Press: This election is no longer about Trump, it’s now about us
The Hill ^ | 06/03/2024 | Bill Press

It goes without saying that, after Donald Trump’s bombshell 34-count guilty verdict, we are sailing in uncharted political waters. We’ve never been here before. And nobody — nobody — knows how this is all going to turn out.

There’s no doubt, however, that the Trump verdict and the Republican Party’s reaction to it, have demolished two long-held political tenets. One, oft-cited by political cynics: “There’s no real difference between the two major parties.” If that were ever true, it’s no longer the case. There’s no way the Democratic Party would ever nominate a convicted felon for president — and, even if they tried to, no way they could ever get away with it.

The second demolished tenet, proudly proclaimed since the days of Richard Nixon: The Republican Party is “the party of law and order.” Ha. Richard Nixon be damned. The party of Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon is now just the opposite. Under Donald Trump, it’s become the party of crime and disorder.

"Donald Trump is a convicted felon."

Calling President Trump a convicted felon is like calling biden a devout Catholic. Neither have earned the title.

God says, “You better call on somebody that knows you. I tried to help you. I sent you Donald Trump. You rejected him for Lying Joe Biden. You are on your own”.

“One party puts their political opposition on prison.

It’s called totalitarianism.

They know it and support it.”

Putting your political opposition in prison quickly becomes putting them in the ground.

What is laughable is that the Hill assumes they deserve credibility and they shoot themselves in the foot again with a Hit Piece like this.

If NY was trying to serve justice then they would have done the following:

1. Start prosecuting actual crimes. NYC needs law/order.

2. Prosecute Trump in a venue where the Jury Pool is more balanced politically.

The People have seen the Soviet style approach on this. And anyone defending this approach or even ignoring why it’s so bad doesn’t have a leg of credibility to stand upon.
