In perhaps the least surprising twist of the past seven years, they finally got him: Former President Donald Trump was formally arraigned Tuesday while hundreds of Resistance members camped gleefully outside with their cameras and press passes.
We knew they’d eventually get this day, and he knew they would too; it’s one of the many reasons he moved his operation from hostile New York City to friendly Florida in 2019. Some version of this was always going to happen.
Trump left office four years after now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened that American intelligence agencies would get “back” at him. During those four years, he’d suffered through Russiagate, Mueller-obstructiongate, Ukrainegate, and Post Officegate, with a sprinkling of kids-in-cagesgate. Having flown back to Palm Beach, he was greeted by take-home-docugate and the reanimated corpse of Stormygate.
There was no way they weren’t going to find some way to get Trump, but by this point what ought to be a shocking statement — that some institution of law enforcement would eventually find a pretext to prosecute a political enemy — to most Americans is simply understood reality. More than three-quarters of us think his arrest is politically motivated, according to a CNN poll conducted at the end of last week, and 60 percent of us think it’s fine anyway.

Good post. The Right uses politics to enforce norms based on legal tradition, common sense, Judeo-Christianity and the Constitution. The Left won’t be satisfied until President Trump is raped nightly on YouTube live from Rikers Island.
We need to start using their rules.
The Left has an agenda. They suffer zero consequences as they attempt to implement that agenda. The movement continues, unabated. Why wouldn’t it?
