After Trump’s Victory: ‘Justice Without Revenge’

By Roger L Simon

Homage to Lope de Vega

Donald Trump’s sweeping victory is a harbinger of massive political and social realignment in our country.

That victim-obsessed excrescence known as “woke,” already on fumes, is on life support.  The corporate media has been exposed for the pompous self-centered propagandists they are, rendered impotent against the onslaught of people’s media. Pollsters  have revealed themselves as the media’s useless adjuncts, equally propagandistic.

Identity politics, that most reactionary of old habits, is also on the wane as the American people showed themselves to be more interested in policy, or lack thereof, than race or sex.

A commonsense alliance points to an exciting entrepreneurial future exemplified by Trump allies Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy and others.

G-d seems to have had a hand in it, having spared Mr. Trump’s life for a reason.

So with G-d in mind, let’s address the looming question of the aftermath—how justice is served.

And let us do it in the spirit of the great Spanish playwright Lope de Vega who argued, in the title of one of the most famous of his many plays, that we administer “Justice Without Revenge.”

This is a difficult challenge going forward and must be handled well for the good of all citizens, even, maybe especially, for the heavily-indoctrinated who fail to acknowledge what has happened in front of their eyes.

Much must be accounted for. Arguably Trump’s most important appointment will be his attorney general.  It is likely he will get the person he wants because of the new configuration of the Senate.

Let’s stipulate that our justice system has been thoroughly raped, misused to an extent never seen in our history in the name of a wretched relatively recent epidemic almost as bad as COVID-19 known as “lawfare.”.

This is comprised not just of wannabe Torquemadas like Jack Smith and tedious gasbags like New York City DA Alvin Bragg and New York State DA Letitia James, but also the upper reaches of our society by FBI director Wray and his attorney general Merrick Garland, not to mention myriad legal hacks from Georgia to Colorado.

This misuse of our legal system to destroy political opponents absolutely must end.  The people who perpetrated it must be thoroughly exposed (not just in congressional hearings but in a court of law) and face legal consequences.

But it should be done in the Lope de Vega tradition of “Justice Without Revenge”.  In other words, as a suggestion, in the case of most miscreants, they should simply be stripped of their positions and lose their licenses to practice law, not suffer incarceration or further punishment.

Nevertheless, in the process, we must learn to what extent Jan 6 was an inside job. Wray dodged the question of government involvement (agents provocateurs) on multiple occasions but to the degree that it is true it must be fully known and Wray himself stigmatized.  Most, if not all, of those jailed for the “insurrection that wasn’t” will be released as promised by Donald Trump and made recompense.  That part is true justice.

As for the aforementioned COVID-19, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx and their cohorts must be held accountable.  Their actions, including connections to the Wuhan Virology Lab and gain-of-function research, are in the category of crimes against humanity.  All must be revealed, probably in concert with some version of the intentional community (not WHO!),  so it is not repeated.

We shall leave it to RFKJr to design a proper punishment for Big Pharma.  There can never, however, be recompense for the millions of lost childhood years across the globe. (I can see even Lope scratching his head on the one.  Nuremberg?)

Equally dangerous for all U. S. citizens, we must expose the degree to which our secret intelligence agencies have been infected by self-serving political biasand turned against the people.

51 current and former members of that community signed a letter implying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, a lie most of them knew at the time and told to protect President Biden.  (Allegedly the letter was instigated by current Secretary of State Blinken.)

That was an outright betrayal of the American people and it is an easy call to say that every single one of those people who have intelligence clearance should lose it immediately.

But should they be prosecuted for treason, because it is certainly arguable under the circumstances?

Again I would suggest we employ the Lope de Vega principle.  These people should be publicly exposed for what they did, lose their security clearance as mentioned and lose their law licenses as well, if they have them.  The penalty for treason is death.  It is not merited.  But ridicule is to the maximum degree.  They have betrayed their fellow Americans.

Then we come, of course, to the Bidens.  President Trump has already indicated he might commute any sentence for Hunter Biden for his various crimes, known and unknown.  This is good judgement because being Hunter, and the son of Joe, is its own punishment.  It’s not hard to understand why Hunter became a drug addict.  (It would be nice to know who left the cocaine in the White House, however.)

This leaves us, of course, with Joe Biden himself, the man whose doings and undoings were buried in his son’s laptop and elsewhere.  It goes without saying that many of us, not just Tony Bobulinski whose testimony has never been contradicted, believe that our soon to be former president had been corrupted, essentially bribed, by several foreign governments, notably China, Russia and Ukraine, to name the most obvious.

If this is true, it is treason and punishable by death.  In fact, it is a crime unlike any that has occurred in the history of our country, one that was covered up by the anti-democratic lackeys of the mainstream media to a fare thee well.  For that these media deserve to be mocked and ignored into perpetuity, at the very least.  Losing broadcast licenses is merited and should be explored.

But what of the senile Biden?  He has already been judged non compos mentis by special counsel Robert K. Hur and the idea of this former president standing trial is a sideshow more than this nation should have to bear.

They should, however, learn the truth.  What happened here?  Exactly what payments were made to the Bidens and by whom? Of course these funds should be confiscated. A congressional investigation may not be the right venue. Something more seemingly impartial, a new special counsel appointed by the coming renewed Justice Department, might meet with Lope’s approval.

Truth, it is written in the Talmud and many other great texts, religious and otherwise, is the mightiest of all things.

It is the basis for a just society.

Toward that end, there is one other thing we must find out.  Our electoral system demands it into the future.  Most of us acknowledge that it needs fixing on multiple levels from paper ballots to voter ID.

More than ever, because of what happened Nov 5, 2024, we need a thorough examination of what happened in Nov 2020.

This popular vote graph from my friend Jeffrey Carter’s Substack tells a disturbing story.

How do we reconcile that Donald Trump received more votes in 2020 than he did in 2024 when he won the popular vote, yet he lost in 2020 to a Joe Biden that somehow got tens of millions more votes back then than Kamala Harris did now? Where did those votes come from?  The population doesn’t exist.  You don’t have to be in Denmark to know that something is rotten.

We will need more than Lope de Vega to figure that out.  But if we don’t, we might as well be China… or Iran.
