Trump is Calculating Not Insane

-

He's gone bananas. No. Donald Trump is not insane. He preparing for another 6 January 2021.

Trump will not plead insanity, because he is not insane. He has a passion for the White House and hatred for the legal system.

Children. Once upon a time, in a country called the United States of America, there lived a man called Donald Trump. He became the 45th U.S. President in 2016. Time rolled along and there was a presidential election in 2020. He wanted to be win so badly, he asked the state of Georgia to give him 11,780 votes so that he could beat Joe Biden, the candidate from the other party. He lost the election, but claimed it was rigged.

Children, fast forward to August 1, 2023. His country has accused him of the following:

1. Conspiracy to defraud the United States

2. Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding - the January 6 joint session of Congress held to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory

Insanity Plea

Yes children, he can use the insanity plea common in American movies. Yes he can, because he is Donald Trump. He does not respect the American the legal system. He has disdain for election procedures that made him president in the first place. The August 1 indictment was not the first one but, it’s all water off a duck’s back. He doesn’t show remorse at all, something that makes judges angry.

If he decides to claim he was insane, how will federal prosecutors refute that? Trump doesn’t care. He is preparing to run for president in the 2024 election. I guess he doesn’t know that if he gets away with the insanity plea, he cannot live in the White House again. Anything goes in America, but a mad president? I don’t think so.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
