As I sit down to process and reflect on the recent news of Trump’s lawyer’s arguments before the Supreme Court, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread and disbelief at the implications of their statements. The idea that having a political rival killed could be considered an ‘official’ presidential act is not only abhorrent but also goes against the very principles of democracy and the rule of law that our nation is built upon.
The fact that these arguments are even being entertained at the highest levels of our judiciary system is a clear indication of how far the bar has been lowered by the former president.… Continue reading
As a society, we have reached a point where the ultra-wealthy seem to operate by an entirely different set of rules. The recent news of billionaire Leonard Leo rejecting a Senate subpoena over supreme court gifts is just another example of the blatant indifference to the law displayed by the ruling class. It’s almost as if being a billionaire automatically grants you immunity from accountability. The fact that a congressional subpoena is now being treated as optional if you have enough money is a troubling reflection of the state of our government and justice system.
The issue of billionaires defying government orders brings to light the stark reality that there is a double standard at play in our society.… Continue reading
It is mind-boggling to witness the ongoing debate about presidential immunity in the United States. The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering the notion of one man being above the law is not just alarming but fundamentally goes against the very principles on which this nation was founded. The recent brief filed by a group of four-star generals, warning the Supreme Court about the dangers of upholding Trump’s immunity claims, speaks volumes about the state of our democracy.
As a citizen, it is both disheartening and enraging to see the highest court in the land engaging in what seems like a deliberate delay tactic rather than upholding the rule of law.… Continue reading
Threatening the president is a crime. Quite a bold statement, but one that carries significant weight in today’s political climate. The recent discussions surrounding Trump potentially violating his bail conditions by making inflammatory statements that could incite violence have sparked outrage and frustration among many individuals. It’s disheartening to witness a powerful figure like Trump continuously skirt accountability for his actions, while the rest of society is held to a different standard.
The notion that Trump may have violated his bail conditions, yet faces no consequences, raises serious questions about the state of our justice system and the integrity of our democracy.… Continue reading
As I read about Trump’s latest attack on a judge’s daughter, sharing photos and escalating his relentless harassment, I am left feeling a mix of disbelief and outrage. The fact that he can continue to target innocent family members of those in positions of power without facing any real consequences is a stark reminder of the broken nature of our justice system when it comes to holding the rich and powerful accountable.
It is perplexing to witness the sheer audacity of Trump as he blatantly disregards gag orders, threatens judges, and terrorizes their loved ones with complete impunity. The double standard at play here is glaring, with Trump expecting judges to recuse themselves over perceived conflicts of interest while turning a blind eye to the conflicts of interest within his own sphere of influence, such as with Clarence Thomas’ wife.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the current state of our justice system, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and disillusionment. The recent actions of Trump, his threats towards judges and their families, and his blatant disregard for the rule of law have truly raised alarm bells among conservative judges. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that these so-called conservative judges have played a significant role in enabling and empowering Trump to shred our justice system to pieces.
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which seeks to grant dictatorial powers to the president and enact a fascist agenda, is a chilling reminder of the dangerous path we are heading towards.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news surrounding Trump’s continuous targeting of a judge’s daughter despite prosecutors explicitly telling him to desist, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of frustration and disappointment. The fact that there seem to be no consequences for his actions is not only infuriating but also exposes a glaring loophole in our judicial system.
It is disheartening to see how Trump, like a petulant child, continues to push the boundaries without any fear of repercussions. The prosecutor’s plea for him to stop seems futile, as it is clear that mere words and warnings hold no weight in deterring his behavior.… Continue reading
I am beyond frustrated with the latest news surrounding Donald Trump and his blatant disregard for the law. Despite a gag order in place, Trump continues to escalate attacks on a judge’s daughter, showing no respect for the judicial system or the consequences of his actions. It seems as though Trump believes he is above the law, and unfortunately, he may be right.
The fact that Trump can openly violate a gag order without facing any real repercussions is alarming. It sends a message that the rules don’t apply to him, that he can do and say whatever he wants without consequence.… Continue reading
Trump’s latest attack on Judge Merchan’s daughter in the hush money trial rant is not only appalling but also a dangerous display of his flagrant disregard for the rule of law. It’s disheartening to see the justice system repeatedly bend over backwards to accommodate his outrageous behavior and blatant attempts to intimidate those involved in his legal proceedings. The fact that he can openly go after a judge’s family without facing immediate consequences is a stark reminder of the unjust privilege he seems to enjoy.
The hypocrisy of Trump’s supporters is glaringly evident in their defense of his unwarranted attacks on those who stand in his way.… Continue reading
As I delve into the controversy surrounding the whistleblower who leaked Trump’s taxes and potentially faces prison time, I find myself at a crossroads. The calls for Biden to pardon this individual are ringing loud and clear, but I can’t help but consider the implications of such an action. The core issue at hand is not simply about one man leaking sensitive information; it goes much deeper into the fabric of our society and the trust we place in our governmental institutions.
The argument for pardoning this whistleblower hinges on the premise that the leak served a greater good by shedding light on the tax practices of the wealthy elite, including Trump himself.… Continue reading
