OK, I’m tired of writing about Trump, but now that he’s our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING four times indicted 34 times found GUILTY of a FELONY owing $90 Million for sexual assault (ex) president, I have to put my “two cents” in. I was actually driving around running errands all day today and called a friend who immediately said, “I know you’re going to gloat.” Well, the first thought that crossed my mind was my fantasy baseball team must have somehow gained a bunch of points today. (Actually, it had LOST 5 points – which is, well, a LOT) Then he broke the news to me.

TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS! I was like, are you kidding? The jury’s only been meeting for about 10 or 11 hours. I was thinking it would take a couple more days to convince the juror who got his “news” on Trump’s fake social media outlet not to blow up the entire case and cause a mistrial. So, I was kind of blindsided with the news because one of the last two things on my “bucket list” is to live long enough to see Trump put behind bars. I’m tempted to write a letter to Judge Merchan encouraging him to give Trump AT LEAST the equivalent sentence which Michael Cohen served for, in essence, the same CRIME. I mean, when you think about it, Trump CHEATED even more than we knew at the time to “win” the election in 2016.

I have no idea how many MAGA faithful show up on this site, but I’d love to hear from one of them as to whether it bothers them TRUMP has been found guilty of, basically, CHEATING to “win” in 2016 – and, I’m not talking about conspiring with the Russians and other foreign entities. It seems the dictator class around the world (along with their oligarchs) they just don’t care much for democrats – or more specifically democracy. (Pretty much like America’s oligarchs) Trump is the PERFECT foil in their years long attempt to undermine America’s democratic republic. Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, MBS, Kim Jung Un etc. are all bound and determined to use “we the people’s” open society against us. And, they’ve been – to me, unbelievably – successful.

The most important thing these conspirators count on is the large number of – as Trump called them – America’s “uneducated voters.” All you have to do is listen to the rationale of some of the MAGA faithful – if you happen to be someone who seeks out actual FACTS when you make your opinions – to realize how – I want to say STUPID – but, I hate that word and I think a better term is radicalized, er brainwashed these people really are. (They would say the same thing about me – but, the MAGAts are all about projection) Think I’m speaking in hyperbole? Just take a few minutes to listen to/watch Fox “news,” or “Newsmax,” Steve Bannon’s podcast, or other right wing “news” outlets. Whenever I attempt to give Fox a bit of my time I don’t last even five minutes – it’s just pure propaganda bulls@#$t!

I’m not going to watch Fox right now, because I don’t have to. I logged into MSNBC for about an hour once I got home and they did all the work for me – showing segments from multiple Fox shows, shows on “Newsmax” and likely all across the MAGA grifting network. Their message to the minions: It’s outrageous Trump is bound to the same laws as you and me! America’s going to hell! We’ve become a “Banana Republic!” I’ve even (somehow) received emails and “snail mail” from Trump recently asking for money. The one I got in mail box made me an offer where if I would send money to Trump I’d get a “free” Trump $2 bill worth “$39.99 plus $6.99 for shipping.” I’m not kidding. My first thought as I was throwing the letter in the garbage was, “Are people really STUPID enough to fall for this?” My guess is the answer is yes.

Here’s the deal. Republicans – especially the Evangelical Christian variety – like Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell Jr., etc. – long ago proved the “Access Hollywood” video meant nothing to them. The FACT Trump paid off TWO women he had affairs with while Melania was nursing Barron means nothing to them. The fact 25 different women have accused Trump of sexually assaulting them – he, of course, says they’re ALL liars – although, the first one to take him to court won a multi million $ judgement against him where the jury found he had sexually assaulted her (the judge said, “In New York” the verdict was the equivalent ( or words to that affect) of rape, means NOTHING to them. Trump bragged about being able to just grab women by the “pussy” – “When you’re famous they’ll just let you do it.” (Talk about seeing women as “sex objects”)

None of the above means “Jack Squat” to Graham, Falwell, and MILLIONS of America’s so-called “Evangelical Christian” class, because, well, Trump supports white supremacy. It’s pretty much as simple as that. If you’d take the time to read “Rising out of Hatred” by Eli Saslow you’d get a good inside look at the heart of the white nationalist/supremacy movement in this country. Don Black and David Duke (both former “Grand Wizards of the KKK) were quoted in an article I read, right after I finished the book, as saying Trump is their “vehicle” to penetrate “mainstream politics” in America. Black’s son Derek (who the book is about) has said his Mom and Dad record(ed) Tucker Carlson when he was still on Fox so they could play it back over and over again. Apparently, America’s “Evangelical Christians” are OK with this! Yikes!

In the case of THIS trial, the issue was Trump’s adulterous affairs with “Stormy Daniels” and Karen McDougal at the approximate time when his youngest son was born – maybe a few months later, and then paying each over $100,000 to “catch and kill” their stories. And, naturally Trump – via his lawyers – never had sex with either of them – in the trial, especially Stormy Daniels. As usual he was claiming Ms. Daniels testimony was all a lie. Of course, he also claimed Michael Cohen’s (his former “fixer” who was sentenced to 3 years in prison for the same crime done “at the direction of and for the benefit of “individual 1” I’ll let you figure out who that might be) testimony was all a lie. Guess what? The jury believed BOTH of them!

I can’t help but feel a bit bad for Trump because he’s forking out MILLIONS to attorneys who don’t seem capable of defending him without succumbing to his demands. By all accounts his attorneys in this case were pretty awful. They kept tripping all over themselves as they tried to defend the indefensible. And, here’s my prediction: If they haven’t been fired already they will be soon and we’ll be hearing about Trump’s refusal to pay them. He keeps asking, “where is my Roy Cohn?” (A mob lawyer who represented Joseph McCarthy back in the day) The New York “bar” stripped Cohn of his law license, but that’s immaterial to Trump.

After watching the commentary of this trial and reading about the Civil Trial were Trump was “slapped” with a nearly $500 MILLION judgement (for serial fraudulent activity in his business – including Tax fraud – surprise surprise) it appears Trump’s lawyers made gross mistakes regarding his chances of success on appeal – which, with Trump, is a given. And, keep in mind, all this recent court activity for our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING four times INDICTED, and, now, 32 times CONVICTED of FELONIES (ex) president (phew) took place in New York – where it’s highly unlikely has compatriots on the SCOTUS (Alito and Thomas) will be able to, ultimately, come to his rescue. Right now, he’s at the mercy of Judge Merchan who will be doling out the sentence. If he escapes this without jail time he will have proven we DO have a two tiered Justice system.

Think of all the people who are sitting in jail for the outrageous crime of being African American (with a family history dating back MANY MANY generations more than Trump (a second generation immigrant from, you guessed it, Germany). Maybe they got caught driving with the smell of marijuana in their car while a taillight was out, or maybe they simply flipped off a cop, or maybe, like the “Central Park Five” they were just a convenient way to “solve” a case and had to rely on a public defender for their defense of “trumped up” charges. (Pun intended) Our jails are chock full of non-violent “offenders” who just happen NOT to be “white.” (And, I know “white” people without the means to hire lawyers who have spent time in jail for “stuff” someone like Trump would NEVER end up in court over.)

Final Thought: Trump has “friends in high places” – ie judges, who may be able to pull off “saving” him regarding the 54 FELONY charges he’s still facing. The case in Georgia will be a miracle to ever end up in trial because the Georgia republican party really doesn’t like a Black FEMALE prosecutor indicting him – they’re pulling out all the “stops” in order to undermine that case – it’s now in the hands of Georgia’s Supreme Court. And, of course, unless you’ve had your head in the sand you know Sam Alito has now officially confirmed he’s a Trump loyalist along with Clarence Thomas on the SCOTUS. In that instance it will only take THREE of the remaining judges (the exact number put on the Court by Trump) to grant him authority the Constitution CLEARLY doesn’t give him – “absolute immunity!” – would be an absurd joke if it wasn’t so serious.

I’ve predicted since the court mysteriously accepted to hear Trump’s absurd claim on appeal after the D.C. Circuit appeals court made, by all accounts, an airtight ruling AGAINST Trump’s claim of “absolute immunity.” It was curious to many why the SCOTUS would even grant “cert” on the appeal – but, people like me were predicting, at the time, it was to make sure the case didn’t go to trial prior to the November election. Therefore both Alito and Thomas could be helping to facilitate “the steal.” The next big firestorm re: Trump will be when the SCOTUS remands the “January 6th” case back to the District Court (meaning the entire appeal process will happen once again. Plus, the Court will rule – with an opinion by Alito – that charging defendants with “interfering with an official proceeding” in the January 6th case, is “unconstitutional.” This will wipe out TWO of the FOUR felony charges against Trump in the January 6th case. Stay tuned……..
