This Has Never Been About Justice

This Stormy Daniels dog-and-pony trial show in New York City, this circus clown exhibition of buffoonery, this utter sewage display, and total mockery of jurisprudence...folks, I hope we realize that this whole episode has never been about justice.  Justice doesn’t act like this and has absolutely nothing to do with it.  Alvin Bragg, an attorney general who is probably less qualified than I am, the obviously Democratic Party sycophant of a judge, Juan Merchan, the prosecutor who was a Democratic Party mogul...justice?  That word isn’t the first one that should come to anybody’s mind.

Political power is the obvious game here, an attempt to degrade Donald Trump in the eyes of as many Americans as possible, to destroy him, to belittle him politically so that the Democratic Party can win this year’s election.  It is nothing but a major, THE major, part of the Democrats’ 2024 campaign strategy.  I mean, if you were a Democratic Party tactician, trying to figure out how to get Joe Biden elected again in November, how would you go about it?  Would you make plans to defend Biden’s performance and record as President?  What would you suggest?  A “low unemployment rate”?  That isn’t going to cut it with people who can’t afford to buy gas or groceries.  “Well, he defended ‘Trans Visibility Day’ on Easter Sunday.”   They might want to shelve that one.  Ukraine?  Yeah, that will win him a lot of votes from the people who think it’s a New York City borough.  Is he pinning his hopes on abortion?  Victory by death?  I hope America isn’t that far gone yet.  

Joe Biden has been the worst President in American history.  The country has gone noticeably downhill—noticeable to anyone who isn’t an over-the-hill Hollywood actor or drunken suburban wine-guzzling divorcee or licentious sexual deviant.  That bottom-feeding class will vote for Biden, but hopefully isn’t most of the country yet.  

So, what do you, the Democratic Party strategist, do?  You do the only thing left—you try to destroy his opponent.  “Yeah, our guy is bad, but the other guy is worse.”  That’s it.  That is, 100%, the Democratic Party’s campaign plan this year.  And Bragg and Merchan are playing their roles like Academy Award winners.  

So, the whole trial scam is political.  It always has been.  That isn’t exactly news, is it?  The sky is blue.  The grass is green.  Kamala Harris cackles.  Whatever other obvious truism you want to use.

Now, I know you may be scratching your head thinking, “Lewis, we all know this.  Why are you wasting our time stating what every decent, intelligent American already knows?”  Well, apparently, some don’t, even some conservatives.  What set me off was reading a tweet from a very famous conservative who wrote about Stormy Daniels’ testimony being “grounds for a mistrial,” that “Merchan thinks they’ve humiliated Trump,” but actually “they’ve really humiliated themselves and debased the entire New York judicial system.”  

Well, duh.  As if Bragg, Merchan, etc. care about the fools they are making of themselves.  That tweet sounded like this very intelligent conservative person, whom I happen to like very much, is taking this trial seriously, as in it being a proper judicial procedure that was intended to discover the truth, be impartial, and do justice.  I can’t believe that any “conservative” would write from the perspective that this trial was envisioned to have any credibility at all.  That was never its purpose; its total aim is to finish Donald Trump, to win political points for the Democratic Party, to be a major cog in their scheme to get Joe Biden re-elected.  That is all it is about.  There is absolutely nothing serious—judicially—about this trial.  It is totally political.  Bragg, Merchan, the whole Democratic Party prosecutorial team are playing to the gullibility of the jury and hoping there are enough dumb Americans out there to think this is a fair trial, and that if Trump is convicted, he should go to jail and not be President.  And they may succeed.  It’s a unique campaign strategy that has never been attempted before in American history.  But desperate times, desperate measures.

They WILL get some convictions of Trump.  Of that, there is absolutely no doubt.  The only question is, will the American people buy it, or will they see through this obviously transparent political ploy by the Democrats?  

But, if you were trying to get Joe Biden elected to a second term as President, what would YOU do?  

History shows us that 40% of Americans are going to vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate, it doesn’t matter who, or what, it is.  40% will vote Republican; that’s history.  Read about it here.  The problem is, and the group the Democrats are trying to convince, is that 20% in the middle who will elect the next President.  Polls right now indicate that Mr. Biden is very unpopular; he doesn’t even reach 40% in some polls.  Not even all Democrats like him.  He is in serious trouble.  What can the Democrats do?  

Well, what they are struggling to do is persuade the nation that the Republicans are on schedule to nominate another Richard Nixon—another crook.  Mike Johnson isn’t going to let the House broadcast that Joe Biden is a worse crook than Donald Trump ever thought about being, so the Democrats have the Speaker of the House helping them.  Not many Americans would vote for a Richard Nixon today.

But that's all the Democrats have got now.  I hope enough Americans, and especially conservatives, wake up to the totally political nature of these trials against Trump and quit taking them seriously as part of a legitimate judicial process that demands a “mistrial.”  “Mistrial?”  They never should have started in the first place.  They need to be exposed for the utterly traitorous, anti-American tyranny that they are.
