Liberals might be scratching their heads over why potential Donald Trump rivals are rushing to denounce his indictment. The reason is simple. Conservative Republicans know that if this assault is allowed to stand, they will be next.
The left, as well as the rabble of never-Trump Republicans, like to tell everybody that the unprecedented measures taken against Trump – culminating with this week’s indictment – are justified because he poses a unique threat to our precious democracy.
Just to review, we’re talking about measures like Democrats impeaching him twice on the flimsiest of grounds. Like federal law enforcement

Thankfully, I'm pushing 80 and won't have to be around when we let the commies take over.

FTA: “ The left has now perfected its plans and strategies for multi-year, wide-ranging, never-ending attacks on the political opposition. It won’t ever stop until it is made to stop.”
Take heed Republicans. No one is exempt from the left’s strategy. They have perfected the politics of personal destruction now with the full government support. If you seriously want to save this country from their intention to fundamentally change it, you will support President Trump. They have decided to use the law as a weapon and if they are successful with this prosecution, the country will remain in the hands of these communists and they will wage war against any opposition. Christians put on the full armor of God because we will be their first target. They will strip all churches of their tax exempt status, and begin to round up pastors, priests, and anyone who dares to oppose their agenda on religious grounds. Democrats have shown us their playbook and if you like what is happening now in the courts, in our blue cities, in our schools, and at our state Capitol buildings, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Democrats will release their unhinged radicals into our communities to wreak havoc.
These people are not like us. They will do anything to retain power. Our only hope to combat this is to unite because what they are doing to a former President will not stop with him. His prosecution is an example of their power. We cannot ignore this unprecedented attack because we don’t like Trump. He is really not the focus of their hatred. Anyone who dares stand up for this country and its people will be made a target in a similar manner. If you believe this will stop after they railroad Trump, think again. It will be everyone of us who loves this country and opposes their radical anti-American ideology. If they destroy him, they will turn their eyes to his supporters because they know 70+ million supporters are going to be a problem for them. Their answer will come with gun confiscation and that is when things turns ugly. We cannot win this war unless we unite and I am afraid many Republicans would rather surrender than come together.
The prosecution of President Trump was their declaration of war. They are determined to prove they have the power to do whatever they want to do and no one can stop them. I hope and pray Republicans will think long and hard about what just happened. A statement was made. You have no power to oppose us.

We need to have all of the Democrats say, "No person is above the law". Shout it out. These tables are turning. Trump makes Chess moves. Just watch how Trump manipulates this. When the narrative shifts those words will be powerful. Trump wins another. What do we learn from Sun Tzu? When strong appear weak.

Remember how Bush didn't fight back? Donald Trump was so comparatively refreshing because he fought back. Bush was so freaking weak that he's now like them. Some thought him more noble because he was a weeny, but where did that get us? The left has been building and building our destruction, and we've been playing fair and nice. When they get absolute power, they will imprison and kill us without blinking. We should have gotten them first.

This is an ALL OUT effort to attempt to ruin TRUMP. The reporting is that this is about an non-disclosure agreement-- when attacking a republican, matters dealing with sexual topics are like a "Scarlet Letter", but when it is about demonrat Socialist Marxists, it's nothing to trifle over.... The late Great Rush Limbaugh used to joke that it was a "resume` enhancement"
This onslaught is media driven, like always nowadays. Whatever other charges dealing with his businesses, is an attempt to take Mr.TRUMP down a la Al Capone on a tax evasion sort of scheme. If his business made mistakes, they would be considered misdemeanors.
If he willfully did this, they might get a felony charge, but they are throwing a lot of stuff hoping SOMETHING will stick to the wall. One area not always mentioned is that the "statute of limitations" has passed and that some of the money paid to do this "fishing expedition/witch hunt" was paid with FEDERAL dollars and the weaponized Justice Department chose not to join in the prosecution due to lack of evidence!
We saw what FAKE dossiers and media rumor spreading did-- WASTED millions of dollars, and so far very little consequence for Hitlery using campaign contributions to pay for the Steele script, and Comey laughing all the way to the bank and NoBama's people getting off scot free. What about that $850,000 paid to Paula Jones and attacks on Bill's other women to squelch "bimbo eruptions"????
Attacks on YOU if you dare to challenge them on this-- if you are a DEMONRAT, its clear that you get away with whatever you want, no matter how bad it could potentially be, so they are going for broke on this one just to see HOW FAR they can go on getting away with it in this "test case"-- they have ruined our economy, our unique American Culture, and now they are going after a President.
Man, they either have a lot of demented judgement to push it with nonthing by media saturation, or think they have the balls to pull this off so they can take others down with made-up flimsy charges that the prosecution thinks it can make hay with.
Meanwhile, the Vegetable and his son Hunter's corruption are OUT of the NEWS

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang together."
Benjamin Franklin thought this wisdom to be appropriate for the last revolution and I maintain that it is sound advice for the coming one. When our thoroughly corrupt government begins coming for more individuals who dare to defy them, they need to be facing one hundred million citizens who are carrying pitchforks or those dreaded black rifles and are prepared to use them. King George III got off easy because he was royalty and had an ocean to protect him, our own dictatorship will not be so lucky.

I agree totally, the left has attacked every Republican president or candidate with the most vile allegations. They even turned nasty against their fellow travelers McCain and Romney. They viciously attacked Nixon and drove him from office. Ronald Reagan was viciously attacked. I see family members express support for DeSantis because they believe he will be a kind and gentle person who the left will not find so offensive. If they can destroy Trump and make an example of him, then every future Republican candidate will be cowed into submission and every citizen will fear to express his views. I believe it is imperative that we support Trump and insist the fraud they will again use to try to deny his election be exposed and overturned in the 2024 election.

Lawfare, where process is punishment in and of itself.
J6ers, imprisoned, lives ripped off _without_ even the whiff of "right to a speedy trial", etc.
Never-ending Trump persecution...
Fraudulent "election" of traitors and assorted criminals...
What is left for Norman Rockwell to paint?
Peaceful solution is now beyond our grasp.

Posters #2 and #7 have it COMPLETELY correct! If one has paid attention over the last several decades you could see, with little effort, the progression of aggression by the left against ANY Republican, but particularly Conservatives. They used to be mildly subtle decades ago, but no longer need to walk on egg shells. The radicals of the 60s/70s are in full control of the government, and like the good little commies they truly are will squash any patrotic American on a whim.

The leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats are banking on the wimpy Republican and RINO history of caving to their demands. As an example if the wimpy Republicans are lucky enough to ever win a general election again in the future, will the resulting wimpy Republican Administration have the nerve to legitimately investigate and prosecute corrupt Democrat corruption and influence peddling in foreign countries as the Biden family has a history of doing? Corrupt actions which have had obviously a lot of influence over the way Biden has been compromised in his dealings against Communist China and Ukraine. On the other side of that coin, if the wimpy Republicans do proceed to investigate corrupt Democrat operatives and politicians, the Democrat will respond that those actions are in revenge for the Democrats investigating and indicting the evil Trump.

#2 is touching on many points, and these Progressive Democrats (need to stop calling them communists or socialists, but something that actually connects to their vote registration, and the Democrat party).
I would recommend reading the other post today - NY Citizens' Voter Audit Challenges Blue-State Hegemony, and their efforts discovering voter registration irregularities. Click on the highlighted links from The Zack Files - The Number People.
You'll start to see first-hand the lengths and breath of how far they've used the system to their advantage, but it may not be legal, and needs more people to help root out in other states.

FTA: "It won’t ever stop until it is made to stop."
Only one solution, and it is not via the corrupted ballot box.
Bush was always one of them, as are most elected Republicans. We just didn't know it until Trump. We didn't know a lot of things until Trump. They won't be unlearned.

Like everything else this corrupt administration has done, this will backfire bigly.
They have set a number of very significant precedents:
We can now raid any former president’s home with armed jackboot stormtroopers with trumped up bogus charges. Do you hear that Skidmark, Byteme, Frat Boy Clinton, and George W? All former presidents, vice presidents, senior executive services appointees can now have all their homes, offices and family business raided by the Brown shirts.
All family members and their personal and business IRS records are now fair game. Do you on the left see that? You don’t seem to be able to see the long-term effect of this act of treason against a former President, do you?
So, you file bogus and illegal criminal charges against a former president and you want him frog marched in an orange jump suit in manacles for the world to see your absolute stupidity. If you don’t think retribution is just around the corner, you’re a fool. But we already know that.
The Conservatives will be in power again, hopefully really soon, so what’s good for the radical left, the conservative now have the right to do the same. You guys on the left didn’t really think this one through, did you?
And your lockdown of the American population for the bogus scamdemic, you on the left had only one shot at making that work in your favor, and you failed. Lock downs will never happen again, we, the American public are on to you scams.
Just take this into account, we the American public have over 200 million guns and a trillion or so rounds of ammunition. We will not go the ‘re-education camps’ without a lot of blood spilled on your side. Just think, over 6 million real combat veterans are on the conservative side of this. The left is pushing for a civil war, it will not end well for the communists.
And, we, the American Patriots, have God on our side.

Great post, #14, but one important correction - the number of guns in the hands of private citizens in this country is more than 500 million and growing daily.

I disagree. The test cases were Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.

In addition to #2's reference to gun confiscation, I would expect bank accounts would be frozen or access to them would be severely restricted and access to credit would be denied until "appropriate" behavior is achieved. There is already precedence for this. Recall the truckers' protest in Ottawa Kanada last year. PM Trudie brought the truckers to their knees by threatening to freeze their bank accounts if they refused to end their protect.

#16, test cases go back further than that. Just from Texas, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was indicted and the trial lasted less than 5 minutes; Congressman Tom DeLay was indicted, convicted by an Austin jury, and had to go to Texas Supreme Court to get his conviction overturned; and Governor Rick Perry was indicted when he was planning to run for president. All those indictments came out of the Austin DA's office before the Texas legislature finally wised up and changed the law. But the Austin DA coordinated with the DNC and the likes of Hillary Clinton. That one tyrannical, evil woman has had a wide and destructive impact on electoral politics.

It won’t ever stop until it is made to stop.
Question is: Do we have enough or even a few courageous DAs in this country to sue the everliving daylights out
out of crooks in this government, including Biden, his brother, his son, his family and others i.e. Fauci, Schumer,
PELOSI, The Turtle McConnell (who cares if they're in Congress)...Will we ever FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE?
SUE the crooked DAs in this country who have blood on their hands by releasing felons into society to kill, rob,
and destroy American citizens. Sue the ever living daylights out of Mayrokas for releasing 15 million illegal aliens
into our country. (AND USE GOVT. FUNDS) SUE governors like Gov. Grusome for destroying California and allowing illegals to roam the streets to murder the citizens...see L.A., S.F. Oakland, Sacramento and other streets for the evidence.
