America is a Nation Without Laws

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

During the 2016 campaign, Trump told his fascist supporters: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible." Sadly this is true. The wealthy and powerful in America are never punished for their crimes.

Trump was impeached twice for confirmed Constitutional violations and given a free pass by a Republican Senate when he was acquitted twice. He is a traitor who planned, organized, and executed an attempt to overthrow our government, but remains a free man. He stole dozens of classified documents, including top secret nuclear documents and lied about this fact. Unlike the Rosenbergs, who acted in the same manner in the 1950’s, he remains a free man. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1955 for their acts of treason against the United States of America.

It is not surprising that the longest lists of criminals serving in Washington were during Republican administrations, most significantly those of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Many of the men and women who admitted to their crimes or convicted were allowed to resign without fair and just punishment.

The one incident which is most upsetting to me occurred inside Trump’s current residence; Mar-a-Lago.

He claimed that he had returned all the documents he took with him when he was evicted from the White House. However, boxes containing classified documents were found hidden inside his millionaires only playpen. He should have been arrested at that very moment and placed behind bars. Anyone who is not rich and/or powerful would have been locked up awaiting trial immediately.

Final facts. Black Americans are incarcerated at a disproportional rate. The average yearly income of all men and women incarcerated in U.S. prisons was under $20,000. However, Republican politicians continue to claim there is no connection between poverty and crime.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically bias...
