WSJ: "A Destructive Trump Indictment"
As conservatives have been saying for a while now: we now have a two-tiered system of "justice:" one tier for the left / Democrats, and blue-approved groups, and another for...whoever the left doesn't like. Prosecutorial discretion is clearly being misused all across the country--and it seems to be misused in this instance as well.
I'm inclined to agree with this:
Republicans deserve a more competent champion with better character than Mr. Trump. But the indictment might make GOP voters less inclined to provide a democratic verdict on his fitness for a second term. Although the political impact is uncertain, Republicans who are tired of Mr. Trump might rally to his side because they see the prosecution as another unfair Democratic plot to derail him.
The first sentence: yes. I tend to incline away from practical arguments like that in the rest of the paragraph. Bit it's probably right. I, too, think it's important to keep Trump out of the White House. But that isn't a legitimate reason for this indictment. Trump, dumbass that he is, gave them a pretext by blabbing about hiding the documents. But there's just not enough difference between this case and the Clinton and Biden cases for it to pass the smell test. (And Clinton covered up her carelessness--and used it as a predicate of a plot to undermine the election of 2016--with Russiagate.)
And, to be clear: though it's very important to keep Trump out of the White House, it remains much more important to keep the Dems out. Trump's a narcissistic loon. But the whole left side of the spectrum seems to have lost its goddamned mind. Nothing can convince me to vote for the party of relativism, Lysenkoism, tactical redefinition of words, male women, brainwashing and mutilating children, BLM and racialized/politicized prosecution, fiery but mostly peaceful riots, tactical exacerbation of racial strife, open borders, thought-and-language control, COVID hysteria, mask hysteria, vaxx hysteria, climate hysteria...and dishwashers that don't work.

Help us, Obi Wan DeSantis...you're our only hope.
