This reaction rundown has been a long time coming. A very long time, so relish this unique moment of butthurt, defiance, anger, outrage, impotence, and everything in between from the fanboys.
“Go ahead. He still has my vote” – The current top comment on Breitbart’s Trump indictment article and, uh yeah, no shit. Was that ever going to be in question from a fucking Breitbart reader?
“Am I the only person that’s wondering how is this different from Bill Clinton paying $850K for what is supposedly the same thing? Both were trying to avoid a trial for something they denied doing. $850,000 in 1999 would have been worth $1,224,525.51 in 2016 due to inflation. Im wondering where the Clinton’s $850,000 might have come from?” – The current top comment on the Fox News article. Love how he at least nods to “Republican economic messaging” by throwing inflation in the mix here. Anyway, Clinton paid that to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit from Paula Jones. It was public, legal, and under the auspices of a court. It wasn’t paid for by taxpayers or campaign donors.
“Why is it so hard for some people, even here, to realize the Democrats cheated their way into defeating Trump in 2020? They have no morals from leadership down to their diehard voters (which don’t number 81 million)” – Top comment on marginally normal-ish site PowerLine Blog’s article.
“The Marxist Democrat party has declared war on America” – Top comment, PJ Media.
We the People see right through this. Bragg is a political pawn in a game he’s too stupid to comprehend. He’s a peon, a fat zero.
The anti-American left is going to fuck around and find out.
In the end…Trump wins.

“DEEP BREATHS ANONS! We knew this move was coming. The White Hats have been planning for this happening for some time. They set the ultimate trap, and the rabid Democrats took the bait hook, line, and sinker! A precedent was set today. The Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, and Bidens are next! PANIC IN DC!” – One of the top posts on the GreatAwakening.win QAnon fan site.
“Any official or officer that aids in this injustice is just as guilty of treason as Bragg and his pals. Saying its your job doesnt cut it. If you have even a modicum of integrity you will quit on the spot. You are aiding the people who are screwing you, as officers of the law, and every single person on this planet. It is that wide in implication” – Top comment on the Townhall.com article “Report: Every NYPD Cop Must Report to Work in Uniform on Friday Following Trump Indictment.”
This will be the biggest political backfire in history.

“So statute of limitations (2 years for a misdemeanor and 5 years for a felony) do NOT apply here? Oh yeah… it’s OVERRIDDEN by TDS” – Top comment on OAN’s article by another instant legal expert.
“I literally just ran into Donald Trump Jr having lunch w his kids last weekend. I wanted to reach out and shake his hand, give him a check, something. But I didnt want to bother him while he was likely enjoying a private moment, so I just flashed a thumbs up. Our country needs fighters like this” – The top comment on the Gateway Pundit article about Don Jr’s reaction to the charges. Wow.
Outrageous.

This day’s just a little bittersweet too, as it’s been a year exactly since The Hill shut down their Disqus comments, depriving us of entertainment. But ultimately it’s really their loss. Sucks for them.
