If any other person in this country had been as active on social media in attempting to taint a jury pool, in threatening open violence and in attacking the prosecution who charged them, as well as the judges who are potentially going to hear the case in their court, as Donald Trump has been since he was indicted by several grand juries in various locations, that person would be under an enforced gag order and would be held in custody awaiting a speedy trial.
I have no idea who is responsible for the bending-over-backward, favorable treatment being given to this man who is under indictment for some really serious crimes which will almost certainly involve prison sentences if he is found guilty. If what we've seen so far is accurate, and it certainly has that appearance, the evidence of crimes committed is overwhelming. But he's getting away with making threats and inciting violence. A United States Army General is taking steps to protect his family and himself because of the casual words of this man, which should be, in any interpretation of the Constitution, against the law. But it's being allowed to happen without a consequence.
The latest unconstitutional blabber to come forth from failed President 45's mouth is his idea that those who are engaged in rioting by smashing store windows should be shot on sight, without due process, and placing the value of merchandise above the value of a human life. So much for being pro-life, huh? These people are, by the way, being arrested when evidence warrants it, some, who have committed acts considered to be a danger to the community, held for trial. Threatening harm or death to someone else, regardless of what they're doing, isn't protected free speech.
This is Trump, Shooting Someone in the Middle of Fifth Avenue and Getting Away With It
He said it and he meant it and he was obviously right. He has no respect for the judges in either Georgia or Washington, DC who say they mean business, and he expects the third judge, the one he appointed, will do whatever he says because he appointed her long before she was qualified or ready, and expects her to be corrupt in his favor.
He is doing exactly what he said he would do back in 2016, when he first started running. He has gotten away with things all his life because he is privileged, white, and rich. He has found the America that exists for him is not the same one the rest of us live in and he has learned that he can buy and influence his way around any obstacle, legal or otherwise, and get away with it, because we let him get away with it. The media promotes it to get ratings, and stupid people go along with it.
Funny, isn't it, that I hear conservatives whining and griping and complaining about how crime is the result of Democratic party policy which ignores it or lets people off the hook or has too many ways for someone to get out of accountability, yet here is someone that half the party is seriously thinking about supporting for another run to the White House, an incoherent, babbling, insane fool incapable of dealing with the slightest opposition. That's really incomprehensible.
But what is even more so is the fact that he's getting away with it and no one seems to have either the responsibility or the fortitude to stand up to it and put him in his place. I don't know about other people's opinion, but I'm really losing confidence in the ability of these judges to conduct a fair trial and get a reasonable outcome that he hasn't already tainted. It's ridiculous for Republicans to talk about law and order as long as this guy is running for President unaffected by the indictments swirling around him.
But isn't there more that can be done besides tongue clicking and a few loud comments in the media?
