It fills my heart with sorrow to say it - even to think it.
But the sad, sickening, enraging truth is that they have the goods on Donald Trump. They have enough evidence to put the man away forever. They’ve had enough for a long time. Those investigations by the New York AG?
They’re just window dressing to assure us docile sheep that our government in the land of the free and home of the brave is on the job.
Robert Mueller gave us 10 - count ‘em, TEN counts of obstruction of justice and abuse of power that he said could not be brought against a sitting president. And all the politicians lined up to tell us never fear, we’ll indict his ass the moment he becomes a regular citizen. And we believed them. I believed them. Hell, what choice did we have?
But they haven’t indicted him. And the sad, sickening, enraging truth is they won’t. Oh, they’ll keep on reporting that they’re “investigating”. They’ll placate us with juicy stories about the “authorities” being hot on his trail. But they’re not going to do **** to Donald Trump.
He ruled with fear. Everyone knew he had no moral boundaries about what he would try to do to people who opposed him. The “authorities” are still in fear of him. They fear that arresting him would cause a race war, or at least another insurrection- worse than the one we’re already got PTSD from.
So...
I can’t tell you what to do. But, though it chokes me with bile, I’m going to be trying to settle it in my heart the bitter truth that there will be no justice in this life for Donald John Trump.
I think you are wrong here. I am not being naïve...but I am supposing the rule of law WILL be shown to apply to everyone, even a disgusting ex-president.
Either that or the Republic is finished...and I do not see that happening.
I say that Trump takes a huge fall...and while he may not actually end up in prison, he will see a restrictive house arrest that will preclude him from ever playing a round of golf during the duration of the house arrest. It will probably see him restricted from lots of other things he treasures.
AND he will see his kids go into prison...and maybe even see some of them flip on him.
We'll see.
