Today’s blacklisted Americans: Any lawyer who defended Trump
They’re coming for you next: Two lawyers — who did what any good lawyer should do when they accepted the job of defending Donald Trump during the recent Democratic Party impeachment show trial — have now found themselves subjected to harassment, death threats, and blacklisting with the loss of work.
First there is attorney Michael van der Leen. His house was vandalized with smashed windows and ugly slogans painted on the driveway after he spoke as defense attorney for Trump during the impeachment.
Because of the violence and threats, van der Leen has been forced to hire armed guards and move his wife and children to a secret location.
Equally egregious treatment has been handed out to Trump attorney David Schoen:
An attorney who represented President Donald Trump during the recent impeachment trial says a law school canceled a civil rights law course he was going to teach and he was suspended from a civil rights lawyer email discussion list.
“I was hoping to teach a civil rights course at a law school in the fall. We’ve been in talks about it, kind of planning it out. I wrote to them and I said, ‘I want you to know, I’m gonna be representing Donald Trump in the impeachment case. I don’t know if that impacts on your decision at all,’” David Schoen, one of the three attorneys who argued before the Senate, told The Epoch Times.
“And they said, you know, they appreciated my writing and, frankly, it would make some students and faculty uncomfortable, so I couldn’t do it.
There once was a time that the left in America trumpeted the importance of every American having the right to an attorney. Now, not so much. If you are accused of badness by the left, you are required to accept that accusation as true without a fight, and anyone who dares comes forward to defend you has joined you in that badness and must therefore be destroyed as well.
Or to put it another way, to the left you are no longer innocent until proven guilty. If they accuse you of something, you are automatically guilty, and no trial is needed. And anyone who disagrees is automatically guilty as well, and must be hounded and blackballed.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Pretty soon the only way a prominent conservative will get an attorney is if the attorney speaks against their own client, as during Soviet show trials. Their job will become persuading their client to plead guilty admit admit their evil deeds.
Democrats are in the process of trying to disenfranchise anyone who does not share their beliefs. This is fundamentally Un-American, and everyone had better start speaking up loudly against it, and demanding that Democrat public figures disavow it or be assumed to.be in support of it. Make them stand up to it, or own it!!
And deprive the democrats and Leftists of their new election fraud methods of cheating on steroids, mail in voting and vote harvesting:

Robert wrote: “to the left you are no longer innocent until proven guilty. If they accuse you of something, you are automatically guilty, and no trial is needed.”
How French.
“And anyone who disagrees is automatically guilty as well, and must be hounded and blackballed.”
That goes beyond the French. No wonder France is now so worried about the American tyranny in power.
Another Blacklisted American: Jodi Shaw at Smith College
For those of you who haven’t heard of what happened to Jodi Shaw at Smith College, please read Jim Kunstler’s commentary on this:
The problem — as the Japanese like to say — is who will be “the nail that sticks up” and has the courage to denounce this suicidal clap-trap in a voice that is so loud and so clear (like Ms. Shaw’s) that no one can ignore it? Or, have things now gone so far that nothing effectively can be done, and we obediently serve our time in the woke gulag?
