The DOJ and the FEC passed on this case years ago. We live in a Banana Republic now. The press is in the business of stifling the opposition. I can feel your anger and I share it. It’s a dark day for democracy.

They didn't "allow" it; they DEMANDED it after Trump won in 2016.

And it will continue.

Trump will go to jail in July, unable to campaign.

Biden will be reelected with a comfortable electoral margin.

After the appeals free him after the election, the GOP will have to be re-manufactured from its current personality cult, dropping Trump like a hot rock. But they will be toothless and powerless for at least another decade.

And Kamala will sail to victory in 2028.

It is all preordained by Trump's success in 2016.

Our republic has ended...UNLESS there is a real boomerang effect to this "conviction" and Trump can wrangle over 55% of the popular AND the Democrats, gloating over their apparent "win," get their tickets punched in Congress. But the chances of that are, frankly, slim. The imagery of a former president in an orange jumpsuit will be just too compelling for the "independents" who everyone needs.

I want to believe you are dead wrong. But I'm a realist, not an idealist.

Even assuming Trump wins in November, will the democrat machine just quit and go home? Of course not. We are in for tough times, regardless.

If Trump is elected in November, he'll face impeachment every quarter.

That depends on who is running Congress. Yes, it's only my imagination, but if people put Trump over the top, will they not also give him a Congress he can work with?

Not really. Some congresspersons have sinecures they cannot be voted out of. They will scream and wail until they get their way and the MSM machine will lap it up.

Call me the optimist, but the MSM don't have a fraction of the influence that they once had.

Yet, they fill the airwaves and social media with their "un-influential" babblings...

Mostly agree, except that it's not preordained. It was planned, but not preordained.

Well stated and direct... Biden's earlier remarks regarding the outcome proves what we know to be true. They are using this solely for political purposes; has nothing to do with the law.
