Breaking moments ago, the New York Times is reporting that President Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, the sealed indictment will be released in the next few days and the surrender of President Trump to law enforcement in New York City is being worked out.
(NEW YORK TIMES) – A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.
The felony indictment, filed under seal by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now.
[..] Mr. Trump has consistently denied all wrongdoing and attacked Mr. Bragg, a Democrat, accusing him of leading a politically motivated prosecution. He has also denied any affair with the porn star, Stormy Daniels, who had been looking to sell her story of a tryst with Mr. Trump during the campaign.
Here’s what else you need to know:
♦ Mr. Bragg and his lawyers will likely attempt to negotiate Mr. Trump’s surrender. If he agrees, it will raise the prospect of a former president, with the Secret Service in tow, being photographed and fingerprinted in the bowels of a New York State courthouse.
♦ The prosecution’s star witness is Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer who paid the $130,000 to keep Ms. Daniels quiet. Mr. Cohen has said that Mr. Trump directed him to buy Ms. Daniels’s silence, and that Mr. Trump and his family business, the Trump Organization, helped cover the whole thing up. The company’s internal records falsely identified the reimbursements as legal expenses, which helped conceal the purpose of the payments.
♦ Although the specific charges remain unknown, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors have zeroed in on that hush money payment and the false records created by Mr. Trump’s company. A conviction is not a sure thing: An attempt to combine a charge relating to the false records with an election violation relating to the payment to Ms. Daniels would be based on a legal theory that has yet to be evaluated by judges, raising the possibility that a court could throw out or limit the charges.
♦ The vote to indict, the product of a nearly five-year investigation, kicks off a new and volatile phase in Mr. Trump’s post-presidential life as he makes a third run for the White House. And it could throw the race for the Republican nomination — which he leads in most polls — into uncharted territory.
♦ Mr. Bragg is the first prosecutor to lead an indictment of Mr. Trump. He is now likely to become a national figure enduring a harsh political spotlight. (LINK)

How? The jury wasn’t even meeting?
To distract, so as not to have protests.
I really wish commenters would give context to their link but click on it… DCDraino is spot on
Agree……
Time for a narrative shift!
The trans shooter story needed to be squashed. Not good for the Democrats and looney wino liberals!
You believe what has been rumored? How do you know they did not already vote?
This could be the NYT telling the truth. Or what somebody has rumored.
How many times has the so called ‘government’ lied to the people or maybe one should ask, how many times has the media lied to the people? The answer to both is “too many times to count”.
No, it was a mistake to assume the jury would not indict just because of the 30 day recess announcement. Yesterday several articles or comments appeared on social media stating that the recess could be interrupted at any time for an indictment vote. Apparently they didn’t wait for the recess to begin….which was likely the planned strategy anyway.
Exactly. A ruse from start to finish.
They could have indicted before they recessed for a month, and Bragg kept it under seal.
Kept it till they needed to change the news cycle.
They voted in it before they adjourned. Bet on it.
Odd how Ron the Con is on a “book signing” today
That was a lie to prevent “protests” I guess
Berian prosecution.
That is all.
This make be the darkest day of our now fallen Republic.
And bananas don’t even grow that well in most of the country.
No, 1530. Perhaps the only thing that distinguishes this one from the rest. Well out, I am sorry to say.
“Its a republic if you can keep it.” These people believe they have corrupted the system enough that there will never be a moment where they are held to account. So any presidential candidate or past president is now open to charges filed by a local District Attorney? Bill Clinton? Barack Obama? Hillary Clinton?
This is new territory that only people that grow bananas have experience in. How long until Bill is brought up on charges for Epstein the next time he visits a red DA’s area?
This is a new level of evil.
The Marxist Dims just changed the rules: “Gladiators, take to the aren floor, there are NO Rules of combat there,… just one imperative,.. Survive, if you can!
They will Rue this day.
My thoughts exactly Betsy. my first thought was TAPS at our gravesite.
Poignant, oldschool. Nothing could be more appropriate. Nothing.
Yes. OTOH, President Trump survived both “indictments” (shampeachments) by the corrupt House of Reps. which were equally as shaky and weak from lack of hard evidence. This case stretches the statute of limitations 2 years beyond its 5 year limit for the particular charges, and so far the evidence that’s been discussed appears weak, so we will see how this plays out in the near future.
I think he will survive this, GB. This is clearly and indisputably political.
But the idea that this would be attempted and achieved at this point simply defines us as no better than any other country which has done the same thing.
Those countries which previous administrations have excoriated for doing exactly what is being done here.
Our star as a moral republic has fallen and is being dragged through the mud. It didn’t just happen. But this act has definitely brought the curtain down on any pretense that we are better than anyone else.
I don’t think we’ve been a moral republic for at LEAST 100 years. THAT’s the root of the problem!
We MUST, like maybe Steve Bannon, declare a nation-wide, national MONTH (at least) of prayer AND fasting!!!!!
I agree, Guest. As far back as that.
It’s the unmitigated, high handed, holier than thou, sneering down our noses pretense that gets to me.
I detest hypocrisy. Our false face is well and truly ripped off now. There’ll be no putting it back on.
Survive?? Betsy he will be at 75% by Easter! DeSantis just had all his O2 sucked from any potential campaign. This is a tar baby deluxe for the demoncraps. No way Trump isn’t the nominee now. I agree this is the height of low, but this will not work! Too many waking up now.
We were hardly ever a better country BTW. Just have the best system of gov’t which we have chosen to ignore.
What I meant was he would survive, or beat if you prefer, this obviously ridiculous indictment.
And yes this kack-handed political pantomime will most assuredly guarantee his nomination.
His persecutors are so blinded by hatred they can not see the tripwire they’ve set for themselves.
I am not worried that this will see its way to the conclusion envisioned for him by deranged and myopic dimwits.
The only thing they’ve managed to do is turn President Trump into the proverbial ham sandwich.
Oh and by the way…
Do not let this well timed indictment shift our focus from the so called RESPECT Act, now being debated in Congress by the tyrants, both sides, who wish to control our speech completely.
Somewhere in this whole business today, I smell a squirrel.
Agreed. I fear assassination.
My prayer and my hope is that this trial will fail.
But I am prepared and acknowledge that what I think and feel doesn’t matter.
we are dealing with a very profound evil.
Evil cannot be leashed or tamed or reasoned with.
My expectation, the worse case scenario, is likely: he will be charged, tried and convicted.
what happens after that …that is more important that what happens in the trial and his conviction.
and conversely, what happens if they fail to convict afterwards will also be just as important.
they things happen because evil is unchecked.
challenge accepted.
God Bless America
Regitiger, I’ll leave a link below wherein it states there are a plethora of charges, not just the Daniels payment.
They mean to get him and they are unleashing it all.
I believe as you do. Evil has been turned loose and satan is in his element doing his worst and more. There is no other explanation for all we are seeing. None.
Archbishop Vigano has said as much. I feel he will address this in the days ahead, and I shall be vigilant in watching for his remarks.
We are on the precipice. As events unfold day by day, I pray Almighty God has not turned His Face.
Day by day is how we have to proceed, with abundant prayers that His warrior angels will surround President Trump and his family…and us.
Blessings, my friend.

I have seen the above link after my above comment. At the time I posted it, I was under the impression the Daniels charges were the only ones they were going after him with.
They are not. All their guns are loaded, no empty chambers. It seems they intend for at least one charge to be successful.
we will meet them on the field..
no matter what happens in this “trial”..
it will be settled.
God Bless America
With His help, sir. Amen.
ty for the info.
I frankly have not followed this story. I cancelled myself from reading almost all of the press reports about this kangaroo court weeks ago. self imposed positive mental energy policy.
I’m only surprised President Trump hasn’t been charged with jay walking at this point.
God Bless America
You’re welcome. This place has become my go to reliable source. It’s a thing to try to keep one’s perspective, sanity, and peace these days. I understand exactly what you mean.
I find myself looking up rather than out. That is where our hope is, as it should be, regitiger. But you know that…
“We are on the precipice. As events unfold day by day, I pray Almighty God has not turned His Face.” This is the point of their doing something that has never happened in the history of the United State of America.
Evil has been loosed and believes it can act and change the game before we are prepared. These people have gamed this out and have a solution that puts them in the drivers seat. We are not prepared for the depths they are willing to go for this to be the end on their terms.
Just off the top of my head in trying to think like them:
How long will PDJT be separated from the Secret Service while being booked into custody? One door slams shut before the SS detail and President Trump is swept off to where there are “no working cameras”. Epstein didn’t kill himself. Will we just add Donald Trump’s name to the next mimes because we weren’t prepaired?
We must do everything we can to stop this. I’ll be calling congress critters tomorrow. What can we do?
I want to stay informed, Robb. But like you I tend to start with A, move to B, and so on…gaming out how things can develop, for better or worse.
These people have lost their minds and their souls. I cannot think as they do. I said elsewhere I can’t imagine being filled with so much hate, as they are.
As for what can be done?
One thing we mustn’t do is react in a hot headed manner, which is exactly what the foreign occupation in our government are desperate for us to do.
It is my belief, as I’ve said elsewhere, that they are applying the same finger in our chests as they are with Putin, hoping for anything which will give them the excuse to declare a suspensions of our constitutional rights. And all that means. I’m sure you understand. We must not give them what they are no doubt aiming for.
Oh Dear Lord, I wish we had an answer…prayer to start. After that? I simply do not know…
Started praying at the announcement. God acts and expects His servants to act with each persons skills. We must all do what we can.
Triggering a bigger version of Jan 6th may be the point so violence can’t be perused but we must stand against their evil in every way we individual can. Starting to gather in our local area may be the thing that causes pause.
Luke 10:19, Robb.
https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Luke-10-19/
Agreed, Betsy.
You have a way of encapsulating the core of a situation so very well. I always perk up my antennae when I see your name.
I have just finished watching Tucker Carlson’s show. He had excellent guests, gathered in such a short time after the indictment was announced.
Glenn Beck was savvy and powerful.
Jason Whitlock was one of the several who brought tears to my eyes. He and Harris Faulkner spoke about faith matters.
If you or any reading my post did not see the show, I urge you to find it tomorrow online wherever you can.
I suspect, Sundance will post it, aDoozy. Thank you for the heads up. And I do sincerely thank you for your too kind words. Bless you.
How do you introduce evidence? Game on!
You would have to wait for a trial, and this is not the kind of matter that typically goes to trial. So many of the involved characters are unsavory, and the subject is lurid. IMO neither side really wants this on the news, so they will settle.
Maybe President Trump could now hit 80% in the polls?
Sky’s the limit. Look at the opposition… a complete Clown Show on The Left, a RINO Poser, and Liz Cheney.
Exactly !!!!!!
24 year old just texted me, “TRUMP JUST GOT INDICTED”, “HES GONNA WIN IN 2024”.
.
Very proud Dad of a Rush Baby!
Rick Grenell, President Trump’s former Acting Director of National Intelligence just called on Tucker Carlson for ALL other GOP Potus candidates to drop out immediately and stand firm as One GOP Party to defend Donald Trump as the GOP’s sole Nominee.
What is the roll of the Secret Service here?
Will they arrest him or escort him?
In the old days, the Secret Service was bound by the rule of law, but since that antiquated notion has been discarded, highest bidder rules.
Escort him. They have no authority to arrest on a state court indictment.
There will be no grandstanding per Bill O’rielly a week or so ago…
Go to jail too? Their duty doesn’t stop.
The Last Stand is upon on us.
It’s time for Trump supporters (who far outnumber the fraudulent leftist,) to stop participating in this farce known as Biden’s communist USA. We need to organize, work and protect our own…. create our own system and leave these commies to their leftist commie Utopia which will eat itself.
Time to shutdown the country Truckers first… Followed by Cops and Firemen.. Bus drivers Pilots electricians..! week @ a time…
Shut the whole mess down and only provide service to conservatives and like minded people.
How do you propose that “conservatives and like-minded people” be identified for the use of those who provide the services?
It you can’t figure that out, you got bigger problems.
Calm yourself. Your rhetoric is becoming personalized and escalating reading like rolecon troll behavior.
Okay, LOL…. Calm yourself, I simply said if you can’t see the difference between a conservative and a communist you have bigger problems.
Galt.
I like the phrase “CTRL-GALT-DEL”.
I sure hope fatso Bragg is triple boosted. I don’t want him to get to enjoy that Soros money
No matter as there is only one punishment for treason, which breaking a sworn oath to uphold and protect the constitution while politically attacking opposition … that needs electric bleachers or a mass of nooses stretched across the inside of the stadiums across these United States.
Just because the state claims they are not committing treason as they attack the citizenry without legal authorization of Congress declaring a war, which last happened for WWII, only proves there intent and already proven actions of sedition and treason by WHERE WE ARE TODAY in this REPUBLIC based on Equal Laws For ALL..
He should not go near any windows…
HE would be a dumb believer and has maybe had hopefully at least 6 boosters.
Good. Let this be the hill that they choose to die on.
“ it will raise the prospect of a former president, with the Secret Service in tow, being photographed and fingerprinted in the bowels of a New York State courthouse.”
Please make this happen.
I want a tee shirt with President Trump’s mug shot on it.
Holy crap I hope he smiles in it.
Splodey heads…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I yet again, dont have words…….
Third world, banana republic.
Yuup, that is the used to be United States; no longer.
I just donated to President Trump on http://www.donaldjtrump.com. I don’t like it’s going to winred but I still wanted to make a point!
Sorry, I no longer give. It went places I didn’t ask for it to be given, so I refuse to give any more of my meager old age benefits. They take enough as it is, but giving to those I don’t approve of is/was the end for me.
Take to the streets! MAGA!!
Nope…just surround the DA’s office 5 blocks deep.
A few days ago a trans freak with mental problems murders 3 babies and three adults.
What to do….?
Indict Trump!!!!
What a piece of shit DA.
President Trump just won by the biggest landslide America will ever see.
Again?
Please Lord, we ask you in Jesus name, protect President Trump and make this a show of lies and that You are The Lord, and the Luciferians do not control anything!
I want Trump to be president now, but will settle for 2024.
However, I am under no illusion that he will we awarded the presidency…
Between voter fraud, illegal indictments, j6 committee sedition, idiots who will vote for Biden & Desantis; there is zero chance he is allowed back into White House.
Even getting 100 million votes, Lawfare, the Supreme Court and Congress will make up a new rule to stop him.
If that doesn’t work, then Deep State and Uniparty will assonate.
I have tears in my eyes just typing this…
I’ve never considered Donald anything other than MY PRESIDENT. I refuse to acknowledge the fraud removed him from being my elected President.
this is why I am careful to always refer to him as PRESIDENT TRUMP.
conversely, it will always be joe malarkey..the navel gazing ambulatory senile moron.
God Bless America
Did the NY Times also reveal when PDJT was convicted and jailed, and what he had for breakfast on his first morning behind bars? Obviously, the NY Times is in-the-know.
They know that he will be convicted in NY. Until Democrats face the same conviction guarantee in red areas this won’t stop.
We need to automatically convict any Democrat that comes before us if on a jury
Sorry, but I would just prefer to remove the cancerous rot of socialist in government that commit treason daily by breaking the sworn oath of office to uphold and protect the USA Constitution.
War time conditions, war time rules apply.
Just because they did not declare war on you legally does not mean they are not already warring with you as they have NOT legally declared any military/war/actions since WWII.
I am with Libby. Two wrongs don’t make it right.
When Biden called trump supporters terrorist he basically declared it already.
So much for Grand Jury proceedings being secret.
This GJ was never intended to be secret. Getting President Trump indicted /arrested in the Fake News was the objective of this entire kangaroo case.
there were two impeachment hearings…a large number of republicans were in favor. had it not been for some senators who stood firm and some great attorneys, President Trump most certainly would have been impeached.
“out of office” cancelled by an election fraud, facilitated again by many GOP members and very big “conservative money”, President Trump continued to present formidable and effective politics shaping strategies. Just by simply TELLING THE TRUTH.
Now that is POWER…It is incredible power. It is most certainly the kind of power that gives the corruptors night terrors heading into a decidedly favorable MAGA ELECTION WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP WINNING IN 2024.
this NY DA is going to indict, try and convict President Trump. He will do it, because that is the ONLY way these corruptors know how to hold on to power. Rather than change and become MORE SUITABLE TO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO REFUSE TO CHANGE.
This is the strategy to make him “unqualified” to become the next President. It will have a huge effect. It will of course polarize this country and yes it will provoke a very angry directed response.
these are not stupid people. They are evil, broken, corrupt souls, but not unintelligent.
They have weaponized the justice system to basically assassinate their political enemies.
DULY NOTED.
the response will not be pleasant for these scoundrels.
May God Have Mercy On US.
God Bless America
President Trump has been put in the role of a ham sandwich at the moment. Trial court is a whole other ballgame.
LOL read my mind GB!
he has good legal minds no doubt about it.
God Bless America
They WERE secret! Do you know what he’s specifically being charged with? Neither do I. Do you know how the jury voted? Neither do I. What evidence convinced them to indict? No idea. It’s a secret.
We were all blindsided after the announcement of the jury’s month-long recess, thinking an indictment was not forthcoming or might never happen. Guess why? The proceedings were secret.
I cringed when President Trump praised the Grand Jury earlier this week. Felt in my bones a shit storm was coming.
I know this is old fashioned, and I know this question is ridiculed by some, but isn’t there supposed to first be a law to break?
That is the rumor.
They’re writing it now.
There’s no one laughing at or ridiculing you, emet.
Secret Service had better live up to its sworn oath to protect the 45th President of the United States.
How do you write radical democrats so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a decent human being, and I take away morality, reason and accountability.”
You could just as well and accurately expressed the sentiment by quoting Udall directly. Have you seen the women who vote for Clinton, Monkey 44, Hillary and Xiden? Are there more or fewer of that sort being churned out by universities?
I’ll leave it to Ann Coulter to be the sexist pig who thinks women should not be allowed to vote when she notes that it was after women got the vote that welfare state programs and agencies started up and began to flourish, government spending exploded, and that if women were not allowed to vote, a Dem would never win a national election again.
“KEY POINT: When President Trump recently stated that “he would solve Russia’s yearlong war in Ukraine in 24 hours if he’s reelected to the White House” he made himself an arch-enemy of the Khazarian Cabal.”

The complex criminal conspiracy to falsely indict President Donald Trump actually has its roots in the final days of the Obama administration. The key institutional players are the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Obama White House. At that time, hardcore liberal prosecutor Meg Reiss was appointed. Legal hitwoman whose only mission is to utterly destroy the rule of law across America. In her eyes, the civil and criminal law of the land — also known as the United States Code — simply doesn’t exist. They have the power and will use it as you’ve said..
@johncardillo
From NY law enforcement sources: Alvin Bragg isn’t smart enough to orchestrate the Trump prosecution. He’s an incompetent figurehead. He’s not the one to watch. His deputy Meg Reiss is behind this. She’s a close Soros operative and committed radical with significant global connections. Reiss has probably had more impact on radical weaponized prosecutors around the country than any other single individual.
I don’t believe anyone has mentioned this but, does congress not have a slush fund for paying off accusers for exactly the same thing they are trying to create / accuse / apply / arrest / convict PDJT for?
With TAX payer funds no less.
Lawfare should then be used to go after any congress critter that got taxpayer funds to hush accusers then ….. it IS the same thing after all is it not?
Isn’t this blackmail to begin with to try to get hush money in the first place?
Certainly congress critters have paid out lots of Taxpayer monies from the slush fund, has any of those accusers ever been arrested, jailed and brought to trial for blackmail?
Perhaps all the accusations were true (Kamala?), promoted to a higher “job” in government even up to VP? Blackmail?
My heart is broken. How can this happen in America?
Have the Democrats always been so politically corrupt??? Or was I just naive?
The CIA killed President Kennedy.
That’s what Robert Kennedy, Jr. says & he would know!
Yes.
Yes and the GOP is almost as bad
Is as bad, or worse! There. Corrected it for you.
So Bragg ‘went there’?
Everything in the New York Slimes is potential propaganda. But would they lie this brazenly, only to be promptly proven wrong?
Provisionally, I’m going to accept this shocking story as true.
With an alleged Trans Day of Rage brewing on Saturday, and millions more of us infuriated by New York’s egregious abuse of the judicial process, it looks like the Wokester elite is hell-bent on provoking no-hold-barred chaos in the streets.
Let it bleed …
I truly believe that’s the plan.
Every bit of tranny tantrum will be blamed on MAGA.
They keep doubling down like in Ukraine…
Mr Bragg has open a whole can of worms. BHO next? What about Bush? Interesting.
Too bad they can’t go back and indict Billy boy Clinton for his little payoff. Wouldn’t that be justice.
THAT would be TOO GOOD!
And, of course, they ( supposedly) indict the HONEST politician! Why am I not surprised?
George Bush could be indicted, along with Cheney.
Please keep President Trump in your prayers. Thank you All
Archangel Michael protect and deliver him.
Archangel Michael protect him.
In Jesus precious name, Amen.
Amen.
I thank you both for looking to the One who can help save this Republic!
The ONLY ONE WHO CAN!
“My God, my God—–why hast thou forsaken us?”
They just guaranteed his victory in 2024.. I think he wanted it….Now he can go after Bush Obama Biden in 2024…
We don’t need victory in 2024,. we need to stop participating in Biden’s communist utopia. If he is gonna spit on us and our leader/ real president, we need to leave him and his commies behind. No more economic alignment with them, no more production for them, don’t make food for them, don’t work for them, stop providing all service to them.
Can a convicted felon (no matter how wrong the charge) be POTUS?
Yes.
the constitution ONLY lays out THREE (03) qualification requirements to run for POTUS.
so legally, no, a conviction here would not be a disqualifier.
but that does not describe the threat that dangles to a conviction.
what party would allow him to run?
he would have to run on an independent ticket.
also this would be another explosive public court of opinion hit piece…one that will have a significant amount of influence to voters. The press will make sure of that, as they have already proven…porn star…paid off to prevent the story from publish before his 2016 election. They will make that the story…does not have to be true. it isn’t true. Doesn’t matter. And yes, it will also CREATE MORE VOTERS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. It will do that too.
I don’t think many people remember what happened politically to John Edwards. It was a SALACIOUS indictment play out for maximum effect in the press. Whether or not the allegations were true was not the goal. It was to smear him. As Nancy Pelosi stated “the wrap up smear”. Or in CIA nom: limited hangout.
the criminal investigation..the allegation of wrongdoing….enhanced with some 2 bit porn star…voila’…you just rolled a fat political burrito.
what happens USUALLY is that person is kryptonite ….no one wants to touch.
This is a very old ancient gimmic….
will it work?
I would say it depends on how voters respond?
I would also say that President Trump has an opportunity RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW to completely sweep the board with these mongrels.
He KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT..unlike Edwards..unlike even bill clinton.
President Trump is an enigma. He has a certain trait that QUALIFIED HIM BEYOND ANY STANDARD METRIC.
HE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT.
we must do OUR PART to make it happen.
God Bless America
enigma… another word for authentic. Anyone with half a brain and sense of decency understands his fight.. our fight. Thanks Regi for your wisdom throughout…
Maybe – only if the respective / applicable statutes of limitations don’t get in the way…..
Is America Becoming a Banana Republic?
June 4, 2020
https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/is-america-becoming-a-banana-republic
During the heated Presidential campaign of 2016, the term made its way into mainstream American politics, often glibly. President Trump invoked it in October, 2016. “This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt banana republic controlled by large donors and foreign governments,” he told a cheering crowd in Florida.
Not becoming, we already are a Banana Republic. The USA is the most corrupt country in the world.
1945: America helped defeat fascist countries.
2023: America has become a fascist country.
Hundreds of political prisoners and now this (another bigoted fascist DA and bigoted fascist jury)
We are the Fourth Reich.
Actually we became a fascist-controlled country in November of 2020.
Sadly with a lot of help from RINOs like Billy Barr. I don’t how they sleep at night.
Bet it was right after the close of the fighting of WW II, when we secretly brought them in. All those good Germans. Now, look in the mirror.
Those Nazis were certainly involved with the darker elements of our government. But few Americans back then realized what Operation Paper Clip was, much less know what was being planned…..
November of 1963.
Well, by that standard you could also say it started on April 14, 1865…….
But if you mean we were being controlled by fascists – consisting of political “leaders” being in bed with the military industrial complex – you may have a stronger argument.
I think we still had some degree of control via elections – the fascists surely didn’t want Nixon but he won two terms anyway. Then they surely didn’t want Reagan in there but he won by large margins twice.
Perot spoiled Bush Sr’s expected win in ’92 (riding the coattails of Reagan), and Perot spoiled Bob Dole’s vote totals in ’96. But I don’t think Dole could have overcome BJ Clinton in ’96 even with Perot’s votes. It would have been darn close though.
Of course, we don’t know exactly what the grand jury under the direction of DA office want to indict Trump for, it is currently sealed.
As legal scholars left and right pointed out DA Bragg has little legal case to indict Trump, I hope for the sake of the country we will know soon enough about the exact language and terms in the indictment.
Presumably Trump’s lawyers will move to dismiss the indictment since Bragg is using the alleged violation of a federal statute to raise a misdemeanor to a felony. And the feds refused to indict on that violation. It would be up to a judge, but I wouldn’t hold out much hope for a Manhattan state court judge giving Trump an impartial ruling.
And I thought Hillary got away “doing the same thing” with just a fine.
She did and so did Obama.
That and much worse.
Vince Foster????
Impartial? ROFLOL!!! Surely you jest!
Grand juries have always been an abomination of justice, but it was thought at least the accused could defend themselves in court later. Now however blue cities know they can charge and convict any right-leaning person whether there is even a crime.
They are trying to provoke violence from the right. They need to change the narrative from the rampant left wing violence.
No need for violence just stop providing any economic service to any leftist commie supporters. Stop providing food for them, etc.
Exactly. If you are a tradesman refuse to provide service to any Democrat. If you give to charity, stop as the charity is probably giving money to Democrats. If you have friends or family members that vote Democrat, cut them off not one penny for anything and certainly not invites to parties, weddings, etc.
It goes without saying to not buy anything from a Democrat business.
And, the fact that dollar died yesterday, and will completely crash within the next few weeks.
This.
Provoke the Right to violence? We’re lambs.
Astute observation
I’d guess that Bragg will ask for a pre-trial gag order on Trump.
Judge will probably put a gag order on Trump and ban him from holding campaign events.
Can’t do that.
That is illegal as it goes against the First Amendment and that “judge” is a political actor that needs to be removed for bias and treason.
It’s time to make any breaking of the sworn oaths of office to be punished once more as required under the Constitution.
Way past time to impeach judges. And I include SCOTUS Justices also.
Judges’ gag orders can include lawyers, parties and potential witnesses. They do have to be reasonable. I would hope Trump’s lawyers have convinced him NOT to say anything more about Bragg or this case.
I’m on social security with a very small pension.
In today’s economy, I live from check to check.
I will skimp even on necessary purchases to send a donation directly to PDJT.
Gold Bless PRESIDENT TRUMP.
God Bless you!
You say banana..I say republic..you say banana.. I say republic.
Somos Venezolanos hoy!
how odd that monkeys like Obama and Bragg turned a developed nation into a banana republic.

The Rubicon has been crossed.
I wonder if these fools understand the potential bloodbath they may have begun. If you’re waiting for a NY jury to acquit, betting on hell freezing over would be a better bet. As a country we are so screwed. Give up or fight….the only choice we have now.
It’s official
Banana 🍌 Republic
We have arrived!
The first GOPe pseudo-conservative RINO that in any way, shape or form comes within a mile of condoning this shit is going to have his head handed to him…. figuratively, of course.
Ever see water 💦 roll of a ducks 🦆 back?
They got him!
Yawn.
Also donated. Largest one yet.
LFG

They can keep this tied up in the courts for years he does not have to do anything until they come and show him the indict mant this is terrible hate these dam people i pray for him and his family
Robert Gouveia just went live on you tube discussing this indictment:
Do we march, or do we stay on our knees?
Both!
One should be on one’s knees while praying.
May God’s Will be done.
Ron and Casey must be celebrating tonight. Their moment has finally arrived!
I will not vote for Ron. I’ll vote Trump. I don’t care who “wins” the Presidency if it’s not President Trump, because it won’t matter.
He has no moment. He’s a disgusting pig!
Great article minutes ago by Techno Fog (attorney) on the “felony indictment”.

They know they are royally screwed now. If President Trump isn’t at 75% and climbing by Easter I will eat my hat!
The best solution is civil dissolution, The differences in ideology are irreconcilable. Trump needs to lead 75 million MAGA Trump voters to a new political party, and that new political party needs to create a new nation

Creating a new nation can only be done by civil war, I’m afraid. There will be no peaceful solution to this.
Civil war ends with one side controlling the losing side. the two sides are still in one nation. The Marxist will not leave even if our side wins a civil war. I favor a civil dissolution where state legislatures vote to join a new nation
see George Mason’s America http://www.gabbypress.com
I’m voting for President Trump or no one.
Statute of limitations is 5 years on felony charge. This alleged act occurred 7 years ago. Nice try, though.
The “act” being payment of hush money.
I can easily see a corrupt judge declare the statute of limitations void in this case due to the “severe threat to national security”.
I’m so ashamed of our country right now, how disgusting the US has become.
Not me.
I live in the GREATEST country in the world at this time.
Sadly I have been unsuccessful to date to remove the corruption from the government because they are UNELECTED “federal “employees” that we are not allowed to question or fire for the harms they have cause the country and citizens, let alone the damages they do in our names around the world with the rest of the corrupt crooked criminal cartel of global socialists.
No other country is based on a constitution which guarantees the citizens inalienable God given rights of speech and firearms for safety and removal of criminals in all places. No other country has that, period, and that is why we have been under constant attack of hundreds of years.
So true.
IMHO, we as a country, are no longer BASED on the Constitution. We have seen two-tiered justice; we have seen the bill of rights tossed; we have seen the foundation of America trashed by cultism and perversion ; we have seen tyranny rise in darkness as our government blatantly lies to us and hides things from us; we have seen our own representatives turn against us in deeds; we now have division and hate fomented and nurtured between us and our families, friends and neighbors. The union established by the Constitution is dead, breached by self-serving and self-aggrandizing tyrants and oligarchs.
The formation of a new country, though complicated and beset with fear, is the only solution that I see that will remove the yoke of corruption and allow rebuilding.
Ben Franklin was right.

Announcement!
These people think they are so smart…they actually think this will move support from Trump to DeSantis 😂🤣😂😂. Sorry RINO’s….still not voting for the meatball….I’m sticking with Trump…period!
This is what you call a tar baby. PDJT at 75% by Easter!
What about the signed letter from stormy saying the “tryst” didn’t even happen? I thought that would be cause to drop the indictment.
That’s not at issue and is immaterial.
Call me naive, but I truly dont understand how he can be indicted for something that never happened.
Happens in banana republics all the time. That’s practically the definition of one. They use the structures and laws of a Republic, but twist them and misapply them. And the only ones they obey are the ones they’ve weaponized to destroy their opposition.
It’s evidence that goes to credibility, and that issue is reserved for the jury at trial.
Lady Justice is not weeping, she is sobbing.
My heart is breaking for him. If he had not brought attention to the laptop from hell and the possible treason done to the country by the grifter Biden family none of this would probably be happening.
Lady Justice died in 2020 I think, didn’t she?
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Third world banana republic!
I don’t want to hear one more word from any politician talking about other Countries arresting and throwing opposition in jail. WE NOW DO IT TOO!
Ugh!
I am so damned angry.
They think they can make him look bad having to answer about Stormy Daniels. The unique part is not just a former President, but to indict the next one.
The next move is to stop him traveling so he cannot have rallies.
My thought exactly .
Exactly. They’ll call him a “flight risk” and deny bail as well.
