THE MORNING RANT: How to Respond to Trump’s Show Trial Conviction?

Since Richard Nixon’s presidency ended with his resignation due to the Watergate scandal, all the way through Trump’s presidency, it has been the desire of Democrats and their allies in the media and the permanent bureaucracy to unseat Republican officeholders via scandals, be they legitimate, exaggerated, or completely contrived.

With the felony conviction of Donald Trump in a New York show trial, there is a new and more powerful weapon that will be used going forward against all Republicans who pose a threat to the regime, specifically, the criminalization and arrest of Republicans politicians and office holders. Don’t for a moment believe this is unique to Trump. Indictments will be forthcoming for conservative Supreme Court justices, as well as for all future Republican presidential candidates. Anyone who prefers DeSantis over Trump is foolish to believe that DeSantis won’t also face dozens of felony indictments in multiple left-wing jurisdictions if he is the nominee in 2028. Whoever the GOP nominee in 2028 is, it is a certainty he too will be tried for multiple “crimes.”

By the way, this lawfare is already established practice in Texas, where Democrat District Attorneys at the county level have indicted Governor Rick Perry, Senator Kay Hutchison, Representative Tom Delay and others for imaginary crimes. Rick Perry was criminally indicted for stating that he would veto legislation. Seriously.

Ace had a post on Friday in which he linked to a Powerline piece by John Hinderaker, who is definitely on the gentlemanly side of conservative punditry, and most certainly not a fan of Donald Trump. With the show-trial conviction of Trump, Mr. Hinderaker understands where we are, and he has had enough. He is calling for in-kind retribution against Democrats.

The Democrats understand nothing except the raw exercise of power. Therefore, Republican attorneys general and district attorneys should bring criminal charges against Democratic officeholders wherever possible. No Democratic officeholder should be allowed to retire, in any jurisdiction with Republican law enforcement, without facing criminal charges.

This is especially noteworthy to me, because Mr. Hinderaker was a bellwether in my eyes back in 2016 as far as broader acceptance of Trump’s candidacy by traditional conservatives. I was a despondent, Cruz-backing, never-Trumper who figured that Hillary Clinton’s presidency had been secured when Trump won the GOP nomination. Hinderaker was the first mainstream conservative I read who stated that of course he would be voting for Trump, and that Trump could win. A preference cascade followed, and soon the party had fully rallied around Trump, with the exception of false-flag “conservatives” typified by the writers at The Dispatch/Bulwark/National Review, who thereafter gave “NeverTrump” its slimy, opportunistic reputation.

Be it Sean Davis, or Clay Travis, or so many other prominent conservative voices, I am seeing a growing groundswell demanding that red state District Attorneys start arresting and prosecuting Democrats like Mr. Hinderaker is advocating.

Others are advocating for a financial retreat from New York. With justice thoroughly corrupted there, no red state investment dollars should be housed or managed in New York. Real estate investors would be wise to avoid New York, hedge funds should move out of that state, and tourists would be wise to stay away from the Big Apple.

There are many thoughtful pieces on what the rest of us can do to fight back. Jeffrey Carter’s “Points and Figures” substack is a must-read for me, and he offers some excellent commentary and suggestions in a post titled, “Abe Lincoln Convicted in Confederacy of Freeing Slaves; In Other News Trump Convicted”. Here are a few excerpts.

There is no difference. Trump being convicted in a pre-meditated trial is not any different than a judge from the Confederacy convicting Abe Lincoln for freeing the slaves after the Emancipation Proclamation was announced.

First off, Mr. Carter suggests that Trump should retreat to Florida, with we-the-people helping to pressure red state Republican politicians to rally around him and defy efforts to extradite him.

• Let Trump roam free as a bird in Republican governed state. Fight any and all extradition including the use of the police force and any military that the governor controls.
• Republican Attorney Generals need to engage in lawfare against any and all Democrat officials, including officials in their states. If you are a Republican Attorney General, and you have a Democratic Secretary of State, find something, anything to charge them with. I hate tit for tat, but tit for tat in this case is a lot better than shots being fired.
• In heavily Republican-dominated states, make life very difficult for Democrats. Do everything you can within the rules of your state to hinder every single idea, statement, or initiative Democrats have. If you can do things without committee hearings, go for it. Shut them out. Democrats actively do it to Republicans

There is plenty more from Mr. Carter, which I strongly encourage you to read, but I also want to highlight this one recommendation immediately below, which is important because the left is at war with all conservatives, while we on the right are mainly just fighting the left’s politicians.

• If you are a contractor, maybe pick and choose who you work for. If you show up to a house and a Hamas flag is in front or a BLM sign is in the yard, maybe go to the next job and have them go down the list. Work on out-of-the-closet Republican homes or non-outwardly political homes first. Make them suffer.

Since I started writing for Ace of Spades five years ago, the most widely linked and discussed piece I ever wrote made the same point as the one directly above. Among others, Bill Whittle featured it on one of his videos; John Hinderaker discussed it at Powerline; and Tim Blair wrote a column about it in Australia’s Daily Telegraph.

“What If Deplorables Start ‘De-Platforming’ Leftists from Receiving Skilled Trade Services?” [Buck Throckmorton – 01/25/2021]

If Monster Tech can aggressively de-platform businesses and individuals for expressing forbidden opinions, then maybe it’s time for skilled tradesmen to respond in kind against the woke left.
Leftists despise working class “deplorables” and seek to punish them for all their disapproved habits – you know - God, guns, motorized vehicles, and voting MAGA. Well, the tradesmen I know are swamped with business right now, so it might be a good time for them to establish their own “terms of service” enabling them to deny services to advocates of cancel culture. We’ve learned from Monster Tech that all you have to do is declare someone’s speech to be “hateful” or state that their speech might “incite violence” to banish someone from receiving service. If a deplorable can be targeted as hate-filled for simply supporting Trump, then a tradesman’s Terms of Service can in turn declare that any visible support for Democrats constitutes hate speech.
Broken down on the side of the road with a Bernie or Biden bumper sticker? Sorry – you’re going to have to find a wrecker that employs all 57 genders and declares all their pronouns. But Earl’s 24-Hour Wrecker won’t be towing your car today. Terms of service, you know.
Broken down furnace during a deep freeze? Too bad you advocated for a fracking ban on Facebook. That’s a violation of Smith HVAC’s terms of service. It looks like you’ll need to find yourself an HVAC company that can fix you up with 100% renewable energy if you want your heat back on.
It’s a shame about that plumbing leak, but your hate-filled “Hate Has No Home Here” sign is a violation of Jones Plumbing’s terms of service. If you’ll just open your backdoor, the leaking water will find its way out.
Low on gas in the middle of the desert? That’s a shame, but Last Chance Gas can’t put fuel in your car if it’s going to be spreading the message of hate encompassed by your COEXIST sticker.
Can such service be denied? The left is already doing it. My town posts winter road updates on Facebook. I can’t express my political views on Facebook or else Mark Zuckerberg might deny me access to life-or-death info regarding roads.
As the defenders of Monster Tech like to remind us, if I don’t want Facebook banishing me for having the wrong opinion, then I can just go start my own social media monopoly. Well then, it’s not asking too much for the left to go start their own skilled trade services.
It shouldn’t have to come to this, but we’re already seemingly here. In addition to the de-platformings by tech companies, some banks are refusing service to gun shop owners, retailers are banishing products from My Pillow, etc. If we can only buy products and services from those within our political tribe, leftists are really going to hate the new rules when they’re in critical need of a skilled tradesman.

We didn’t want this political, cultural, and judicial climate. This is a dangerous moment that we have sought to avoid, but it was forced upon us. The left-wing establishment must be made to pay for their abuses that have now culminated in the criminalization of opposition to the establishment. We are in a cold civil war in this country. These peaceful counter-actions provide us ways to fight back and keep this battle from getting hot. Taking “the high road” and acceding to the left’s criminalization of political opposition will result in the loss of our republic.

15 I'm not holding my breath waiting for any red-state AGs or prosecutors to indict and prosecute any prominent Democraps. If they were going to do it, they already would have. They did nothing. Absolutely nothing. I don't think they even sent any strongly-worded letters.

It took a Democrap to even prosecute Hunter Biden, who is one of the most obvious and admitted criminals in the country today.

To my knowledge, not one single GOP prosecutor did a single fucking thing about Hunter, despite his obvious drug abuse, whoring and sex trafficking, gun crimes, money laundering and influence peddling, and general scumbaggery. This fruit is so low-hanging it's laying on the ground. And still the GOP did nothing.

40 Trump’s not wrong. The system is broken. Everyday Americans saved us. How 12 regular folks, an immigrant judge and a focused DA finally laid Trump low, after the elites and their system failed.

Donald Trump has not shot anybody on Fifth Avenue ... not yet. It’s one of the few felonies he’s managed to avoid in a yearslong crime spree that’s included defrauding banks, running a scam university and a scam charity, committing what a judge later ruled was a rape, pulling off a hush-money scheme to interfere with the 2016 election, abusing his office to seek dirt on Joe Biden from Ukraine, plotting an attempted coup and encouraging his supporters to storm the Capitol, making off with top-secret papers, and promising to destroy the planet for $1 billion in campaign contributions.

When Trump didn’t lose any voters, as he’d promised, the establishment — Congress, judges and prosecutors, the news media — froze.

It took the untainted eyes of 12 everyday people to reveal what “the system” has been refusing to see for decades. The streaking Emperor of Fifth Avenue had been wearing no clothes the whole time. And the felonies he committed should not go unpunished.

56 With the show-trial conviction of Trump, Mr. Hinderaker understands where we are, and he has had enough.

Sadly, genteel Hinderaker hasn't quite figured it all out yet.

He also said after that:

I don’t think Merchan will jail Trump, as that would risk a backlash in Trump’s favor.

He hasn't figured out yet that the D's are playing for keeps.

Of course Merchan is going to order Trump imprisoned on July 11th

Adam Schiff explained what the strategy was yesterday - imprison Trump, and hope that that triggers off "J6-style" riots (aided and abetted by the FBI, of course).

Those riots will be used as an excuse to massively crack down on any opposition to the Democrats prior to the election.

In the short term, the most important thing is not rise to the bait - the Democrats are terrified that they will lose in a landslide that will make it impossible to steal the election, so they desperately want Republican violence to change the direction of the election.

Assume that anyone calling for violence online on July 11th is a Fed, because he probably is.

SCOTUS could have interceded and put the kabosh on the election fraud, effectively ending the steal and saving us from the effects of this venal, kiddie sniffing pedophile and his pitiful excuse for an administration.

61 What sayeth the Republicans about Trump's legal persecution? Apparently not much. They don't seem to want to get involved and possibly meet the same fate.

The destruction of the GOP was always going to come with consequences. In a way, I hope one of those is the wholesale arrest and imprisonment of Republicans in Congress.

They've not learned a thing in the last 30 - 50 years. Maybe a few years in prison will open some eyes... but I do not, under any circumstances want any sitting Republican to ever hold office again.

As for the Democrats... types.... deletes

“Let the process play out. We must respect the decision by the judge, or jury, or faceless unelected unaccountable bureaucrats”. Rinse, lather, repeat.

The normies have done little more than call in to radio programs lamenting the “hypocrisy” and saying things like “Imagine if the roles were reversed”. They seem to think there are still some white hats or honorable people, somewhere, that will put an end to this stuff. Another good ‘un - “the pendulum will swing the other way”.

Fortunately, the neo-con Institute For The Study Of War has good news from the Ukrainian front today!

3/ Ukrainian field commanders are reportedly compensating for training difficulties that mobilization has exacerbated by training new personnel on the frontline.

Ukrainian field commanders' decisions to train newly-deployed personnel on the front before committing them to combat indicates that the overall quality of Ukrainian forces will likely remain higher than that of Russian forces in the near- to mid-term.

This cocksucker will 100% jail Trump for as long as he possibly can. He already orchestrated the most corrupt, unconstitutional hangman's trial in USA history. Poor black guys accused of raping white society women got fairer trials in the 1850s deep South than Trump got. Why would he stop now? He's got the fake jury verdict. That's all the "cover" he needs.

The only -- ONLY -- possible glimmer of hope is that the Democrap machine sees that further prosecuting and punishing Trump will only make him stronger, and they tell this cocksucker to lay off. I put that possibility at less than 10%, if even that.

138 Normal, decent, peaceable people were told to stand down for decades, back when there were still remedies, distasteful as they might have been. “Trust the system”

Meanwhile all along leftist ideologues consolidated power and controls over everything. They obviously spent considerable effort at queering the natural revulsion to their policies electorally.

They have perfected the cheat, and no longer need to adjust policies or care a whit what voters think. There is no leverage. “I don’t need your vote to Win” and “We have to the most inclusive voter fraud organization in history”. Etc.

Regarding the actions of the left in power over the past 8 years, do these seem like the kind of people who would think like that? Who would consider ceding power for a moment to reconsolidate?

I mean, sure, it would be a good strategy (assuming they could maintain the line within the administrative state which, with Chevron on the chopping block, is far from assured), but are these the kind of people who would decide to take it and became to keep their minions from ruining it by...say...cheating too much in Philly?

They can't just turn off the cheat. If they did, there would be a collapse of Democrat support in key states.

180 Link at Insty (goes to WSJ, which I don't get):

Also on Friday, the Chicago Business Barometer, also known as the Chicago purchasing managers index and a gauge of economic activity in the region, fell to 35.4 in May from 37.9 in April. The importance of regional PMIs shouldn’t be exaggerated, but this one seemed more noteworthy than most. It was at its lowest since May 2020, during the lockdown period of the pandemic, according to FactSet.

All those readings came on the heels of a downward revision in first-quarter gross domestic product growth on Thursday, to an annualized 1.3% from an earlier estimate of 1.6%. It was mainly driven by a declining estimate of consumption, again suggesting a flagging consumer. In a note, economists at Capital Economics said they are now expecting growth of just 1.2% in the second quarter, down from an estimate of 2.7% a couple of weeks ago.

In short, signs of a slowdown are becoming hard to ignore.

Yeah, no.

If they have any say in the matter, and they have an outsized say in the matter, they will never let Trump near the levers of power ever again.

The reason why they went to Defcon even before he became President is that Trump is literally an outsider, who they had no power over, they have nothing to hold over him, to bribe him with, they have NOTHING.

For political purposes, Trump is the most honest and above board and earnest person to ever step foot into The Oval Office, with possibly the exception of Ike, that is why they destroyed him, that is why they are pursuing him and hounding him, they cannot afford him having the power of The Presidency again.

So, they are not going to stop.

Much of the power in red states is still concentrated in blue enclaves that hate the red sections with an unholy passion. They'll do anything now to keep an (R) from ever assuming the governorship ever again.

263 Nice post. Your only mistake is that Hindreaker, though he may have voted Trump in 2016, has routinely been anti-Trump through 2023. Post after post on Powerline from has been slanted against Trump, and the PLB commentariat routinely crucifies him for it. In 2024, he started to come around, culminating in the post everyone has been referencing. But he's not trailblazer. He's a jonny-come-lately, but at least he's here now and not making inane statements like Larry Hogan.

I have a friend of 30 years who is rabidly and publicly anti-Trump. He's always been a liberal, but he's so ridiculous now, and he has a PhD in European history with a specialty in Nazi Germany. He knows better but seems to think Trump is a fascist, insurrectionist. I really don't want him to suffer, but I see that being the only way people of his ilk will stop. Agreeing to talk only about kids and sports will never make him stop lying. By suffer, I don't mean I would do anything but basically end our friendship.

imo it was all planned, and those that got duped were of no help to Trump. Some like Proud Boys were a main target of FBI, and some stayed outside, still got arrested.
