The problem is not the politicians so much, since most of them are just paid robots who work for the Epstein cabal of pedo and tax-evading billionaires, people like:

Les Wexner
Charles Bronfman
Edgar Bronfman
Max Fisher
Michael Steinhardt
Leonard Abramson
Harvey Meyerhoff
Laurence Tisch
Charles Schusterman
Steven Spielberg
Lester Crown
Marvin Lender
Ronald Lauder

And now they whine when the same thing they imposed on many others comes around to Kimmel.

The boycott, banned and canceled thing, is not protected by free speech, but those banning, canceling and calling for boycotts aren't exempt from lability, slander and defamation lawsuits.

Protesting a faulty product, or exchange, that the company refuses to remedy is one thing. But demanding action against a person you don't agree with, is nothing short of a serious liable lawsuit.

This shit needs to stop, you can't spout off unfounded hyperbole against people, organizations and companies where your intent is to inflict social, and economic pain, and have zero consequences for your actions.

America is never going to heal as long as those Bolshevik perversions of our laws are allowed.

Shame is not a valid substitute for our laws.

Politico headlined it: “Letitia James pursued Trump. Then she was indicted.”

Long before New York Attorney General Letitia James “pursued” Trump, and long before she had any idea what Trump might have done wrong, Mx. James promised progressive voters to find something—anything!. That’s why Politico’s headline earned four cabbages on C&C’s “journalistic malpractice” scale.

The accurate headline should have been, “First Letitia James ran on Getting Trump. Then she was indicted.”

In her delirious 2018 election night victory speech, Mx. James put an exclamation point on her get-Trump pledge, promising not to stop looking until she found a crime: “As the next attorney general of his home state, I will be shining a bright light into every dark corner of Trump’s real estate dealings.”

It took a while, but she finally found one. With enthusiastic assistance from corpselike judge Arthur Engoran, Mx. James obtained a record-smashing half-billion-dollar fine in a highly technical case with no identified victims and extremely debatable real estate valuations.

Anyway, New York’s appalled Court of Appeals promptly scratched the fine, as every lawyer not taking antipsychotics had predicted would happen. BBC:

Appeals court throws out Trump's $500m civil fraud penalty
21 August 2025

Though stubbornly continuing to claim victory, Mx. James has appealed the decision to New York’s high court, which is expected to promptly render its decision sometime in early 2037. Anyway, the point is, after all that falderol, James’s historic fine was erased like a child’s sand drawing of a Falstaffian DA washed away by the incoming tides.

While the total spent is not yet known for certain, New York’s legislature reportedly budgeted $10 million taxpayer dollars to James’ get-Trump case. She recovered zero dollars in fines, and Trump got elected anyway. So.

New Yorkers, I hope it was worth it.

Yesterday, the Department of Justice issued its criminal indictment of Mx. James for mortgage fraud. It is a simple, one-count charge. Unlike James’ case against Trump, it is based on straightforward law. It is neither novel nor creative. Many ordinary Americans have been convicted for doing the exact same thing.

The short indictment alleges that James obtained a mortgage on a small house. She confirmed in writing —under penalty of perjury, on multiple forms— that it was a personal residence and definitely not a rental, thereby obtaining a lower interest rate on her mortgage. But then she regularly reported rental income from the property on her tax returns anyway.

It’s not a lot of money, not relative to the Trump case, anyway. Over the 30-year life of the loan, James only stood to benefit by about $20,000 dollars.

But it’s enough.

Nearly all lawyers who’ve examined it, including TDS-infected ones, have concluded that, unless the DOJ has its facts wrong, the DOJ has the Trump-prosecuting DA dead to rights. Open and shut. Do not pass go.

James now faces a maximum penalty for federal bank fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344) and making false statements to a financial institution (18 U.S.C. § 1014) of up to 30 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines. She is also subject to possible forfeiture of any “improperly gained” assets— presumably the house. (The DOJ helpfully included a forfeiture notice in the indictment.)

Ironically, James tried to forfeit all of Trump’s New York assets.

Assuming she is convicted, James’ sentence will be decided by Judge Jamar Walker (Biden, 2022). Judge Walker, 37, has been described as Virginia’s “first openly gay federal judge.” On the other hand, before taking the bench, Walker was a federal prosecutor specializing in financial and public corruption crimes. So.

Ironically, in a video statement yesterday, James claimed that her indictment was just “weaponization of the justice system” and a “blatant perversion of the system of justice.”

The hilarious thing about Galloway is as soon as there were enough Muslim voters in his Constituency, they completely replaced his Red Ass with a one of their own.

Folks are also starting to notice the decided lack of enthusiasm from people who, until ten minutes ago, were willing to risk jail to protest the continuing Gaza war. They wanted a ceasefire and they wanted it now. They camped in tents on college campuses, occupied libraries and admin buildings, marched in protest rallies, and generally made odious nuisances of themselves to the point it required a federal response.

Now, having achieved what they insisted they wanted, they’ve suddenly become as quiet as teenagers sneaking out a bedroom window after their parents went to sleep. And from viral posts on social media yesterday, many normal people are noticing. What were all those protests really about?

Future hypocrisy:

When a Dem POTUS uses the Trump ballroom. No flaming mention of it is made by the Left, either.

And if someone says in reply to this, "You don't know that will happen"

My response:

You have probably not failed to notice the incessant recital of the phrase “our democracy” by Democratic Party field marshals starting with “Joe Biden” in the final months of his, uh, late performance. “Our democracy” has nothing to do, really, with citizen participation in governance. The phrase is a cover for their desperate power-seeking — for instance, the “nomination” of Kamala Harris with zero democratic voting procedure — in the service of preserving a vast empire of rackets that siphon taxpayer dollars into multitudinous NGOs and countless government programs that provide jobs and free stuff to an ever-growing class of parasitic dependents in the party’s thrall. ...

Meanwhile, the emerging scandal around the “Arctic Frost” scheme executed under “Joe Biden’s” DOJ to harass and persecute his admin’s political adversaries, takes shape as “worse than Watergate,” in the words of Senate Judiciary Committee chair Charles Grassley. Fresh evidence about this nefarious activity only reinforces the developing seditious conspiracy case that will be prosecuted out of the Southern District of Florida encompassing the entirety of treasonous acts from RussiaGate forward amounting to a long-running coup that never did manage to succeed, no matter how they keep at it.

You know the names of most of the major players involved, and ever more members of the supporting cast, lodged in the Deep State, are being revealed daily.

ELON TO JOE ROGAN: “THE LEFT CAN’T EVEN SEE THE CENTER WITH A TELESCOPE"

"I think I’m a centrist. But from the perspective of someone on the far left, we look right-wing.

Have you seen those videos people post online where they take a speech from Obama or Hillary and interview people on a college campus, asking, 'What do you think of this speech by Trump?'

And they’re like, 'Oh, I hate it. He’s a racist bigot.'

And then it’s like 'just kidding, that was Obama.'

No, actually, that was Obama or Hillary.

To your point, the left has gone so far left that they can’t even see the center with a telescope."
