Tales from real life |
Well, if they're not true, they oughta be! |
If you're not abusing power, then you don't really have any. - The Gospel of Trump Actions speak louder than words. Joe Biden’s pardon of his son is a more eloquent concession speech than any losing candidate has ever made. Yes, Kamala Harris lost the battle, but Joe Biden lost the war. The choice in the 2024 election was clearly between the down-home appeal of Joe Biden and the elitism of Donald Trump. Joe Biden is the faithful husband and loving father that Donald Trump has never been. Biden is the competent and accomplished politician that Donald Trump will never be. Joe has been a model of decency and public service for his entire life, concepts that 'The Donald’ can’t even comprehend. Kamala Harris offered a vision of hard work and self-sacrifice, asking that all Americans join together to make our nation good again. Donald Trump offered the big lie, a me-first vision of greatness declared rather than earned. Now, the election is over. The people have spoken. America has gone all-in on corruption and the abuse of power. On January 25th, 2025, the most prolific liar in American history will be sworn in for a second term as U. S. President. He will stand up in front of dozens of cameras and publicly perjure himself by taking an oath that he has promised to break on his first day in office. You can vote a dictator in, but you can't vote him out. - The Gospel of Trump The American people have made their choice. They've given Donald Trump a mandate to dismantle democracy and roll back civil rights. And, for greater emphasis, they put his MAGA co-conspirators in charge of both the house and the senate. America rejected Harris's challenge to love their neighbor and work together for the greater good. They’ve endorsed the big lie, government corruption, and the abuse of presidential power. There will be mid-term elections in 2026, but the results may not matter. If the voters don't 'choose' correctly, then their candidates may simply be 'repealed and replaced' with more reliable legislators. And there is no legal recourse. The Trump majority on the supreme court is ready and willing to rule in his favor. There is no longer any check on his unbalanced power. Everyone who voted for Donald Trump should be cheering the pardon of Hunter Biden. And they should take great pleasure in the fact that Joe broke his promise about not granting it. There could be no more definitive acknowledgment that we're now living in Donald Trump’s America. Joe’s action doesn’t need to be explained or excused. The will of the people is that neither law nor ethics apply to the presidency. Trump’s base fought hard to be ruled by dictatorial whim, and Hunter's pardon is a first small taste. Instead of criticizing, MAGA nation should be celebrating. And beyond that, every MAGA voter should be sending Joe Biden flowers and thanking him for sparing Donald Trump’s life. Joe is the sitting president until January 25th. The Trump legal team argued before the supreme court that a sitting president may 'officially' execute his political enemies. The Trump majority agreed and issued a ruling that President Trump has immunity from prosecution for any and all crimes committed while in office. So, for the next two months, Donald Trump lives or dies at Joe Biden’s pleasure. I’m not calling for Joe to go all ‘Dirty Harry’ on Trump. I’m merely pointing out that he can. And Joe has that power because our soon-to-be dictator rigged the court. It would be poetic justice if Donald Trump became a tragic victim of his own scam. |
