There is so much wrong with this legal pursuit of the former President. I'm not a fan, he is not really a fiscal or social conservative. Set that aside. I did vote for him over the cogitator in chief.

My main concern is the totally lack of seriousness this exudes. Process crimes ginned up from unused and controversial federal laws... they are a way of making people care less and less about the political process. The whole thing, which has long been farcical is now moving into a kind of Mexican soap opera that will drive folks to thinking this isn't real and it isn't relevant. It will darken their awareness that they must be involved to protect their freedoms.

Sadly, everyone has forgotten how much good was done by Trump in office against never ending smears and odds. Even friends I know that liked him and voted for him now want any GOP other than him. The Swamp Republicans are in league with Dems. Make the story all about him, everyday. They want the story about him to solidify the division in this country and in the Republican Party. Finally in the end, the Republican Party will elect a “safe” candidate to run forever alienating millions of Conservatives. The elections have never been fixed, whatever outcome they wish will happen. We are now nothing but a State run propaganda machine called the media. And we are under a state run police and justice system.

Everyone here knows how much I hate Donald Trump.

But the persecution of this man is off-the-charts and unprecedented - except perhaps in some banana republics.

But you know who I'm starting to hate even more than despicable Donald are my stalwart GOP Senators and Representative who stand by while the country burns down. Those bastards need to swing.

Thank you. An honest answer. I won’t press you for details on why you “hate” Donald Trump. That’s a strong verb, but I’ll move on. Since I watched Trump almost single-handedly bring this country back from the brink of disaster (a Hillary presidency) I’ve come to respect him more and detest the republican members of the Uniparty even more. They are the individuals that have brought us to this point. They’ve spent our hard-earned tax dollars; they’ve made deals to profit themselves; they’ve put their money into laundering schemes that they now want to hide from our eyes; they’ve drawn us into useless wars that have spent lives and treasury and they’ve been doing it a LOT LONGER than Trump has been on the scene. I don’t have a crystal ball but I will say that some day we will all thank Trump for taking the slings and arrows (which I personally do right now), for starting to clean up the mess that the uniparty members have left behind. It is their participation in the Democrats’ schemes through their power and greed that has nearly destroyed this country. I repeat, this started a long time ago, and to not lay the blame on those that came before him and where it should be lain is truly shortsighted and totally unfair.

A precedent is being set - one with eyes can see it. Who has been more involved in espionage than Biden with his $5M payoffs from a foreign country? Obama’s involvement in FISA? Hillary’s (and Bill’s) election interference through the Russia hoax. (I’m sure I’m missing something else) These are acts to potentially overthrow the United States of America. That is treason. While America has been sleeping, Trump has been working to expose these treasonous acts. Two-thirds of this country are now seeing the two-tiered system of justice; they are seeing the long-loved institutions become nothing more than mobs of hit men going against their rivals. The uniparty members aren’t involved and aren’t helping.

President Andrew Jackson created the Jacksonian Democracy; he gained the respect and loyalty of the people. Trump is now calling his followers MAGADONIANS. I will gladly use that label. Trump may be the battering ram now. The tables will turn.

The reason I hate Donald Trump is that he is phony as a 3-dollar bill. He did nothing to stop the Deep State, all the while loudly bragging about how he was going to drain the swamp (which he didn't even try to do.)

SMH! It’s happening right before your eyes but you are blinded by your hate.

If the Left go this insane, if they are willing to cross the Rubicon (multiple times, really) to get rid of Trump, then there must be a reason. Even if I don't know the reason, it makes me think Trump should be the candidate.

Well, except for the hate Trump part but that would be obvious from my other comments.

Remember, Fred, Trump is the only person in my memory (and I remember where I was when JFK was assassinated), who has ever stood up for the American people against the Deep State, Cabal, Shadow Government, or whatever you want to call them. Hate away. He had your back too.

No, he didn't.

But have a great day anyway, Connie.

Frankly, given the stratospheric level of unbridled hatred for DJT, I have been surprised that the DS did not take him out like they did with JFK. I expected it throughout his entire four years.

Exactly Laurie. The Republican Party is the RINO wing of the Uniparty and they are fellow travelers with the Dem Bolsheviks.

THe point is this: the uniparty will do everything in their power to divide the populist liberty movement against itself for we are their enemy. The Dem Bolsheviks and the Rep RINOS are in league with each other against the American people. I don't Fred but he represents that attempt to divide the populist movement that has been energized by Trump and DeSantis. Trump is the weapon of choice and the time will come when DeSantis will have to back him.

That "lack of seriousness" extends to our nation's sexual perversion fetishes; our foreign so-called policy towards most other nations; our wonderful beautiful secure borders ... The ghostly spirits of Becket, Ionesco and Adamov may be leading our national conscience.

Yes. Yes. I think extends to EVERYTHING that the Federal government touches. Academia has been ruined by federal interference and "funding" with strings. The student loan program is crazy. The 'rescued' automakers who should have been left to die or change, the financial industry, healthcare. You name it. Everywhere I go you can see that grotesque clown show of governmental influence.

Sadly, I agree that this is a real risk with thinking voters. But, how many of them are there? Those voting for the team whose jersey they wear will continue to do so.

Thanks so much for this. I agree. I'm find myself having to ask myself how much attention, energy etc to devote to the unseriousness, but I need to be more intentional about this.
