Trump has his first candidate to be his next Attorney-General...

None other than the former Special Counsel, Robert Hur.

He would help Trump shut down any and all investigations, would be my opinion.

When asked by a Congressman at his hearing, if he would take a position in a new Trump Administration, he just smiled and refused to answer.

Isn't it about time to send a company of FBI agents to Mar-a-lago and put him in custody? This whole "rule of law" thing is taking way too long.

Now that the nominees have been chosen...

Does that mean that there will be no prosecutions before the election?

How does that change the present picture?

Does that mean that the "American people" have decided to just let "democracy" work?

Will "democracy" lose to authoritarianism?

Is this the way a "democracy" is supposed to work?

Trump inherited a really good economy from Barack Obama.

Then immediately proceeded to overheat it with a two-trillion dollar taxcut.

Yes, the unemployment level dropped a little further. They had to invest their taxcuts somewhere.

But there were consequences to such a huge taxcut during prosperous times. It was a big part of the reason for the ensuing inflation. It was Economics 101.

Unfortunately for Trump, his "great" economy only lasted three years. Once the pandemic hit and businesses shut down, he was lost as to what to do? His incompetence shone thru.

Bottom line, his "great" economy was just another part of his "Big Lie".

The photo we have all seen a thousand times...

A photo of the boxes of documents in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

On one box, on the left of the stacks of boxes, it is handwritten, "M-A-L Bedroom"?

Was that box supposed to go to the bedroom at Mar-a-Lago and was misplaced with the other boxes? Was it later moved? Was it one of the boxes that went to the Golf Course in NJ?

In my opinion, it was a little strange to have that one box labeled and none of the others.

Was it stacked there by mistake?

Bob Dylan's 115th Dream

The Justice System has failed America.

Through hyper-partisanship and continuous corruption, they lost their ability, or desire, to interpret the law according to our Constitution.

They chose Party over Country and Constitution.

They did not just put their finger on the scales of justice, they put their entire right arm.

As we edge closer to the edge of autocracy, we are on the verge of losing our democracy.

George Washington warned us of "political Parties". Did he envision a future much like what we are now experiencing?

Republicans stand ready to throw our democracy overboard in their glorification of power. They know that a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.

Will history blame the Democrats for not stopping the assault?

To hell with this fascist Supreme Court and Judge Cannon...!

They are not exponents of justice - they are accomplices in a serious crime. Justice delayed and they know it. They know what happened during the Trump Administration and they choose to cover it up. They know he tried to steal the election. They know he incited a mob to come to Washington on January 6th, 2021. They know he refused to do anything as some Congressmen and Senators and a Vice-President were running for their lives. They know he took boxes and boxes of national secrets with him when he left office. The documents did not belong to the National Archive and the American people. They belonged to him.

How can anyone defend this bullshit?!

According to Trump, "America sucks"

We are a "Third World country".

Nobody respects us anymore.

Criminals are flooding the country.

Nothing will get better unless he is put back in charge.

America needs a strongman.

I guess it doesn't count that Joe Biden led the NATO countries in uniting against Russian aggression in Ukraine?

He asks, "Are you better off now than you were 5 years ago?"

I guess everybody should forget his last year in office and the Covid epidemic, and the attack upon our Capitol, and the stolen secrets that were stashed in Mar-a-Lago, and the attempted coup to overthrow the 2020 election?

We need Donald Trump like we need another hole in the head.

Democrats are not to blame if Trump is put back into the White House.

Although every Democrat should vote and do everything within their power to keep the tyrant out of office.

But if he is still voted back into power, the Republicans are to blame. The Republican Party is to blame. Every Republican is to blame. Even if Democrats wanted to save them, they can only save themselves.

There is no blaming Joe Biden for their decisions. There is no blaming anyone except themselves.

The writing is on the wall. If they refuse to read it, then let them carry the shame and the burden of putting Donald Trump and Putin back into power.

We will all share in his criminality and the mistakes of his policies. But we will not share in the responsibility of putting him back into the White House.
