An arraigned criminal…
Many of you who bother to pay attention or are old enough will remember the so-called central park five. It was a case on April 19, 1989, in which a white woman Trisha Meili was sexually assaulted as she jogged in New York’s Central Park. The New York Police Department arrested five young black and Latino teenagers.
Donald Trump took out ads in local papers demanding the death penalty for teenagers. They were convicted for a crime they did not commit and were released years later after the real assailant was arrested and convicted.
Donald Trump called for locking up Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent in the 2016 presidential cycle. Even though there have since been several fishing expeditions in the Republican-controlled House, most notably the so-called Benghazi hearings spearheaded by fascist pit bulls Trey Goudy and Gym Jordon[sic], there has emerged not one scintilla of evidence to charge former Secretary Clinton with any crimes.
Whether one believes in God or a higher power or not, it doesn’t change the fact that our world is set up on principles that keep things even keel.
Whatever you sow, that shall you also reap. Whether Donald Trump will be convicted on any of these 34 felony charges is a long way off, and whether The Fulton County Georgia Grand Jury will indict him is yet to be determined.
And finally, whether the United States Attorney General will indict Donald Trump in the myriad investigations into his conduct in Classified Documents, Espionage, Seditious conspiracy, or any other is up in the air.
One thing is certain; the twice-impeached single-term loser will go down in infamy as the first to be indicted for any offense, much less 34 felonies.
I have heard some ludicrous reasons coming from the political right as to why this Teflon slitherer should not have been indicted, including one frothing-mouth mongrel who asked, ‘How dare DA Alvin Bragg indict a former president, how dare he indict someone who sat in the chair occupied by Lincoln, Reagan and others”?
My response to the frothing-mouth idiotic bigot is this; it always takes a black man or woman to do what’s right. None of the presidents of the past you named were men of honor or character, so suck it.
The fact that you find it more important to demonize the upholder of the law than the vile creature who breaks them tells us all we need to know about you.
Finally, the country is becoming a better version of itself with this indictment. Oh, did I say suck it?
