The judge in Florida has pushed the trial for Trump out on the end of the pier that is marked indefinite. So his handling of classified material seems to be of no importance to our justice system. Again I would like to see how this would be handled if the former Commander and Chief were tried under UCMJ rules. It would not be put on indefinite and it would not be treated as unimportant.
The erosion of democracy is well underway in many parts of the world and it seems the republican party is determined to make it go away in the US. Articles in the paper about cartels running elections and killing their opposition are the kinds of issues we can look forward to if we allow democracy to become a thing of the past.
How this can be viewed as desirable is totally beyond my comprehension, the idea of having armed thugs killing people that don’t agree with them is just unthinkable. Where do such ideas come from? Is it the gun lobby that cannot recognize that assault weapons are for war not the kind of weapon that john q average needs to have in his closet. If we limit weapons then what will we limit next, power drinks, drugs, the use of condoms so that we don’t end up with a nation full of idiots?
It seems that every other right can be infringed upon but guns and blatant stupidity. Those items can not be interfered with for some reason beyond common sense. Books can be banned because they depict a historical view that is detrimental to white supremacy. Subjects in school are not to be taught for that and reasons that go against the bible or other religious theory. Women’s health issues are denied because women are chattel and disposable property, they are here to produce offspring and keep the master happy. These things can not happen in a democracy because everyone has a voice not just the wealthy or the male of the species or not just the white men of property, everyone has a voice. We need to keep it that way.
