In response to a Democrat prosecutor, a Democrat activist and a Democrat jury finding former President Trump guilty of a crime that doesn’t exist based on crimes that they couldn’t define (even right down to the jury finding), Joe Biden and the rest of the party has offered up two meaningless mantras.
“No one is above the law”
and
“We must respect the verdict.”
I already addressed the first mantra. No one is above the law except Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Eric Holder, Hunter Biden, Barney Frank, Al Gore, and every 2020 BLM rioter. Not to mention every 2023-2024 Hamas rioter and the 2017 inauguration Democrat rioters.
Let’s talk about “respect mah verdict”.
In a free country verdicts don’t have to be “respected”. They can be appealed, challenged or just denounced as wrong. Only in totalitarian countries do you have to “respect” verdicts or else.
Americans have a proud tradition of not respecting verdicts. Sometimes verdicts are right and sometimes they’re wrong. Declaring that a verdict is wrong is not the same thing as assaulting a courthouse (the way BLMers did for months in Portland) or barring immigration authorities from functioning.
Democrats and lefties reacted to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict by rejecting it. When the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, they reacted with violent attacks on pro-life centers, protests targeting Supreme Court justices at their homes and proposals (still ongoing) to pack the Supreme Court.
It’s fine to hate a court’s verdict. The corrosive hypocrisy comes when you play “Respect mah authority” when your side wins and “Rise up!” when you lose.
And that corrosive hypocrisy pervades the way the Left relates to power. When power is held by someone else, it’s inherently illegitimate and must be overthrown. And when it holds power, then it’s a sacred trust that must be protected in order to save democracy.
There’s nothing American, democratic or patriotic about this corrupt double standard. It’s the worldview of a radical revolutionary movement that literally rejects the idea that it can ever lose or be out of power because its metric is not ‘systemic’, but ‘ideological’. It doesn’t care about democracy, the constitution or the rule of law.
And that would be fine if it had the common decency to admit that. But it plays the dishonest game of asserting the sacred supremacy of the systems and laws it rejects when it’s in power while plotting to destroy them the rest of the time.
The authoritarian/revolutionary bait and switch is endemic to leftist systems and is a sickening display.
The Left doesn’t respect verdicts except when it issues them.
A consistent approach is that verdicts don’t have to be respected in a free country. The Left doesn’t want a free country. It’s an authoritarian movement that pretends to be liberationist until the moment it seizes power.
Neither it nor its pretensions nor its authority deserve any respect.

This is the same thing the Philadelphia Dems did to Bill Cosby during the MeToo hysteria in 2019 when he spoke out against the Democrats.
In the original trial that ended in a hung jury, the original DA of the case (a Democrat) investigated the accuser’s claims outright…and thoroughly! And found them without merit, and refused to prosecute him. However, Cosby was required to record a deposition in which he admitted to handing party drugs to women. In the “re-trial”, that deposition was unsealed and entered into evidence ILLEGALLY in direct violation of Cosby’s 5th Amendment rights, and used as the primary evidence in the new trial.
The new judge and DA in the trial guaranteed Cosby wouldn’t get a fair trial, and they increased the number of witnesses illegally for the prosecution, even though the statute of limitations had long since passed for these accusations.
Cosby was convicted. But it was overturned on appeal.
Also, the Cosby case was actually ILLEGAL to begin with! Not necessarily because of breaking the previous DA’s order to not prosecute, but because the case wasn’t even filed in time.
The Cosby case was a dress rehearsal for what the Dems are doing to Trump.
Steven Kardas says
Excellent obervati9ns about Mr. Crosby’s dilemma. I may add that he is a very successful intelligent black man and a vocal Black Scold. His public criticism’s of African American’ behavior is spot on and accurate. This will absolutely will not be tolerated by the leftist.. Thus they moved to shut him up. History has shown to what extent leftist will go to shut people up and it ain’t pretty. He got off easy.
DetroitOtaku says
Here’s a fact you’re not going to hear in the media:
Cosby was so committed to proving his own innocence, that he REJECTED a plea deal to a lesser misdemeanor charge without jail time or having to register as a sex offender, and it would have effectively swept the entire sad episode under the rug entirely.
He turned that down just to maintain his innocence. That ALONE told me Cosby was railroaded.
Greg says
“The Cosby case was a dress rehearsal for what the Dems are doing to Trump.” Yes, and the jailhouse hanging (suicide my foot) of Jefferey Epstein is the fate that Democ-rats are plotting for President Trump, complete with theatrical mourning from Republic-rats like Ron DeSantis.

You should find a better example of a compromised celebrity guilty of spiking drinks with date rape drugs and raping the semi-unconscious women. HellyWeird is has compromised people in it just as CONgrASS and the DOJ and the majority of elected or installed by stolen election humans that dance with the devil in the pale moon light and are shocked when they are outed because they did not do the will of their master(s),
Everything against President Trump since the Hellary Klingon Russia hoaxes, sham impeachments, with hunt lying trails is not outing a compromised man, it’s perjury and miscarriage of justice to say the least against a political opponent they fear will give us back our independence, security, roaring economy and peace and security will reign in the free world! This shows us where we are at and the pLandemic to the rigging and theft of the 2020 and 2022 elections and the controls they were able to get away with along with the engineered shortages and manufactured inflation as well as open borders is to destroy USA. As USA goes so goes the world! We are in a demonic coup d’etat by the oligarchs of the deep state. When we admit this to ourself each other and journalists like Mr. Greenfield started writing this, will we see our situation and the enemy at the gate and within. Bible prophesy is revealed in this era we are at. We just have to see how these prophesies are unfolding like a child’s pop-up book!
DetroitOtaku says
You really shouldn’t comment on things that you don’t understand.
Cosby never admitted spiked drinks with drugs, he admitted to handing women drugs. In the 70s. When Spanish Fly was a voluntary party drug.
Also, you should look into who started the dogpile of accusations against Cosby – Ex-model Janice Dickinson, who admitted to fabricating her story to shill a book. Also, the original DA investigated the first two accusers claims and found they were not credible.
And these accusations weren’t properly investigated and were past the statute of limitations. But hey, in Democratic run cities, everyone knows the statute of limitations is….really more of a suggestion.
And you also ignored that Cosby’s deposition was entered into evidence illegally – a violation of his constitutional right to a fair trial.
And that the case was illegal too – it wasn’t filed in time.
Cosby did not get a fair trial.
Jeff Bargholz says
I wonder if Cosby rubbed Jell-o pudding on those chicks while they were passed out from roofies? “Hey, hey hey!””
I have a chick who likes Nutello on my unit.
DetroitOtaku says
That’s if you believe the accusers, who the original DA in the case said were not credible.
As well as Janice Dickinson, who admitted to LYING on the witness stand.
Also, Cosby was so committed to proving his innocence that he rejected a plea deal to a lesser misdemeanor charge where he wouldn’t serve jail time or be registered as a sex offender, and it would have swept the entire sad episode under the rug entirely.
I recommend you watch Razorfist’s “Cosby Rebuttal”.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, I don’t know. People get accused of a lot of things they didn’t actually do. I used to be married, so I know.
I admit I watched the “Fat Albert” show on Saturday mornings when I was a kid and I used to live with a psycho Thai chick and we watched “The Cosby Show” and liked it. I was surprised she liked anything except beer, fish sauce and dick.
DetroitOtaku says
I can’t say for certain whether Cosby did commit some form of sexual misconduct.
But I do know everyone deserves a fair trial. Cosby didn’t get one.
He was railroaded. I wouldn’t trust Pennsylvania’s corrupt court system to arbitrate a boxing match.
If Bill Cosby – a guy who is one of the wealthiest in the world, and a fixture of American Television for decades, and who almost bought NBC with pocket change – stood no chance, God forbid anyone else should find themselves at the mercy of Pennsylvania’s corrupt juvy show.

“People get accused of a lot of things they didn’t actually do.”
That’s for sure. Always have to watch out for that.
Drama Queens are especially good at fooling people into falling for their lies.

3 observations
1)Some animals are more equal than others. So friends get favors and enemies get the law. This is well known and in evidence on a daily basis.
2)”We must respect the verdict” the “we” in this sentence is the Royal We. They don’t much care peons/prols respect the verdict. The Inner Party shall respect the verdict.
3)At what point does a state become a Totalitarian state? If we are not there now, then what other check boxes are missing?

Here is a hypothetical for you:
You are an employee of a firm in Manhattan and somebody tells the boss that you were seen in a MAGA hat.
You get fired for it.
To whom do you take the case?
Is this a totalitarian state yet?

Though to be fair, I don’t think ideology is a protected class like skin color or religion.

“We must respect the verdict.”
Good insights Daniel! That struck me as being similar to “proof by authority”.
Jeff Bargholz says
I liked the “South Park” references.
I never really liked that cartoon but there were some funny episodes.

“Settled Science”

Another thing. Being on the “right side of history” means to the left that they deserve to hold power in perpetuity.

What was that verdict on student loan forgiveness again?
Steven Kardas says
The powerful apply or ignore laws solely for their benefit and the rest of us are just the little people. What is most worrisome now is that the powerful could careless how they appear and have become bold and brazen knowing full well they are not accountable for anything they do. Who is going to make them accountable at this point ?
Frank Wilson says
The Judgment Throne of the Living God, Creator, The Lord Jesus Christ, and then the Lake of Fire for time without end! I wonder while their sins are being exposed can they even remember what they gained on earth?
Greg says
Either respect the verdict of Democ-rats, they say, or face a F.I.S.A. warrant for spreading Russian disinformation and doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin. There’s plenty of room for additional names on the docket of Manhattan’s court of inquisition. Trump first, you next.
Çâşëğ says
There is no such thing, manmade just law. The only just law is the law of the divine. Where people are accountable for their action before God. Meaning one must have conscience of what’s right and wrong. Evil left has no conscience. For it the pursue or hold power overwrites all divine laws of human decency and fairness. And it is proving it every time it holds power.
Chris Shugart says
So sez the bible. It’s only fact if you believe that it’s so. I’m OK with that. But scripture remains a belief system, not a factual thesis.
Andy says
Someone should do man-on-the-street interviews on a New York City sidewalk and simply ask people: “Exactly what was Trump found guilty of?”
MuggsSpongedice says
I have seen and heard man-on-da-street interviews and people, USA citizens, from all sectors and walks of life are supporting President Trump stronger than ever and know this is a s-show from himself and satan’s followers. So was the pLandemic to the rigging and theft of the 2020 and 2022 elections, The absurd senseless controls of the pLandemic, targeting the non-big financial donors, the manufactured shortages, the engineered inflation, the open borders, October 7, 2023, the non-stop witch hunts against President Trump who is assuring the USA citizens freedoms and opportunities, and global safety based on strenght and resolve, and on and on the non-stop chain of events since the assaults on President Trump, the pLandmics, 10-7-2023 are all part of the same demonic acts of the oligarch globalists swamp and those who dance to their desires and carry out their bidding as stooge puppet whores.

This is the way dictatorships run their justice system, those at the top control everything. New York appears to have taken on the image of Babylon.

can you say we are in a demonic coup d’etat?
Jan VI says
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12
Larry Miller says
It’s amazing – well that’s the wrong word. It’s not surprising to me that the Leftanista Democrats and their zombie allies keep spouting the same catch phrases. “Not above the law.” “Respect the verdict.” This sham of a trial was politically motivated. Motivated by their hatred and fear of Donald Trump. They speak about threats to Democracy, but their hypocrisy won’t let them see the hypocrisy of district attorneys who release violent criminals back onto the streets to prey on innocent people. What would NYC be like if Alvin “the puppet” Bragg aggressively prosecuted violent criminals the same way his office went after Trump?
MuggsSpongedice says
Robert DeNutzo shows once again that HellyWeird is has compromised people in it just as CONgrASS and the DOJ and the majority of elected or installed by stolen election humans that dance with the devil in the pale moon light and are shocked when they are outed because they did not do the will of their master(s),

This applies particularly well to the woke leftist depraved berserk corrupt democrat party.

There has yet to be found a limit to the verdicts that Democrats have already not respected. Sacco and Vanzetti, Alger Hiss, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Joanne Chesimard, and many others.
