Ain’t No Fun When the Rabbit's Got the Gun
They thought they’d shoot him, bury him, and dance on his political grave
But here we are. And now the rabbit has the gun. And he’s not firing wildly into the woods. He’s taking very careful and direct aim.
For years, Donald J. Trump was the hunted. The media, the bureaucracy, the party elites, the intel agencies—especially their leaders—all took turns trying to take him down. The FBI, DOJ, CIA, they weren’t just neutral referees, they were heavy political actors. Not the boots-on-the-ground rank and file—I believe that many of them serve with true integrity—but the leadership? They focused on one job: protecting their power.
Remember the fabricated dossiers? The illegal FISA warrants? The midnight impeachments? Yeah. That was the hunt. And they were absolutely convinced he’d never come back. But here he is—stronger than ever—and now it’s their turn to squirm.
Because when this rabbit has the gun, it’s not about revenge. It’s about restoring the rules that should’ve applied to everyone all along.
You see, Trump’s weapon isn’t pettiness, it’s the Constitution. Executive power, judicial accountability, lawful investigation. He didn’t create the system. He just stopped pretending it wasn’t rigged and took a stand against it.
And the swamp? Oh Dear Lord; they are panicking!
Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York—once a crusader against Trump—is now indicted for mortgage fraud and falsifying loan applications. James Comey, former FBI Director? Indicted for lying to Congress and obstruction. John Bolton, the hawkish turncoat, now facing 18 counts related to mishandling classified documents. LOL, and that’s just this month.
The very people who bent the rules to take Trump down are now drowning in the laws they thought would never touch them.
Why you ask? Because for the first time in decades, someone in the Oval Office is using federal power not to expand the empire, but to shrink it. Not to punish enemies, but to enforce much needed accountability. Trump is doing what 77 million Americans elected him to do: drain the swamp, restore constitutional order, and remind Washington that the people still matter. And yes, 77 million others and I voted for this exact situation.
Dare I say that this isn’t tyranny. This is what balance looks like when you haven’t seen it in years.
So, let’s get one thing straight: Trump is rough around the edges. He’s not polished. But he’s principled where it counts. He read the room. Millions of us have felt powerless for decades and he didn’t just feel it, he had the guts to act.
And that’s why the establishment is terrified. Not because Trump is breaking the rules, but because he’s finally enforcing the rules.
Amazing, isn’t it? They are absolutely terrified of their own rules being used against them. And that’s the irony. For decades they wrote these laws thinking they’d only ever apply to you and I. The nobodies. Now they’re being reminded that the Constitution cuts both ways (at least it’s supposed to).
They’re watching thousands of illegal immigrants being deported, not just as a return to law and order, but as a direct blow to the games they’ve played with congressional apportionment and voter dilution. They see moves toward paper ballots, single-day voting, and real voter ID laws gaining momentum, and they’re sweating because it means their grip on elections is slipping away. They see entire bureaucracies—bloated, useless money pits—being scaled back or shut down entirely, and they know the gravy train’s coming to a screeching halt.
This isn’t about vengeance my friends. It’s about virtue.
Yes, the gun is just a metaphor, but the accountability is breathtakingly real. And as the swamp drains, the filth that once hid beneath the surface is finally being exposed to the light. The creatures who once slithered through backroom deals and bloated agencies are scattering into the brush, because the muck is drying up. This time, it’s not temporary. It’s a permanent clearing. The Constitution is the pump, and the American people are watching the waterline fall.
Because, in this case, when the rabbit holds the gun, it’s not the end of the hunt. If you get my drift…
And I voted for this; Did You?
If you appreciate Restore First Principles posts, please consider giving them a like. It’s a simple gesture that costs you nothing but goes a long way in promoting this Stack.
Yes I did!
The “rabbit with the gun” metaphor hits hard — and for good reason. People are tired of double standards, tired of watching a system protect its own while everyday Americans get steamrolled by the rules that were never supposed to be one-sided in the first place.
Accountability isn’t vengeance — it’s justice finally coming due. For years, power in Washington has been treated like a private club. The elites wrote the rules, broke the rules, and laughed when anyone else tried to question them. Now the same rules they ignored are circling back, and suddenly they’re crying foul.
That’s not tyranny. That’s balance — something this country hasn’t seen in a long time.
But here’s the key: the Constitution isn’t a weapon. It’s the great equalizer. When it’s applied fairly, without political bias or protection for the powerful, it levels the playing field. That’s what real leadership looks like — using lawful authority to restore integrity, not destroy opponents.
So yes, accountability is uncomfortable — especially for those who’ve never faced it. But this moment isn’t about revenge. It’s about reclaiming the idea that no one, not even the powerful, is above the law. Because if we don’t enforce the rules for everyone, then they were never rules to begin with.
