Who would have been able to guess? Trump petitioned that his illegal taking, keeping, refusing to return, and hiding top secret military documents be thrown out because the Supreme Court has ruled that “official presidential acts” are immune from prosecution. Of course he did. He already did the same thing for his violent attempt to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021. Immune immune immune – right?
Well, of course, both requests will be denied. But not to worry if you are the criminal, Donald J Trump. You will appeal, and appeal, and delay, and delay. And eventually, the appeals will reach the Supreme Court.
And, of course, the Supreme Court should deny that the egregious violation of the constitution by orchestrating, a violent coup, and the egregious espionage crime of stealing, hoarding, hiding (selling?) classified secrets. But this is the same Supreme Court who has already given Trump a get out of jail free card. Won’t they just rule in his favor again? Indeed aren’t the six judges placed on the Supreme Court by the Republicans active revolutionaries looking to, and succeeding in, creating an unconstitutional United States – and oligarchic and theocratic authoritarian dictatorship? Weren’t they all nurtured, educated, and groomed by the heritage foundation – which stopped being a conservative Think Tank sometime ago, and instead have become an overly, proudly, crusadingly, right wing extremist revolutionary force?
Remember, please, the most revealing of all statements from the first Trump administration. It was by the cold eyed, dead hearted aid, Stephen Miller. He said in 2017:
“…the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.”
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the idea that Trump edicts “will not be questioned” will be the operating principle of a Trump presidency if the country in the world is unlucky enough to be curse for the second (and third? And fourth?) term.
It is hard to admit that you made a mistake voting for this disastrous person already twice. But I firmly believe that enough people will be repulsed by this very sick person that he will lose in November. And his attempted violent overthrown after his loss will just be a fizzle.
Here is a photo of Stephen Miller, showing the three fingered White Supremacy signal, during his “will not be questioned” command.
