Felons

So here is a question.

Can a felon legally run for a public office? Generally, No...

Can a felon legally run for US President?

Well, here we are in a second Trump term....

I did the ole Google search about Trump and his arsenal... here is what AI stated:
"AI Overview

The premise of the question contains two critical distinctions: the status of Donald Trump as a private citizen versus his constitutional role as President and Commander-in-Chief, and the difference between private ownership of a firearm and the control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. "

So my question is this...

Whats the difference if a felon has a possession of a weapon or can order someone to use a weapon?

Both, uses thought.
Both, can be dangerous.
Both, uses the means of the firing pin to be pulled.

How did we get away from high crimes and misdemeanors??????

Pete Hegseth Drug Boats Orders

So if we shoot first ask questions later, or in this administration, shoot first and never ask questions.... what to stop them to pull all convicted drug runners/pushers and kill them on the spot? Its apparent, that rule of law does not exist in this country.

Especially when the US President is a convicted Felon....

Its just alarming to hear that the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth wants the kill them all when the boats are blown up. Where is the Law?

History is repeating itself

The night of the Long Knifes has begun last month and we are experiencing the windfall of what Germany experienced the 30s. We all know we cannot reason with these people, they must be denazified to see what they have done.

Question now is, who is next?

Who is in their way?

Who is scared of Trumps New Army

I am referring to his Nazi Party of tracking people down for anyone saying anything negative against his Boy Kirk.

Threat is a threat.

Laws are Laws.

We have Freedoms ....

Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Speech.

If the government takes our rights away, we do not have a Government and what laws empowers those who abuse the peoples rights, forfeit their office.

History

When Nazi Germany had their propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels promoting the idealogies of the Nazi Party, it created the Holocaust.

Seeds start from idealogys and getting the well of the people to take those idealogys is a means to get ones desires of wants.

Goebbels was a Master of promoting Nazi Idealogys to the German people; no matter if truth is valid.

In todays politics, truth is power, as always have been. Once you control the truth, you control the people.

What ever politics you follow and/or align with, it is your understanding of what you proceive is the truth if information you received.

Either from word of mouth, family upbringing is a classic case of what they were taught about politics, to your news channels you listen to.

Unfortunately in rural America, society of poor and those places of work that have their radio set to fox news, due to the only radio stations available on the open air radio ways.

Propaganda is how the right wing is getting their messages to the masses. It is the settle talk radio commentary that got us where we as a nation of hate. This must stop.

How did we over come Nazi Germany? Spreading the TRUTH of their lies to their own people and by force. Today, Germany does not want the Nazi Idealogys back, for the lived it.

Joseph Goebbels committed suicide and was probably spared the hangman noose, as he was on the wanted list as a Nazi criminal.

Mirror todays time of what is happening... correlations is present of Nazi Germany and USA....

Double Jeopardy

We know of the cases where an immigrant has had an issue in their past and had slap of the wrist punishment as fines or such, but the Trump Administration is opening those cases as such as means to expel them out of the country over small infractions, as simple as a jaywalking ticket. Number of issues that a trial lawyer could deploy to stop stupidity.

1. Double Jeopardy. A person cannot receive additional punishment for a crime for which they have already been served or been convicted. Fifth Amendment.

2. Statue of Limitations. I am sure a jaywalking ticket 15 years ago is out of statue of limitations for the government to imply additional charges for the same offense.

3. Due process. Lacking in this administration.

Its a road that a path this administration is taking and we all fought a fascist war against the Nazis that the Trump Administration is using the same elements of Nazis ideologies.

We all know, the road is going to get far worst in the future. Buckle up!

Guns and the Trumpers

So here I sit and relax reading headlines and this headline pops up from ABC NEWS,
"DOJ mulling rule that may restrict transgender individuals from owning guns"

So, all of those years of the gun nuts beating on their chest Democrats will take your guns away... and here today we have this....

These nuts are showing their true colors...

Next election will be a landslide for the LEFT.

Trumps Flag Burning Ban

1. His order is unconstitutional, but will be put to the test on our Judical System.

2. We ALL SHOULD NOT BURN our US FLAG. No matter what statement you are expressing. Rather we burn the MAGA Flags!

BURN THE MAGA FLAGS. Even the BLUE LINE US FLAGS. Those are NOT US FLAGS and in my opinion a disgrace to our National Flag.

Want to make a statement... BURN the MAGA Flag.. after all, that what we are fighting against!
