A segment of Newsmax tonight began with many clips from commentators from both parties saying that Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the word. “All right, enough!” the host finally interjected. “Well, if he is the most powerful person in the world, why can’t he appoint whoever (sic) he wants to prosecute James Comey and Letitia James?”
Well, we do have a few sticking points here.
We have the U.S. Constitution, and 200+ years of rule of law, and the concept that no one is above the law.
And we have the question, “Given that they have taken stances against Trump, why not have them both summarily beheaded?” Given that we no longer have a balance of powers among the supposedly three co-equal branches of government, what’s the big deal?
Three hundred years ago, that’s precisely would have happened to people who took public stances against a king.
We either stand for freedom and loyalty to a constitution — or we don’t. We can’t have it both ways.
Here’s a good reminder of how the United States is regarded today.
No, it’s not how like it was just a few years ago when we were a land of law, and we had allies all around the countries that supported honesty and democracy around the world.
Now, the leaders of Canada, Panama, and Greenland all fear for their safety, and the world lives in fear of the insanity into which the U.S. has descended.
Hardcore Trump supporters are having a great time watching their hero illegally invade other countries and commit whatever moral atrocity he performed the day before.
The rest of the world is in shock over the fact that Trump has turned this country into an authoritarian state.
It’s easy to understand the thinking of the lady in the cartoon here.
As the author of the words at left suggests, the Founding Fathers probably did give us too much credit.
But to be fair, they couldn’t have possibly imagined that the descendants of their countrymen would have, 250 years later, devolved into a nation in which criminal thugs would be held the highest regard by a country full of ignorant and hateful people.
When we Boomers were growing up in the last half of the 20th Century, crime bosses were viewed as scum, even when they somehow avoided dying in prison. Now they have taken over the country, and the greatest of all time lives in the White House.
