When the Biden-Harris regime’s Justice Department and likeminded state allies targeted (then-former and future) President Donald Trump for four distinct politicized prosecutions, the mood among Democrats and their media mouthpieces was blitheness bordering on glee.
The Stormy Daniels case was perhaps the most blatantly bogus of them all—one giant exercise in trampling over relevant statutes of limitations and shoehorning of a corporate bookkeeping fraud state law to fit the non-crime of alleged “hush money” payments. Soros-funded Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who brought the case, embodied the old Stalin-esque mantra, usually attributed to former Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
But Democrats were positively enamored. Christmas had come early!
“Grand Jury votes to indict Trump!” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted once the first Rubicon had been crossed. “No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) added, continuing the distortion of Western civilization’s defining “innocent until proven guilty” justice ethos that Democrats had begun a few years prior during the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Brett Kavanaugh.
But there was more—much more.
An absurd racketeering case from a corrupt district attorney in Atlanta. The use of the dubious World War I-era Espionage Act to prosecute classified docs at Mar-a-Lago, following an unprecedented FBI raid. There was the Merrick Garland Justice Department’s prosecution of pro-life grannies peacefully praying outside abortion clinics. There was the incarceration of Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. One could even go back to last decade’s Russiagate hoax itself—an extraordinary bastardization of the federal government’s intelligence apparatus to spy on then-presidential candidate Trump.
None of the Biden-era Democrat-Lawfare Complex’s four anti-Trump prosecutions went anywhere. (The Bragg case did yield a guilty verdict, but the case was effectively dropped after Trump won the 2024 election.) Nor, for that matter, did New York Attorney General Letitia James’ contemporaneous fraud “civil” probe into The Trump Organization go anywhere either. And while we’re on the topic of Lavrentiy Beria, who can forget James’ infamous vow, while on the New York State campaign trail in 2018, to get Trump by any means necessary?
The Democrat-Lawfare Complex’s anti-American legal jihad backfired politically. Along with the besieged U.S.-Mexico border, the Biden-era perversion of America’s justice system was a leading reason voters swept Trump back into office over cackling Kamala.
Now, it appears that Democrats’ stunts have backfired in other ways. At the height of the Biden-era lawfare, Republicans warned Democrats that they would regret weaponizing the justice system against their political opponents.
It appears that day has now come.
Last year, the Trump administration indicted James on charges of bank fraud and making false statements. Former FBI Director James Comey, a central player in the Russiagate saga, was first indicted last year on perjury grounds. Just this past week, he was indicted again—this time over an Instagram post featuring an “86-47” seashell constellation on a North Carolina beach that looks an awful lot like a threat to the president.
The Trump DOJ also sought indictments for six Democratic lawmakers—Sens. Mark Kelly (Ariz.) and Elissa Slotkin (Mich.), along with Reps. Jason Crow (Colo.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), and Chris Deluzio (Pa.)—over a video urging the defiance of military chain-of-command orders. That last indictment was rejected by a grand jury.
To be sure, not all of these cases are the same.
The six lawmakers, for instance, were very wrong to produce the subversive video they did—but “sedition” it was not. On the other hand, the DOJ is on stronger ground with its new Comey indictment. It’s difficult to imagine this indictment will actually go anywhere, but it’s also nearly impossible to interpret a message of “86-47” in any other way than how the Trump Justice Department argues it should be interpreted. And especially after yet another attempt on Trump’s life during the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it would be reckless for the DOJ not to treat such an episode with the utmost earnestness.
But zooming out, it’s not hard to see what’s going on here. Indeed, the recent indictment of former Anthony Fauci adviser David Morens only further clarifies it.
Instead of crying foul at the Trump administration, as so many in the elected class and commentariat seem quick to do, perhaps it would be better to ask: What did leftists think was going to happen?
That question answers itself. Basic game theory analysis suggests that a subjugated party—in this case, the broader Right—must punch back in order to reestablish order over the subjugator. It’s also just old-school playground logic: Sometimes a bully must be punched in the face. Only then will he stop being a bully. Short-term escalation is often necessary in order to secure a mid- to long-term equilibrium.
Maybe that sounds harsh. Maybe it even sounds immoral to some. But it’s the hard reality. And if Democrats don’t like that reality, then they shouldn’t have gotten us to this point in the first place.
Nor is this the first time Democrats commenced such a “mutually assured destruction”-style iterative paradigm in American public life. Recall that it was in 1987, only one year after Antonin Scalia was confirmed to the Supreme Court with 98 votes, that former Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Joe Biden (D-Del.) directly ushered in the modern era of nuclear-level judicial nominations chaos by “borking” the eponymous Bob Bork and preventing the highly qualified jurist’s ascension to the high court. Fast-forward nearly four decades, and our Supreme Court showdowns are still an awful mess.
You’d think Democrats would have learned their lesson by now. But they haven’t. Some bullies, it seems, need to be punched harder than others.
Republicans are cowards. Worthless Pam Bondi wasted a year and a half doing nothing.
I have some liberal very educated acquaintance’s that are staunch democrats and have completely accepted the relentless MSM propaganda and despise Donald Trump. If I gave them this article to read they would dismiss it as all lies. This is where we are as nation is today today and it is quite concerning.
Deception is powerful and intense for some people; they can’t fight it – same with the people who insist their eyes ace lying to them, and insist the Earth is Flat! They will not be told otherwise.
Exactly. Yesterday in the comments section of People Magazine’s article about Rudi Gulliani recovering from his car accident (after he stopped to assist a domestic violence victim) the most vile comments about him appeared. All because he had the temerity to question the results of the 2020 election. And because of his being a Trump supporter. I was disgusted.
Oh yes, you are correct about those who despise Donald Trump no matter what. Here in Canada it is the same. The TDS is alive and well so much so that the deranged ones voted for the Prize Puppet of the City of London Elites, to the nation’s detriment. The will try to use Canada as a stepping stone to China. It’s the Globalists against the USA and I am pulling for the USA!
The BIG difference in the arenas of prosecution is there were ACTUAL CRIMES committed by the left that are being prosecuted!
“ACTUAL CRIMES committed by the left that are being prosecuted!” Yeah, I get that they actually committed crimes vs innocents on our side but as far as Trump allowing or competently prosecuting these people he is zero for thousands that they should have gone after from the start.
Trump has been a complete incompetent in this area. Completely toothless, just like his first time. There is no defense for his failure.
The Dems forgot one of the basic rules in politics. That is what comes goes around.
It’s no accident that the leftist began the infiltration of our public schools with one of their fundamental mantras, “use your words” for children. Unfortunately, their disallowance of confronting bullies is but a part of the educated passivity that has allowed them to aggregate controls over kids being bullied to becoming the party that represents bullying as a means to their ends.
Previously, kids were taught not to start fights but that they had the right to defend themselves and others from bullies willing to become aggressive and potentially hurt them. Kids readily understand the difference, contrary to the leftist propaganda enforced making self-defense an act of aggression.
Now, our culture is flooded with violent, unchecked aggression that has made defending oneself implicitly illegal or, at the very least financially costly if captured in the leftist crosshairs. Accused criminals are repeatedly loosed by judicial authorities without bail or sentenced for heinous crimes without appropriate sentences providing for both the general security of society as well as justice for their victims and victim’s families.
Instead, we have culturally amassed many who have no sense of their right to personal boundaries or their right to defend against such aggressive-to-violent encroachments.
The smack down has been too long in coming but it is a necessary
course correction in order to uphold our individual freedoms, especially those of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
When perpetrators of lawlessness are then created as victims it sanctions unjustified aggression as seen against police, border patrol agents, ICE and those investigating the plethora of fraud illegally stealing taxpayer money.
We’ve finally started, but leftist judges engaging in actions in defiance of our federal and state laws should be immediately impeached and removed from the bench; they are acting as de facto legislators of the law for which they have no authority to do so.
For Trump, at the very least, he could fight these in court having the necessary finances available to do so. For far too many Americans, defending against this bullying is something they simply cannot afford and leftists knowingly use this as a silent intimidation to obtain individual acquiescence from defending against them, further allowing the continuation of these criminal actions.

The Rolling Stones 1983 album UNDERCOVER has the song titled “Pretty Beat Up” with the lyrics, “Since you 86-ed me,/Never restitched me.”
The problem with these charges against the democrats, their crimes were done in Washington DC while in office, so the trials end up with all democrat juries, judges and prosecutors and worse democrat defenders. The trial where Trump was accused of rape in a dressing room had no millionaires or billionaires equal to him, only one lawyer, democrat, on the jury. Not one jury member was equal to him. The rape was allowed illegally to go past the time of accusable and still landed in court. Another thing, any woman who shops in those high-class stores have girls standing at the dressing rooms to go and get another size or another outfit for the customer in the dressing room. They also have dressing rooms on top of the counters so if you shop in these stores you know how hard it would be for a rape not making Noice going on in their dressing rooms. And, Trump did not do his own shopping he had personal secretaries and his daughter doing family gift shopping. Unfortunately, his lawyer never brought any of this up. Wouldn’t have mattered anywhere in these democrat areas.
What did they think would happen?
They thought the candy ass Repukes would adopt the church lady morality of “two wrongs don’t make a right” and “be the adult in the room and not hit back.”
Fuck them, and any Repuke who wants to treat them with kid gloves.
No one can trust you Josh Hammer…
You actually believe the FBI narrative lies with Tyler Robinson killing Charlie Kirk… and support Erika Kirk…

So scumsrent has a stiffy for josh hammer apparently. Successful people are a real problem for you, always clacking away on your Atari computer.
So tell us scummy. In your paranoid world who killed Kirk. Must have been the Romulans
What did leftists think was going to happen? They never expected to lose again or anytime soon
