Time of the Preacher

April 29, 2024

A quote from Solzhenitsyn:

'The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie."

"One word of truth outweighs the world."

Some guy on TV said Trump could murder someone on steps of White House and he would still vote for him.

There is something about a cult where they can never find fault with their leader.

That would explain why none of the charges against him bother them at all.

Although a proven liar, they will believe him above everyone else.

All the Leader needs to do is to say he "did nothing wrong" and continue his normal routine as if he is innocent of all charges. They need no more proof.

Just pretend innocence.

Remember when Trump assassinated the Iranian "General" with a missile?

...near the end of his Administration, as I recall?

Iran threatened revenge. Who knows? Maybe the present violence in the Gaza and elsewhere can be tied to that assassination?

But, he was not terribly criticized by the Democrats for his actions. I assume they thought it was part of his "official" duties, unlike the attack upon our Capitol, or the fraudulent electoral ballots, or the theft of national secrets?

These were all crimes of a "personal" nature, meant to help Donald Trump stay in power.

Why does the Supreme Court have such a difficult time with this obvious distinction?

I have come to the conclusion that "stupid cannot be fixed".

And the more you try to reason with them, or confront them, the more firm they become in their stupidity. The most recent polls seem to confirm this theory.

It is a waste of time, and mental health, to attempt any communication with them. For me personally, I have slowly come to realize that the more I challenge them, the stronger they become in their support of Trump and opposed to all Democratic Party ideas.

Therefore, I have decided, that the problem is now in the courts and it is up to them to decide. Also, it seems to me that the courts may be part of the cult and stupidity problem that defines the present Republican Party.

As I tend to my own personal health, it seems that this is nothing more than a huge cover-up, going all the way up to the Supreme Court. We are witnessing the largest cover-up in American history.

I have tried to offer the truth and the facts as I see them, but it is now up to the Courts to decide if the laws still apply to Republican politicians?

I have no more to give.

Protection and Cover-Up Racket

The Republican Party has signed on to protect and to cover-up the crimes of Donald Trump. If they can steal the next election, they will. From the bottom to the top, their goal is to protect Donald Trump and to ignore any and all crimes he may have committed. Why?

Because they believe Joe Biden and the "progressive agenda" are worse than a criminal and a sociopathic dictator. Their propaganda machine has been very effective.

There is no logic or reason to their thinking. There is no communicating with them. It is a battle for the soul of America. We can fight them at the polls or we can fight them in the streets. Everyone should vote, or America may change in a very dramatic fashion.

Why Trump is not attacking Pecker?

Because Pecker has a lot more evidence on Trump that he is not talking about. If he were to open up, it would be devastating for Trump.

Trump is very happy with what has been made public up to this point, in my opinion.

Because, he does not attack those that support him or those that can be of benefit to him or those that can possibly compromise him.

He attacks those that are not on his side or those that are in a position to threaten him in the future.

I have a hunch that Pecker has done a lot of favors for Trump that have not been reported?

Personal actions vs official actions?

This seems to be the thrust of Trump's entire defense.

Surely, it was a "personal" decision to sit for 3 hours and do nothing as insurrectionists were attacking our Capitol?

If he had ordered the National Guard to shoot to kill, and 200 of the rioters had been killed, then that would have been an "official" decision?

Surely it was an "official" decision when he ordered his people to make fraudulent ballots to try and steal an election, since he was still President at the time?

Of course, it would have been a private, "personal" decision to pay off people before the election because he was still a private citizen when the decision was made. It was not an "official" action.

In reality, it is nothing more than an attempt to muddy the waters and confuse any jurors that might be asked to judge his actions.

In an attempt to justify his criminal actions, he wants people to divide them into private vs official duties of the President. If they were private or personal action, then they are not important to any criminal investigation. If the crimes were committed while he was president, then he is immune from any prosecution, because they were all part of his official duties.

Confused yet?
