While you are all paying attention to the Trump indictment ..........
Congress is busy taking our rights away.....
Bokhari: With RESTRICT Act, the Deep State Seeks to Beat China by Becoming China
The RESTRICT Act allows the federal government to define new countries and regimes as “foreign adversaries,” and then restrict almost all online activities by any U.S. citizens to services even “indirectly” controlled by entities “subject to the jurisdiction” of that foreign adversary.
If you even attempt to “circumvent” the controls (by using a VPN to mask your IP address, for example) you will face extraordinarily draconian punishments.
In fact, even if you plan to use a VPN, you’ll face those penalties. The bill prohibits “potential future transactions” too — whatever that means.
What are the penalties that American citizens could face? Here is a short list:
a fine of up to $250,000, imposed by the federal government
a criminal penalty of up to $1 million
up to 20 years in jail
And then there’s asset seizure: bill allows the feds to seize and access a laundry list of devices and services of American citizens.
These include hardware devices like phones and computers, access points to the internet including cable and wireless, “e-commerce technology and services, including any electronic techniques for accomplishing business transactions” (a definition sufficiently broad to include every cryptocurrency), and even “quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography,” “advanced robotics,” and “biotechnology.”
On top of all that, the bill grants the government immunity from public oversight, restricting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to the enforcement of the bill.
The RESTRICT Act is essentially an American version of the Chinese “Great Firewall,” which cuts its citizens off from a wide swathe of the world wide web.
But even in China, where numerous apps are banned, VPN does not automatically lead to imprisonment, with large numbers of Chinese citizens using VPNs to access popular apps and video games — and largely getting away with it.
The RESTRICT Act may go further than the Chinese firewall, in that its authoritarian penalties apply to apps and services “designed or intended to evade or circumvent the application of this act.”
So, simply possessing the capability to evade the provisions of the Act — a capability that all VPNs have — could put you in the government’s firing line.
Once again, Americans have been duped. For well over a year, we have been bombarded with news stories about the dangers of TikTok.
We have been told it contributes to teen suicides and mental health issues, even though the same charges can be (and have been) levelled at Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.
We have been told that it spies on us and hoovers up our data, sharing it with governments, even though Google and Facebook behave in exactly the same way.
Most importantly, though, we were told that it is a threat to the rights of Americans, a mechanism for the Chinese government to take away their privacy and the rights.
However valid these concerns, in the context of the monstrously authoritarian RESTRICT Act, they take on the appearance of a Trojan Horse. Today, the most pressing danger to Americans’ rights and the freedom of the internet comes not from Beijing, but from Washington D.C.

But in Blue New York State, asking the NAZI JUSTICE SYSTEM to act with EQUAL APPLICATION OF THE LAW is a stretch. It will end up going to the SCOTUS for any kind of justice.
Having this case drag out is what the dems really want going into 2024. They know it's BS but their hatred of Trump is more important to them.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to invert the U.S. justice system in a statement Thursday as she was reacting to news that a Manhattan grand jury had voted to indict former President Donald Trump.Pelosi, the former House speaker, placed the burden of proof in legal cases on defendants, saying that “everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence” and that the justice system “grants [Trump] that right.”“The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law,” Pelosi wrote on social media. “No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”Jantje_Smit » 31 Mar 2023, 8:45 am » wrote: ↑ Damn, look at that tweet at the end... ok, she's probably drunk, but still....

Prove them wrong, they just laugh and defy us,
They keep getting their way,
Call them out? And they shout "Media bias!"

To muck out any stable,
For I am a genius at ****!"

No context to go along with this????

found some context
NOTE: The limerick above won the fifth annual "Bring your Limericks to Limerick" contest, sponsored by the Limerick Writers' Centre. We found the winner's name ironic, since Trump's mother was a MacLeod from Scotland's Outer Hebrides!

By November of 2024, I don't think Trump will have any chance of winning.
He was a horrible, incompetent bungling fool, smug about his clever way to get paid to go on thousand mile junkets to play golf.
His handling of the Covid 19 crisis was a disaster. He made Americans hate one another.
It would be a good thing for him to be in prison by November 2024.
It we are lucky, the fatbastard will die there.
Will there be a Trump Library?
Not bloody likely!

I doubt it will get drug out. I expect they will demand a "speedy trial" and hit the court with MULTIPLE motions to dismiss. AND if it ends up going to trial, you can expect any trial to be sent to a different venue. No way any "fair" trial can be held in Manhattan.roadkill » 31 Mar 2023, 8:20 am » wrote: ↑ Having this case drag out is what the dems really want going into 2024.

Liberals are spoiled children, miserable, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic & useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats ~O'Rourke
The Democratic Party seems intransigent on their position of keeping the party ‘woke,’ detached, exclusionary, and totally insane.
