Booking Prisoner P01135809
No matter the strength of the evidence in the multiple indictments in which this man is named, he is assumed innocent until proven guilty.
So, let’s put aside the four criminal cases and 91 felony counts he faces and instead look at some of his actions as President.
As President, this man:
- Knowingly lied to the public about the dangers of the COVID-19 virus.
- Regularly praised anti-democratic and authoritarian leaders around the world.
- Equated the moral character of neo-Nazis with the people protesting neo-Nazis.
- Welcomed interference from foreign governments into American elections.
- Refused to accept the results of a free and fair election even after sixty court cases, and his own attorney general stated the claims of election fraud were bullshit.
- Sat idly in the Oval Office for nearly 3 hours as his supporters attacked the capital building and assaulted police officers.
Even if you believe this man is innocent of the 91 felony charges, he is demonstrably guilty of being a shitty human being.
I’m unsure why millions of Americans refuse to look at this man’s lack of ethics and morality and continue to support him, but my gut says it’s human behavior.
Admitting Trump is a shitty human means admitting you knowingly voted for a shitty human, which reflects poorly on you. So, to avoid the embarrassment of your vote and inability to judge a person’s character, you turn a blind eye to all that orange shittieness and hop on the “What About Hunter Biden” bandwagon.
A president or presidential candidate’s lack of character threatens the republic only when voters are unable or unwilling to judge that character.
Until Republicans discover their character and admit politics blinded them to Trump’s lack of morality and that they were conned, America will continue to teeter on the abyss.
MAGA Nation
Culty MAGA members sing
they bend their knee, they kiss the ring
deny they see a naked king
Banning books and fanning flames
toting guns like Jesse James
thoughts and prayers to stop the bleeding
screaming at a drag show reading
Stripping healthcare, mining coal
pushing myths about the soul
damning those who don’t obey
denying women of their say
Casting stones, suppressing votes
grab our country by the throat
locked into a MAGA craze
they pull us back to darker days
Drinking Kool-Aid from a cup
yelling up is down!
and down is up!
spinning lies and crafting fables
twist the truth to turn the tables
Deny the facts and praise the liar
collectively they all conspire
to set democracy on fire
Culty MAGA members sing
they bend their knee, they kiss the ring
deny they see a naked king
Donald Trump, Cousin Eddy, Josef Goebbels, and the GOP
Donald Trump saw masses of hateful and uneducated Americans as an untapped resource. He pandered to them from the very beginning of his campaign, all the way through his presidency. He adroitly tweaked their xenophobic fears and white nationalistic attitudes and transformed them into votes.
He effectively made them the foundation of today’s Republican party.
In the past, Republicans would have blanched at welcoming these types of people under their tent. But once invited, they’ve spread like invasive vegetation, choking out moderate republican and authentic conservative voices.
Today, a uniquely unqualified brood of jackals and jackasses like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, “Gym” Jordan, and Devin Nunes has turned the GOP from a party of ideas to a demeaning cult of personality, with zero ideas.
We see them scrambling to prevent the release of phone records that will likely show collaboration with the President in his attempt to subvert the 2020 Presidential election.
When Donald Trump became President, the old guard Republicans lost control of their party. The GOP is now controlled by a bunch of cousin Eddies’ (from Vacation), except this version of Eddy doesn’t have an ounce of decency or kindness. In fact, he’s more like an Eddy / Josef Goebbels hybrid, and he’s parked that God-awful RV smack dab in the middle of the Republican party.
Instead of taking out the trash, Donald Trump opened the front door and dragged the garbage into the GOP. And now, decent/moderate Republicans find themselves between a rock and a hard place, where If they turn their back on the Cousin Eddy Goebbels of the GOP, they’re likely going to be out of a job.
So, they sit and watch the transformative ruin of their party.
Democrats should work with Republicans to help them get back control of their party for the country’s good. They should reach out to moderates and cut some deals in exchange for expelling the growing number of Eddy Goebbels from the party – it might be the only way we save our country.
