T. Belman. Yes it has but it did so long before Trump was indicted.
Yesterday was doubtlessly among the darkest days in the history of the nation. It was the day that the inglorious tradition of using government agencies to target political opponents achieved another ignominious low in the United States of America.
President Donald Trump was formally processed and arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse on 34 charges related to allegedly ‘hush payments’ to former porn actor Stormy Daniels and another woman during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump pleaded ‘not guilty’ to all charges.
So far in history, this disgraceful tactic was restricted to third-world totalitarian regimes only.
The president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele summarized it well. Bukele wondered what the reaction there woyuld be to a similar occurrence in El Salvador and added that “it’ll be very hard for US Foreign Policy to use arguments such as “democracy” and “free and fair elections”, or try to condemn “political persecution” in other countries, from now on.”
The Democrats’ shady skullduggery for power has brought global shame to the US.
There was nothing to laugh or even smile about yesterday – rage and despair were probably the only emotions experienced by patriots yesterday.
The phrase ‘the moral high ground’ when applied to nations remains a mystery to me. Individuals can certainly be moral, but not nations; they are not people. Their political leaders, usually accomplished liars, can prate about occupying the moral high ground because they claim that their nations are democracies. They aren’t; it’s as simple as that.
The fact that a country allows its citizens to vote means nothing. Nor does the existence of bills of rights. Voting turn-out was very high in the U.S.S.R. and the 1936 Stalin constitution is a model on paper of a twentieth-century democratic creation, complete with full citizens’ rights. It, of course, meant nothing.
The United States is not a democracy; it was never intended to be one. The founders built a constitutional (sometimes) representative republic. What they had to say about democracy in their deliberations does not make for pleasant reading.
The United States, and the rest of the western world, does not occupy a moral high ground and has never done so. The fact that observers think that it or the other western nations have done so reflects more on their ignorance than on anything else. More reality, please.

Tks to the elitocracy, the US now part of the 3rd world.
So what?
And who is this, who is standing in judgment over us? If the US has lost the high moral ground, then all the rest of the world will precede her into hellfire.
