Lie, Rinse, and Repeat

"Crooked Joe Biden and the Leftist Democrat Thugs have weaponized the Justice Department to prosecute the candidate that is 50 points ahead in the polls"...

How many times have we heard that worn-out line?

"I have done nothing wrong but the Deranged Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ are trying to defeat us with election interference".

Over and over, we are forced to listen to these lies.

Just as reporters are lulled into believing they can get him to say something that isn't a lie. They do not understand that he will lie with every statement that he makes, especially if he is permitted to expand upon it, and they cannot have a "list" of questions to go to until they clean up each and every answer that he gives. They fall into the trap.

The problem is that his supporters listen to every word that he says. When he tells the same lie over and over, and is not challenged, they tend to believe him. This presents a problem in finding a jury pool that has not heard his lies and many that believe them.

Boebert's Apology

Do you believe that Boebert would take it upon herself to apologize for anything?

Unless she was advised and ordered to by her Leadership in the House? And Marjorie Taylor Green was most likely at the front of the line to request that McCarthy speak to her and get it cleaned up?

After all, they don't want a member making them look bad in the eyes of the public...

Boebert is a bad card to draw to, especially in the next election. She brings nothing positive to the game.

The "apology" shows that she is on thin ice and she knows it.

Trump will attempt to take his "free speech" case to the Supreme Court.

He is desperate for delay.

But he will lose.

On the 25th of this month, Judge Chutkan will remind him that he is a defendant in a criminal case and he does not have the right to defame the witnesses, the judges, the prosecutors, the jurors, or the process, in the public sphere. Because of the charges against him, his speech is limited to some degree. He is not permitted to threaten the jury pool or the process for his personal political benefit.

It is a very limited demand for Mr Trump. He can still criticize and call names to whomever he wishes, but he cannot defame anyone that is connected to the case against him. He does not have the right to defame or try to influence the legal process, such as polluting the jury pool.

In my opinion, the Judge should warn him that if he continues to exhibit such language and behavior, he will be held in contempt of court. He will have been duly warned.

If he still continues his reckless and lawless behavior, then the court should be ready to lock him up for a period of time. If they are not ready to take this final step, then they should not take the first step.

Donald Trump cannot get a fair trial in this country... Maybe he should be tried in the World Court?

Trump says he cannot get a "fair trial" in this country and he may be right?
(The reason he cannot get a "fair trial" is not because of any prosecutor or political leader, it is because he alone has polluted the jury pool that prevents the people from getting a "fair trial".)

Perhaps he should be tried at the Hague. Jack Smith is already familiar with the Organization and could continue the prosecution there.

It is unprecedented for our country to prosecute a former president. With the division and potential for violence, our country needs another option, in my opinion.

The Hague would be the perfect place to try a criminal like Donald Trump.

He Will Set Your Fields On Fire

Someone turned over a rock...

...and gave it oxygen, gave it encouragement, gave it nourishment, and gave it life.

The seeds of authoritarianism were planted.

The monsters of hate, division, and partisan ignorance were released upon the nation, unlike any we had seen in a long, long time, if ever.

There is no room for rationalization or compromise. They must be defeated. Hopefully, it will be done at the polls.

They must be swept back under the rocks and deprived of oxygen and nourishment, in order for our country to survive and continue as a democracy.

Has Trump already polluted the jury pool?

Because he has criticized each and every prosecutor and judge in each of his four indictments.

Also, he has criticized Jack Smith, the Special Counsel, and Joe Biden's DOJ.

Just one of those criticisms would have been enough to pollute the jury pool, in my opinion.

And I suppose he has no plans on stopping his verbal assaults anytime before any trial?

It's going to be a real task to try and find an unbiased jury, in my opinion.
