Trump’s Desperate Need for Relevancy Makes Jury Selection Extremely Difficult

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

You support him or you hate him, there are no “undecideds.” You love your country or you hate it and believe that Donald Trump’s efforts to destroy democracy are more important than the future of your grandchildren.

Trump’s ego desperately needs constant massaging, or he will explode into a fit of rage and likely stroke out. His failing efforts to remain relevant make him the most infamous person in our nation. Everyone who is high school age or older has an opinion about “Big Adolf.”

Therefore, selecting 12 jurors and six alternates for his criminal trial in New York, a city in which the orange buffoon is not welcome, is a challenge. Background checks on prospective jurors has been extensive, the goal being a fair trial for an obese old man who has never treated another man or woman fairly.

COULD YOU BE AN IMPARTIAL JUROR ON A TRUMP TRIAL

I have worked hard for 77 years to be a fair-minded man who is willing to listen to both sides of any issue in a civil discussion. I attempt to exclude emotions and base my opinions exclusively on facts. Because of my efforts to think independently and keep an open mind, I am positive I would be rejected as a participant in Trump’s “hush money” trial.

I read news from all over the world, I don’t watch television and its fake news broadcasts which consistently eliminate the complete story about important issues. Unfortunately, I occasionally read comments made by the most illiterate and boring speaker in history, your former illegitimate president. He admits to his guilt. He told the American people that he is a sexual predator on the “Access Hollywood” tapes. He told us the 2016 election was rigged. The only thing he excluded was that Vladimir Putin was “rigging” it in his favor. His endless lie about the results of the 2020 election proves that he knows it was the “most secure and fair election in history,” as reported by his own election czar. His tendency for repetition is nothing more than an effort to convince his supporters that his lies are facts as he would like them to be.

Could you be an impartial juror if Trump was on trial? I doubt it.

WILL HE BE CONVICTED?

The biggest problem is that unless you have been living in a cave or on a deserted island for the last nine years, you have all the facts about his “sex for money” incident with adult film star, Stormy Daniels. You have heard that he used an intermediary to pay Ms. Daniels to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and keep his act of infidelity a secret from the voting public. His personal attorney at the time, Michael Cohen, gave Ms. Daniels a check for $130,000.

I cannot see any effort which could create reasonable doubt. Multiple women have accused “Big Adolf” of sexual assault. Recently he was ordered to pay Ms. E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in a defamation lawsuit related to an unsolicited sexual encounter.

TRUMP WILL RECEIVE A FAIR TRIAL

When Trump loses, he will undoubtedly claim that the trial was unfair: that “he did nothing wrong.” His usual defense.

Let me be clear. I have never witnessed efforts made with such detail to ensure that a single trial will be conducted without bias in my life. If Moscow Mitch McConnell had conducted a single fair trial after Trump’s two impeachments, this trial would not be happening today.

Trump is constantly placing his freedom and his economic future in jeopardy with his own words and actions. When he faces a trial for his many crimes, we already know he is guilty: Trump told us so. His lack of average intelligence and surrender to his weak emotional state make him extremely vulnerable.

One last note. If our leaders in October of 2016, President Obama, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Paul Ryan, and Nancy Pelosi, would have informed the voting public about Putin’s interference, Trump would have lost the election, and most of Trump’s 91 indictments would not have become a reality.

I Want You to Think About the Reasons for, and the Reality of Domestic Terrorism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From FBI Director Christopher Wray: “Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people.” Everyone remembers the name Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995 where 168 innocents were murdered, 19 of them small children. The media reported stories about Ted Kaczynski, dubbed “The Unabomber,” for 17 years, beginning in 1978. However, domestic terrorism is much more common in our country than reported by the media. Large events receive the headlines, but mass shootings continue to happen more frequently than the number of days on the calendar. After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, Republican politicians misdirected the facts related to domestic terrorism and focused their attacks on all Muslims, insinuating that they were all enemies of the United States. The truth is that the greatest danger lies within our own people, and it is related to uncontrolled gun violence and the greed of those involved in their manufacture and sales

One Very Serious and Critical Question: Why Do Republicans Hate America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Why my Wife Wants to Move to Canada

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I continue to claim that after four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency, the United States is one election away from becoming a fascist regime. A Republican win by any of their unqualified men or women in 2024 would signal the end of my America. Our neighbor to the north is already making preparations for the time when our government surrenders 330 million people to a dictator. [Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential election.] If I haven’t reported enough information to create an atmosphere of fear over the last 10 years, my efforts have failed. Maybe the fact that Canada is taking steps to thwart the effect of an autocratic society to its south will awaken some of the uninformed. Here’s the way I see it, tell me if I’m wrong. About 30-40 percent of all Americans c
