I feel confident that we won't see chaos as a result of the verdict. Although, that doesn't mean other factors later won't cause this.
If Disorder Erupts, I'd be curious if it's the left celebrating or creating false flags to inspire some Jan 6th type event.
I feel the "let's say MAGA" conservatives will wait to see this overturned on appeal. We've also had discussions about the Secret Service commandeering an entire jail wing, the lefts intent to remove Pres. Trump from the ballot based on this verdict and their preventing Trump from campaigning.
Provided Trump is kept safe, this will all work out! But, we know the Deep State is in a "Must Win at All Costs!" Action. Rigging Elections, Campaign lies & propaganda and infiltrating all conservative efforts will be extreme for the next several months!
Frank AI helped me find a new (to me) word to describe these sanctimonious politicians who are prosecuting Donald Trump while claiming to be “preserving democracy” and following the rule of law: “mountebank” ⤵️
The word **"mountebank"** is pronounced as /ˈmaʊn.tɪˌbæŋk/. Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:
- **MOUN**: rhymes with "town"
- **TI**: sounds like "tea"
- **BANK**: as in the financial institution
### Definition and Usage:
A **mountebank** is historically known as a person who deceives others, especially by selling quack medicines or engaging in trickery. The term has broadened to describe anyone who uses deception and trickery to achieve their goals, often for personal gain.
### Etymology:
The word originates from the Italian phrase **"monta in banco,"** which means "climb on the bench." This refers to the practice of charlatans standing on benches in marketplaces to attract crowds and sell their dubious wares.
### Example Sentences:
- The traveling mountebank captivated the crowd with his elaborate tales and dubious remedies.
- He was nothing more than a mountebank, preying on people's hopes and fears for his own profit.
### Connotations:
Calling someone a mountebank implies that they are not only deceitful but also showy and flamboyant in their deception, often putting on a performance to convince others of their false claims.
Shakespeare, used the word in “The Comedy of Errors.” It pretty much describes the NY Court System—just as rigged as NY’s Election System is rigged.
“They say this town is full of cozenage,(trickery)
As nimble jugglers that deceive the eye,
Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind,
Soul-killing witches that deform the body,
Disguisèd cheaters, prating mountebanks,
And many suchlike liberties of sin.”
(1.2.100–5)12
The Bard could have been describing the devious jugglers of the law—the actors scheming behind the curtain, pulling the strings for Bragg and Acting (State) judge Merchan. This State prosecutor and judge took over federal jurisdiction, now what will the Supreme Court do about that.
Andrew Weissmann (Mueller Counsel brain) predicted more than a year ago that the trial would take place as it did, just ahead of the election. He wrote an article, which was an open letter to Alvin Bragg.
The piece was written from his senior fellow position at Reiss Law Center NYU—a think tank for the Democrat Party, and the National Security establishment. Reiss also includes senior fellow Lisa Monaco.
Bootstrapping a federal crime (which never happened or was never charged and whose statute of limitations if it had been charged has run out) to a concocted state violation, a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations has also run out, is a devious connivance that is typical of scheming LawFare.
Thanks for sharing your dream. I am saddened by the loss of the rule of law, or rather the bending of it for political gain. We must focus on finding ways and means to re-establish the proper rule of law and not through violence. Our current government is about as close to dictatorship as I have ever seen. It must be revised, and 100 million voters can revise it.
I asked Frank AI a couple of questions about this and got the following replies:
Q. Is it possible to take old misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and somehow transform them into a felony conviction?
A. Generally, it is not possible to transform old misdemeanors into felony convictions after the statute of limitations has expired. The statute of limitations sets a time limit for prosecutors to bring charges against someone for a crime. Once this period has passed, the individual can no longer be prosecuted for that specific offense.
Here are some key points to consider:
1. **Statute of Limitations**: Each state has its own laws regarding the statute of limitations for different types of crimes. Misdemeanors typically have shorter statutes of limitations compared to felonies.
2. **Double Jeopardy**: The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects individuals from being tried twice for the same offense, which means once a person has been acquitted or convicted, they cannot be retried for the same crime.
3. **Charge Reclassification**: While it is generally not possible to reclassify a misdemeanor as a felony after the statute of limitations has expired, there are certain circumstances where related but more serious charges might be brought if new evidence comes to light and those charges are still within their respective statutes of limitations.
4. **Legal Advice**: If you have specific concerns about a legal matter, it is always best to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide guidance based on the specifics of your situation and jurisdiction.
Q. What would you say if something like I described in my question above had been weaponized as lawfare to be used against a political opponent?
A. Using the legal system as a tool to target political opponents, often referred to as "lawfare," is a serious concern and can undermine the principles of justice and democracy. Here are some key points to consider if such a scenario were to occur:
1. **Due Process**: The foundation of any legal system is the principle of due process, which ensures fair treatment through the normal judicial system. Weaponizing legal mechanisms against political opponents can violate these principles and erode public trust in the legal system.
2. **Abuse of Power**: Using the legal system for political gain constitutes an abuse of power. It can set a dangerous precedent where legal actions are driven by political motivations rather than justice.
3. **Legal Recourse**: Individuals targeted through lawfare have legal recourse, such as challenging the legitimacy of the charges, seeking dismissal based on statute of limitations, or exposing the political motivations behind the actions.
4. **Public Opinion**: Public awareness and media scrutiny can play significant roles in highlighting and condemning instances of lawfare. Transparency and accountability are crucial in maintaining a fair legal and political environment.
5. **Rule of Law**: Upholding the rule of law is essential for a functioning democracy. Legal actions should be based on evidence and merit, not political vendettas.
If you suspect that lawfare is being used in a particular case, it is important to consult with legal experts who can provide guidance on how to navigate such situations and ensure that justice is served fairly.

It’s a sad day for our republic.
I agree with Deb King.
So do I.

Whatever consequences follow, ultimately it's lemonade from lemons.
I’m sorry to say this, but lines have been crossed. They have sown the wind. We are not in a good place.

I do feel you and your dream are correct. Rocky days ahead…buckle up!
