‘Not for nothing did Trump’s website crash: working people are donating in outrage. DJT’s campaign raised $34.8 million within hours,and his polling went up by six points, as per a snap survey.‘

Trump lost. So has America.
Not that you would know it from most of yesterday’s news coverage, so-called reporters and journalists practically levitating over 34 guilty verdicts in a trial that was nothing but a political hit job.
You can dislike Donald Trump, as I and so many others do, and still find yourself outraged.
This case — which the feds declined to prosecute — was falsely, flimsily predicated on ‘election interference’.
Want to talk election interference? How about keeping the GOP nominee for president off the campaign trail for nearly two months?
Or scheduling his sentencing just four days before the Republican convention?
To all the progressives who are gloating and cheering — well, live it up now, because you’ve probably just handed Trump another four years.

Apparently not one juror could look Trump in the face as the ‘guilty’ verdicts were read out, instead looking away or at the floor.
They knew what they had done.
But these jurors, many well-educated, simply could not bear returning to their families, jobs and polite society in deep-blue New York City without convicting Donald J. Trump.
‘Everybody knows what happened here,’ Trump said. ‘We didn’t do a thing wrong. I’m a very innocent man. And it’s okay. I’m fighting for our country, I’m fighting for our Constitution… We’ll keep fighting. We’ll fight till the end, and we’ll win’.
But the mainstream media was raring and ready to go, presenting this verdict as a fait accompli, the end of Trump — as if it won’t be overturned on appeal, as if his conviction won’t be vacated.
The whole trial was a farce, a sideshow, and utterly unbefitting of the world’s last great superpower.
The charges were brought by Alvin Bragg, a feckless district attorney responsible for soft-on-crime policies that are destroying this once-great metropolis.
A two-time convicted felon set a fellow subway rider on fire last week — his second attack this year, the first chasing three men with a lit object at a Chelsea subway station.
Yet this guy was roaming the streets rather than behind bars.
Turns out DA Bragg can get a conviction when he really sets his mind to it.
And here was the liberal media celebrating him as a hero!
The sanctimonious Lawrence O’Donnell, on MSNBC, compared this lazy sloth of a DA to David against Goliath, a humble man who grew up in Harlem’s ‘Strivers’ Row’.
Bragg took his victory lap with a presser, Biden functionaries smirking in the background, outrageously claiming that this verdict was the result of ‘following the facts and the law, and doing so without fear or favor’.
Please! This entire trial was brought with ‘favor’ — to Biden and the Dems, against Trump and MAGA.

Not politically motivated?
Explain Biden sending one of his own comms guys down to the courthouse with Robert De Niro on Wednesday, the actor injecting himself into the face-painting, boob-flashing crowd with a speech no one asked for, calling Trump a ‘loser’ and a ‘clown’.
The lack of self-awareness is truly astounding.
After the verdict, The New Yorker magazine immediately unveiled its next cover, Trump with tiny hands getting cuffed.
Rachel Maddow had her all-star panel ready to go, everyone brimming with elation, self-satisfaction, congratulating each other for offering totally objective coverage before welcoming the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen.
For theater of the absurd, this was unbeatable. Maddow treated this cheap suit, with his inelegant speaking voice and crude thought processes, as if he were a top mind, a potentate — his ‘saga Shakespearean’, she told us.
This is the same woman who spent an hour of airtime rending her garments, and attempting to self-soothe, after the Mueller Report found no evidence of ‘Russian interference’ in the 2016 election.
Cohen is a convicted felon, an admitted liar and a thief who stole $30K from Trump while in his employ, and whose bitterness at not following Trump to the White House has been his animating force ever since.
But sure: let’s treat him like the Rosetta Stone.
Same for Stormy Daniels, the prosecution’s second most important witness, whose story conveniently changed on the stand.
No longer the spitfire porn-star she. No, Stormy was now some kind of a victim who ‘blacked out’ during what she called her mediocre, unprotected sex with Trump, accessorizing her tale of woe with unnecessarily prurient details like the alleged involvement of ‘spanking’.
Christmas morning for much of the media, otherwise clutching its proverbial pearls at the notion of suppressed stories.
Let’s talk about suppressed stories. Ashley Biden, in a legal filing weeks ago, admits that her diary is real — a diary containing the entries ‘Was I molested. I think so’ as well as ‘Showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).’
Aside from this publication, there has been a complete media blackout on Ashley’s diary.
‘Without fear or favor’? It’s all such self-serving garbage.

Hunter Biden’s trial, we’ve been told, is a political hatchet job too.
And Joe’s family, taking millions from China and other countries — what makes Biden think a President Trump won’t turn around and weaponize his DOJ against him?
A dangerous precedent has been set. If Biden were truly presidential, he’d have insisted that his justice department drop the case.
Instead, he took to Twitter immediately after the verdict and began panhandling.
‘I hate to ask…,’ he began. I’m sorry — when has a Biden ever hated to ask for money?
Biden is sorely mistaken if he thinks Trump’s conviction helps him win.
A devastating story in Politico this week reports that Democrats are in ‘full-blown freakout’ over Biden’s chances.
‘Donors ask me on an hourly basis about what I think,’ one Dem adviser said, adding that it’s ‘so much easier to show them [data] so, while they read it, I can pour a drink.’
Get ready to drown those sorrows, Dems.
When the first presidential debate takes place on June 27, the first question for Donald Trump will surely be: ‘As a now-convicted felon, how can you possibly hold the office of President of the United States?’
Liberal America still doesn’t get it. They have learned nothing from 2016. This verdict, and much of the media’s obvious glee and biased coverage, just got Trump re-elected.
And they’ll say they never saw it coming. ##
