You're right about being in uncharted water. Trump is the first ex-president to have committed so many crimes. Before now, we might have disagreed with the actions of some presidents, but they were bound by ethics to do the best job for the country that they could do. Trump changed all that, and if he is allowed to get away with it, we will all suffer. Nobody is above the law. I just wish you crazy MAGAs knew that.31 Mar 2023 ~~ By John Hinderaker
A Rubicon Is Crossed
So the Democrats decided to indict Donald Trump after all. (I assume that Alvin Bragg would not have proceeded without a green light from higher-ups in the party.) Here, as in so many other areas, we are in uncharted waters. The Democrats have launched a sort of blitzkrieg against our traditions, our Constitution, our culture (at least, our culture as it was), and every form of restraint that makes civil society possible. They have unleashed a wind, and seem serenely confident that they will never face a whirlwind. I don’t know, maybe they are right. I do know that after today, our country will never be the same again.
In the short term, the indictment will help Donald Trump politically. Perhaps that was the Democrats’ intention. But I don’t think any of us can foresee how it will play out. Legally speaking, the indictment is a joke. No doubt Trump will try to have it dismissed, but I don’t know enough about criminal procedure in New York to have any idea how long that will take, or what his prospects of success are. Bear in mind that any motion to dismiss will most likely be heard by a Trump-hating Democratic judge. If the case makes it to trial, it will go before a New York jury that probably will consist entirely of Democrats and–once again–Trump haters. There is no way a conviction can be ruled out. Appeals would follow, likely taking a year or more.

But I do know that today is an evil day in America’s history. The Democrats are behaving like a party from a pre-Enlightenment, pre-constitutional era. Seeing themselves in the driver’s seat, they are making a naked grab for totalitarian power across a broad range of issues and institutions. Indicting a former president on frivolous grounds is shocking, but it is of a piece with the strategies Democrats are following in Washington and across the country.
Commentary:
Maoist Democrats are not only dangerous totalitarians, they also have a monopoly on the levers of power - the “press”, the Judiciary, the legal profession, many in professional sports, the hollowed-out military, Big Business, the trash in what’s left of Hollywood, the Democratic Senate and 80 percent of the so-called Rs in the Senate. What do we have?? Smarts, ingenuity, numbers, the rising Red States, and the House of Representatives.
Logic dictates that Alvin Bragg would not have proceeded without a green light from higher-ups in the party. Say, like the Atty. General Merrick Garland.
Then there's the new legal standard created by Pelosi that you must prove your innocence. That is only true with respect to conservatives in a Maoist Democrat Commie kangaroo court similar to our brothers and sisters locked up in DC. If you are okay with that, I guess it is okay for us to stand there and do nothing when you're wrongly accused and convicted.
According to the U.S. Constitution, its Amendments and the Bill of Rights you are innocent until proven guilty. The prosecution must prove your guilt beyond all reason.
They wanted a bull in the china shop, and they damn sure got it.You're right about being in uncharted water. Trump is the first ex-president to have committed so many crimes.

So are you ready to appologize to Clinton?You called Trump a sleaze ball. If Trump is a sleaze ball because he had sexual relations with women outside of his marriage, many if not most of our Presidents are also sleaze balls.

In all seriousness, I don't know what they're upset about.You're right about being in uncharted water. Trump is the first ex-president to have committed so many crimes.

Didn't you say you were an octogenarian in another thread? Your body is going to be cold before we can expect this geriatric retatliation.~~~~~~~
Just angrier than hell. I don't cry. I pay it back in spades. Payback served well when cold and least expected.
Please, the hysteria is too to much here. Trump is in trouble because he broke laws. Just like Bill Clinton did, who faced Justice. Trump's turn.31 Mar 2023 ~~ By John Hinderaker

Neither was your original comment.Okay..he was president in this century for either a little over a year or 21 day depending on how you look at it. Hardly relevant to today's discussion.
So this means Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are next right Blob?

The Rubicon that was crossed is the change in the criminal standard. You are guilty until you can prove your innocence. There need not even be a crime. Just the allegation is enough to charge the crime and apportion guilt.Trump hasn't been found guilty. So the rubicon hasn't be crossed. This is just fear mongering for those who don't realize what an indictment is. It's neither guilty or not guilty. It's simply set to go to trial.
That's where the verdict will come.

That's the Rubicon that was crossed. Trump was merely the vehicle.

Pelosi is old and senile or she would not have articulated the new standard. It doesn't mean that there isn't a new standard.He's not been found guilty yet. He's only been indicted. HUGE difference.
If you're going on some BS that Pelosi said, you really shouldn't. She's old and senile.

You left out Gennifer Flowers.
You gonna stop buying Cheetos for a month? That'll damage the Joseph Biden (God's choice) awesome economy.~~~~~~~
