the entitled are narcissitic...it goes with the territory...some seem a shade more reserved about displaying it...for the true attention whore however ink is ink...the viewpoint isn't the issue, it's the attention and this one is a hog in that respect...one suspects a deep seated nixonite inferiority complex at root...you will have to convince me of otherwise in this case...so since the critique is irrelevant to the attention where does that leave us? let's have a look back a ways...
big news back in 2019...and, one suposes, we spent a fair chunk of taxpayer money for a trial in the senate...and where did that end up? acquittal...
2021 and we repeat the same scenario with, probably, a few different actors...the results were the same and donny continued in his tenure...
and yesterday? a new york state sting for a payoff to some porn actress donny bought off to avoid undue publicity about who knows what...appearance...personal hygene...preferences...certainly not out of any sense of shame...and there are,no doubt, numerous among his "base" that wish they could have had the opportunity...ink is ink and all this could do would be to enhance his reputation among a sector of the faithful ( with,no doubt, some secretly envious among the evangelical set )...where will al this end? riots in the streets...civil war...a house investigation...or just another acquittal...it stems from a payoff in october of 2016...so donny wasn't in the white house yet so ( and i am no lawyer [praise be] so this is all laic supposition...however i have researched some and will try to be critical in thinking ) one supposes that executive privilege and presidential immunity are not a part of the case...alvin bragg is district attorney for new york county...so this is a state case not a federal one...the only federal judges who might actually review it would be the supreme court ( more on that later )...an indictment is not a conviction and i would be remiss if i did not point out that, being one of the elite, there is probably a judge higher up the judicial food chain that would have no qualms about overturning it...and here's where it gets interesting...even if he is convicted there is nothing that legally bars him from running for president or serving a second term...a supreme court review would be pointless...if these were reasonable times i'd say they would scoff at even heraing it...however, to borrow a phrase, this is a tainted, meanly obsequious age and the court is as packed with loons as the senate...in the end this is a meaningless tempest in a teapot...that the republican party would welcome an indicted and/or convicted candidate is a no brainer...we live in foul times...the fat's in the fire...however not, probably, how most people think.
