A RUBICON IS CROSSED
Power Line ^ | 30 Mar 2023 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 03/31/2023 5:19:36 PM PDT by Rummyfan

So the Democrats decided to indict Donald Trump after all. (I assume that Alvin Bragg would not have proceeded without a green light from higher-ups in the party.) Here, as in so many other areas, we are in uncharted waters. The Democrats have launched a sort of blitzkrieg against our traditions, our Constitution, our culture (at least, our culture as it was), and every form of restraint that makes civil society possible. They have unleashed a wind, and seem serenely confident that they will never face a whirlwind. I don’t know, maybe they are right. I do know that after today, our country will never be the same again.

In the short term, the indictment will help Donald Trump politically. Perhaps that was the Democrats’ intention. But I don’t think any of us can foresee how it will play out. Legally speaking, the indictment is a joke. No doubt Trump will try to have it dismissed, but I don’t know enough about criminal procedure in New York to have any idea how long that will take, or what his prospects of success are. Bear in mind that any motion to dismiss will most likely be heard by a Trump-hating Democratic judge. If the case makes it to trial, it will go before a New York jury that probably will consist entirely of Democrats and–once again–Trump haters. There is no way a conviction can be ruled out. Appeals would follow, likely taking a year or more.

...

But I do know that today is an evil day in America’s history. The Democrats are behaving like a party from a pre-Enlightenment, pre-constitutional era. Seeing themselves in the driver’s seat, they are making a naked grab for totalitarian power across a broad range of issues and institutions....

A dangerous totalitarian stood before us just over three years ago and told us to restrict our travel, unless you’re his unvetted Syrians, no gatherings of 10 or more, unless you’re burning cities, stay home because you’re non essential while giving big pharma billions. I watched people die alone in hospitals n homes without the humanity of a funeral.
And the vax… o my. A leader would stand up, admit wrongdoing nc and correct course… the totalitarian continues to voice the narrative.

Agree that they are not only dangerous totalitarians but they have an almost monopoly on the levers of power - the “press”, the Judiciary, the legal profession, many in professional sports, the hollowed-out military, Big Business, the trash in what’s left of Hollywood, the Democratic Senate and 80 percent of the so-called Rs in the Senate. What do we have?? Smarts, ingenuity, numbers, the rising Red States, and the House of Representatives.

"A RUBICON IS CROSSED"

In addition to their continuing effort to sabotage President Trump's political objectives and endeavors, I also wonder if the indictment is major smokescreen demRATs are using to distract the citizenry from a new instance of enslaving the American people.

This is a Democrat problem but it’s also a Republican one because the Republicans WILL NOT FIGHT back and, in fact, just let the DNC continue this destruction of our country.

Hillary was supposed to be in jail. Failure to even attempt that was a grave error.

They’re definitely distracting from a “TRANS-SEXUAL” murderess in Tennessee.
