Our banana republic is going bananas.
The formula:
- Use your henchmen to indict your opponent.
- Use the indictment as an excuse to search your opponent's private spaces, including his home and internet accounts.
- Desperately search for dirt to justify your indictment.
Y'all do realize that this is how you ruin a country, right?
As usual (sadly), it seems Elon Musk is one of the few men willing to stand against the regime.
Trump had thoughts:
You can think that Trump isn't perfect - even that he might have done something illegal! - without thinking it's justified to suspend our entire system of law and justice to destroy him in the name of "democracy" so that the current president and his pals can win the next election.
But we have so much Trump Derangement Syndrome that the masses seem to think there are no boundaries to getting rid of the man they see as Orange Hitler.
(Advice: This is how you get actual Hitler.)
More from Fox:
According to court documents, Smith's warrant was served with a nondisclosure order that prohibited Twitter from notifying anyone about the existence of the warrant. Twitter challenged the nondisclosure order, but was unsuccessful. The company did not hand over the requested materials while the litigation was ongoing.
Not only did they try to get access to Trump's account, but they tried to do it without American knowing! This happened in JANUARY.
"We're acting exactly like villains but it's okay because being evil to stop Trump is actually good."
That's the logic in play here.
Though Twitter eventually complied with the warrant, Trump's account, @realDonaldTrump, was not turned over to Smith's investigation until three days after a court-ordered deadline, the documents state.
In a 34-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Twitter's contention that the nondisclosure order violated the First Amendment and that the federal judge who issued the warrant — U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell — should have stopped it from being served until the dispute was resolved.
Right now, you can bet there is an army of blue-haired interns combing through every tweet and DM in Trump's account in the basement lair beneath Merrick Garland's office.
I have no respect for our government anymore.
None.
