kentuck's JournalWho should be held "accountable"?
Not only should Donald Trump be held accountable for his crimes, but so should those that would defend him with threats of violence.
Those that argue that he should never be accused, and threaten repercussions if he is indicted, should be held accountable.
An indictment is not a jury trial, or a judge, or a sentencing. It is an accusation of a crime.
To argue that the justice system should not be allowed to work is anti-American.
If anyone commits a crime, they should be held accountable. Those that would block accountability should also be held accountable. They are obstructing justice.
It's time to let the justice system to do its job.
"I did nothing wrong!"
But all the evidence seems to suggest otherwise.
TFG continues to insists that no one has a right to question his motives about anything he has said or done.
Do not ask questions about giving money to a porn star to keep her quiet just before an election.
Do not say anything about missing national security documents that were illegally taken from the White House when he departed.
Do not ask any questions about recorded phone calls that suggest extortion of an elected official in Georgia.
Do not mention anything about what happened on January 6th, 2021.
Because TFG is above reproach. Not only should he never be indicted for any of the crimes mentioned above, he should never be questioned about them.
Why do people continue to treat him like an average citizen? What right do they have to question the former president of the United States?
He said he did "nothing wrong".
Isn't that enough?
It was an attempted coup d'etat.
It was a violent attempt to overthrow our government.
Then they lied about it.
Then they believed the lies.
Then they blamed others for their failings.
They were not the aggressors. They were the victims, they said.
One lie beget another.
The traitors became the patriots and the true patriots became enemies of the state.
The lies became the truth and the truth became the lie.
And so ended democracy in America.
Republicans are saying Trump cannot be indicted because he is running for President...
The truth of the matter is that he is running for president to keep from being indicted.
Rep. Comer (R-KY) was on MTP this morning and said it was all "political" and that since Trump was running for President, it should be a Federal investigation.
It sounds like a chicken or egg argument?
But Trump announced his intent to run before all the votes had been counted in the last election. He is using his candidacy as a defense against indictment. It is fairly obvious.
Rather than saying Trump cannot be indicted because he is running for the Presidency, it would be more appropriate to say that Trump cannot run for the presidency simply to escape indictment, which is more accurate.
The "Normalcy" of Donald J Trump.
Here we go again!
The "media" is reporting on the inevitability of Donald Trump winning his Party's nomination and being elected the next president of the United States.
Personally, although I have no choice, I do not want to live in a country where people think Donald Trump is "normal".
Excuse me if I do not see the "good things" he has done.
I see a scofflaw and a grifter who attempted to overthrow our government in a violent coup. I see a traitor who despises our country. I see an ignorant, uncouth, uncivil person bent on dividing our nation.
I see a criminal who has stolen millions of dollars from his followers and always gravitates to the lowest common denominator.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell the nation anything more than they already know.
I know it is not "normal".
"We're going to march peacefully and patriotically down to the Cap-i-tol..."
Trump said during his Ellipse speech of January 6th.
That was the only time he mentioned "peacefully and patriotically" during his entire speech. The rest was pure incitement.
In my opinion, he wanted them to march "peacefully and patriotically" down to the Capitol because he did not want them distracted from their job at hand.
Once they got to the Capitol, he wanted them to send a message to the Congress. He told them they had to fight if they wanted to keep their country.
The whole purpose of his comment about marching "peacefully and patriotically" was to make sure they made it to the Capitol without interruption and then they could do the job they came to Washington to do.
Just my opinion.
Lest we forget, Trump started the rumor that he was going to be arrested last Tuesday.
And some talking heads on cable television picked up on it and it monopolized the coverage for a few days.
But, the message that Trump was going to be arrested never came out of the Manhattan DA"s office, as far as we know.
It was a propaganda ploy by Donald Trump to focus on the misdemeanor, rather than the felonies.
He is a master of media manipulations.
Joe Scarborough made an interesting point about the NY investigation with DA Bragg.
Scarborough seemed to think it might be a distraction, a diversion, from more serious crimes on the burner? And that Trump wants people to "look over here" at this "misdemeanor", rather than focus on what is going on in the other investigations.
He may be right about that? Jack Smith seems to be closing quickly on the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation. He has gotten the crime-fraud exception for the testimony of two of Trump's attorneys - Evan Corcoran and Jennifer Little. (There seems to be some sort of Russian connection with Jennifer Little)
With the speed in which the appeals court acted after Judge Howell made her ruling, the Special Counsel seems to be on a hot trail?
The Whispers in the Shadows
It is in their nature for "conspiracy theorists" to be somewhat paranoid. Somebody is out to get them.
After the insurrection, and the mass arrests, Trump followers have become very paranoid. Many believe they were set up by the FBI.
Consequently, they are very hesitant and wary about attending Trump rallies. They no longer have complete faith in their Leader, that he will protect them from jail and prosecution. They see their brothers sitting in the DC jail.
Yesterday, MTG and a few other misfits went to visit the jailed insurrectionists. According to reports, they patted them on the back with encouragement and treated them like heroes.
But, many did not feel like heroes. They felt betrayed by Donald Trump. They have been sitting in jail a long time and Trump has done nothing for them. Reportedly, Trump called them while the Congressional "misfits" were doing their performances.
The January 6th accomplices in the US Congress continue to pretend these people are patriots and were fighting for their freedoms. But, they do not feel like patriots. They feel like jailbirds who were tricked and deceived by a con-man.
The Waco Wackos...
...will meet in Texas tomorrow to share their kool-aid.
No doubt, it will be a threatening and violent speech by the disturbed and dangerous Republican Leader. The more violence he will espouse, the louder will be the applause.
Huge flags of adoration will occupy the landscape, as the Mussolini wanna-be marches back and forth across the stage.
He will tell them that it is not he they are after, it is them. He is the only person standing between them and a tyrannical government.
He will look anything but presidential.
It will be obvious to most that we need to spend more money on mental health.
