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.
It’s possible that Americans are so angry that the Trump administration has ruined their country and its democracy that paid advertising for Republican candidates is having no effect on them.
We can only hope.
Obviously, the endorsement of a much-despised president didn’t help, but what chance did this election-denying moron actually have in a sophisticated state like Minnesota?
One good thing about having Trump in the White House is that doesn’t have enough sense to hide what a terrible person he is.
We all recall the COVID-19 outbreak, and Trump’s suggestion that we reduce our testing for the disease on the basis that less testing means fewer positive results, which means less outrage on the level of Trump’s ineptitude in handling the epidemic.
