Fareed Zakaria on CNN: “I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump.”

Trump was stupid. He should have prosecuted Hillary (unauthorized possession of classified documents on her computer), Strzok and Page (using the Government--FBI--to influence an election, and insurrection), Clapper (perjury, lying under oath to Congress, Comey (unauthorized leaks to the MSM). When campaigning in 2016, Trump hinted at 'locking her up". After the election, when that was chanted at rallies, he would say, "No, she has been through enough". The bottom line is this,,,, he was MUCH, MUCH too nice.

American men typically think about ancient Rome several times a day, but apparently, Democrats do not. They ignore history, probably because it consists largely of the doings and transpirings of dead white males, but they should not. Rome’s decline from greatness from its mythical founding by Romulus in 753 BC – I don’t do “BCE” – to its final death rattle in 476 AD, when a kraut warlord named Odoacer deposed the last Roman emperor Romulus Augustulus, is not a precise template for the USA’s arc of history, but if you are wise enough to listen you will hear echoes...

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for decent people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with a bunch of communists, liars and assholes, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation from these bastards.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Democrats are liars and tyrants, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with...

This goes against the Jury AND the US Supreme Court as well as the Fourth Circuit Appeals Court, not to mention that those who died don't receive a commutation of their sentences of death,...
