a new thought (though, in truth, I had it before I saw it anywhere else), but when we set things up so that a President is charged and threatened with prison as soon as he leaves office, we set it up for that person to “cross the Rubicon” and never leave office. El Presidente for life! They declare themselves the ancient Roman office of Dictator.
In fact, that was exactly the situation with Julius Caesar. He either destroyed the Republic by marching on Rome itself, or faced charges, ruin, and exile.
We ALL know what he chose. He illegally crossed the Rubicon into Rome with troops. And most of us would have chosen the very same thing…
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
You want to prosecute former Presidents for paying off women they slept with? OK, Lefties, but understand well that this puts Bill Clinton and many other Democrats in jeopardy!
Is Alvin Bragg so much of an amateur that he didn’t realize that a charging document has to actually charge a crime? Does he think he can arrest and book a citizen without telling him what crime he’s accused of — like what they used to do in the good old USSR?
Prosecute for rape? Hey, old Joe is allegedly guilty of that. Prosecute lying and chronic dishonesty? I give you…Barack Obama! Hey Lefties, are you SURE you wanna play this game?
.. there’s the Pandora’s box he [Bragg] just opened. Unless the courts put a rapid end to this clown show, he has put the Clintons, Bidens, Obamas, and Pelosis in legal jeopardy — by forever changing the rules of political discourse and criminal justice in America. If the Dems are going to change the rules in their rabid pursuit of The Donald, it’s only appropriate that we review our tactics in light of the new rules.
But hey, Lefties, if YOU insist that these are the new rules… Just remember, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! We have LONG had a “norm” of not prosecuting former Presidents–for a VERY good reason. Say, you know you Lefties are NOT gonna like these new rules of yours!
You know what was the final nail in the coffin of the Roman Empire? Prosecuting former officials. THAT is why Caesar famously rolled the dice. By the time he got to the Rubicon, the die had been well and truly cast.
If Lefties were not so dang ignorant of history they would know better! <sigh>
But they don’t, They have no idea what’s coming! And they won’t like it one bit.
In fact, some on the left understand the concept of turnabout and know these charges are weak and likely to fail. Others are digging up calendars and counting the years since their last hush money payment made during their own campaign.
Either way, so-called liberals should be wary of what a Trump presidency would look and feel like for them. That particular man, wounded and embarrassed and objectively wronged, with no need to tone it down for the campaign, should be of critical concern for anyone with a “D” on their elected office nameplate.
The Trump campaign announced on Friday evening that they hauled in over $4 million in fundraising following the indictment announcement. The campaign touted the grassroots nature of the donations – with an average contribution of $38 – and that a quarter of the money came from first-time donors to the Trump campaign.
Yeah, A QUARTER of the money came from first-time donors, with an average donation of $38! Gee, how many donors who give $38 does it take to hit $4 million?
Indeed, normal people are offended by this gross affront to fairness, propriety, and common sense. Not only are the charges laughably weak from a legal perspective, but this whole thing is clear retaliation–very obviously persecutory. Prosecuting your political opponents is banana republic crap. It is offensive. These spittle-lipped hard Lefty wackos ought to be ashamed!
BUT, these doofs have no shame. This will not end well for them. Do they have no understanding of history at all?
When, 100 years from now, people look back and identify the most goofy and backward things of this era, two things will immediately come to their minds:
Gun control
Surgically mutilating kids in the “Transgender” mania
