The Partisan Prosecution of Donald Trump
Progressives have been hyperbolically outraged for months that the Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has remained on the bench for Trump’s document case in Florida. Notably, Cannon was given a motion by Trump’s team to dismiss the case and she denied it.
Progressives have been equally angered that Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito has not recused himself from cases involving January 6th over his choice to fly the Appeal to Heaven Flag that was originally created by George Washington. Literally, until last week, the Appeal to Heaven Flag was flying in front of San Francisco City Hall until the left deemed it to be racist.
Meanwhile, nearly none of the progressive pundits or mainstream outlets have noted that the judge for Trump’s hush-money trial in New York gave $35 to a political fund that was designated to stop Trump. Since the donation was below the $250 threshold, Judge Juan Merchan had the chance to make the donation anonymous but chose to make his actions public.
None of the progressives upset with Cannon or Alito cared that the prosecutor was a man who campaigned on indicting and prosecuting Donald Trump. Instead, they memory-holed Bragg’s District Attorney campaign and have repeatedly claimed that Bragg was reluctant to prosecute. None of the outraged progressives cared that Bragg’s untested legal theory - which combined state and federal law and was passed on by the Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission - was specifically designed to catch Donald Trump.
The double standard that progressives have is profound. The appearance of any form of impropriety is discrediting for conservatives but is completely disregarded when applied to the left.
But there’s more. Watch:
Please replace the term "Progressives" with "Democrats" and your points will be accurate.
I am a progressive. The first progressive POTUS was a Republican. Progressive, if words have real meaning, isn't at all what the Democrat party is. They are the opposite. They are deconstructionists. They are a threat to progress. They are not really statists; they are not happy with the status quo... they want to break it and regress.
Trump should have grabbed the label MAG instead of MAGA. Reagan campaigned on Making American Great Again... and it was a mistake then. The vision should be forward, real progress, solving real problems, making life better for the average American family.
In my liberal community where local control is dominated by that species, there is no evidence of any progress. Every category of health of the community is in decline. However, they are sure that LGTB issues and climate crises are the only things we should be focused on.
But if you really think about and understand their motivation for elevating these things, neither have anything to do with progressive advancement. They really don't care about any people impacted by these topics. They are only cult memes to push scarcity of progress.... to attack and stifle all those with productive talent... to drive down the old standards of people advancing to high status by core values, hard work productive merit. They cannot compete well enough in that space, and although they have financial success they know their real character is lacking measured against those with real productive merit.... so they are using their new money to destroy what is really the good... taking us to a dystopian nightmare.
What we have is a societal change where we have over-educated the worst among us and given them the keys to power and control. They are NOT progressives. They are sick. They are the modern Democrat party.
It did not used to be that way. But it is now.
Two systems of justice, two sets of rules, two sets of standards, all of which are selectively applied (or not) for political purposes. We The People witness it every day.
