Abe Lincoln Convicted in Confederacy of Freeing Slaves In Other News Trump Convicted
Travesty of Justice
There is no difference. Trump being convicted in a pre-meditated trial is not any different than a judge from the Confederacy convicting Abe Lincoln for freeing the slaves after the Emancipation Proclamation was announced. Oh, and if you know anything about Communist Russian dictator Joseph Stalin you know the quote, “Show me the man and I will show you the crime.”
Stalin killed more people than Hitler for what it is worth.
I think the most interesting tweet I saw was from David Horowitz. He said, “We knew for months that this would happen so what are we going to do?”
I have an idea.
They will sentence Trump on July 11th, four days before the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, WI. I hope they sentence him to jail. I don’t think the Jacobin left can avoid it. They need a perp walk. They need to see Trump in the orange jumpsuit.
Trump should retreat to Florida.
Every single Republican should say that if NY wants to extradite Trump from their state to NY to serve jail time, they will fight the extradition. Trump can freely roam and campaign in their states. If there are fair-minded Democratic governors they could join. But, if they don’t, we know where they stand.
They are on the side of fascism because that is exactly what this is.
You might not like Trump. You might not agree with Trump. For you, this is a John Adams moment. The second president of the United States was no pal of Britain. He abhorred the idea of British troops in Boston, MA. Yet, when push came to shove he defended British troops who were accused by a mob of committing crimes they didn’t commit.
Adams said he wanted a country that upheld the rule of law. He didn’t want a country where the law was different for different classes of people.
Today’s verdict was a bastardization of the rule of law. It is evidence that if the State or a bunch of powerful people want to get you they can.
In answer to Mr. Horowitz's question, “What do we do about it?”
Let Trump roam free as a bird in Republican governed state. Fight any and all extradition including the use of the police force and any military that the governor controls.
Republican Attorney Generals need to engage in lawfare against any and all Democrat officials, including officials in their states. If you are a Republican Attorney General, and you have a Democratic Secretary of State, find something, anything to charge them with. I hate tit for tat, but tit for tat in this case is a lot better than shots being fired.
In heavily Republican-dominated states, make life very difficult for Democrats. Do everything you can within the rules of your state to hinder every single idea, statement, or initiative Democrats have. If you can do things without committee hearings, go for it. Shut them out. Democrats actively do it to Republicans. Hence, in Ohio, defy Governor Mike DeWine’s move to put Biden on the ballot. Leave him off the ballot in Ohio. Before this ruling, I was in favor of DeWine’s move.
Donate some extra dollars if you can after Joe Biden’s inflation to Trump and any national legislative race. Flip your legislature to Republicans if you can. Democrats are now the party of Fascism. They make no bones about it.
It is time for civil, and I stress the word civil, disobedience. That can be painful. But, it’s time to flout politically motivated Democratic rules. March peacefully in the streets. Ignore rules. Don’t pay fees if you can. We know now that Covid was an engineered crisis that was designed to get rid of Trump, not for public health. It’s time to fight all that stuff.
When they march in the streets, meet them. March against them.
If you are a contractor, maybe pick and choose who you work for. If you show up to a house and a Hamas flag is in front or a BLM sign is in the yard, maybe go to the next job and have them go down the list. Work on out-of-the-closet Republican homes or non-outwardly political homes first. Make them suffer.
At your establishment, put up a bumper sticker or flag. It doesn’t have to say “Trump” but it might say “Don’t Tread on Me” or something like that. Let people know. The Silent Majority cannot stay in the closet anymore. It’s hilarious that when I walk down my street, I know if an American flag flies out in front of the house I know they are conservative.
The verdict today is not any different than if Abraham Lincoln had been tried in the South back in 1862.
Ted Stevens: DoJ withholds exculpatory evidence
Tom Delay: bogus legal theory, overturned on appeal
Bob McDonnell: bogus legal theory, overturned on appeal
Mitt Romney: Harry Reid lied about him not paying taxes
Is there a pattern?
Your comment about flags reminded me of a recent exchange with a neighbor. She told me that she had just come back from a trip to the south and the people were nicer than expected, but there were a lot of big trucks flying those big nasty flags. In surprise, I asked "They were openly flying confederate flags?" Her response, "No, American flags!"
We have an American flag mounted on our house. Maybe, she didn't make the connection?
Thoughtful post, Jeff, welcomed at a time like this. Thinking about your suggestions. For the time being NYC is dead to me.
