The courts have allowed Trump to continue his bully pulpit nonsense without holding him accountable. It is understood that he is a former President but at this point he is just another person of the nation. Is it fear of public opinion or what his followers might do that is keeping him on the streets and not behind bars? That is unclear, but if we take a look at history we find that at some point people reach a point where status does not matter. The Russians executed a Czar and all his family, the English beheaded a King and the French did the same to most of the Court of French Crown. When do we say enough is enough and require he pay for his crimes?
The general feeling probably is that we do not want to kill anyone but just remove them from the spotlight. If the result of the election allows him to move back into the White House, then execution of those he does not like is a very real possibility. There has been a call in Colorado for killing Joe Biden, and I would classify that as a threat and have that idiot locked up.
The Supreme Court is doing a lot of nothing about all this just finding ways to waste time and very possibly trying to let Trump off the hook which is just wrong. The method by which Justices are selected, the amount of time they remain in the job, and a code of ethics written by someone other than themselves that allows for termination of seats for violation of the code.
The other courts that are getting a bad wrap are the courts trying the Jan 6 participants. Everyday there is another tale of how badly they are being treated and that the message the Feds are sending is don’t challenge the government. The lesson these people should be taking away is not that they can’t challenge the government, that they cannot overthrow the government by means of violence on the whim of an idiot. Other candidates to the office have lost out by way of the vote of the Electoral College, not the vote of the people. They have not called for a riot or an insurrection they have accepted it and we the people have had to put up with Presidents like Bush and Trump that really should not have been in office.
They do not deserve to be treated worse than others that are held in jail, but they do not deserve to be treated better either. Attacking guards and attempting to interrupt an official proceeding does not get them a room at the Holiday Inn. It gets them a jail cell and all the luxury that comes with it. Remember most of you are the ones that were so keen to defund the police. Where did you think they were going to cut back first, no new cars, or more austere conditions in jail cells. You that are in those cells chose to rally behind a perpetual loser and do his bidding. So a choice was made, the outcome should have been obvious, and not the piper must be paid. Welcome to the adult world that has no room for the antics of a spoiled two year old.
