28. Should We Really Be Surprised?

Fri Aug 4, 2023, 07:05 PM

Aug 2023

1) We know that Donald Trump is a pathological liar - 30K+ lies while in office
2) Donald Trump did not uphold his Oath of Office, and incited am insurrection against the very government / constitution he swore to protect and defend.
3) Donald Trump did to his Oath of Office exactly what he did to his marriage vows to Melania Trump - he broke them.
4) Without a legal leg to stand on, Donald Trump is in survival mode, and will do whatever he thinks will best ascertain his chances for survival.
5) So - knowing Donald Trump after putting up with him for what seems like an eternity now, can we really be surprised?

And finally - why the HECK don't we lock him up already? The judge has the right and the authority to do that, doesn't he???
