There are a lot of different ways to respond to the sham verdict in the Trump trial this week. If you’re sharpening a lawnmower blade in your darkened basement right now, who am I to judge? It’s not as if we live in a real country any longer, where the rule of law that we grew up with still exists.
The one response that none of us want to hear on the political right at this moment is the one that most elected Republicans are giving. They’re telling us that they’re sad about the verdict.
You’re sad?! If you don’t get in this fight right now, you’re NEXT, you %@&$!ing idiots!
Thursday afternoon was one of those moments in a nation when time stands still. It’s like when 9/11 happened, or the assassination of JFK. Something died in the moment when it was announced that Donald Trump had been found guilty on all 34 counts in this sham New York trial. I’ve been warning everyone for months that this was going to be the outcome and I was still shocked to the core by it.
Like many people, I’d been praying that there would be one or two holdouts in the jury of Trump-hating Manhattanites, which would have resulted in a hung jury. That would have been the best possible outcome for America.
But guilty on all 34 counts?
I’m one of the most mild-mannered people in the MAGA world, and this verdict made me have murderous thoughts. I don’t even want to go into details on some of the stuff that went through my mind, because local law enforcement might show up at my door.
If I’m thinking this way, I can only imagine what some of the more hardcore MAGA patriots are thinking. One thing I do know is that in moments like this, we need to channel our anger instead of just flying off the handle.
The response to the verdict was almost immediate—and this is one of the correct responses. People donated massive amounts of cash. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) announced that the GOP website had taken in nearly $50 million in donations in just a few hours before it crashed. Trump’s website brought in almost $35 million before crashing. Lee Zeldin announced that a wealthy donor had just contributed $800,000 to Trump’s reelection campaign; Zeldin noted that it was the easiest “ask” he’d ever made.
The response on Twitter/X was nearly universal as well. Shawn Maguire, a leftist crypto dork in Silicon Valley who donated to Hillary in 2016, announced that he had just given Trump $300,000 and announced that he’s voting for him. He notes that these lawfare cases against Trump are a far bigger “threat to democracy” than Trump’s “grab ‘em by the [redacted]” comment on the Access Hollywood tape years ago. At least some people get it.
Andrew Tate announced that he had just sent $200,000 to “my n*&&a Trump.” Twitter/X helpfully added a Community Note to the tweet explaining that Trump is a white man. I admit I laughed at that one.
Tim Pool, Jack Posobiec, Matt Walsh, and other rightwing figures all announced that they were maxing out their donations to Trump that same day. That is significant because guys like that don’t usually donate huge amounts to campaigns. They view their day-to-day work as an in-kind contribution, so when they open up their wallets, it truly says something.
The scales have fallen off everyone’s eyes now. We all realize that if they can do it to Donald Trump, they can do it to any of us.
Well, the scales are still firmly in place over the eyes of most GOP lawmakers. They’re sad about the verdict. So sad!
Here’s just one of the worst examples. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. “Today is a sad day for all Americans,” he tweeted.
No. Not good enough.
What he should have tweeted is that the committee he chairs will be holding an immediate impeachment vote against Joe Biden for soliciting and receiving bribes from China and Ukraine, and for treason against the United States.
We don’t want to hear that you’re sad. We want to see lists of prominent Democrats who you plan to jail for treason. The only way that this can be ended is if Democrats have to start living with the pain of this new system they’ve created. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
Rest assured, you’re in good company, and MILLIONS of us agree with you.
Wise Americans will do well to write to their elected officials, and EXPRESS YOURSELVES!!!!
The Democrats need to be careful for what they wish for because what goes around comes around because their are a lot of them who are still questioning the 2000 election and every election since to this day where are all of their indictments and when Joe Biden leaves office in 2025 he can be indicted for committing treason because in his own words he said he has sold our secrets that is treason and if I remember correctly with history to commit treason against America the punishment is death by hanging in the Democrats will raise holy hell when what they have created and started gets turned on them they will blame it all on Republicans like always cuz they are all cowards and Liars and never can I meant when they are dead wrong
Do Democrats ever get punished for what they’ve done wrong
Only if Republicans do their job and stop the corruption rather than roll over and business as usual, with the RINO’s that is supporting the Dems and too many other gutless wonders cooperation with Dems by doing nothing.
agree, prison for crooked democrats isn’t good enough
Yes,but even better real justice recommends the whole Biden Adm should ALL be EXECUTED for TREASON,and ALL of their personal assets CONVISCATED!!!! End of story!!!! Enough of this Bidens’ Bolshovic COMMUNIST PARTY!!!
In the words of a Clint Eastwood movie “HANG EM HIGH”
I must be your Clone …. I am very much like how you describe yourself and had exactly the same emotions over this Kangaroo Court ! And I came to the same conclusion …. A huge and immediate donation to Trump would send a much clearer and frightening message to the Left ! But we must spread these results out over and over to get the average clueless American to realize what really that farce meant to American freedom !
What happened to my PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS CORRUPTION AT ITS FINEST !! It’s time ⏲️ for the TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT HERO TO ⏰️ up.!! The call for the GOOD GUYS TO WAKE UP ⏰️ is given !! The evil corrupt cheating nazi communist terrorist anti-american anti-christian ANTI-CHRIST puppet master obama and his nazi puppet sleepy Joe Hitler biden and his corrupt DOJ AND FBI LEADERS AND HIS corrupt democratic party’s need to come to an END !! VOTE THEM ALL OUT !! END THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AND OUR GOD AND OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR FAMILIES !! WE ARE NEXT AMERICAN PATRIOTS !! STOP THEM OR WE WILL TURN INTO APRIL 12 , 1961..
God bless you I couldn’t have said it better ?!!!!
We will all continue to vote for President Trump of course but more importantly the removal of the democrat majority in the Senate and the slim margin in the house MUST be done as well. Executive orders are nice but they can be removed by the next president. Laws are permanent unless changed by the entire congress.
WE HAVE TO HAVE TRUMP AS PRESIDENT, A FULL MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE BEFORE WE CAN TAKE ALL [AND I MEAN ALL] THE DEMOCRATS GARBAGE PLATFORMS AND BURN THEM IN THIS DUMPSTER FIRE THEYVE CREATED….WE CAN THEN MAKE OUR COUNTRY THE COUNTRY THAT OUR FOREFATHERS WISHED AND WANTED….IT WILL NEVER BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, BUT IT WILL BE 7 TRILLION TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT THESE FOOL LIBERAL COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS ARE GIVING US!!!!!
This all started in 16 when trump was being nice and didn’t put KILLERY in prison and showed the democrats he was playing nice and they could walk over him. When we the people elect him this time let nice sit this one out. I want to see the Donald Trump that just go screwed over by American traitors and is driven to seek justice done not just for him self but for all of us loosing control of our country and futures. That’s the Trump I’m voting for.
I believe the best response will be the election of former President Donald Trump to the presidency. Then he can clean the house, not unlike they did with the “old Scotland yard.” Then, he should call to prosecute those who participated in this fiasco. I believe the prosecutors, backed by George Soros, have committed federal election interference. He should call for the arrest and prosecution of George Soros and ban donations from foreign citizens. Finally, He should call for the trial of Mr. Biden for his role in the invasion of the US from our southern border.
I’m giving everything I can… And I feel exactly as you do about this travesty of what we recall justice to be back when we had a true Constitutional Republic. Now our elections can be usurped by shopping for the correct jury instructed by the appropriate judge and the corrupt DOJ prosecutor coach tush-pushing a state prosecutor who lacks jurisdiction over federal law. It’s a complex web of evil that took a long time to weave… But it happened. I pray the Constitution will somehow prevail over this “scheme”. If not, I fear we are approaching another “Lexington and Concord” incident. We defeated a tyrannical government once before. It can be done again.
I notice that all the comments are not calling for violence but for the fight to elect President Trump and all republicans running for office. We need to send a loud message to Democrats that their time is limited in this free, law abiding country. They can all move to china, Cuba, or any other communist Marxist country.
Fu**k the Republican party..the party of spineless fakes who are scared of their shadows…the only Republician I will ever vote for is President Trump…
Sad….baloney. ALL Republicans must unite and get our man back into Office. And when he gets there without the help of these “fellow Republicans”, he can do something about them.
Evil prospers when good men/women do nothing. In this case I wonder how many of our ‘reps’ and ‘senators’ are on OUR side or traitors also playing politics while empowering the Dems. For gutless wonders, get guts NOW!
