My view of Democrat political/moral corruption and its newsworthiness is summed up by this anecdote:
Ships have logs in which the Officer of the Deck records ship movements as well as unusual events. Once an entry is written, it cannot be erased or changed. On the ship in this story, the First Mate and the Captain did NOT get along, and the Captain made the FM’s life extremely unpleasant. This continued for awhile, and then the FM had an idea. During his next watch as OOD, he wrote this log entry: “The Captain was sober today.”
My assumption is that all political and legal activity by Democrats is corrupt. It’s only noteworthy to me when it’s not. The Democrats made the courtroom a political battlefield shortly after the 1970 Clean Air Act and have not relented for a moment. They are presumed to be malevolent scumbags until they individually prove the contrary.
I operate under the assumption that the media, lawyers, and everyone in the "Orange Man Bad" tribe are playing to an audience of people with Trump Derangement Syndrome. The Joe Scarborough's do not need to be convinced. It is the general public, low-information voters, they speak to. All their audience needs to hear is Trump is bad, his lawyers are dangerous, and every outcome short of a conviction is a crime against our democracy. The liberals that hate Trump eat it up and aren't following closely enough to know or care about laws or right and wrong. That's why the comments to Snell's tweet refer to him as "sir" and ask if the judge can be arrested. It is sick, but they only need the slightest provocation to go on another Orange Man Bad tirade.
I still read the headlines on Drudge Report daily, even though I can hardly stomach the content any longer. I want to know what the other side is up to. Today, a couple of headlines implied that Trump is just as senile as Biden. I'm sorry, but anyone speaking in good faith who has listened to both Trump and Biden can see that Trump is still as sharp as ever, while Biden thinks Mexico borders the Gaza Strip. I'm sure the new class of liberal Drudge Report readers also eat that up. "Yeah! The Orange Guy is just as senile as Biden!! Hur is a baddie for calling old Joe senile!"
The abuse and corruption of the legal system for partisan purposes is the most glaring example of America’s drift away from our Constitutional moorings. We are told that illegal immigrants have rights to enter our country that must be respected, even though they do not follow the laws. We watch as prosecutors refuse to prosecute illegal immigrants who commit crimes or turn them over to immigration authorities. We see rioters burn down cities and throw Molotov cocktails at the WH and frozen water bottles at police without being arrested. Yet, ordinary people, not paid activists, who were present on J6, are being harassed for being in proximity to a riot that appears to have been provoked for political purposes.
Yet, when it comes to Donald Trump, his supporters, and pro-life activists, peaceful, law-abiding citizens are treated like terrorists, threatened with long jail sentences and derided for their political activity.
In the case of Trump, the purpose of the indictments and civil charges is not to enforce the law or weigh his civil liability for a wrong, it is to find a pretext to drag him into court and take his money so he can’t continue his campaign.
For Trump, the attorney/client privilege doesn’t apply, according to a federal judge. In dealing with Trump, the government and prosecutors seem more interested in finding ways to allege obstruction of justice than in finding evidence of a real crime.
During the Mueller investigation, Trump turned over every document sought in the investigation, but the prosecutors suggested that he could have and really wanted to obstruct Justice. Compare to Hillary Clinton destroying evidence under subpoena or Biden’s ghostwriter attempting to delete classified information.
Does anyone really believe that E. Jean Carroll’s case should have been allowed to go to trial? If she had made the exact claims against anyone else, without any details or corroboration, about an event that allegedly happened 30 years earlier, it would have been dismissed. Yet, it was Trump who was barred from presenting evidence, not her. Somehow, a jury of MSNBC junkies found him liable and another jury found that Trump’s denial that something that clearly never happened had happened caused $83 million in damages.
While I agree the witnesses should be known in a trial, the fact is that there are some nut cases out there and social norms have deteriorated so much that releasing witness names in a controversial trial mean the witnesses have a real chance of being harassed or worse. I'm not sure what you do about it. For example, in the Derek Chauvin trial, how many jurors found Chauvin guilty because they were scared what would happen to them if they didn't?
I'm afraid there's no real cure or redemption for the reprobate leftist progressive's in our country, and around the world. Not that one wasn't available, they simply chose to reject it. And so, this will be the norm going forward. Of course, some, very few, who will see the light, may course correct, and join the light, most will remain in darkness.
I agree that some of these people on the left are stupid. But these actions by most of the un-stupid left are part of the typical socialist show trials that they, fascist and communist, have used for over a hundred years. The target has already been judged guilty, so it is then just weaving the "testimony" through known and unknown "witnesses" for the consumption of the masses. Remember Jack Ma? He was accused of the egregious transgression of "Disturbing Community Tranquility" by known and unknown Chinese communists and was summarily convicted. He was not executed and have his body parts harvested, as most political prisoners are in China, because of his high profile. President Trump, and almost all of his lawyers and many supporters, are being accused of various crimes and violations in systematic and curated manner, in front of party members in the judiciary and juries, and all will lose, unless the Supremes overrule them. In which case, the targets are damaged financially regardless. (See Mark Steyn's loss to Mann's suit for defamation, for example).
Chris, I’m glad that you are willing to wade through this partisan, completely un-American Commie mob propaganda sludge. I’m totally serious. I can’t read this stuff for more than about ten seconds before I feel a rash and a brain damage exposure seizure coming on. Maybe I need a MedAlert bracelet. “First Responders: Tanto starts to foam at the mouth and loses his sh*zzle when he sees oppressive dumbasses trying to damage honest, normal people and established American rule of law . Administer alcohol, AR-15s and red meat as needed to re-establish consciousness.”
Commies - learn to speak Canadian. You’re gonna love Moosejaw when OMB takes over in ‘25.
This is outrageous! Why are we allowed to know the names of the judge and special prosecutor, let alone the witnesses? Couldn't those poor servants of court be intimidated by MAGA people or even stumble inadvertently onto a radical website like this one, that could corrupt their morals and sensibilities? To preserve our system, all of these people, anyone involved in any way in the case, right down to the bailiffs, must be held in solitary confinement on a high-security military base during the entirety of trial, appearing only on Zoom and only while fully masked--for their own protection as well as preservation of justice!
Again, I don´t think there´s any real evil intent in all of this Chris Bray writes about. He dates back to a time when young people were expected to LEARN TO THINK. Nowadays they are horrified by thinking. Thinking is too painful.

What now? Decline, dystopia, probable collapse of civil society, and a terrible hangover.
Chris keep documenting this insanity. Nothing surprises me anymore. All I can do is pity these poor fools who believe the opposite of reality.
Outrageous! Transparency?
How dare you think we live in a free country!
You talk about "shared norms"....just wait until 30% of the public can't speak a lick of English.
That's what the INVASION is really about.
Language binds us more than anything.
Without a shared language, there are no shared ideas.
America above all else is an idea; It's our currency; our lifeblood.

None of this is justice.

It is called lawfare for a reason.
Danny Huckabee
It looks very much like a deranged ex-wife/craycray girlfriend stalking and harassing her former husband/boyfriend.
And the bunny in the pot is you, the normal americans.
Haters be hatin’ … thus the wokeness. THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE;
FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION.

I'm still trying to figure out how 25 people, whose names have not yet been revealed, are already "receiving threats online."
