If you vote Republican, you are a friggin' fool!

No ifs, ands, or buts...

First of all, they are chicken shits. They could not stand up for this country if their lives depended on it... and they probably do.

They are spineless liars. They have no shame. They admit it.

They are part of a mindless cult.

Anyone that would defend the Republican Party can never be trusted to do anything right.

They are worthless.

Republicans disappear in silence...

If they are silent, perhaps no one will notice?

God forbid they speak any criticism of their insane leader.

He can be as sacrilegious as he wants - they will say nothing. He can hawk Bibles and brag about how many he has in his golden temple. No problem.

He can be as violent as he desires. He can portray his political opponent as hog-tied in the back of a pick-up truck with a bullet hole in the head. No problem. It's best they remain silent.

He can threaten our freedoms and the rule of law and Republicans have no problem. Unless it is about the border or Hunter Biden's computer, they have nothing to say.

May they remain silent when it is their lifeless bodies piled in the back of pick-up trucks. May their families never be exposed to the violence they support with their silence.

Two more weeks of Turmoil and Tinfoil...

(with all apologies to Billy Strings)

But, two weeks from today, a jury is scheduled to be selected for the criminal ex-President. The heat has not been this close before. And his behavior is all the proof that we need.

What will he do to delay the upcoming trial? Will he finally go before a "jury of his peers"? In fact, they are not his "peers", but a jury of citizens chosen by our system of law enforcement.

I suppose it was "a propos" for April Fools Day to follow Easter this year? The "fool" spent the religious weekend ranting and raving and attempting to stay on the rails.

The time has come. He is not a King. He is not royalty. He is nothing more than an ex-President. And the debate should be had about what benefits should be allotted to ex-presidents? There was a time when ex-presidents, before Harry Truman, did not receive pensions and attention now afforded scumbags like Drumpf. Do those laws need to be changed again?

He is due no special attention from anyone, especially our Justice System. If he breaks the law, he should be held accountable, just like any other normal citizen. That needs to be pounded into the brains of the American people, I suppose?

He has been permitted to make a mockery of our justice system and our democracy. That must end if we are to survive as a free people.

More important than the Trump Trial, the jury system itself is on trial.

Justice and the jury system is a cornerstone of our democracy. It cannot be destroyed without destroying our system of government.

It is time for folks to open their eyes and see what is at stake?

The twice-impeached, four-times indicted, former president is nothing more than a citizen. Calling him a "citizen" is actually being charitable. Average "citizens" cannot get away with what this criminal has already done to our justice system.

Lest we forget, he is out of jail on bond. Rather than discuss the merits of a gag order, or not, he should be made to adhere to the conditions of his bail bond. It does not permit him to threaten or incite violence against anyone, not even members of the court. His "free speech" rights give him the freedom to "criticize", but criticism is not to be confused with violent threats.

The justice system must defend itself at this time. Mr Trump has just about run out of "stern warnings". It is time to act.

A weekend in jail would not only be appropriate for Mr Trump, but it would do a world of good for his supporters, also, to see him behind bars.

The April 15th date is rapidly approaching...

... and Drumpf is panicking. The Judge has announced that that is the day his trial will begin.

And Drumpf is not ready for any trial. The secret to his success has been to stay out of trials.

The Court has ruled that both, Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, are eligible to testify.

No doubt, Drumpf and his lawyers will do their usual hatchet jobs on their character. But, knowing the type of character that Cohen has been in the past, the jury would probably not give a lot of weight to any character assassination attempt. As someone duly noted, Boy Scouts and Sunday School teachers do not make the best witnesses.

It appears that Drumpf is trying to force the hand of the Judge into some sort of pre-trial judgement or punishment?

They should give him a stern warning at this time. April 15th is very close. The odor will become unbearable.

Justice is afraid they will make a "martyr" out of TSF.

I heard an "expert" say that on MSNBC last night.

If he wants to be a martyr to these people (his supporters) that he despises, then let him be their martyr. He would be a worthless martyr. He would be a fake martyr.

That does not seem like a legitimate reason not to hold him accountable to the laws of this country, in my opinion.

Folks that would make a martyr out of a con-man and liar are not to be respected in any degree.

There is a fear of the truth...

Because people do not want to make their friends angry. So they pull their punches. They do not want to say, "Yes, you are stupid." "Yes, you are naive and gullible." "Yes, you are part of a cult." Because, they know it would do no good. So, the truth only darts within the shadows.

They do not say that Donald Trump is a hypocrite of the highest order. He has never read the Bible or the Constitution. Yet, he pretends... and few challenge him on his hypocrisy, because his cult believes he was sent by God.

They do not tell their friends that Donald Trump knew he lost the election. He knew he could tell his naive followers anything and they would believe him.

He is an outlaw. - outside all boundaries of the laws of this country. And all the leaders, and the Justice Dept, want the voters to make a bet they would never make in the real world. They want the people to vote on whether or not more people will believe the lies of Donald Trump or will look at the facts right in front of their noses? It is not a sure bet. It is a gamble. More voters may actually believe the "lie" over everything. It is a bet that never should have been taken.

You hope and pray you do not lose your bet on the American people. That they will be wise enough to see thru the lies and propaganda. That is a huge bet.

Should Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland maintain their silence?

Even with Judges speaking up about the danger posed by Donald J Trump?

Should they make any sort of statement? What if Chris Wray were to say that "Donald Trump has been warned about threatening violence against officers of the Court and he should not act surprised when the FBI shows up at his door."

Merrick Garland could make a simple statement that "every American citizen lives under the same laws and Donald Trump is no exception".

But we have heard nothing. As the American justice system is under attack, the guardians are silent.

It does not instill a lot of confidence.

The time is moving too quickly for Trump...

Just 18 days until his jury appointment. It will be here too soon for him.

On top of that, his $175 million bond is rapidly approaching.

How can he delay his trial this time? Call in sick? He is about to run out of delays and connections.

For a grifter of his stature, selling Bibles would be embarrassing to most con-men, but wherever he can scrape up a dollar is alright with him.

They say "April is the cruelest month". The Grifter is about to find out.

I do not hold much respect for these so-called "Republicans" that criticize Trump...

...but still remain part of that Party.

They just can't bring themselves to leave that sick organization or to ever vote for Joe Biden or a Democrat. They are still clinging to the hem of his garment. They cannot totally cut the cord to that sick cult.

They are still part of the problem. They are still helping to create the division in this country. Ronna McDaniel is only the latest example. She was going to pretend that she was divorced from Trump and the Republicans and was ready to work for the NBC network. But, too many saw thru her scam from the beginning.

Republicans are not helping America, and certainly are not helping the Democrats, in resolving this attack upon our democracy. They are only prolonging any solution by continuing to cling to that decadent and criminal organization called the GOP.

Very few are showing any courage.
