It began in 2015 when Donald and Melania Trump came down the escalator in New York City's Trump Tower, and launched their quest for the American presidency. And it has never stopped: reportedly Donald Trump has just been been indicted.[2] Why would any sane and successful American enter politics and undergo nonstop attacks like this? The answer is they wouldn't.
I began as a Democrat in a devoutly-Republican family, which revered Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. I passed up the chance to return to a prestigious law firm in San Francisco after my two-year stint with the Army ended. Instead, I went to work in the U.S. Senate because I loved my country.
When I left Capitol Hill for the private practice of law, I became an Independent because I had seen too much.[3] I concluded that the Democrats were "evil" but smart, while the Republicans were "Neanderthals" and dumb. The indictment of Donald Trump in New York City by a vicious Democrat prosecutor, Alvin Bragg—with possibly additional indictments to come, at the behest of other Democrats—is sickening . . . and un-American.
Before the last election, the predominantly-Leftist media nationally suppressed stories about Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop, and nonstop debauchery and criminality, involving his father and other family members. It is likely that the election results were skewed. And the Bidens and their co-conspirators has been destroying America ever since.
Yes, totally-despicable Democrats will cheer today's indictment nationally—and Trump enemies globally will applaud—but no American wins or should rejoice. Russia's killer Vladimir Putin and China's dictator Xi Jinping just met in Moscow; and for all intents and purposes, they are dividing the world ahead. And we are poised on the edge of an economic and military abyss: World War III.[4]
Joe Biden is essentially "brain dead," or certainly not capable of being our President.[5] Willie Brown's former ho Kamala Harris is standing in the wings waiting for him to croak. Our country is a mess, to put it mildly; and the future for our children and grandchildren is bleak at best. We have a legal system that is corrupt[6]; illegal aliens, criminals and drugs are flowing across our borders; mass killings are occurring with regularity; we are just emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic's lockdowns and disruptions; and increasing numbers of Americans have lost hope, and are pessimistic about our country's future.[7]

I'm confused. Trump committed the crime, correct? No one really disputes the whole Stormy Daniels affair. And If he's guilty, shouldn't he be charged? Or are former presidents above the law? I don't personally care if he had sex with a porn star while married and paid her off, but if he broke the law and committed fraud to do so, he should be held accountable like any one else.
Thank you for your comments.
First, it is not a crime in New York State or anywhere else in the United States - that I am aware of - to have an affair or commit adultery.
Second, both Trump and Stormy Daniels have denied that the affair ever took place. She denied it in writing.
Third, this latest Trump "witch hunt" follows the Democrats' efforts to destroy him since 2015, when his quest for the presidency began.
Fourth, Alvin Bragg has abused the legal process, and should be prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned.
