Ambiguous? I Don’t Think So

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

“No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The former is from section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I don’t understand why, but there are some self-proclaimed political and Constitutional experts claiming that this part of our Constitution does not apply to Donald Trump, although he planned, and organized, an insurrection on January 6, 2021 with the intent of preventing a democratic process underway in the Capitol Building.

Anyone who watched the three long hours when Trump’s “army,” composed of Neo-Nazis and others who hate the nation of our Founding Fathers, stormed the Capitol, smashed windows, broke down doors, defecated on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, and searched the building with the intention of executing the Vice-President, witnessed the darkest day in American history. There is no question, this was an attempted coupe executed for the sole purpose of keeping a confirmed fascist in power over our nation’s people.

If this was not the most egregious act of treason in our nation’s history, I no longer have anything to believe in. All 77 years of my life as a patriot were a lie. The Constitution means nothing, and America is a country without laws.

Robert Reich, a man I have learned to respect, and writing for The Guardian, agrees with those of us who tell the truth.

[The most obvious question in American politics today should be: why is the guy who committed treason just over two years ago allowed to run for president? Answer: he shouldn’t be.]

Everyone should read the attached article by Mr. Reich even though it is eight months old. It remains relevant.

If you attempt to discount Mr. Reich’s opinions, look at this one statement which is undeniable and should scare the shit out of you.

“Trump tried these tactics once. The likelihood of trying again is greater because loyalists are in stronger positions.”

Let’s not forget that he added to his treasonous action by stealing classified documents from the White House and lied to the FBI about their existence, hidden in Mar-a-Lago. In 1955 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for a very similar crime.

Only an American should be allowed to seek the presidency. Trump is a Russian asset who works for Putin, not for the American people.

If you support Trump, you do not love your country. You support the antithesis of what it means to be a patriotic American.

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...
