In terms of crime and politics that may be true. What they lack is any sense of economic reality. “Modern Monetary Theory” is insane. The education system is crazy. VDH compares the present course to Byzantium. I think South Africa is a better comparison.

The left is betting they will be able to control the results, though.

They know they will be able to control the results. They control the DoJ, which can be used to control any Republican DA anywhere who tries to do what Bragg did.

This continuous trope, that things will come back to bite the Democrats on the ass, is foolishness. Give them the credit that they actually know what it is they are doing.

Sounds like a variant on P.J. O’Rourke’s “Room full of horseshit” concept of government:

They collect an entire room full of horse shit, from floor to ceiling, and call it a “legislative bill”. Then they bring it out for public consideration, and go,
Look! Look!! A room full of horseshit!! And you just know — you just **know**!! — that with that much horseshit, there’s just GOT to be a pony in there!!

(something like that. I am quoting from memory)

Yes, breaking the long-standing traditions and agreements that held things in check means that chaos might ensue. The left is betting they will be able to control the results, though.

Here is a good take on what is coming by Wretchard (Belmont Club):

wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat • Apr 1 Once you break the precedent and dash the old political paradigm to pieces you really can’t stop short of establishing a new one. There is no pausing in the middle because there is no middle. This is the iron curse
of every revolution.

wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat • Apr 1 Breaking symmetry can lead to collapse when it disrupts an equilibrium necessary for the stability and functionality of a system. Many complex systems rely on a certain level of balance and feedback to maintain
stability.

wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat • Apr 1 Disrupting complex systems can lead to unforeseen consequences because they are typically composed of many interdependent parts that interact in nonlinear ways, and even small changes in one part of the
system can have far-reaching effects.
“What have we done?”

“Beria was fatally shot through the forehead by General Batitsky” but it didn’t say if it was with a 7.62 Tokarev or something else.

A new book by a former New York City prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, says:
“After scouring Trump’s life and business, Pomerantz writes that prosecutors agreed on a case involving allegations that Trump falsified records by inflating the value of assets on financial statements he provided lenders.”

It is to laugh. Who does Trump borrow money from? Banks and other lending institutions.

How much money would he borrow? Probably millions of dollars.

Do lenders do their due diligence when lending that kind of money? Why yes, yes they do.

If Trump overvalued his properties on loan applications, the banks would do their own appraisals. If they don’t, they are risking a lot of money.

As to smearing Trump with a “low moral turpitude” label. We can look at the history of recent American Presidents to understand that Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy LBJ, and Clinton all had some trysts or worse in their lives. Presidents are all too human. It’s not good, but it’s not unknown.

Twenty million dollar$ is what it cost the city of New York to stage this arraignment. Surely the taxpayer’s money could better be spent on actually prosecuting criminals.

Show trial, Soviet style.
