The Emperor Is Not Only Naked

He’s a toddler with a shotgun. And the world knows it, even if we can’t say it. I wonder if he’ll sleep with it? It’s a fair question. If Trump is not repudiated by the Congress (the only body that can do it), what keeps the next President from doing what he did? Especially when a Republican returns to the White House? What’s the check then? Not getting re-elected? That’s hardly enough, is it?

This isn’t about the immunity decision. This is Congress’s burden. For the first time in history, they need to remove a President from office, ban his ever returning (don’t give the Supremes the chance to rewrite the 22nd Amendment. I’m not sure they won’t rewrite the first clause of the 14th.), and thereby make clear to Vance he can be removed, too. This president must be shamed and his place historically marred so that the lesson is, actions such as his are not tolerated by the government formed under this Constitution.

Or we might as well pack it in, and recognize we couldn’t keep the Republic after all.
Because Mockler is right. Already, telling the truth is indistinguishable from mockery:

  1. The Thought Criminal2:48 AM

    FIFA has pretty much always been a petty criminal organization all along so it's no surprise they'd do this to suck up to the most successful conman in modern history.
    The collective American culture, its mind, has been so damaged by entertainment media that it is incapable of understanding or appreciating the horror and danger of Trump and his ilk. That was true when Nixon was reelected to a dangerous extent but it's gotten worse since then and in that period, progressively, the American media has totally abandoned any semblance of journalism as that was supposed to be, any service to the country (Reagan got rid of the public service requirement for the mass media, the media with real impact). All of those late 18th century assumptions about that are disproved, dead. All of those idiotic liberal-libertarian beliefs from free speech absolutism to the elevation of pop culture over education to the idiotic idea that the worst ideas deserved a chance to gain traction and dominate and succeed or democracy was in peril are dead. The one thing that is necessary for democracy to not decay into what we're in now, equality of People, has to be the predominant legal idea or the oligarchs and white supremacists will use their freedom to destroy democracy. And the idiotic idea that anti-democratic ideologies and ideas and claims and, especially, lies "deserved" that chance to destroy People and the truth and everything is what brought us here.
