You can defend a ham sandwich , if it’s innocent. I’m sure the politicians really are saying and doing these stupid selfish crimes. I can see with my own eyes.
Now we know Fox will lie to keep ratings and their stock options high. CNN is the same so it’s up to us to judge these gods on earth.

If you pretend they are better because they say they are Maga without watching what actually happens , you can indict a ham sandwich, but ham sandwiches don’t have sex with party girls. I believe that elite infidelity, especially by the men, is not a thing we should tolerate.
Adultery was and remains a threat to our society. it encourages a lack of responsibility, the very thing I want in a leader.

The Imminent Danger of Central Bank Digital Currencies

The Imminent Danger of Central Bank Digital Currencies
Posted Tuesday, April 4, 2023 | By AMAC, Parker Bono s

The world is rapidly approaching a dystopian state where societies embrace centralized digital economic systems. America is no exception to this disturbing fact. On the eve of a “digital dollar”, it is important to understand what the prospective system would look like, and it is even more important to ensure the system never comes to fruition.

Lately, one of the primary objectives of central banks around the globe has been to create their own version of a digital currency. These currencies are commonly referred to as central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs. A CBDC is issued directly by a nation’s central bank, meaning all citizen accounts are managed and monitored by a single institution. This poses obvious risks, with central banks having nearly boundless control over users of their CBDC. Upon issuing a CBDC, central banks also become in direct competition with other traditional banks, and they do so with an artificial advantage. This system contradicts free-market capitalism, the economic principle on which America was founded.

As it currently stands, at least a dozen nations have already developed and launched their own digital currency, with 18 additional countries in the pilot phase of their CBDC launches. At least 70 countries are either in the research or development phase of launching a digital currency, including the United States. China’s “digital yuan” is the most developed CBDC thus far and is utilized alongside China’s social credit system to impose totalitarian control over all elements of daily life in China. Recently, a so-called “digital euro” has been floated as a new CBDC to centralize digital financial t***sactions across Europe. In February, a group of six members from the European Central Bank’s executive board and 20 heads of European central banks met in Finland to discuss the implementation of a digital euro and how to obtain public acceptance for the new currency. This indicates that there will be a serious push for the creation of a “digital Euro” in the near future, which could expand the threat of central bank digital currencies to yet another region.

The dangers associated with central bank digital currencies are almost infinite. If adopted, the digital dollar would immediately become one of the largest mass surveillance tools in the world. To make matters worse, a digital dollar will undoubtedly result in accelerated inflation as large amounts of the new currency are introduced into the economy. Additionally, since CBDCs are programmable, governments are able to utilize the new system for their own desires. For example, restrictions can be programmed into CBDCs, making them only spendable at certain locations. CBDCs can also be engineered to include an expiration date, forcing individuals to either spend the currency within a given time or lose it. Furthermore, a digital dollar could be used to issue welfare payments directly to eligible Americans or even universal basic income in radical cities and states. Finally, CBDCs have been floated as a method to fulfill the fantasy of many climate alarmists to institute carbon rationing and taxation. Since all digital financial t***sactions made via the digital dollar network are monitored, it would be very easy to assess each individual’s carbon consumption within a given year and charge for what is deemed excessive carbon usage.

In America, the digital dollar is creeping closer to reality each day. Last year, the Federal Reserve released a document titled “Money and Payments: The U.S. Dollar in the Age of Digital T***sformation.” The paper outlined a roadmap for the Federal Reserve to release a digital dollar CBDC. Just two months later, Biden signed Executive Order 14067. The order directed the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury to officially explore the development of a CBDC. In November, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York launched a 12-week pilot program for a digital dollar. Participants in the program included Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Mastercard. On March 1st, the U.S. Treasury announced that they were developing the technology for a digital dollar following Biden’s executive action. According to Nellie Yiang, the undersecretary for domestic finance, “We are engaging in the technological development of a CBDC so that we would be able to move forward rapidly if a CBDC were determined to be in the national interest.” In the next step towards a digital dollar, the Federal Reserve recently announced a July launch date for their new “FedNow” payment service. The FedNow instant payment processing system is aiming to be the foundation of digital t***sactions in America. This type of government-sponsored instant payment processing system has shown to be a prelude to central bank digital currencies in other nations, such as India and Nigeria.

For a CBDC to be issued in America, congressional approval is required. Thankfully, numerous representatives and senators have pushed back against a digital dollar. Last month, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act (H.R. 1122). The legislation prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. Specifically, the act states “a Federal Reserve Bank may not offer products or services directly to an individual, maintain an account on behalf of an individual, or issue a central bank digital currency directly to an individual.” The act is currently co-sponsored by over a dozen other Republican representatives. A companion bill was unveiled by Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz on March 21st, which would also block the creation of a digital dollar. To quote Senator Cruz, “The federal government has no authority to unilaterally establish a central bank currency.” Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, a co-sponsor of Cruz’s legislation, went even further by proclaiming, “The American people ought to be able to spend their money how they choose without the possibility that every t***saction could be tracked by the government. Policy this impactful should be made by Congress, not government bureaucrats, and our bill would ensure that no one is snooping on the finances of hard-working Americans. Every American deserves that peace of mind.”

CBDCs are moving beyond the scope of just the federal government. Legislation is rapidly accelerating ahead in states across the country to assist in the implementation of a CBDC. The objective of these various bills is to recognize CBDCs as money through amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which is a set of laws regarding commerce that has been adopted in all 50 states. States where UCC amendments in favor of a digital dollar are moving towards passing include Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia.

Only a select group of elected state officials have been willing to stand against these dangerous proposals. In South Dakota, Republican Governor Kristi Noem vetoed H.B. 1193 on March 9th. The bill would have amended the UCC to officially recognize CBDCs as money. According to Governor Noem, “As we started reading through it, we saw the section of the bill that changed the definition of currency. And essentially what it did was pave the way for a government-led CBDC. So for me, it very clearly was a threat to our freedom…We’ve got the same language coming to over 20 other states. I believe it’s to pave a way for the federal government to control our currency, and thus control people. It should be alarming to people, and it’s being sold as a UCC guidelines update”.

Furthermore, the Republican-led Oklahoma House of Representatives is taking legislative action to protect Oklahomans from CBDCs. If passed, H.B. 1633 requires physical businesses and government agencies to accept cash as payment. The act also prohibits establishments from mandating use of a credit card or central bank digital currency.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been one of the most vocal elected officials in opposition to a CBDC. On March 20th, Governor DeSantis announced legislation that blocks the adoption of a CBDC in Florida. Rather than amending the UCC to encourage the use of a CBDC, DeSantis is aiming to change the UCC to prohibit a digital dollar from being recognized as money within Florida. To quote DeSantis, “The Biden administration’s efforts to inject a centralized bank digital currency is about surveillance and control. Today’s announcement will protect Florida consumers and businesses from the reckless adoption of a centralized digital dollar, which will stifle innovation and promote government-sanctioned surveillance.”

Americans may not be able to dictate the economic policies of other countries, but they should be able to do so in their own nation. With that being said, a Federal Reserve-issued CBDC has clearly become an imminent domestic threat. In order to protect America and the dollar, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act must be passed while Americans also strongly reject any local efforts to facilitate a digital dollar.

300, this is good work. It’s too bad it’s complicated but the gist is the corporate money industry will be able to require all but black market t***sactions to be electronic. They also can control the money and turn it off when they want to.
This is supposed to control corruption and crime, but since these activities are sponsored by the corporate world, you can bet it will only help them to steal more from us.

With Trump Indictment, Revisit 20 Times L*****ts Melted Down Over ‘Lock Her Up’ Hillary Gibe
BY: ELLE PURNELL
APRIL 01, 2023
6 MIN READ

Trump, who was indicted Thursday, never did throw Hillary in jail, likely because he understood what the optics would do to the country.

With the indictment of former President Donald Trump, the U.S. has entered the “era of police-state politics,” as The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland put it Friday morning. The prosecution and expected arrest of a former president — and likely p**********l challenger — is a serious thing, made all the more outrageous by the nakedly political nature of New York D.A. Alvin Bragg’s mission. Bragg appears to be ginning up a criminal probe out of a possible campaign finance issue that federal prosecutors had already declined to pursue.

While the alliance of media and Democrat operatives who have been on a mission to bring Trump down since before the 2016 e******n rejoice over the unprecedented move, it’s worth revisiting the myriad times that their ilk decried Trump’s 2016 campaign pledge to have his attorney general “get a special prosecutor to look into” Hillary Clinton’s malfeasance, and subsequent chants of “Lock her up!” at campaign rallies.

Here are just 20 examples.

“Not a healthy sign in a democracy when the case against your opponent is that she should be imprisoned,” worried Ryan Lizza, then of The New Yorker, in 2016.

In a tweet about the “lock her up” chant, then-Politico writer Julia Ioffe asked, “Since when do Americans advocate jailing political opponents?”

“In a democracy, you can’t threaten to jail your opponents,” said former President Barack Obama in 2016. “We have fought against those kinds of things.”

“Trump threatened to jail Clinton if elected. These countries might do the same,” headlined a CNN piece comparing Trump’s comment to “authoritarian regimes.” The article further quoted CNN’s Dana Bash saying “what makes this country different from countries with dictators in Africa or Stalin or Hitler or any of those countries with dictators and totalitarian leaders is when they took over, they put their opponents in jail.”

“A line was crossed that I don’t know has been crossed in my lifetime, maybe ever, he threatened to jail his opponent!” CNN’s Van Jones said, calling Trump’s comments a “new low in American democracy.”

“Do you realize what would happen though if another country’s e******n — we would criticize, our State Department would say ‘that’s not a democratic e******n,’” argued MSNBC’s Chuck Todd.

“Trump’s threat to imprison his political opponent is a threat to imprison ALL his opponents -and lethal to democracy,” warned GQ’s Keith Olbermann, comparing Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid called the “Lock her up” chant “peak authoritarianism,” opining that “countries that lock up whoever dared to run against the autocrat are the kinds we used to send e******n monitors to.”

The New York Times ran a piece quoting a top Democrat lawyer saying it would “be mimicking the tin-pot dictators of historical disgrace” for the Trump administration to prosecute Clinton.

“Threat to Jail Clinton Smacks of ‘Tin-Pot Dictators,’ Experts Say,” ran another New York Times headline, quoting another “expert” who threw around the “tin-pot dictator” phrase.

“In America, we don’t send our political opponents to jail,” tweeted an official Democratic National Committee Twitter account.

Former ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul tweeted, “Dictatorships lock up the opposition, not democracies.”

“The zeal to not only beat but imprison one’s opponents has never been the basis for a p**********l campaign,” posted now-Washington Post writer Jen Rubin.

“In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents,” former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder wrote. (Yes, the same Eric Holder who spied on a Fox News journalist, told another journalist to “shut the h-ll up,” and was eventually held in contempt of Congress, was worried about the “abuse” of “the power of the office.)

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour told former FBI Director James Comey that “lock her up” was “dangerous potentially, that it could’ve created violence, that it’s kind of h**e speech.”

“Trump said America has turned into a 3rd world country. Threatening to jail political opponents would qualify,” tweeted James Pethokoukis, now a CNBC contributor.

Former Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer remarked, “Putin and dictators jail their opponents.”

“When Donald Trump threatened to put Hillary Clinton in jail, he provided the American public with an insight into how the world’s autocrats get rid of their opponents,” wrote Masha Gessen in The New Yorker.

“[I]n America, we defeat e******n opponents, we don’t jail them!” tweeted The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof. (Yesterday, Kristof published a piece in the Times titled “I Worry About a Failed Prosecution of Trump, but I Worry More About No Prosecution,” in case you’re wondering whether he still feels that way.)

It’s worth noting, of course, that Trump never did throw Hillary in jail, quite likely because he understood what the optics would do to the country. Clinton lies to this day about those top secret emails sent from her private server, and the Justice Department let her team get away with destroying evidence with BleachBit and hammers — Comey euphemistically told Congress that they “cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.” The Federal E******n Commission slapped her wrist with a puny fine for personally approving the destructive Trump-Russia h**x, in which the Clinton campaign’s law firm hired an investigative firm that, in turn, commissioned the Steele dossier, which wreaked havoc on American politics for years and rightly destroyed many Americans’ trust in the media and intelligence agencies. Next to that, the alleged campaign finance violations for which Trump has presumably been indicted pale.

My colleague Mollie Hemingway’s comments in 2016 about the “Lock her up!” chants remain equally prescient today. “It is true that mobs shouldn’t cry out for imprisonment, particularly before a trial,” she wrote. “But it’s also true that mobs shouldn’t be forced to cry out for justice because their institutions are doing such a horrible job of applying law fairly.”

The institutions have only gotten more horrible at that job. The two-tiered justice system reaches from the disparate treatment of p**********l candidates to the Justice Department’s decision to normalize surprise raids on the homes of pro-life pastors while downplaying acts of domestic terrorism against pregnancy clinics.

In that 2016 piece, Hemingway lamented the country’s descent “into one ruled by men, instead of one ruled by laws that apply to everyone, from the most powerful and wealthy to most poverty-stricken and oppressed.” Her words could have been written today and are just as sobering. If you don’t believe them, go see how many of the people who decried Trump’s words as the “death of democracy” are similarly disturbed about the exploitation of the justice system against the former president.[/quote]

This indictment was returned by 24 people who live and work where the crimes occurred. You are not waiting to see why they think Trump broke the law. You know better.
I’m shocked he has avoided jail for stealing national secrets, this seems minor. This office in Manhattan indicted over 100 other business owners for this exact offense last year, but without your political input, and they got justice, and so should he. I don’t hear one agonized voice (exceptDJT) claiming he is innocent.

Who cares why lying Cohen perjured himself regarding the NDA payments to the porn star. His 5 charges were for his own serious and stupid tax evasion, 1 charge of perjury to a financial institution, and 2 campaign contribution violations you can look it up.

The fec and the doj were instructed not to prosecute by bill Barr. We have his texts to prove that. I’m not going to post anything since you could read it by yourself, but tell me he is innocent, that he did not pay these two women .

A Few FACTS About The Trump Indictment That Brainless L*****ts Ignore.

Smedley_buzk**l wrote:

These are some LEGAL FACTS about Trump's nothing burger indictment. Left Wingers who are peeing their panties with anticipation should change their Depends and read them.

From DeRoy Murdock......

First, hush money is no crime, unless someone gets paid to stay silent among police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, or judges. That is obstruction of justice.

Trump would be a criminal had he instructed his then-attorney Michael Cohen to wire $130,000 to Stephanie Clifford (nom de porn Stormy Daniels) to clam up if law enforcement asked about the adulterous affair that she alleges, and Trump denies.

Alas for Bragg, Trump reputedly paid Daniels not to talk with journalists. This is perfectly legal. Anyone who has signed a nondisclosure agreement (as Daniels did) understands this.

So, no crime undergirds Bragg’s fetish.

Second, the Federal E******n Commission failed to judge any of this a crime. The FEC convened on Feb. 23, 2021. Its four v****g members—two appointed by Democrats and two by Republicans—deadlocked. They could have criminalized this scenario, but they didn’t.

Third, the statutes of limitations have lapsed on all but one charge against Trump. The FEC’s First General Counsel Report specified on Dec. 7, 2020, that Trump faced three matters under review: The deadline for prosecution on MURs 7313 and 7319 was “Oct. 27, 2021 (earliest) – Dec. 8, 2021 (latest).”

MUR 7379’s limitation is “October 26, 2021 (earliest) – April 17, 2023 (latest).” While the expiration date on this accusation remains ahead (barely), Bragg has a huge problem. On Page 6 of its report, the FEC’s general counsel wrote: “ … we recommend that the Commission dismiss the allegation that Cohen, Trump, and the Trump Committee violated 52 U.S.C. § 30114(b) by converting campaign funds to personal use.”

Oops.

Fourth, with two-year, misdemeanor statutes of limitations hindering him, Bragg reportedly wants to file felony charges against Trump. These carry five-year deadlines and threaten stiffer penalties.

However, to make this a federal felony case (puzzling work for a local prosecutor), the alleged violation (filing false campaign-finance reports) must be tied to a second, separate underlying crime. Since the FEC failed to rule any of this criminal, Bragg’s felony indictment would be a hot air balloon anchored to absolutely nothing.

Fifth, beyond the FEC, Gotham’s U.S. attorney and Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., both declined to prosecute Trump for hush money.

For his part, “Bragg appeared not to be focused on the case,” The Washington Post reported soon after he took office in January 2022. “Bragg didn’t seem keenly interested.”

That Feb. 23, Bragg’s Trump-related “inactivity,” as the Post described it, triggered the resignations of his deputies, Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz.

“I believe that your decision not to prosecute Donald Trump now, and on the existing record, is misguided and completely contrary to the public interest,” Pomerantz wrote Bragg as he quit. Pomerantz described the case against Trump as “suspended indefinitely.”

Pomerantz’s new book “People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account” bashes Bragg’s decision. This pressure and relentless Democratic demands to “get Trump” apparently pushed Bragg to spurn the law and instead fashion fresh partisan gifts for his fellow l*****ts.

Armed with these facts, Trump’s attorneys should file a motion to dismiss and then watch Bragg’s untethered contraption go up, up, and away.

It should be noted that Bragg's predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr is not only a Democrat but the son of President Jimmy Carter's Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance Sr. He refused to prosecute because there was nothing there.
George Soros' little fat toad can have his "Big Frog In A Little Puddle" dog and pony show. It will be thrown out of court as baseless.

Such incredible gyrations to excuse a rich tax evading adulterer his sins. No one doubts that he did all of this.
Funny that Bill Barr was ok convicting Cohen of this obvious crime. but declined to charge the actual perpetrator, unless you think Cohen screwed the girl himself. Then it was because he was president. Now it’s because he used to be the president. Is he above the law?? Are all the corrupt rich politicians above the law.
Where is the cut off financially? I’m tired of paying taxes, so let’s make it fair , give me back my 2.5 million paid in over this long lifetime. Let’s let Trump pick up some of that. Your “base “ are cowards, unable to look in the mirror and say,” we have been had, worse than a porn star”.
