At least 8 million people have invaded our country since the illegitimate Biden regime took office in Jan 2021.

To put this in perspective this is equal to the populations of:

Wyoming

Vermont

Alaska

North Dakota

South Dakota

Delaware

Rhode Island

Montana

Maine

COMBINED.

DNC voters said last election that had they known that Hunter Biden’s laptop was actually his own laptop (yeah, I know, sounds crazy when you say it out loud but you’re dealing with sheeple) they would have voted differently.

This election Biden isn’t on the ballot…well, he was physically until those sheeple found out he was a puppetted dementia patient and his handlers selected his replacement without allowing a vote…but his policies are still on the ballot as are all the appointed people who purposefully kept Hunter from prosecution and jail for drug trafficking, child trafficking, and child pornography.

"When civil disobedience is punished more severely than racist rioting, something has gone badly wrong."

"…whether you agree with Just Stop Oil’s tactics or not…their nonviolent protest, whose aim was to protect us all from harm, was a far less serious crime than the violence on the streets this month, whose perpetrators deliberately inflicted injury and massive, indiscriminate criminal damage. The riots did not just inconvenience people, they terrorised them.

When civil disobedience is punished more severely than racist rioting, something has gone badly wrong."

Trump's sentencing in his New York felony conviction has been delayed until after the election

This is likely at least in part a political decision, not one based on law- ie it is being done out of fear that if Trump is imprisoned, it will affect the election or be seen as "election interference".

But after the election, if he wins, it will be too late. Thanks to the Presidential immunity bestowed by his lapdogs in SCOTUS, and the blueprint for swiftly seizing total control of the government laid out in Project 2025, he will be-as he has said-"a dictator on day one". And effectively impossible to arrest.

If you ever want Trump to be accountable, if you want it to be even possible for Trump to be held accountable, then there is only one way to make that happen.

Vote Blue.

"I don't think that things can go too much further with the view that law enforcement, particularly the FBI or Department of Justice, runs a two-tiered system of justice. The nation can't stand under those circumstances." —Special Counsel John Durham, 6/21/23

Three of Trump's rivals for the GOP nomination say they would pardon Trump for his crimes if they get elected president.

The leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination faces 91 criminal charges, nearly half of which are at the federal level. And yet his two main GOP rivals have said they would pardon him if they’re elected. [ ... ] While campaigning in the days leading up to the first votes of 2024’s Republican primary elections, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley have both signalled they would grant clemency to the former president because it would be in the nation’s “interest” to do so. [ ... ] Republican officials and Mr Trump’s GOP rivals for the 2024 nomination have largely rushed to his defence after his indictments. Vivek Ramaswamy pledged to pardon Mr Trump shortly after he was federally indicted in the Mar-a-Lago case. [ ... ] Pardoning him would merely prove that the US does have “two systems of justice,” GOP rival Chris Christie told supporters in New Hampshire last week. But not the kind that Mr Trump believes. “One for all of us and one for the most powerful,” Mr Christie said. “If we allow that to happen as a country, we would be no better – no better – than a lot of these tin-pot democracies around the world who treat the privileged different than they treat everyday citizens.”

Asa Hutchinson, who is technically still in the race, reasserted that he would not pardon Trump.

Republican Asa Hutchinson won't pardon Trump if he's convicted

So here's the GOP Trump pardon scoreboard...

It's worth noting that President Gerald Ford gave a full pardon to Richard Nixon a month after he succeeded the disgraced Nixon. The pardon was highly unpopular and was likely a factor in Ford's narrow defeat by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.

Pardons for Trump might play well with the MAGA base but would be much less popular with the broader public.

An Inexorable Descent: The Culpability of Systemic Enablers and the Erosion of Rational Discourse

In a societal theater where sensationalism often supplants substance, the Trump era, persisting with alarming resilience through his trials and investigations, stands as a testament to the profound dysfunction gripping American political and social discourse. The confluence of cult-like fanaticism, systemic leniency, capitalistic opportunism, and an increasingly polarized media landscape has not only fueled but also normalized the chaotic spectacle we witness daily.

The Cult of Personality and Its Blind Adherents

At the core of this turmoil is a cult-like allegiance to Trump, characterized by a fervent dismissal of facts and an unwavering defense against any criticism or legal scrutiny. This demographic, often engulfed in conspiracy theories and anti-intellectual rhetoric, remains not merely supportive of Trump but aggressively antagonistic toward any who oppose him. This group's blind loyalty is not a benign political anomaly but a potent force capable of influencing political processes and obstructing justice.

Systemic Leniency: A Breach of Justice

The systemic leniency shown towards Trump and his associates by various facets of the American legal and political system is perhaps as troubling as the transgressions themselves. This leniency, whether stemming from a fear of backlash from Trump’s base or a deeper institutional malfunction, highlights a disturbing reluctance to apply the law uniformly. The ongoing hesitation to decisively prosecute Trump, despite the laundry list of allegations and charges against him—including obstruction of justice, financial fraud, and more—emboldens his rhetoric about a "two-tier legal system," ironically a system from which he benefits.

Media Complicity and the Profit Motive

The media, a once-esteemed pillar of democracy tasked with holding the powerful to account, has often succumbed to the allure of sensationalism over substance. The incessant coverage of Trump's antics, devoid of sufficient critical analysis or context, not only misinforms the public but also desensitizes it to the gravity of his actions. This relentless media frenzy, driven by ratings and clicks, perpetuates a cycle where crucial issues are overshadowed by the latest scandal, thereby diminishing public discourse to mere entertainment.

International Actors and Domestic Traitors

Adding complexity to this already volatile mix are foreign adversaries like Russia and North Korea, whose leaders have exploited Trump’s presidency to weaken American influence and sow division. Domestically, wealthy individuals and corrupt actors who align with Trump’s agenda continue to thrive under his chaos, often at a significant cost to the socio-economic fabric of the nation. These actors, both foreign and domestic, leverage the instability Trump creates to further their agendas, undermining American democracy in the process.

The Anti-Science Stance and Its Deadly Consequences

Trump's anti-science and anti-intellectual stance, particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, has not just been a policy failure; it has been a deadly one. His blatant disregard for scientific expertise and pandemic management protocols contributed to over a million American deaths. His rhetoric not only exacerbated the public health crisis but also entrenched a dangerous precedent for handling future crises.

Conclusion: The Imperative of Accountability

The saga of Donald Trump is not merely a story of one man’s hubris and criminality but a revealing exposé on the weaknesses within American systems—political, legal, and media—that have allowed such a figure to ascend and, more concerningly, to endure. As a nation, the path forward requires a resolute commitment to uphold the principles of justice equitably and without fear. Failure to rigorously prosecute and scrutinize Trump would not only embolden him and his followers but would also affirm his misguided assertions about American justice, further eroding trust in our institutions.

This moment in history demands more than passive observation; it calls for a concerted effort to reinforce the foundations of our democracy. That starts with the unyielding application of the law, a recommitment to factual discourse, and a collective stand against the forces that would see our societal norms upended for personal gain or political victory. In the end, dealing with Trump and his legacy is not about partisan politics but about safeguarding the integrity of our democratic institutions for the future.

Israelis still trying to claim Terra Nullius to evade the global children's rights treaty

Israel’s delegation argued in a series of UN hearings earlier this month that the treaty did not apply in Gaza or the West Bank.
