Charged!


I am pretty sure that none of you reading this were shocked by the federal indictment of Donald J. Trump for his "alleged" myriad of crimes having to do with his handling of classified documents after he left office. Thirty seven counts is a lot. Thirty seven! We all saw this coming. Mr. Trump has never had any respect for the rule of law, and he has always believed that he is above it. Now, finally, he will have to answer for his alleged crimes against the American people. 

Over the next few weeks you will be hearing the spin and gaslighting coming from the right. They will tell you that these charges are all political, and that they have nothing to do with the law.  Don't believe them. The truth is, if this had been anyone besides a former president who leads a cult of about thirty five percent of the voters in the republican party, he would have been charged and tried a long time ago.  He would more than likely be cooling his heels in one of the many federal detention facilities in our country as I write this.  

Still, I love the irony of all this. Here is a man who called for his political opponent (Hillary)to be locked up before she even had a trial, and for the death penalty to be handed down on five young men for a crime that they have been since exonerated from committing.  And now, he and his cult members are crying foul. They are saying that his arrest is political and never should have happened.  But I read the indictment in its entirety, and it's solid. I would recommend that if you are skeptical about the veracity of the charges, you do the same. And unless you are a member of the MAGA cult, I m sure that your conclusion will be the same. 

Donald J. Trump was indicted by a grand jury made up of ordinary citizens with no political agenda. They looked at the facts and came to the same conclusion: Donald J. Trump should be charged with these crimes. He will now have his day in court like any other ordinary citizen, and we will wait to see if justice will be served. 

This is a sad time for America. Imagine a former president being charged by the department of justice with committing crimes that could undermine our peace and security in the world. I would argue that an even sadder day, was when we elected this grifter and narcissist to be our leader in the first place.  Old black folks like to say that when someone shows you who they are, believe them. 

We have always known who Donald J. Trump is, so this indictment should not surprise any of us.  

Now let's just hope that justice will be served.

  2. "He will now have his day in court like any other ordinary citizen, and we will wait to see if justice will be served."
    Yes. That is all I have ever wanted for him, to face the same consequences of the law that anyone else would face.
    I would argue that it is not a sad day but a hopeful one. Nixon and Reagan exposed shortcomings in our political system by skating from their crimes. Now perhaps Fergus has taken the criming to a level where even the adherents to our flawed system agree that something must be done, and that something may prove to be the first step toward righting those flaws.
    And now Hillary Clinton is selling special edition "but her emails" merchandise with the proceeds going to her OnwardTogether organization's efforts at saving democracy.

  3. It was quite humorous listening to TFG bitch about hoaxes and weaponized DOJ and whatnot. Just one day earlier I had watched the CBS Special Report at 12:00 noon PST. As he groaned, cajoled and no doubt played to his base, I just kept seeing in my mind the bathroom storage room with I believe what was a toilet in the foreground. It looked like maybe about 80 or 90 banker's boxes full of files. Several of the boxes were upset and with quite a bit of their contents scattered across the floor like an abandoned storage unit. I could just imagine TFG giving the orders to once again move and try to hide the Top Secret documents from the FBI. It's really laughable, amateur hour stuff. What a fucking dope!

    There is literally a mountain of evidence in this case.

    This myth of the investigation being ordered by Biden will not die. And the hypocritical SOBs in the House who are decrying this all as politically motivated --- are scrambling to investigate Biden over nothing at all. You can't make this shit up.

  4. OK, I just finished reading the whole indictment. My reaction to it is that he will most likely try to throw Nauta and his attorneys under the bus, but that I doubt it will help him any. I encourage everyone to read it. It isn't that long and the stories it tells are mostly familiar, just set out in logical and chronological order, with emphasis on which crimes were committed by whom, where, and when.

    " We all saw this coming, Mr. Trump has never had any respect for the rule of law, and he has always believed that he is above it. "

    America has always loved and made celebrities of criminals. Jesse James, Al Capone and Ronald Reagan just to name a few. ( Insert Jack the Ripper. Reagan was a celebrity before he became a criminal.)

    And now we have Donnie Favors. Not since Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam were tried for the murder of Emmitt Till have we seen the system rigged so much in favor of the defendant. Justice ain't blind. It's wearing a blindfold. It sees what it wants to see.

    My dream scenario is that Republican voters stupidly make Trump their nominee, because he insisted he was innocent and this was all a “witch hunt.” And this is followed by Trump getting convicted and sent to prison in the fall of ‘24.

    And then his whole party just stands there dumbfounded, like, “Uhhhhh, what do we do now?” before inserting some pathetic no-hoper like Nikki Haley or Mike Pence as a desperate last-minute substitution, and Biden waltzes into a second term effortlessly.

  21. I am trying to imagine a world where somehow I meet a time traveler from late 2019, early 2020 or even early 2021. They ask about Trump and what happened with all that?

    Then you have to explain that he has been finally been arrested not for the longstanding Russian ties, the ordering of his goons to separate children from their parents, not for any of the financial shenanigans that occurred in his administration, not for the massive botched pandemic response, not the violent insurrection or the attempts to throw out the legitimate election results in swing states, not even the financial kickbacks from countries like Saudi Arabia.

    Instead you have to tell them a story involving missing classified documents, a tacky bathroom, and Kid Rock.

    He may well still be arrested and charged for the latter two offenses, though.

    The civil suit for rape/defamation, and the criminal charges for hush money and classified documents were merely the appetizers. Or maybe the soup and salad. If Trump is unhappy now, he’s going to be furious when they serve him the main course.

    These shootings serve as a reminder that America has no shame. Every school day, I would argue, each of these individuals whose actions are addressed in the previous comments highlighting the violence inherent in Eurapeon culture, pledged allegiance to a country that offered no allegiance to them.

    So thank you Anon for pointing out the failure of this country's adherence to the founding principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Thank you Anon for showing that you can't solve crime from inside a squad car. Thank you Anon for reminding us that we pay for the pensions and benefits to those charged to serve and protect who obviously aren't doing their job.

    And thank you Anon for ignoring the lying, cheating and profiteering of Donito Trumpolini aka Donnie 2x's aka Dumbold Trump. With a role model like him, is there any question why crime is rampant in these streets?

    It took 1500 years for the Europeon to become comfortable being poor, oppressed and neglected. Do you think we should give in after only 150? Is that why CRT is being maligned? Are you afraid that we not only have the receipts, but the invoices, too?

    So Anon I have to ask... why do you neglect to shine a light on resources sent to Ukraine to address the murder, rape and destruction over there that would be best served here at home? Why does White on White crime rarely get the attention afforded those in the Black community? Why is the Eurapeon involved in every conflict across the globe?

    Why can't we all just get along?

    I know why and so do you.

    "Welp, we all know CPD has some of the finest most dedicated officers..."


    I agree wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, we also know CPD has some of the worst, too.

    There's a saying in some corners of the Black community that says, "Everybody hates the cops until you need them." In their defense, we know, not all cops are bad.

    But then there is current Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara, a former police officer with the city of Chicago. He is a Trump supporter and defender of the January 6th insurrection," who had been suspended 9 times for a total of 131 days during his career. He was the subject of 50 civilian complaints, which put him in the 96th percentile of officers. (Damn…there's worse than him?) He survived two previous attempts to fire him, before he resigned in the middle of another disciplinary action where he could potentially have lost his job."( Source: Chicago Sun Times Nov. 2021 )

    Then we have Jon Burge and his Midnight crew. He was famous for using torture to force people to confess to crimes they didn't commit. Burge was so bad the city of Chicago has planned on building a memorial to honor the victims of his torture. (You can't make this up!)

    It should be noted that on April 14, 2015, then Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel, announced the creation of a $5.5 million city fund for individuals who could prove that they were victimized by Burge. (USA Today April 2015) It should also be noted that Commander Burge collected a pension at his home in Florida until his death.

    The National registry for exoneration lists Illinois the second highest state for exoneration with Texas being number 1. The city of Chicago has paid over 275 million dollars in settlements for wrongful convictions since 2010. (Some estimate as the total as high as 500 million.)

    Does Chicago have a crime problem? Hell yes. Is the Black community working to address it? Damn right! Did we get here by ourselves? Hell no, we didn't!

    Dumb-old Trump, the right wing's biggliest role model and frontrunner in the upcoming presidential election said, he could stand on 5th Ave. and shoot somebody and not lose votes. What type of message does that send to our children?

    You say Chiraq, I say, but what about Chireland and Chitaly?

    Chicago is a "gangster town. We didn't create it. It was like that when we found it. Lest we not forget, before becoming mayor, Richard J. Daley was 'banging with the Barrons on the South Side beating up Blacks who dared cross over into Bridgeport. And for those who think we are natural born criminals with a penchant for violent crime, I say we didn't get here by ourselves, we had help. And I would posit that we could use some help getting out of it.

    So the next time you hear about Black violence in Chicago know that there's more to it than single parent households, welfare queens, gangs and drugs. (I see you, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton!)

    I nominate substandard living conditions in some of the largest housing projects in America. I nominate Urban Renewal projects that built interstate highways thru the heart of Black communities. I nominate educational systems designed to maintain an industrial working class in a technological world. I nominate mass incarceration that caused serious harm to millions of families over the years. Not to mention the false imprisonment of innocent men and women. I could go on but I don't want to give the trolls here any more pleasure and enjoyment derived from our pain.

    Donnie Favors says he's got the "Platinum Plan," a 500 billion dollar development plan earmarked for assisting some of our most affected communities.

    Come on man! Although that's a start, let it be known that it's going to take more than that. We got the receipts and we got the invoices, too! Let's make America great period!

    The Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware has reached a plea agreement with Hunter Biden, in which he is expected to plead guilty to two federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes. Biden also faces a separate felony gun possession charge that will likely be dismissed if he meets certain conditions, according to court documents filed on Tuesday. Two sources familiar with the agreement told NBC News that it includes a provision in which the U.S. attorney has agreed to recommend probation for Biden for his tax violations.

    Indeed!

    Mayor Johnson's approach to leadership seems to be working albeit still too early to tell. He has promised to devote city resources to youth employment and enrichment programs instead of heavy handed policing which over the years has shown to be ineffective.

    Sadly he has to deal with People like Catanzara who give police a bad name and only make things worse as they create an adversarial environment in those areas where police are viewed as an occupying military force.

    “It would appear that the Biden administration is following through on its promise to the rail unions to get them paid sick days.”

    Still pretty stingy at only 4 sick days a year.

    Nonetheless, 4 is much better than zero. Zero is bullshit. And it would be nice if Biden got some credit, for this, since he previously took the heat for shutting down the railworkers’ unfortunately timed strike. (Unfortunately timed, in the sense that supply chains were still a complete mess and inflation skyrocketing, AND the country was heading into a midterm election, meaning even Democrat elected officials weren’t about to back another disruption in the form of a rail strike.)

    "Chicago shootings: At least 29 shot, 8 fatally, in weekend gun violence across city, police say"

    I say what the police "didn't say" is more important.

    What the police didn't say was that the clearance rate in the Black community is less than 25%.

    What the police didn't say was that the criminals are better organized than they are.

    What the police didn't say was that they are going to get out of their cars and do some real police work

    What the police didn't say was that they are going to turn down any raises until the streets are safer.

    What the police didn't say was that society has created this mess and they don't feel they should have to clean it up.

    What the police didn't say was why the numbers are so high.

    What the police didn't say was that they are working with the community to solve these crimes.

    What the police didn't say was that more police don't reduce crime.

    What the police didn't say was that moral is low because they don't feel appreciated.

    What the police didn't say was that they were going to weed out the bad cops who terrorize the citizenry.

    We don't need the police to report on crime in the streets, we've got reporters to do that. We just need them to do their jobs.

    “SCOTUS rejects magats attempt to allow states to take over federal electionsd.”

    I felt pretty confident that SCOTUS wasn’t going to accept the “independent state legislature theory.” It’s a relief to learn that they didn’t.

    Still very disgusting that Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch all think state legislatures can ignore any existing election laws and rig the outcomes of elections for their preferred candidates, which is what these justices essentially voted for.

    Yikes. SCOTUS just legalized workplace discrimination. As long as you say you're doing it out of a "sincerely held religious belief," the Court apparently thinks you can ignore anti-discrimination laws.

    Most immediately, this will affect LGBT people. But get ready for arguments that "my religion says I shouldn't have to associate with Negroes and Mexicans." What is the counter-argument? Do you really think you can prove that this individual's hateful religion doesn't count as a real religion? Good luck with that.

    It's based on a hypothetical gay couple.

    A website designer argued that, although she doesn't actually design wedding websites now, she might want to, someday, and then a gay couple might demand that she should make a wedding website for them, someday.

    And if that day should ever arrive, she should then have the right to tell them they're perverted sodomites and she won't take their business, praise Jesus.

    SCOTUS agreed that that was sensible and she should be allowed to.
