The Sicilian Message . . . Meant for Us, by Eric Peters

If they can railroad Trump, they can railroad anyone. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:

Will Trump become even stronger now that he’s been created a “felon” – 34 times! – by a “court” (and jury) that everyone understands was convened to convict him? That is the belief asserted by Devolutionists – the people who believe that this is all a show and part of an elaborate operation to expose the corruption of the system so that it can be un-corrupted.

Of course, such a thing has never before happened in the history of government-gone-bad (which of course is all governments, which are necessarily bad; the difference being a matter of degree only). Once government goes really bad – as the one that controls this country manifestly has – there is but one way to un-corrupt it and that is to rid ourselves of it.
