You would have to be living under a rock or too busy cheering for the latest banning of a drag show or shaking your fist at Disney for standing up for their gay and trans employees to be surprised or outraged by the indictment of Donald Trump yesterday. Quick, find your fainting couch and hang on. And just a reminder, for those who have been too busy obsessing over Hunter Biden’s personal problems or him getting a job because his Daddy was Joe Biden, this documents case, brought by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, is just one part of the reckoning Trump is set to face over the next year or two. I know it’s hard to believe, that the guy who thinks he gets to live by a different set of rules than the rest of us, is finally facing the music. Brace yourself, because the music is getting louder.
On that note, let me introduce you to two complete idiots, albeit influential and dangerous idiots, Kevin McCarthy and Ron DeSantis. These two self-serving, craven politicians know that former President Donald Trump has been lying to them, lying to the Justice Department, lying to the National Archives, and lying to the American people for years about basically everything. They’ve just been too cowardly to call him out. These two phony, power-hungry morons are lying to you, the American people, again, and they don’t care. They are completely aware of what has unfolded so far, they know what he did was wrong at best, and likely criminal.
These indictments handed down yesterday, were not about Trump initially taking the classified documents from the White House, even though he knew that he wasn’t supposed to take them. This case is all about what happened after. He was given every opportunity to cooperate and hand them back over like Pence and Biden did.
Here are tweets from these two cowards following the news that Donald Trump has been indicted in Federal Court for holding onto classified government documents, refusing to turn them over, and lying about possessing them.
My Kevin’s Tweet:
“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.
It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.
I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.”
Little Ronnie DeSanctimonious’s Tweet:
The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society.
We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.
Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?
The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all.
What a bunch of political horse shit.
First of all these indictments have nothing to do with Joe Biden or the 2024 election and everything to do with holding Donald Trump accountable for his actions and for violating the law. He is a threat to the rule of law in this country and he is a threat to national security, and he is an ongoing threat to American domestic stability. Donald Trump wanted to run for President again because he thought it would give him legal cover for all of his shady and illegal activity. A crafty move for sure, but naive and wishful thinking that his candidacy would shield him from criminal prosecution.
The indictment will be unsealed within a matter of days and we all will be able to see the details of the seven charges. Trump will get his day in court. Take note that not one of Trump’s publicly-vocal defenders is countering any of the details of this case; not the facts and details that we are already aware of based on what he has said and what has happened for everyone to see.
Why would these two supposed leaders of the Republican Party, McCarthy and DeSantis continue to throw themselves on the political funeral pyre of a loser, liar, and imminent threat to American democracy? Why would they be jumping to his defense before they know all of the details contained in the indictments? Wouldn’t it be prudent to reserve criticism of the justice department’s case till the details come out? Watch what happens, even after the indictment is unsealed and all of the facts are laid out. They will not make any attempt to defend him on the merits of the case. It will all be about how the DOJ has been weaponized to go after Biden’s number one political opponent. It will be all grievance-based whining and conspiracy theories. It’s hard to understand why they continue to support this sociopath other than they are just afraid, literally and physically afraid of Trump’s MAGA supporters.
Why would they continue to lie to the American people about what has happened and is currently happening? Why would they continue to undermine the viability of the future of their own political party and continue to elevate and defend Donald Trump? Why would they continue to support a person that is undermining our justice system and the rule of law and threatening the future of the United States of America? I mean this is the guy who shared top-secret information with the Russians while he was in office. This is the guy who is on tape, stating he knew he had document(s) and should not be showing them to anyone. This is the moron who said he could just think about declassifying documents and presto, all good. Not true, just for the record. Again it’s hard to understand why they continue to defend him but the easy takeaway is that all of it just makes them look like idiots.
Beyond looking like idiots and continuing to enable a crooked insurrectionist who tried to overthrow democracy and our government, these messages are particularly irresponsible because of their potential to violently incite Trump’s base of hardcore, extreme supporters. It is unconscionable and it is reckless and dangerous to continue to publicly support him.
A grand jury of American citizens listened to mountains of evidence and made the decision to indict Trump on a number of charges, in a Florida courtroom of all places folks. So it is in every one of our interests as American citizens to familiarize ourselves with each of the charges and make every effort to understand the legal process that brought us to this moment. This is the legal system at work. It is the duty of all of us, as American citizens, to tune out the political noise and to focus on the facts of this case.
The fact is Trump had every opportunity to hand the documents back over to the government. He did not, he refused, he resisted, then finally handed some of the documents back. Trump and his attorneys then stated all documents were returned. But, in fact, he was hiding more classified material, the feds caught wind of that, and then they got a search warrant and found them. He obstructed justice. He obfuscated. He counseled witnesses involved in this case to lie.
He is not above the law. No one is above the law, that’s the point. Any other government official or private citizen, other than Trump, would already have been indicted and probably convicted long ago for what he has done. He has been shown unprecedented deference and opportunity to do the right thing. Donald Trump has in fact been given special treatment that no one else in America would have received; certainly not you or me.
There is a very important question to be asking here that none of the Trump sycophants want to address. Why would he be holding onto these documents and refusing to turn them back over? Why? For the opportunity to have a fight with the feds and get attention for it? Just because he thinks he can because he is Donald Trump, the heretofore Teflon Don? Or was there something more nefarious afoot? There are espionage charges involved too, so there is every reason to believe that there were top-secret documents he was holding onto in an effort to use them for financial or political gain or both, at some point in the future. We will all find out shortly what his motivations were.
Thank God there are some GOP leaders beginning to speak out against Trump’s behavior and to admit what we all can see and hear with our own eyes and ears. There are not enough though. They are a small minority. Unfortunately for America, the Republican Party is now dominated by cowards like McCarthy and DeSantis, who at least rhetorically, have abandoned the Rule of Law and are actively working to undermine bedrock institutions like our military and the FBI. The political party that used to trumpet and exalt the concepts of law and order, respect for institutions, high moral standards, civility, and decency has in large part debased itself down to a Trumpian worldview. They have abdicated any real leadership and sold their souls to the Devil in Mar a Lago, to the detriment of the nation.
The wheels of justice will grind on despite the noise and distraction from the My Kevins and Little Ronnies of the world. Trump will either be convicted or acquitted by a jury of American citizens in this classified documents case and the justice system will have done its job. He will also be indicted in several other cases in the near future, again we are just at the beginning. Regardless of the outcomes though, most of us have already rendered our verdict on Donald Trump’s abhorrent and disgraceful character. For decades, he has shown us who he is with his actions and in his own words revealed his true nature. It feels more like a millennium.
