Words More Terrifying Than Any Terrorist "If something happens blame him and the court system."
Yes, I know that no one wants to read one of my wordy pieces. But this is too important to trim to a sound bite. This is about you and your kids and your job and your church and your community. No matter how law abiding or well-connected or hard working you are, they are coming for you. If your browser history (which Putin has) indicates that you are a Democrat or Democrat sympathizer, you are in the cross hairs.
“But I’m guilty of nothing!” You may be tempted to reply.
Too fucking bad. Russia, in its infinite greed has declared that we now live under martial law. Most of us just do not know it yet.
“But what about the Constitution?”
What about it?
You think the Constitution protects you from discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity or sexual orientation? Pardon me while I pick myself up from the floor where I am laughing my ass off. That’s better.
Are you thinking about the Constitution that was in place when Blacks, Jews, Catholics and Immigrants across the nation were lynched by mobs of cheerful whites who smiled for the camera? The one that was the rule of the land when minorities were told “We don’t serve your kind here.” The one that protected the victims of McCarthy’s communist witch hunts? The one that did not stop Emmit Till's murderers from going free?
The Constitution is only as fair as the law enforcement that enforces it and the courts that rule upon it. That’s why the New Federalists want to stack the courts with old school jurists—think Jim Crow and Separate but Equal. Think virtual slavery and white rule. The New Federalists do not want to erase everything that FDR did and take us back to the days of the Founders. They want to undo the work the Founders did. They want us to become a monarchy again, with a king---Trump--- who answers only to a handful of oligarchs.
Wanna know how bad things will get under Trump with Sessions in charge of the DOJ and Comey at the helm of the FBI? Ask Martha Stewart, Don Siegelman, Eliot Spitzer and Georgia Thompson. In case you have forgotten Thompson, here is a visual from my old political cartoon site, Grand Theft Election Ohio:
Alberto Gonzales was targeted by the newly Democratic Congressional majority the moment they took control of Congress in 2007 for this kind of political prosecution. What’s to stop Sessions and Comey and all their federal prosecutors and all the local Republican prosecutors across the country from resuming the W. campaign of terror? Nothing. Except our judges, who are under attack from the POTUS himself. Republicans have a rock solid majority in Congress for the next two years.
The state of Texas is already getting ready to start a witch hunt. In response to a court challenge to their draconian Voter ID Law, the state allowed registered voters to sign an affidavit declaring that producing a photo ID presented a barrier to casting a lawful. Now, Texas law enforcement has signaled that it plans to selectively prosecute those who used this process. And guess where they are going to start? That’s right, the Democratic stronghold of Houston.

There will probably be some cases forwarded to prosecutors in Texas' largest county, which includes Houston.
Stan Stanart, who oversees Harris County elections, said he believes some people who signed affidavits committed perjury and lied about forgetting their photo ID.
"I suspect there were a number of people purposely breaking the law," he said. "Can you prove it in a court? Probably not without a serious investigation or a lot of legwork."
Who will get the “serious investigation” and “leg work”. Black voters. Latino voters. Muslim voters. And, if you happen to be a Democrat with a Hillary bumper sticker on your car, white voters.
There is supposed to be one law for everyone in the United States, but that’s not what Trump and his supporters think. For example, last summer Newt Gingrich raised a shit storm when he called upon the House to recreate an Un-American Activities Committee.

"They know what is going on," Trump said during a speech Monday in New Hampshire. "They know that (the Orlando killer) was bad. They knew the people in San Bernardino were bad. But you know what, they didn't turn them in, and we had death and destruction."
“Greater account”? Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that one group shall be held to a “greater account” than another. That’s from the GOP/Trump playbook.
The only thing standing in the way of political witch hunts are our nation’s judges. But now even they are under attack. The Republicans illegally blocked Obama’s nominee to the SCOTUS. And Trump has declared open season on judges who oppose his racist, hateful, illegal executive decrees.

“’If something happens, blame him.'”
You hear that judges? Trump and his jack booted automatic rifle toting met-amphetamine abusing base know where you live. And they are now under orders from their President to “blame you.” No wonder Trump got so flustered when asked to denounce anti-Semitic violence. The proponents of anti-Semitic violence are his foot soldiers in the battle to Make America Great Again.
“If something happens, blame him and the court system.”
No Trump. I blame you. And so does every true American. And as long as we have freedom of speech and of the press, we will call you out for your Un-American Activities. Loudly. In the streets. On the Internet. Yes, we know that you could select any one of us at any moment for "serious investigation" and more "leg work." Bring it on. We are the true spiritual descendants of Tom Paine who wrote in his Common Sense:
He wrote it about King George, but he also wrote it about you, Donald Trump.
