Shari,
I’m hoping you are as appalled at the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision as I.

For the love of everything you hold dear, PLEASE, keep Donald Trump out of the White House! What I said, in another thread, about voting for Dick Cheney is absolutely true — and, in light of this ruling, I don’t trust ANY Republican, and certainly not him, 100%. But, I would have no choice, under those hypothetical circumstances, except to trust him not to take advantage of this ruling because I know, with every fiber of my being, that Donald Trump WILL — and not in a way that would be good for our country, left, right or center.

Conversely, there is no doubt that Joe Biden will not take advantage (proof is Trump’s continued freedom, to this day) and, if we give him a Democratic House and Senate, he will do everything in his power to, somehow, right this wrong.
With equal certainty, I can promise that Donald Trump will turn this country into something resembling Putin’s Russia and abandon the American Experiment, once and for all. The Court has set us up to be ruled by fiat, and not by We the People, with this and their abandonment of the Chevron Doctrine, last Friday.

We fought a revolution against the concept of royalty — or that any man is above the law — for a reason. With this decision, the Supreme Court has nullified our Constitution and given one man absolute power.

While they’ve got you worried about the LGBTQ community “grooming” your children (AS IF that’s how it works), DEI, CRT and other nonsensical garbage, they’ve been grooming you to accept an authoritarian dictator who is guaranteed to rip away the rights of those scary gay and non-white people and save the day. What they’re not telling you is that, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but, one day in the not-too-distant future, they’ll be coming for your rights, too.

If they can do it to “them” they WILL, eventually, do it to you. Sound familiar?

If you haven’t, already, please read Project 2025 and you will see for yourself how the Court’s recent decisions fit with Project 2025’s program. They just came out and promised a “bloodless revolution” as long as the Democrats don’t put up a fight.

I would have bet the Court was going to kick the details of the immunity case down the road until after the election so they would know who they’re rewriting the Constitution for, and, in a way, they have. But, your “side” needs to be aware that, with this ruling, I could easily argue the case that Trump and, at least, four conservative justices, are a clear and present danger to democracy, the American People and the Constitution, and Joe Biden should assemble Seal Team 6, himself. Un/fortunately, Joe Biden is a far more decent human being than I’ll ever be and, I doubt he would conceive of such a thing, let alone, carry it out (though, I bet Dick Cheney would — and, I’d still vote for him if those hypothetical MAGA Democrats were as violent and nuts as the Republican version).

But, that’s always been my number one complaint when it comes to Biden, he, literally, doesn’t have the “killer instinct.”
On the upside, because of this ruling, the January 6th case gets kicked back to the original court where, rumor has it, Jack Smith will be presenting his entire case, minus the one paragraph that SCOTUS already ruled an “official act” under their, new, entirely made-up law that has no foundation, whatsoever, in the Constitution of this country.
So, there will be facts about Trump and all of his criminal activity surrounding January 6th finally coming out and he will be making statements refuting those facts on the campaign trail but will, still, be unable to repeat those statements in an actual courtroom for the same reason he could not repeat his statements on his own behalf during the New York fraud trial — because that would be perjury.

I haven’t heard any feedback from right wing media, yet. Somehow, I doubt their hair is flaming today — I hope it is — but, if they’re smug at Corporate Central, know that they’re comfortably assuming they’ll have their way 100%, and soon, if Donald Trump gets back into office.

You think Biden is feeble minded? Have you watched an entire Trump rally recently and listened to what he is saying when he goes off script? Compare rallies from 2016, 2020 and now, then tell me how much more concerning your guy has become. Keep in mind, Alzheimer’s runs in his family…and, most of the people surrounding/controlling him are, like him, convicted felons with fascist fantasies.

Not only do you need to LISTEN to what Trump is saying, you need to hear what he ISN’T saying: He promises to suspend the Constitution on day one — last I looked, that’s where the Second Amendment is located, you might want to clarify that detail before you send him back to the seat of power. At a recent rally, Trump claimed you won’t have to vote for him again in four years — maybe you heard that he won’t seek a third term but, what I heard is that he’s never leaving office. Furthermore, we know, for a fact, that he’s, already, tried that.
You think you were better off four years ago?

His mismanagement of COVID is estimated to have cost an additional 300,000 American lives; his glacial response to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria is estimated to have cost an additional one thousand American lives; his criminal activity on January 6th cost five American lives and injury to more than 150 police officers, not to mention the hundreds of lives ruined by the crimes committed on behalf of his LIES.
Sinclair Lewis famously said, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible.” Trump has, literally wrapped himself in the flag and, literally held up a Bible to impress upon you his undying faith and patriotism — when he possesses neither. It’s an act and always has been. Your beloved host of a “reality” show never existed, just a shell of a human, pretending to be real and, after enough takes, pulling it off.

Show me a civilization, anywhere in history, where the people banning books turned out to be the good guys.
You’re being set up and, ordinarily, I’d pop some corn, kick back and enjoy the show but, this time, you’re endangering the entire country — and there’s nothing funny or amusing about that.

Finally, any political party, politician or religious leader who tells you that “woke” is a bad thing, is literally telling you to go to sleep if you want to be “good.”

If you think it’s bad for us now, you ain’t seen nothing, yet.

Please, wake up.
