"Like many people, I assumed every impeachment, every indictment, every criminal count would be the end of him." — Robert B. Reich, celebrated Trump hunter, career summation.

And just like that — snap ! — the news about the Colorado Supreme Court's droll action against candidate DJ Trump vanished from the front page (or top screens) of
The New York Times. Do you know why? I'll tell you: Because
the political Left has finally managed to embarrass itself with a "lawfare" gambit so nakedly fatuous that it exposes the faction's drive to destroy the election process, and with it our country.This is what you get from a regime that faked its way to power and now must strain to cover up its long train of crimes, abuses, and effronteries to common sense, while
running out of tricks to keep fooling even its own deranged followers. Somehow, the act of kicking a leading candidate off the ballot has finally registered as inconsistent with "defending our democracy."
Of course, the reckless abuse of law — "lawfare" — proceeds from the Left's disrespect for boundaries and limits, which is exactly what law in principle concerns itself with. And from there it's a quick leap into totalizing bad faith, the operating system for government under an imposter president, "Joe Biden." Suddenly, mere days before Christmas, when the people want to be preoccupied with things other than politics, events merge explosively to shape the fate of the nation.
In a sane world, the US Supreme Court would not just summarily strike down the Colorado ruling, but would issue a career-ending rebuke to the brain-damaged state justices who managed to not learn a basic principle of due process:
innocent until proven guilty — that to brand someone a criminal, there must be a record of indictment and conviction for a particular crime, and that, in the case of Mr. Trump, a politically-motived fairy tale about an "insurrection" doesn't cut it.
Comment: Had this exhibitionist debauchery not sought, and received, the publicity that it did, and instead opted to get on with it behind closed doors, it's likely that it would not have been an issue. However, Russia's government is working to shield its culture from the onslaught of perverse and insidious propaganda from the West, that seeks to corrupt Russian society in the way it has done to its own, and so Moscow has little choice but to respond.
Contrast this with the recent scandal of the US senate staffer making a gay sex tape in the Senate building, or the endless scandals of perversion and sexual assault coming out of the US: Tory deputy chief whip resigns after 'drunkenly groping two men', the latest scandal to dog UK's parliament
