Charles: I know we are at that precipice. I am paid by the People to know these things, and then act accordingly.

While "all politics are local," all politics /governing are interlocked. I see North Carolina's 5 sanctuary counties possibly yearning to be more like the Non Patriot governments of the Blue States, and then it could trickle down if we are not vigilant.

It truly is "Normal vs Crazy."

And Charles, thanks for your analysis. It truly is a spot on version of what is real for real people.

Stan: I have an observation with two conflicting conclusions. First, debating a tunnel visioned idealogue is really not worth it. Second, debating as tunnel visioned idealogue serves to shine light on the ridiculous line of thought that is such a threat to any semblance of a free society. I go back and forth on what is the best course.

I suspect what is happening in New York now is just the beginning. Even before all this, New York was one of the more difficult places to do business just because of the strict regulatory culture there. Now with the courts being used as political weapons, they are likely to be shunned by anyone seriously wanting to do business in the Empire State. It's just too lawless to take the risk of exposure to such potential punitive shakedowns that are now being allowed in New York. I don't think I take much comfort in the promise that this is a one-time event just for Trump. That admission actually makes it worse, because on some level they even take some public delight in their thuggish deeds and can't contain the bravado. So much for the law.

If this stands, it will be a significant blow to our American Republic. Even if it does not eventually stand, the fact that it happened is an indicator of just how far we have fallen.

Big Bob: This is NOT about me, and those like me, this is Normal vs Crazy! The Smart vs the Stupid; the Patriots vs the Non Patriots.

When you, and fools like yourself, accepted Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) as a way of life, you accepted all of these mantles and more, and that is the insanity of it, which we well recognize, that the rest of US are throwing off just to survive as a Constitutional Republic.

That is the real of what it means to be a patriot with a full measure of understanding of what it means to be a citizen under the guaranteed protection of this nation's Constitution.

By the way: There is NO "compromise" with the Crazy, the Stupid, and those that hate this Representative Republic. That is what elections are for.

RH I guess we have a different definition of strength. Your lord and savior was the strongest "man" to walk the earth, and yet never hurt anyone. Trump is just weak. Not sure how Mellon Head can stand it, but the money helps.

Big Bob: Color me arrogant because I despise the corruption and ignorance in the very politicians that you have proven to be so very fond of all you wish, but the real people I associate with know that there are tremendous tragedy occurring daily because of corrupt and ignorant Leftist and inept RINO politicians.

Big Bob: It is all just so many meaningless words; that is the measure of what you profess.

Big Bob: You Leftists are clueless about damn near everything ... and, it truly shows.

If we had a strong president like Trump, we would not be having these foreign problams. The solution is to get Trump back. A pathetic scatter-brained weakling like Biden makes America weak. Destroying our armed forces with DEI political officers, like the political officers in the old Soviet army, makes our military weak, too.

Oh, and Little Bobbie, conservatives can multi-task, even if that is a challenge for lefties. Another way we need to show that America is strong is to defend our border from illegal alien invasion.

That article by Constitutional Law Professor Turley shows a frightening abuse of power by far left Judge Engoron in the Trump case in New York. Yes, those truckers are highly justified if they shut down New York. That despicable scoundrel in black robes has rigged this to hurt Trump severely in the wallet to even appeal. That is not American justice, that is Soviet style "justice".

This political abuse of Trump reminds me of a saying I once heard: "If you want justice, go to a whorehouse; if you want to get screwed, go to court".
