached felon, sheesh, are there really people out there denying all this is political warfare from Dems?
Funny though- it’s the day after the verdict and I haven’t heard of a single CVS being looted and burned.
“. . . Trump joins Martin Luther King, Jr., who was another “felon” who drew draconian sentences for challenging the establishment on civil rights for black people.”
I was aware King wrote some letters from jail but I’m not familiar with any draconian sentences for felonies.
Speak truth to power, and power will make your life miserable.
I’m convinced this conviction is such a boost for Trump if he is sentenced with an ankle bracelet to wear when he’s not campaigning, he should ask for one for his wrist and he should wear it to all his rallies and wave it in the air while smiling and chant scam, scam scam. Ridiculing the conviction, like fake news, reinforces there are fake convictions and he was lucky enough to get one for free.

A good number of our Founding Fathers were felons!
