(7,462 posts)I want to see live coverage of a real trial with a real jury and it needs to happen NOW, to have already happened.
Okay.....I get it.......even if there is a trial it won't be covered live....there's no precedent for the trying of an ex-president. Will it all be pushed off until the mid-terms?
Everybody in the world needs to see the US federal government clean its own mess up. Can't count on the USSC to faithfully decide in the favor of justice since they're OBVIOUSLY political. Still, they are almost certain to be the final word on the matter. How does that make you feel? Do you feel like you've been hit in the stomach again? Like you did the morning when you woke to find that Trump was elected? Maybe it's just indigestion from all the lying propaganda we've swallowed for so many decades. Like when you uncover the layers of this country's history to find, at the bottom of it all, preserved like a holy relic, evidence of a dark secret that no one should ever keep. The scent of an evil which hid itself behind a mask. The masked lie upon which our nation was founded.
The lie is that our founders accomplished the formation of a functional democracy. Democracy cannot exist where people are enslaved and women are 2nd class citizens. Democracy exists only when and where every citizen's vote is counted and every citizen votes. Without the shroud of "electors" or the fraud of voting district boundaries. It's because of these perversely extraneous institutionalizations that we find ourselves at this impasse without a means to move toward safe and solid ground, somewhere beyond violence. Living in a fear of the jungle's inconvenience, we just trudge along into our sad containment.
