We're all witnesses to an attempted political murder
American Thinker ^ | 5 Sep, 2023 | Mark C. Ross

Posted on 09/05/2023 7:13:23 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Never before has the American people been subjected to the obnoxious spectacle of a former president being relentlessly pursued by craven partisans using government (read: taxpayer-funded) resources. One explanation involves Mr. Trump's unique ability to bring out the worst in his enemies. Actually, it may also be caused by a common character weakness among his opponents.

One would need an enormous score card to keep track of all the indictments and other litigations being heaped upon Mr. Trump. He has thus employed an army of attorneys in order to resist the onslaught. Being a billionaire has certainly come in handy for this effort — but a few billion dollars can go only so far. The stubborn continuation of his candidacy for re-election allows him to raise campaign contributions, some of which can be applied to his legal defense — because they are an appropriate campaign expense, much like media advertisements, mailers and travel. The prevailing countermeasure has been for the Deep State thugs to add Trump's lawyers to their target list.

Some historians have pointed out that presidents are often the opposite of their predecessor. Carter followed Nixon, Reagan followed Carter, and Trump followed Obama. And, speaking of Obama, his great strength is also Trump's particular weakness. Limbaugh used to say that Lois Lerner, Obama's IRS hatchet woman who stifled conservative non-profits, didn't need to be told what to do; she was hired because she already knew what she was supposed to do...thus eliminating many possibly embarrassing emails. Trump's entourage, however, was not sufficiently screened for loyalty. Hence, a conspicuous lack of control undermined his (first) administration.

Meanwhile, the Deep State has remained heavily populated with Obama's picks. Along with the "new" Democrat party, they are imbued with the tyrannical dogma that "the people" would be much better served...

First a soft coup attempt by Hillary and the deep state. Now massive election interference at taxpayer expense.

But the media will ensure it doesn’t look that way at all!

I fear for Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The wild-eyed far lefties are making some serious death threats these day. They’re acting like Hillary got her ass kicked a second time. The left wingnuts are even threatening to kill Barron and Melania Trump. This isn’t the UNITED States anymore. It’s the Third World Diverse Azzhole Tribal Septic Tank and Freeloader Refuge Camp/Asylum.

For all we know, obama 2008 was a coup spurred by a created financial collapse, and obama 2012 was also shaky, despite his opponent being one of the most despicable RINO nepo-babies

They still have the JFK files in the basement safe at the CIA. If they do anything to Trump, there will be a MAGA nazi, white supremacy, federal asset, doing the job. The onion to peel will be so big and conveniently dead ended, it will never get peeled to the core.

It is not a threat. They murder both of them given the opportunity. They will also murder people like us, but no one believes that.

We are all witnesses to repeated acts of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States by ChiComjoe and the Demonicrat kakistocracy.

The last 3 1/2 years proved how the democrat party has stabbed lady liberty.

Freeing the feral is what they do best.

Up to the election of 2020 they at least respected us. And that deterred them from acting. When we docilely accepted the Coup they lost respected for us. Concentrated on doing in Donald Trump. When they do Trump in, they will come after us. They are in no hurry to come after us because they know we have no fight in us and we no longer present a threat to them. Or we would have fought when they executed their Coup.

And that’s the real tragedy here. The Founders knew the importance of a free and independent watchdog press. That’s why free press protection was put in the very first amendment.

But as you noted, the press is now just a willing arm of the Democrats. Even Fox pulls its punches. It looks like we’re drifting into a stifling one-party state, something like Brezhnev’s USSR.

Tired of this lie. It is a marker for NeverTrump ideology.
Any one ignorant of the constraints on Trump's ability to hire the people he wanted (Mitch refused to bring to the floor any confirmations he didn't approve of, Trump was often given a list of acceptable candidates),
unsophisticated enough not to know that many Trump hires were purposely couched in appearing to be MAGA so they could undermine his administration,
and arrogant enough to think the rest of us are stupid enough to buy their gaslighting, is suspect. Despite the above Trump did make many excellent hire, and some that were effective in implementing his policies but were backbiters later as well as a few downright poor picks like Omarosa Manigault Newman.

James Clapper Interrogation Audio

I believe this is Clapper, but it might be a hoax. If it is him, this is the most information yet on the plan to destroy Trump and his presidency. Main actors: Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Rod Rosenstein, John Roberts. Clapper say what they did and how they did it. And they’re all still in business.

"We're all witnesses to an attempted political murder"

That is so blatantly obvious it's hardly worth talking about. The greater question is whether America will continue to sit on its fat fanny and do nothing once they've finally "neutralized" (in whatever form that takes) the existential threat Trump poses to Progressivism, or whether they are willing (and able) to go to whatever lengths are necessary to defeat the Banana Republicanists and restore the America republic as it was founded.

I for one think the frog is already boiled. Americans have announced loudly and clearly that they haven't spine enough to 'spit on their hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.'

And that's just the signal the Leftists were waiting for to implement the final stage of their plan.
