For the first time in our country’s history a former president, who is running for reelection, was just convicted of a crime in what prosecutor Alvin Bragg’s hometown newspaper admitted is a “novel and untested” application of an obscure state law. The operation, like the other criminal charges, was orchestrated by Democrats and the news media, none of whom have been shy about their intentions. They invented crimes. They raided his home. They placed him under arrest. They booked him for a mugshot. Finally, they found the judges and jurors who were certain to deliver the predetermined outcomes.
It’s happening against the most surreal backdrop. While President Biden and his party have devoted every waking hour to calling Trump a “threat to democracy,” they’ve attempted to remove his name from the ballot, censored public information, and shoveled billions of taxpayer dollars into a corrupt Eastern European country that has canceled its elections.
They’ve taken us this far. What won’t they do? What can’t they justify? All signs point to nothing. Their capacity to escalate political tensions is literally boundless.
