Those who can’t see that are either blind or delusional.
Saving Democracy — It comes down to who votes now that SCOTUS is involved.
Delay of justice for one is not equal justice at all. It has become clear by now that the US Supreme Court isn’t going to solve the Trump problem any time soon because they allowed his appeal of the lower court ruling on his immunity defense.
The Supreme Court on Feb. 27 agreed to decide whether former President Donald Trump can be tried on criminal charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In a one-page unsigned order, the justices ordered a federal appeals court to continue to keep on hold its ruling rejecting Trump’s claims of immunity from prosecution, and they fast-tracked the case for oral argument until April 22.
This means that the twice indicted and civilly convicted ex-president is still in the race against President Joseph Biden for the 2024 election. This will be a consequential rematch that could determine or undermine the future of America.
Trump was indicted in August 2023 on four counts arising from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol. Many thought that this was the beginning of the end for the criminal Trumpster but he continues to appeal every legal ruling even after he’s been convicted, like in the New York fraud case, where he owes more than $350 million plus interest (pushing the total to $450 million). “When will somebody just put him in jail where he belongs?” say all but his most loyal and delusional followers. Can the electorate be this confused about the leader who packed his cabinet with billionaires who were so corrupt that five of them were referred by their own staff to the Justice Department for prosecution (which an equally corrupt Bill Barr ignored)?
Here are a few more of Trump’s greatest hits:
- When, in April 2020, he learned that most of the people dying of COVID-19 were Black people in blue states, he ended America’s lockdown and began pushing to get people back to work. As a result, America had more deaths from the pandemic as a percentage of our population than any other developed country on Earth.
- He stirred up religious and racial hatred and encouraged Nazis and racist militias. Remember the Proud Boys who were convicted for the Jan. 6 insurrection?
- He devastated the EPA, pushing out over half their scientists.
- He cut taxes on his morbidly rich peers, producing an $8 trillion addition to our national debt, more than any president in history.
- He put three radicals on the Supreme Court and several hundred crackpot, unqualified judges on the federal bench.
- He sucked up to Putin and trash-talked our democratic allies.
- He tried to destroy NATO and promised to finish the job if he’s back in office next year.
- He empowered religious fanatics who are now on a campaign to outlaw abortion and birth control, destroy our entire public school system, and stir up hatred against the queer community. And wants to get rid of vaccine mandates in all schools.
And now the six corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court are going out of their way to give him the delays he wants so he can stay out of jail and continue his campaign to end our way of life.
As reported in the March 3 Rolling Stone article by Noah Shachtman and Asawin Suebsaeng, the “Defense Department’s inspector general released a report detailing how the White House Medical Unit during the Trump administration distributed controlled substances with scant oversight and even sloppier record keeping. Investigators repeatedly noted that the unit had ordered thousands and thousands of doses of the stimulant modafinil, which has been used by military pilots for decades to stay alert during long missions.”
This article went on to say, “Knowledgeable sources say that samples of the stimulant were passed around for those contributing lines to major Trump speeches, working late hours on foreign policy initiatives, responding to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, coping with the deluge of media inquiries about that investigation… .”
If during the administration of Trump, you thought the people must be high on something, it turns out that you were right! They were taking uppers and downers washed down with alcohol. This of course only calls into question what the Orange man is taking that keeps him so agitated.
President Biden may be a bit slow at times but nobody has accused him of being stoned. Nor has anyone actually questioned whether Trump (who is less than four years younger) is too old to be president. The deal is you have one man who has years of government experience, and lots of foreign policy knowledge running against an Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine) addict who is inspired by fascists, dictators, and brutal authoritarians.
This would seem like a no-brainer decision and yet it will come down to a slim majority in just five maybe six states, which isn’t California that is decidedly NO ON TRUMP.
