Donald Trump Indicted by Manhattan Grand Jury
The story is here.
There is an old saying which goes something like this: Be careful what you wish for; you just might get it.
I have made my opinion clear when this was just a potential indictment. Now that the loons have made the leap the best I can do is quote one of their oiliest, sleaziest “leaders”, Schumer, and observe that they just may reap more whirlwind than they could ever imagine.
Elon Musk said this would assure a Trump Presidency II. I’m inclined to believe that may well be the case.
This is an abject disgrace.

Of course they will comply.

Nonsense, Dobbs was the biggest conservative win of my lifetime!
Trump is the victim of an obvious political witch hunt. Still doesn’t make me want to vote for him. I guess to the minds of many being a victim is now an asset. Part of the reason I consider myself a conservative (some may disagree) is I really hate the victimology mindset. It seems that mindset has swept the conservative movement since Trump came into our lives politically. It’s human nature to want feel like you have been wronged, I guess.
Trump getting rolled up doesn’t make him a more attractive candidate. It makes the government suppressing us all the more worth defeating.
F me? No F YOU, leviathan!
If it doesn’t make him a more attractive candidate, why is everybody saying this guarantees him the Republican nomination?
And that the Dims give a crap what happens to Biden once they’re done with him.
We shall see. I thought that.
The indictment of Trump is a mutually beneficial 100% political abuse of the judicial process.
Trump benefits with a huge boost to his popularity with (R) voters who are royally pissed off at the injustice ….. and the (D) …..
I still believe the (D)/DeepState behind the curtain want Trump to win the (R) Presidential nomination because after 6 years of relentless propaganda carpet bombing the (D)/DeepState grand poobah’s are convinced the Trump brand is too degraded to win a general election.
Unfortunately, I fear the (D)/DeepState evil geniuses are correct.
If Trump is the (R) nominee I will vote for Trump with bells on, knowing we are probably going to get 4 more years of this bizarro world woke Leftist lunacy ….. I pray I’m wrong.
Using this action as a way of trying to ensure a Trump nomination is like using a nuke to take out a tree stump.
Are the D’s that dumb that they don’t actually think through the implications of what they’re doing?
I think this indictment is just the beginning for Trump. This is a legal tactic to draw more accusers out of the woodwork. People will make stuff up to get in on the case somehow.
This is an attempt to destroy him completely, in every way.
This is how lawyers spend a couple of years tainting juries and gathering circumstantial “evidence.”
This is truly a time for prayers. Trump is up against a lot.
They know it will never come back to bite them
In Trump’s case, he has been wronged. This will not stand with me. My vote is now predetermined.
The way to stop it is to re-elect him and turn him loose.
Please make the print smaller. My 1000x magnifier makes this too big to read.
No Flicker, they are Jewish. Adding cheese makes it even worse!
Like in 2016 when the media and Democrats were all in for Trump in the primary because he’d be easier to beat? You’re right, I had forgotten all about Hillary’s presidency.
The indictment is sealed and, supposedly won’t be unsealed until Trump is arraigned. It seems that Trump and his lawyers must have seen it, otherwise, why would he go to New York to turn himself over to their police?
Yeah, that whole indictment and prosecution of Trump in 2016 really went nowhere. I had forgotten all about that. And, man that whole turning of the CIA and FBI against W really was not an issue either. I should have remembered that.
You are not now, nor have you ever been, worth taking seriously.
I suspect the Dims just didn’t have their cheating machine turned up enough because they didn’t think they needed to for Hillary. But when it was time for Biden to “win,” they put the pedal to the metal and maybe hit the nitrous too. Although they could be waiting on the nitrous until ’24.
Good grief Bryan. You’re being ridiculous. You said nothing ever backfired on Democrats. I pointed out that something did in 2016. I’m sorry I’m not going to play into your despair and BS.
It’s a BS charge by a hack DA. But this is not the end of the republic.
OK. You be that way. Nothing to worry about.
Worst halftime pep-talk ever!
You can add me to the pessimistic side of the ledger.
The Democrats have never lost by taking the low road.
On the occasions they do lose, it is in spite of, not because of, the taken low road.
It is possible that the Democrats could win in the sense that Trump doesn’t win the GOP presidential nomination, in part because of these fake charges leveled against him.
But in another sense, if Ron DeSantis wins the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, then the presidential contest will be a 46 year old Ron DeSantis against an 81 year old Joe Biden, instead of a 78 year old Donald Trump and an 81 year old Joe Biden.
It’s possible that this George Soros aligned DA has helped the Republicans win back the White House in 2024. Without this assistance, the Republican primary voters might have nominated Trump for yet another losing contest against Biden.
Politics is like football. When the ball bounces, it’s hard to know in whose hands it will end up.
DeSantis isn’t running for President. Your princess is in another castle.
It sure seems like DeSantis is running for president, even if he hasn’t announced yet.
But the fact is, he’s not. And pinning all your hopes on DeSantis possibly entering the race and then possibly winning the race two years from now shows a lack of seriousness about addressing our problems TODAY. It’s a distraction. “Just wait until 2024!” As if the country can wait that long. And I’ve heard it all before anyway. Just wait until we control the Senate! Just wait until we control the White House! Just wait . . . just wait . . . just wait . . . we’ll get ’em next time! It’s a sad cope that doesn’t recognize the danger we’re in.
(And of course, the Democrats’ fraud organization won’t allow DeSantis to win even if he does run.)
Go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had.
I don’t understand what course of action you are suggesting.
Are you saying that we should all write letters to the DA and tell him to drop the charges while at the same time we shouldn’t even bother participating in the 2024 election because the Democrats have rigged all elections from now until forever?
What do you mean? Trump wouldn’t be elected until 2024 either. DeSantis is acting like a guy who is running for President and will likely announce soon. I don’t understand what you mean about the army we have. Only 3 candidates have announced.
