The indictment of President Trump is unprecedented; no President, former or current has ever been indicted before. But while that is an interesting historical fact to note, that isn’t the central argument against the indictment.
If Trump were indeed guilty of a crime, he deserves to be punished, irrespective of his being a former president. So, let's examine the case. (snip) The offense of President Trump actually occurred on November 8, 2016; his crime was challenging and beating the establishment; what happened yesterday was merely the formality.
There were myriad attempts before

I believe that horse has already left the stable. It’s what happens next that will determine our future.

It's somehow fitting that the Trump indictment comes on the eve of a national holiday, April 1st, Democrat Party Day!

We are in the grip of lunatics, and I am becoming convinced that we've passed the point of no return. How can an increasingly dumbed down nation, preoccupied with trivia, vote its way out of this predicament?

I could not disagree MORE with the title of this article.
This is NOT Democracy on Life Support.
This IS Democracy on DISPLAY.
And this is why the founding fathers were wise enough to originally have cordoned off just a nod to populism in the House of Representatives and NOWHERE ELSE in the Federal Government.
The more 'democratized' we get, the WORSE things have become.
The HORSE needs to be PUT DOWN at this point. The people have gotten TOO MUCH power while the headlines now run on and on about how the people do not have ENOUGH power.
And it all started with the 17th Amendment. It will end with the removal of the Electoral College, making California the new crown maker.

#3, the United States is a banana republic. I never thought I'd say that, but that's where the progressives have put us.

It died with the fake 2020 election.

non sequitor
The dims and their media say the bitdet received more votes than any candidate in history because the American people love bidet and detest Trump. But the dims and their media are so terrified that Trump could re-win the presidency that they have to destroy him.
evidence that the 2020 election was stolen and they know they can't pull it off again

FTA - "The schadenfreude displayed by figures in the establishment makes it perfectly clear what the goal is -- to eliminate all threats to their one-party system."
What is happening today right before our very eyes is just a warmup.

Trump is the last link we have left to liberty and sanity. It is not he but all patriotic freedom lovers who have been indicted. It is not Democracy but the democratic way and the Constitutional Republic handed down by the Founding Fathers that is in danger.

As I said in an earlier post, after watching Tucker Carlson last night my fears were confirmed: this is not so much about blocking Trump from running (or not) but is totally about creating another "we told you about those Maga Republicans" and recreating another Jan. 6th. So all the Trump supporters out there with flags, etc, WATCH IT!!!! You will be provoked, then "Justice" will sweep in and clamp down, just as they did with the Virginia school parents and the innocents outside Congress on Jan. 6th. An added bonus: it takes eyes off Joe and Hunter and China! A great diversion!!!!!!! At just the right time. You tell ME, Bragg isn't in contact with Justice! SO NO ROWDINESS ET AL. NO MATTER HOW PROVOKED! This isn't so much about Trump (from Justice's point of view) as it is about taking control of our Country. NOT AN EXAGGERATION!

There never was rowdiness on the part of MAGA supporters, #11. The violent provocateurs on J6 were all agents of the federal government. But, they did their job well, as even conservatives have bought into the premise and are now afraid. And that is where they have us.

Bottom line - all of this is because Trump denied Hillary her coronation. It started immediately after Hillary conceded to Trump with her “Resist” movement and has never let up.
“ None of this would ever have happened had he not run for President.”
Wrong - none of this would ever have happened had he not run for President AS A REPUBLICAN. If he had run as a demonrat, they would have kissed his feet.

I'm going to paraphrase a comment I read this morning: Daddy, everytime they go after Trump, Biden gets a check from China.

The U.S. is a police state. The elections are as fair as those in Cuba. The corruption is worse in the U.S., or anywhere else, as there are so many ways here. The Democrats know all of them. President Trump's indictment is slop, and it should be ignored, and nullified by jury, or wherever else possible.

This indictment will prove to be the single event in the downfall of the Democrat Party. It will energize Trumpsters, MAGA, and even those who don't much like Trump to vote for him. It will prove to be the tectonic move that shifts the American electorate in Trump's favor like they won't believe. BIG mistake, Democrats. You will rue this day.

There is no longer a democrat party. They have NO American values and No respect for our institutions and therefore have become our #1 domestic enemy. With this they have declared war on America and will reap the rewards.

I hope #18 is right. I'm reading that the whole thing is another escalation in an attempt to goad patriots into invoking the Second Amendment and restoring freedom. That will give the communists the excuse they need to invoke martial law and suspend the constitution, which was the goal all along. And the weak kneed republicans in congress would go along with it. I'm in the camp of holding the line for now and hoping what little remains of the system the founders invented will be enough.

Also Very Important - Wisconsin election for open seat for Supreme Court Justice - April 4, 2023 - Conservative Judge Daniel Kelly - Wisconsinites, vitally important you vote for Kelly to keep balance on the Court.
