Seriously? So, Democrats control the White House, and federal and county law enforcement agencies are prosecuting the leading opposition candidate for president in four judicial venues from now until, if not through election day 2024? All charges stem from allegations two or more years old? Why have all of these indictments popped up since April?
All the trial venues are heavily weighted with Democrat voters who will fill the jury pools. Two of the District Attorneys who brought indictments ran their elections promising to prosecute former President Trump. Woke media from coast to coast and all Trump-haters have pronounced Trump guilty of all charges. There’s no scintilla of a presumption of innocence among them. The deck is stacked against Mr. Trump.
What has the former president done? It’s not like he bribed Ukrainian authorities with one billion taxpayer dollars to protect his son from prosecution in Ukraine, is it? He didn’t raise the inflation rate to a forty year high in less than one year, did he? He’s not sending a billion dollars per year to the Taliban in Afghanistan, is he? And, he didn’t open the southern border to millions illegal aliens including terrorists on watch lists and immigrants from nearly 100 nations?
Apparently, whatever the former president did was so bad that all the resources of the federal government, the Democrat Party, and the woke media are martialing against him and anyone who supports him. As the former president has said: “They are not coming after me, they’re coming after you. I just happen to be standing in their way.” Could that be true?
Some news media have alleged former President Trump instigated an insurrection at the Capitol January 6, 2021. If so, it was poorly planned. How many guns were the “insurrectionists” carrying? Thousands? No, out of the thousands of rioters that day only a few had weapons of any kind. Of course the majority Democratic House appointed a January 6 committee to investigate what happened. What happened? We don’t know. But, Republicans in the House are investigating now.
The highlight of last week’s persecutions … uh, prosecutions was no doubt Trump’s mugshot at the Fulton County jail in Georgia. Did District Attorney Fani Willis intend to humiliate or belittle Trump? After all, she’s a county official prosecuting a man who at the time of the charge was still President of the United States. That’s quite a gold star for her wall of fame!
Regardless, upon release of the mugshot the Internet bloomed with all kinds of novelties bearing the image of a very serious Donald Trump. Instantaneously the image has become a rallying point for Trump supporters and has fired up his followers even more than each of the indictments. So far, everything the Democrats and media have done to prevent Trump from running and winning the presidency has boosted his national poll numbers.
The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be about the power of government over the people. Look out for more emergencies that will suspend constitutional order. A new variant of Covid is bringing warnings of emergency mandates and lockdowns. Ballot harvesting and other election shenanigans will likely raise alarms on both sides. Can this lawfare scheme take out Democrats’ number one opponent? If so, the rest of us had better beware.

Because they are scared to death he may be the next president.
And they are scared to death, too -- if the election is fair and if the election is free -- that Trump will be all out of bubble gum.
Trump didn’t have the numbers to win in 2020 and more ignorant boomers die every day. Meanwhile, more young progressives become voting age every single day. Republicans don’t have a message that resonates with anyone who isn’t old, white, uneducated, and male. That’s not a combination for success.
D.L. needs to stop listening to what his tin foil hat tells him and face reality. There is a plethora of evidence against Trump, and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. Nobody is above the law, not even a former president.
@4:39
What about a corrupt sitting president and his son? Are they above the law?
Don't know what the hell bubble-gum has to do with anything. The real issue here is chocolate chip ice cream and pablum.
@5:02
All you are doing is deflecting. Hunter Biden has already been charged with crimes. There is zero evidence that Joe Biden has done anything illegal. They are not above the law either.
The indictment for the ridiculous actions of the idiot at his home in Mar-a-Lago was for something that actually happened over two years ago, but the feds tried to work with the narcissist for over a year while he did his normal tango dance - lying, pretending to respond, etc all the while hiding the material he illegally took. The warrant (required after he dodged for as long as he did) was only a year ago. Pretty damn fast indictment for a federal case. The indictment for his attempting to overthrow our democracy, ending with his triumphant rally on Jan 6th is not untimely - for a federal investigation and indictment to take two years is actually quite fast.
What would you like - that none of this be prosecuted until 2026, likw the don suggests? Hell, by that time, after having been beaten by the senile Biden, again, DJT would be running again and saying that the attempts to bring about justice would be interferring with his losing campaign for 2028?
Truth is, some folks don't think justice applies to them, or to the God that the idiolize. Fact is, justice applies to all and should be done regardless of who is inconvenienced.
If the don doesn't like having multiple indictments and be facing several criminal trials, he should learn that the law applies to him. if he would quit breaking the law he wouldn't be facing all these trials.
If there is evidence that the Bidens committed crimes, by all means it should to presented to a court of law and they should be prosecuted. So far Comer and Gym Jordan hadn’t shown me anything that you could present to a jury . Meanwhile Trump has prosecutors asking for summary judgements.
@ 4:37 - You think boomers are uneducated? Compare the survey you took under the Starbuck's umbrella with national surveys.
Besides being untrue, you must know that boomers don't have unmarketable degrees such as Women in the Workforce, Diversity and Equity in The New World and America's New Glass Ceiling - Transexualism in the 2030s.
Lol @ 4:37, younger females are still becoming liberal, but younger males are becoming conservative these days. Plus the far left is losing younger people with their agenda. Now that you’ve sent illegal aliens everywhere, the NIMBY Liberals are being exposed and you’re going to lose the minorities because that’s where you’re dumping them. Now we all know if Trump did win in 2020 you hypocritical smooth brains would be screaming about election fraud and not my president like you were in 2016.
If indictments had been sooner, DL would be raging about a "rush to judgement" or "lynching".
DL somehow is old enough to remember when nepotism, no one being above the law, lying and moral turpitude were seen as evil. But, perhaps, he couldn't see well or hear because of the white pointy hat that also masked his face.
DL probably, thinks Melania is the most beautiful and elegant of First Ladies and I wouldn't disagree, but her husband cheated on her with a porn star while she was pregnant and paid her to keep quiet. He risked his gift to the mother of his last son being an STD. Yet, DL, who quotes Scriptures to us regularly, is blind to Trump's sins (for which he has never ever shown remorse).
I would remind DL, there's a Commandment about "bearing false witness" and there's no exceptions in the Bible. And, while you can be forgiven for sins, you must go forth and sin no more. Now, the worst of us humans argue that we are all sinners means we get to keep on doing it, but even that requires we acknowledge the sin and say " I'm sorry" every time.
Your moral code isn't Christianity, it's what's convenient in the moment. That's incompatible with another Commandment aka " The Golden Rule".
4:37, oh puleeze. Dem Wokester politics is destroying not only their nation but their party.
Blacks, parents, people of faith, Asians, Latinos, all rejecting woke racists such as you, along with working class and middle class whites. Democrats led among Latinos by 42 points in October 2012, 38 points in October 2016, and 26 points in October 2020. It's panic time at the DNC, and your spewing their tired old propaganda is hilare.
You've captured the essence of the New Dem Party bigotry-anti white, anti theist, anti male, anti American, anti heterosexual, anti normal- WHAT a magic formula for losing. The War on Normal and Sanity- yet another war brought to you by the Dem Woke WarHawk Party. Go grab a case of Bud Light to soothe your agida and burn a flag and the Constitution.
We are not going anywhere, but to victory.
Yes, legally gathering evidence that someone has committed a crime takes time. You can't arrest someone on "feelings" and "suspicions". You can't seize evidence from a person or his property just because you want to do so.
Very few criminals are caught by law enforcement in the act of committing their crime.
Geez, DL, how long before Murdock's cheating of his clients unraveled? Or, closer to home, Bernie Ebbers? Let's face it, white collar crimes and those committed by elected officials are harder to prove. Even serial killers who leave bodies behind can take a long time before sufficient evidence is found.
While it's frustrating, it's something we should be happy about since, unlike in Russia or N. Korea, we can't be arrested on a whim or a newly invented crime.
Yet, you are touting a man who has openly said, according to those he chose to work for him, that he wanted to imprison his political enemies and thought Guantanamo would be suitable. But,you don't read trial transcripts or sworn testimony. The number of those who tried to stop him from extreme abuses of power, even those who didn't resign in fear they'd face the law someday, is growing every day.
Good Lord, one of those asking to be separately tried ( Chesebro) calls Powell (whose lies you believed) " a Kraken" and doesn't want to be tried with her. Look Kraken up.
You don't even look at Canadian or reliable international news sources.
You don't even bother to read what those indicted said when they were under oath. You just listen to their continued lies and accusations they continue when they have a media microphone... not the one in front of them after they've sworn to tell the truth.
A President in this country is supposed to adhere to and respect the law, not ignore the law or break it. When he does " We the People" get go to the courts with our grievance. You want a Dictator or King to head church and state and to be accepted by the ruling party.
Our Founders understood that both a Democracy (which could result in tyranny of the majority or mob rule) and a Republic (see Caesars and Rome) both had serious flaws. They tried to hammer together a Democratic Republic).
The real irony is Democracy gives States more power, and Republics give power to the central government and its elite aka Federalists.
Donald Trump should be in prison.
The wedge issues pushed by the GOP, will cost them in 2024, they will drag Trump down !
If Trump caused an insurrection, then prosecute him and his co-conspirators. But do the exact same for BLM and Antifa, which 100% rioted and destroyed several cities. The court and prosecutorial bias against Trump while turning a blind eye to the pandemic riots is absurd. NY was recently even giving money to people arrested during the Floyd riots. I just can't wrap my head around this.
It is always hard to warp your head around a fantasy. The fact is there is hard evidence of Trumps crimes .
@239
For what crime?
"The wedge issues pushed by the GOP, will cost them in 2024, they will drag Trump down !", you really haven't been paying attention to the polls have you?
@8:01, for possession of classified documents, disclosure of classified information, lying to the FBI, and conspiracy to impede a criminal investigation (the search of Mar a Lago.
I really enjoyed this column that would have been more appropriate as an all-caps screed in the comments section of a fox news article.
A couple of points: (1) Florida and Georgia (after removal to federal court) are probably not going to have heavily democratic jury pools. Federal courts pull randomly from all counties in the district. If you don't like a jury pool, you shouldn't live in or do crimes in that jurisdiction. (2) The capitol riot is mentioned in the DC indictment as a fact, but none of the charges are related to involvement in the riot itself. (3) Getting a mugshot is routine and the decision to do it was from the sheriff's document, not Fanni Willis'. It's also a public record, which is why it was released.
I'm a young, educated female Republican. But sure 4:37.
Whatever helps you sleep at night with your elected Grandpa Sniffy McDementia at the helm.
