Trump Found Guilty B4 The Election I Was Wrong

-

Ashleigh Merchant, lawyer for Trump's co-defendant Michael Roman tainted Nathan Wade's relationship with Fani Willis as sordid and mercenary, to try and kill the Rico case against Donald Trump a man found guilty of rape and paying hush money, to a former porn star.

I was wrong. I maintained in all my blogs that Donald Trump’s delaying tactics were bearing fruit. He would not go to his criminal trials before the November election. Today, 30 May 2024, the jury in the election interference case brought about by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney has a verdict. After hearing all the evidence in Judge Juan Merchan’s court, it unanimously found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts.

I want to bury my head in the armpit in shame. Where am I going to hide all these blogs, where I said Donald Trump is untouchable because of friends in high places, especially the U.S. Supreme Court? One thing for sure, I won’t take them home as hand luggage, the same way Trump unilaterally demoted classified documents, and whisked them away to Mar-a-lago. I can imagine him saying:

“Oh! I think I’ll take these home. They’ll come in handy when I go back to the White House in 2025.”

I was wrong for saying the delay delay delay was going to work, but bear with me. I had reasons for that presumption.

1. On 4 March 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that states could not disqualify candidates from the ballot because of an insurrection.  Only Congress can implement Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I was flabbergasted because I agreed with the Colorado state Supreme Court for saying he can’t be on the ballot because of the insurrection he engineered on 6 January 2021. I was despondent from then onwards.

2. Then came the Fani Willis persecution called an ‘evidentiary hearing.’ It was another delaying tactic from Donald Trump, but what hurt me the most was criminalizing love. Nathan Wade is a special man because he is proof we cannot taint all black men with same brush and say they don’t love us. Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer for Michael Roman, Trump’s co-defendant in the RICO case turned a beautiful relationship between two African American professionals into something sordid and mercenary. How do you know it was beautiful? Ashleigh Merchant herself. When she spoke to the ’genius’ kangaroo court called a Georgia Senate committee, she said Nathan Wade and Fani Willis went on a cruise. They occupied one cabin. Nathan Wade’s mother occupied another one. From where I come from, acceptance by the man’s or woman’s mother, makes that love beautiful.

It is in this context, that I thought all was lost, Trump’s delaying tactics were working. I was wrong. Today he was found guilty in a court of law, BEFORE the November election.

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

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
