Bullies and The Cardinal Rule

You can’t let a bully get away with it!

You might not be able to protect your lunch money from the bully on day one, but you’d better have a plan for day two, otherwise he’ll steal it every day and for the entire school year until you grow 6″ taller and are recruited as a tackle for the football team.

Two bullies took my winter hat (I was eight years old) on the bus and teased me all the way to school before ripping my hat in two. I was sobbing when I got off the bus and was taken to the principal’s office to identify the brothers who did it. The offenders’ family didn’t have a phone and any mail notice that was sent, including their grades, never made it home to Mom. Suffice it to say, even the principal was afraid of them. Today, I’d opine that both of them are in jail and their elderly mother sits on what’s left of a rickety front porch with an AR-15 that she’d use on the mailman if he ever got close enough.

Lo and behold, two families down the country road owned a dairy, each family had 8 kids, 12 of which were school age. Some of the boys were older than the two offenders. I never knew this for sure but something tells me they faced up to the offenders and the mean boys never so much as talked to me again, much less laid a finger on me. Dee 1, Bullies 1, plus Dee is guaranteed protection through high school. Win!

For nearly 80 years, Donald Trump has never paid the price for any of his nefarious deeds, and there have been more than you and I will never know about. Finally, one person has stood up to him and won, an 80 year-old woman who he sexually assaulted, and also defamed not once, but repeatedly.

Trump used Russia to win in 2016. Result? Mueller investigation was DOA due to AG Bill Barr.

Trump blackmailed Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden. Result? Senate Republicans didn’t have the guts to convict.

Trump used several means to commit treason, attempting to disenfranchise 82 million voters and prohibit a legal transfer of power to his legitimately elected successor, Joe Biden. Result? Once again, the Republican Senate didn’t have the guts to convict him. Now he claims total immunity for treason and is the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.

Trump claims total immunity for everything illegal he and his cronies did before, during and after his presidency, and also claims that he has the right to be on the presidential ballot throughout the nation even though he has committed an insurrection. Result? We’ll see if our SCOTUS has the guts to do what needs to be done before Trump gets elected and becomes our first of many dictators, or loses and puts the country through hell by bullying his way back into the White House to pardon himself.

Bullies never stop of their own volition. They need to be stopped before the damage becomes too great to bear. BTW, these cases could be in court forever, because Trump’s not paying the price, his campaign donors are. Haven’t the American people had enough? Think about it before you vote. Dee
