They were warned that even moderates would start to see the selective and sloppy prosecutions as politically motivated. They were warned that people would place the blame for weaponizing the justices system at the feet of the DNC/progressives. They were warned that people are not quite as dumb as journalists think they are. So. What exactly did they expect?

It’s like how everyone said that all the media companies would pull their content from places like Netflix and Hulu so they could create their own streaming services, and they’d all lose money doing so. And then they all did exactly that and are struggling to turn a profit. Modern society is all about ignoring the warning signs.

Modern society is physically incapable of reason because reason requires trade offs and consequences.

They were also warned "get woke, go broke." Media corps aren't making profit on ANYTHING right now. Nobody is listening, and they continue to question why they are failing.

They expect us to be as dumb as they think we are. After all, they went to Higher Education and received Credentials, so they Know Better.

Ignoring that a lot of us are credentialed from higher education too. And we probably have a more difficult degree and got better grades.

Maybe this is why historically the middle class wasn't really a thing. No one could stand them, while the peasantry and the aristocracy were at least on the same page. Probably just incorrect speculation on my part, but it made me smile.

Both the peasentry and nobility had a pretty hard, brutal understanding of thier role in the world; while the entire 'nobilise oblige' bullshit is in part just good PR, the life of nobility wasn't exactly sunshine and lollipops given the pressures most would suffer under. Whereas the peasentry would have a good grasp on just how tenuous life could be, and what risk were prevalent even in thier day to day life.

The middleclass, by comparison, requires a horde of artificial requirements to even exist; a mixture of city-focus combined with the need for hyper-specialized roles that were often small by comparison.

...shit, you may be on to something.

Trump is not guilty of the trumped up charges, but the issue of guilt is immaterial at this point. This is a question of whether the legal system can penetrate the protections of the office to destroy political rivals. If yes, we would officially be a banana republic. A prosecutor standing before a grand jury can find enough cause to charge every man, woman, and child in the United States.

It really nags me that none of the candidates were able to connect those dots publicly. It really is as simple as "can they destroy our guy?" Maybe they were worried about optics.

Trump is not guilty of the trumped up charges

Even if he were, I think people are starting to notice the following oddities:

The E. Jean Caroll Case

Its odd to claim that saying you didn't rape someone is defamation. Its odder still to award the plaintiff 100m dollars.

The Property Valuation Case

Its odd to for the state to claim that you committed fraud while the supposed victims allege no such thing. Its odder still to impose a judgment of half a billion when the obscure execute order that the case rested on called for administrative fines.

The Georgia RICO Case

Its odd to bring a RICO case on events that occurred only once (patterns of behavior being the basis of RICO statutes). Its odder still that your supposed role in all this was something the the WashintonPost retracted the story for.

The Hush Money Case

Its odd that the prosecution managed to turn misdemeanor book keeping crimes in 30 felonies. Its odder still that your the only guy on trial for paying a former mistress with your own damn money.

The Classified Documents Case

Its odd that the government always knew where the documents were the whole time and that the GSA shipped you the documents in question. Its odder still this is the first time the National Archives got law enforcement involved when they always have a fight with outgoing Presidents over document possession.

The Jan 6th Case

To be honest, I haven't even looked at this one. But its odd that neither Trump nor any of the peons crushed by the DoJ have been charged with insurrection, given that is what is alleged to have happened.

What irks me about Trump is that after all this, when he is President he won't do anything to scorch the earth from under these ratfucks.

Hope I'm wrong and he goes Jaws on all of them.

Yeah, it's a real mystery why he would be gaining support when his opponent is using lawfare in an attempt to avoid having to face him in an "honest" election. Our political views are a threat to democracy, while their threat to democracy is just their political views.

I hate the left with a fiery passon. I will crawl over broken glass just to get a chance to piss in their cheerios. Fuck them all.

Now I can't discount what was said in the first sentence I wasn't there and certainly can't validate or verify those incidents - but it could happen.

That one message says it over 5 times. Personally I'm quite prepared to believe she can't count past 5.

Not retards: midwits.

Their IQs are average or even above average, but their middle and upper-middle class prejudices, their desire to belong to managerial social circles, their desperation for approval from the elite, and the years of education indoctrination they've been through at the Approved Institutions; all of these collectively outweigh and undermine any capacity they may once have had for critical thought.

The midwits are the true believers. They think in terms of slogans and conclusions.

Smart enough to intuit networks, connections, and correlations - not smart enough for first principle thinking.

Thus they become the clergy class, otherwise know as the PMC.

It is better to be ruled over by robber barons than by omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep; his cupidity may at some point be satiated. But those who oppress us for our own good will oppress us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Because nobody cares. Outside the usual never Trumpers, late night hosts, and the mockingbird media no one cares he fucked a porn star. No one thinks he needed campaign money to pay her to shut up, if it even happened.

All of a sudden leftist are prudes when they've defended Bill Clinton diddling an intern for thirty years, but people should tsk tsk because a rich guy may have fucked a porn star?

I don't get how they ever thought it wouldn't help him?

Trump's fans have always operated under the assumption that he was unfairly persecuted by the powers that be; this trial confirms their belief.

Trump's haters already hate him and aren't going to hate him any more.

Everyone else doesn't care and the constant cries of "orange man bad" are getting so old that no one listens to them. There's a good chance that there will be votes for Trump just to milk those sweet liberal tears.

Kinda feels like he's being set up to win.

Its like they never heard of the concept of martyrdom.

You'd think for how much they hate Mel Gibson they'd have at least watched Braveheart and see how the "torture and brutalize the guy they all rally behind to break their spirits" works out for the elite and ruling class.

You'd also think after how bad Covid went they'd have realized that the response from a lot of people isn't "oh I'm wrong, the Authority said something was bad" but a resounding "well fuck the Authority is compromised too, fuck them."
