The one thing we all used to agree on as Americans, was that political disagreements weren't "crimes." I'm truly dismayed that some seem to either not care or even support what the establishment is doing today using the legal system as a Stalinesque weapon against political opponents. Today's victim is Peter Navarro, a few days ago it was Enrique Tarrio, everyday its sone political persecution. In Florida and Maine, politically incorrect speech is now criminalized. Canceling people wasn't enough apparently.
Prison isn't a joke. Its not supposed to be used as a weapon to selectively take out or punish political opponents or those with "wrong think." This is so insane. How does anyone support this? And how do we come back from this as a country?
Itâs never been about âusing the legal system as a weaponâ the âlegal systemâ in America, from the beginning, has always served and protected the rich and powerful.

I guess the question is whether political opponents are commiting crimes or whether itâs just an inquisition to get them. What Trump did was out and out sedition. Now if we were talking about a 5 year special council investigation that ended by filing charges that the President lied about a consensual relationship with an intern. That would be hard to justify. Or maybe you have a congressional committee trying to interject itself into an investigation of a politicianâs troubled sons tax issues. That would be improper.
Navarro refused to comply with a subpoena. He had a trial and he was convicted. Trump's cronies think they're above the law but they are finding out they are not special.
Tarrio led a violent attack on the US Capitol. He received a trial and was found guilty. Now he has to spend years in prison for his crimes.
Stalinesque is what we are seeing. Lavrentiy Beria was the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief for Stalin. His was famous (infamous?) for saying, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime" is exactly what we are seeing today.
Hillary ignored a subpoena for her digital devices and emails; digital devices were smashed and email server was scrubbed with BleachBit. never held accountable.
Eric Holder was subpoenaed for information on Fast & Furious, Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry, was killed with one of those weapons. Never held accountable
The Jan 6 Commission has illegally destroyed terabytes of data they collected. Has not yet been held accountable.
Hunter Biden's criminal activity has taken so long and slow-walked by the DOJ that statutes of limitation are kicking in.
BLM rioters and murders walk the streets today with no repercussions, not to mention the grift BLM pulled to suck in 100s of millions of Dollars they won't account for today, spent on homes and cars, and no one in the DOJ cares.
In 2013 the Obama Administrations admitted that the IRS purposely targeted Conservative non-profits applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes. IRS Lois Lerner Director of the Exempt Organizations Unit was never held accountable, and lives on a fat taxpayer pension.
I've said this before, watch the trailer on YouTube for "Bulworth" - 2 minutes and it says exactly who politicians listen to and support.
Merriam-Webster definition for Fascism: "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." This is exactly what the Dems/Left is doing today. If you can't see this, "First they came for x and I did not speak out. Next, they came for me." The Left will devour anyone to maintain power and control.
So yes, Dave_Anderson is spot on. If you can't see this at some point "They will come for you."
@mogul: bullshit. Beria executed 10's of thousands of people. Your little crybaby wannabe insurrectionists get subpoenaed and walk out the same day, and your cry "Stalin! Gulags! Police state!". There's a difference between a police state, and state that HAS police. But wait you say... think of the terabytes DESTROYED! Oh the horror!
I'm sure Dave has some spare tinfoil you can borrow.

last commentCongress has the power to subpoena.
You're not allowed to overturn free and fair elections by force.
Gee Dave, I always thought you were a Russian bot. You mean no one is paying you to post all this weird pro-Russian crap on a strip club website?
