“The Trump Organization is expected to be hit with criminal charges as soon as next week by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office in a case that Trump attorneys say is tied to tax evasion related conduct, multiple people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.”
—Tweet by MSNBC host Ali Velshi (Ironic that this came as a tweet. Some might even call it karma.)
“Remember, if you win, we’ll cover your flight and hotel, you can bring a guest of your choice, AND you’ll get to meet your favorite President.”
—Email from Donald Trump, Jr. inviting me to enter a sweepstakes competition (by donating to daddy Trump, of course) for a chance for me to meet my “favorite President.” (I admit I’m tempted because I’d love to meet Teddy Roosevelt or Harry Truman.)
“Well, in the past, America had a very good solution for dealing with such traitors – execution… Any American involved in these efforts, from those who ran the voting machines to the very highest government officials, is guilty of treason under US Code 2381, which carries with it the penalty of death.”
—One America News (OAN) personality (I just can’t call him a news reporter) Pearson Sharp, with his somewhat vague accusation of (“Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?”) of “radical Democrats” who he claims carried out a “coup against the presidency.” (Curiously, he failed to provide any evidence or to identify precisely which “radical Democrat” should be executed.)
Some of us will remember the 1962 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest starring Jack Nicholson. It takes place in a mental institution and these past few years have kept reminding me of the film. Nurse Ratched (played by T…p in today’s world) had a cold, calculating control of the patients (T…p supporters in today’s world) and exerted psychological domination in a stifling environment that the administration of the hospital had created. The movie and the reality of the past few years have an uncanny resemblance.
