Indicted for Whom, Exactly?

Donald Trump, opting to play martyr, keeps saying that he’s being indicted for you, because “they” are really after you but he’s willing to take the accusations (not the blame or consequences, mind you) to protect you.

Have you ever declared bankruptcy six times? Been impeached (twice)? Committed sexual assault ($5 million verdict)? Created a fake university ($25 million verdict) or charity ($2 million verdict) to line your own pockets? I’m gonna guess the answer is probably no. That or you’re in prison with no access to the outside world to be able to answer this question.

Georgia prisoner #PO1135809, presidential candidate, is now facing 91 federal accounts that include running a criminal enterprise to overturn a free and fair election, according to over sixty court verdicts. Also purloining confidential documents that pose a danger to our nation’s intelligence operations. But he did nothing wrong.

And that’s why our legal system exists, to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Everyone, including Donald Trump, is assumed innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his peers. It would behoove us, as citizens, to allow the justice system to do its thing, slowly as always, and see how things shake out.

IMHO, I think it’s unfair and unwise for Donald Trump to compare himself to Jesus Christ just because he’s been accused of a crime. I also find it unseemly for the House Judiciary Committee and Georgia legislators to try to short-cut justice by interfering into ongoing investigations and attempting to fire the prosecutors for doing their jobs. And if Donald Trump is convicted of knowingly and willingly conspiring to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, those six of eight wanna-be’s who appeared at a “debate” the other night who indicated they would pardon him, should be ineligible under the U.S. Constitution for running for dogcatcher.

Our country’s been in tough spots before. Our Constitution was created to help us through, and it has done a pretty good job for over two centuries. Let’s give it a chance. Let the wheels of justice do their thing and, while we wait, and after the dust settles, let’s act like we believe we live in the greatest country on earth.

Personally, I am relatively certain, 99.9%, that “they,” whoever “they” are, are not after me. I even use the crosswalks and always pick up my dog’s poop. I don’t believe there is a two-tiered justice system, except that ours has normally given rich, white people the benefit of the doubt, even now.

I don’t want to go back to the fifties with its back alley abortions and Jim Crow. I wouldn’t mind, however, if our representatives were reminded from time that they are elected, by us, to solve our problems. Not to see who can get most likes on X or say the cruelest thing in order to be booked on tonight’s Fox TV. It all comes back to we, the people. Our politicians, and our judges, will only be as good as we demand them to be, and that starts at the ballot box. Stand up for America! Dee
