The best part was last night at the DNC, when the red headed snake woman said that if Donald Trump gets in he'll weaponize government against his political rivals. I mean... this is what you are fighting against. Mao got nothing on this group.

This is a great quote by Grace McAndrew Whitnah: "...and the 4 that Trump was in,

all they did was attack him and made up fraudulent claims about him." This brings up the next point. The fraudulent claims continued after he was out of office too.

It's just that this time they recruited the entire judiciary to get him through the actions of prosecutors. Why is that so different? It is because it required all of them to break the rules of professional conduct to get him. What difference does that make? If they break the rules, the rules mandate that they all be disbarred for doing it. The next question is, if this is obvious why aren't the Republicans, who many are lawyers, ringing the alarm bell over this which involves the Republican colleague by the name of Trump? Here is the newsletter, entitled "The Supreme Court Buries Professional Misconduct" that documents this malfeasance: https://therunnymedereport.substack.com/p/the-supreme-court-buries-professional?r=3tdx2w

On weaponization of government by Dems under the Biden/Harris regime:

Manufacture lies about the truth that was the Hunter Biden laptop? Check.

Issue administrative orders to open the borders to a massive surge of effectively illegal immigrants? Check.

Deploying the apparatus of the state to pressure social media to censor disfavored opinions? Check.

Throwing money (student loan debt cancellation) at their base - Gen Y and Z voters fortunate enough to have been to (increasingly worthless) college - at the expense of their opponents - those who forwent expensive college or paid as they went? Check.

Denying facts or even debate about the origins of Covid-19, efficacy of preventive measures, or massively detrimental effects thereof, dangers of the vaccine, and the benefits and safety of existing low cost pharmaceuticals? Check.

Coercing through extreme measures (the denial of a livelihood) the forfeit of the right to bodily autonomy? Check.

Complete takeover and lock step messaging from dominant media outlets of Democratic propaganda (e.g. "Joe Biden is sharp as a tack", "Republicans are weird", "joy")? Check.

Weaponization of the legal system (passing laws temporarily changing the statue of limitations), for harassment of the leading political opponent? Check.

Neutering the standards and moral of the Secret Service to allow an assassination attempt on said opponent? Check.

Flaunting the power of the unseen oligarchs running the DNC (and the country) by openly defying longstanding democratic processes to manipulate (not once, but twice) the selection of the Democratic nominee? Check.

Placing former congresswoman and presidential candidate (and noted shamer of Kamala Harris) Tulsi Gabbard on a TSA watch list with punitive effects? Check.

Trust died here.

This is a great, great quote by James Roberts: "Weaponization of the legal system

(passing laws temporarily changing the statute of limitations), for harassment of the leading political opponent? Check." There were many irregularities in that NY hush money case, even illegal. However, those irregularities fall within the discretion of the judicial process to overturn or not overturn it. However, underneath all that was the weaponization of the legal system that involved serious professional misconduct that necessitated the state bar association and the judiciary to get involved to stop it.

Those were not areas of discretion. Those were areas of the mandatory requirement of the legal profession to penalize the prosecutor for misconduct. Instead, they all looked the other way, hoping (successfully) that the American people would never figure it out. Here is the newsletter that documents this travesty so that the American people can know the score. It is entitled: "The Supreme Court buries Professional

Compounding inflationary pressures with an infrastructure bill that seems to have produced little observable infrastructure? Check.

HI RR. Thanks for the shoutout and driving home the point about prosecuting these crimes. They are egregious and without notorious sanctioning of the guilty parties, they are sure to continue.

Look no further than that great sage Barak Obama who when asked when he was going to prosecute the Cheney/Bush regime for their many crimes against the state and humanity said: "We need to look forward, not backwards". My first thought at the time was, "Crimes happen in the past asshole".

Clearly Barak "Wants to know what can be, unburdened by what has been"

You can forbear, defer, or do the " $1 every 269 days" thing to keep your loans out for default, but interest accrues, so it's just making a bad situation worse. That's why we need the leverage of bankruptcy returned. The Founders called for this ahead of the power to raise an army and declare war in the Constitution;. When we get that leverage back, as it exists for all other loans, everything will change. Until that happens, we are well and truly F'd. Kamala is a disaster. The Republicans are evil, and the Department of Education is booking $100 Billion per year in interest (alone) in the meantime. It is a rigged game. Now it is an utterly, completely, and catastrophically failed loan scam, where 85% of everyone is no longer paying on their loans. This could have a good ending, or a really, really bad one. We are now looking at the really bad ending. And this was totally foreseen and planned, btw....

The "net" held the promise for a new and expanded consciousness and conversation among the worlds free peoples. It also made the machinations of political/financial grifters transparent to public scrutiny. Hence their world wide crackdown on free speech and expression.

This is an important point that Mike R. makes about Glenn Greenwald and Jonathan Turley. Both are overwhelmingly known as proponents of civil liberties. But is that projection true to reality? The U.S. Supreme Court, the lower courts and the state bar associations collude with the prosecutors to "remove" fair trial rights against targeted defendants when it politically suits them. Yet, neither Greenwald nor Turley have any problem with it. Indeed, as long as they promote free speech to the heavens it will act as a sedative to readers in distracting them from seeing all this coming down. Moreover, both Greenwald and Turley are lawyers.

No one knows better than them that this corruption is going on. Here is a newsletter that documents the collusion of the judicial officials in destroying fair trial rights right under the nose of Greenwald and Turley. It is entitled:

The Supreme Court Buries Professional Misconduct."

I agree, the inquiry is important because it's reasonable to want to understand how Tulsi ends up on a TSA terror watchlist.

This is an all-time great quote by Jose Weto: "When people use the power of the state as a weapon against their enemies, look the f*ck out." One great example of this is the Peoples Court in Germany. It was established by Adolf Hitler in 1934. Guilty results were determined before the defendant even entered the courtroom. Who would ever think that the U.S. with all its "freedoms" and "due process" would ever resort to this. Yet, the power of the state is used as a weapon whenever the government targets an individual with the guilty result being predetermined.

It has been going on for the last 61 years. Most recently, it was the get Trump campaign in the four illicit prosecutions.

The prosecutor, in the hush money case, converted the case into a "People's Court" case when he illicitly used negative extrajudicial publicity against Trump to contaminate the jury pools to achieve the guilty result.

Here is a newsletter to show how he did it with the support of the U.S. Supreme Court. It is entitled: This is the Professional Misconduct that the Supreme Court Buried. It is the Record of New York's DA Bragg. Part One."

Ecclesiastes 10:2 says, тАЬThe heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.тАЭ A fool is one whose wayward heart turns continually toward foolishness. тАЬFools speak foolishness and make evil plansтАЭ (Isaiah 32:6). Proverbs 26:11 says, тАЬAs a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.тАЭ Fools do not learn their lessons from the mistakes they make. They continue doing the same foolish things over and over again, to their own destruction (Proverbs 18:7)."

> Notice that no Dems are outraged or stepping up to find out why this happened!!

That's because everything must be partisan now, including your accusatory comment.

This is a great quote by Drew: "That's because everything must be partisan now, including your accusatory comment." Partisanship indeed, can obfuscate so many things that are not partisan at all. Democrats can scream of injustice. Republicans can scream of injustice. Yet when injustice is staring them in the face they refuse to call for penalties against the wrongdoers. Recall the investigation of DA Bragg and ADA Mark Pomerantz into their wrongdoing in the hush money case. Not even a whisper was heard from the Republicans, much less the Democrats, on the disbarrable professional misconduct they committed against Trump. Here is a newsletter, published this week, that documents what happened that proves this point. It is entitled "This is the Professional Misconduct that the Supreme Court Buried. It is the Record of DA Alvin Bragg. Part One." https://therunnymedereport.substack.com/p/this-is-the-professional-misconduct?r=3tdx2w
