SCORE CARD’S RESPONSE, May 30, 2024, FROM HEARING THE TRUMP TRIAL VERDICT.

This entry is part 10 of 15 in the series Donald Trump

Following is a list of how I felt hearing Thursday May 30, 2024 that Donald trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the New York hush money trial:

  • I totally did not expect the outcome!  I was incredibly surprised!
  • I was really surprised that all 34 counts were voted against Trump.
  • I expected at least one juror to find him not guilty.  I was truly respectful for each juror for coming up with this terrific surprise outcome!
  • I had expected Trump to win acquittal, in total.
  • I was really impressed with the New York trial process.  It is really comforting to see a legal system someplace working in the United States!  In contrast, in my mind, the  U.S. “Supreme” Court is a disaster and it’s participants should be removed!
  • After viewing news reports of his many goose stepping followers using Trump techniques such as listed below that the United States just might be on the road of becoming a diminished Democracy.  Here is my list of scenes that Trump uses to gain some support for himself and also used by his followers, that now proved to not work (thank God):
    • Lies.
    • Fabrications.
    • Embellishments of his accomplishments.
    • Attacking opponents to build a wall to protect himself.
    • Blame others to deflect self incrimination.
    • Promoting fear against minorities which is a typically used tool by terrible politicians to split society apart.
    • Using black or white outcomes (lies) to describe current social situations (some times works in favor of the dictator).  A lot of our life situations lie in the gray area or the in-between.  It is up to each of us to discern the importance of where the truth and facts reside.
    • Trump tried to build a cult like following and to some degree it worked with the stupid.
    • Trump is a real life entertainer who writes his own scripts to enhance himself.

List of Trump’s Alleged Mistakes and Crimes.

H. L. Mencken wrote:  “The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

William Barr, Might Be In Violation Of Ethics Policy

William Barr, Might Be In Violation Of Ethics Policy

Opinion

William Barr was appointed United States Attorney General in the Donald Trump administration February 14, 2019.  As a federal employee, Mr. Barr must abide by the federal government ethics policy which states employees shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual. Barr may have violated this policy by seemingly protecting Donald Trump from having his misdeeds and crimes revealed to Congress and the American Public.

Barr is now in charge of the United States Justice Department and as such comes under the ethical guidelines outlined within the  Permitted and Prohibited Activities found within and for that agency. That document goes into the details of laws and regulations governing the conduct of Department of Justice employees. William Barr, as an employee of the Justice Department, might be in violation of the Hatch Act and if true should be dismissed from office for his most favorable treatment of Donald Trump.

“All Department of Justice employees are subject to the Hatch Act, 5 U.S.C. 7323(a) and 7324(a), which generally prohibits Department employees from engaging in partisan political activity while on duty, in a federal facility or using federal property. Political activity is activity that is directed toward the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group. The statute carries serious penalties including REMOVAL from federal employment.”

William Barr evidently believes in the unitary executive theory which holds that the President possesses the power to control the entire executive branch.  What Barr fails to understand is that the purpose of the government is to serve the needs of it’s citizens first and always and doing so through the efforts of the president and his administration.  If the president runs afoul of working for the best interests of the people then proper ethics for federal employees should have them resist.  We all need to guard against this country sliding toward being a dictatorship.

Another Source To Further Understand Unitary Executive Theory.

This unitary executive theory belief intuitively runs counter to a person avoiding running afoul of the Hatch Act.  This belief also could be a rather sneaky path toward the United States becoming a dictatorship.

What then are alleged instances of William Barr acting toward the success of Donald Trump?  Here is a list of William Barr’s alleged federal government ethics policy and Hatch Act violations:

      • Alleged attempts to minimize the impact and importance of the Mueller Report by clouding its findings.  Barr repeatedly declared that Trump had been cleared of collusion when the report did not come to that conclusion.
      • Barr’s news conference repeatedly (but not universally) mischaracterized what the Mueller Report itself presents.
      • Barr allegedly killed the investigation being conducted into the Trump Organization by U.S. attorneys in the Manhattan District of New York.  Sources:  Politico,  Washington Post, The Atlantic
      • The Justice Department sent Muller the command, to limit his testimony“Any testimony must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by executive privilege, including information protected by law enforcement, deliberative process, attorney work product, and presidential communications privileges,”   As a result, the Justice Department is  interfering with Congress and preventing the citizens of the United States from being properly informed about the alleged misdeeds and possible crimes of the president. 

Summary: It appears that United States Attorney General William Bar may have violate both the federal employee ethics guidelines and the Hatch Act and the penalty for that crime is termination.

New Name For The US “Supreme” Court.

New Name For The US “Supreme” Court.

This blog has used, for years, the name for the United States ‘Supreme’ Court by putting the word supreme in quotes indicating that it is not supreme because it favors the rich and powerful over the common people.  It has not been the people’s court for a very long time and the situation is getting worse.  If Brett Kavanaugh is appointed to the court then this blog will change the naming of that court to Supreme Plutocracy Court to reflect it’s actual purpose which is to serve the wishes of the rich and not the needs of the citizens.

Plutocracy definition: government by the wealthy.

“Supreme” Court Acts To Suppress Unions

“Supreme” Court Acts To Suppress Unions

The “Supreme” Court ruling that public unions can not require workers to pay union dues seems to be following the fascist play book. If we look at the fourteen point definition for determine what fascism is, we see that the “Supreme” Court, once again, has worked toward this end:

  1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism.
  2. Disdain for the importance of human rights.
  3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause.
  4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism.
  5. Rampant sexism.
  6. A controlled mass media.
  7. Obsession with national security.
  8. Religion and ruling elite tied together.
  9. Power of corporations protected.
  10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated. (The organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government).
  11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts.
  12. Obsession with crime and punishment.
  13. Rampant cronyism and corruption.
  14. Fraudulent elections.

(The above list is from  Laurence W. Britt).

The “Supreme” Court has taken point number 10, in the list above,
and helped to suppress and eliminate labor unions with their most recent
ruling.
