Trump "took advantage" of his right to speak. Noted.

"Trump "took advantage" of his right to speak. Noted."

Just the other day you noted that no one noticed the casual lefty embrace of violence. Now you note that progs view using one's right to speak as "taking advantage," really a kind of temporary privilege granted by the POB. Careful! Down this path lies deplorable deplorability.

This is the one thing Trump excels at. Nobody can turn the Common Man upside down quicker and shake the change out of them than Trump.

It's really no different from mega pastors using the offering plate to fund their multi-million dollar lifestyle, with the private jets and Rolex watches. And Trump's message to his base isn't so different from that of evangelical preachers: Redemption only at his hand ("Only I can fix this"), warn them about dark forces in the real world that threaten them ("the Deep State"), tell them not to trust any information from outside the bubble ("Fake News Media"), and keep pounding on them to reach into their pockets.

They used to call these people “suckers.” Now they call them “donors.”

Note the swamp has gagged the 14,000 hours of videotape from Jan 6. It's gagging all the way down ... or up, depending on one's perspective.

And this is the fundamental difference between conservatives and the left.

Lawyers and judges on the left, people who are supposed to know the law, think the first amendment is a talking point.

And that the second amendment is nothing more than a vague suggestion.

These sides are not reconcilable...

Uhh, No. The fishing stinks when the lakes and ponds are at their warmest.

Remember Ken Starr? He was attacked and mocked 24/7/365 by every Democrat in congress and every Leftwing Hollyweirdo and every MSM Columnist.

But we're supposed to pretend that Stalinist DOJ operative Smith, who has a record of hating Trump, is somehow some objective agent of the law, and the Defense team and the accused cant say anything against him.

Again, I blame the Republicans in congress and the losers who are competeing against Trump for the nomintion. They dont' care if the D's take out Trump. With the R's, its every man for himself, and the only thing you have to do is please the Big Donors. If these assholes would speak out and attack Stalinist Garland and his witch hunt against Trump, we'd probably see the end of it. But they wont fight for Trump or the Republican party or their voters, just the Big Donors. SHow me the money baby!

It's like the new improved definition of Obstruction of Justice, field-tested against Trump:
to proclaim one's innocence is to obstruct justice.

Jack Smith, after his face plant in the VA Governor case, has definitely a punchable face.

But I bet you're OK with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson...

I certainly understand why people do not like Donald Trump. But the way the left want to destroy him is similar to the way Hamas wants to destroy Israel.

In fairness. Journos aren't law experts 😂

Trump is pouncing!

Ampersand said...

Unprecedented uses of the legal system will cause unprecedented harm to the legitimacy of our courts and elections. The people who believe that the transcendent urgency of stopping Trump justifies any collateral damage are making bad choices.

It sounds like you are saying that the way in which the left are attempting to send Donald Trump to jail via prolonged legal proceedings is similar to the way Hamas killed babies in order to destroy Israel.

Bravo. Well done, Prof.

Sure, Rich.

Maybe if your lefty heroes were sharp enough to stop charging him with fake crimes, his schtick wouldn't be so wildly successful.

The son of a bitch has some nerve, defending himself...and raising money for the purpose!

None of these witch trials will matter in about 30 days, when nuclear warfare and massive global terrorism events garner attention.
