Rich Men Have Lawyers On Standby

-

Robert Cheeley, mug shot taken at the Fulton County prison. He is one Donald Trump's co-defendants, for trying to steal the 2020 Georgia election.

Wealthy people have lawyers on standby in case …… In case what? In case Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicts them for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election outcome, in the State of Georgia.

She did that on August 14, indicting Donald Trump and 18 others for racketeering under the RICO Act. All Trump’s co-defendants showed up in Georgia with their lawyers, posed for the camera for posterity and paid the bond, except one. Harrison Floyd, one of the co-defendants clocked in but with no lawyer and no bond, so he spent five days in Fulton County prison.

Floyd was the director of Black Voices for Trump, a very unique collective. It’s unique because there are many African Americans (sorry, black Americans) that vote for the Republican Party. It’s democracy. Just recently, Tim Scott, a black man, was in the race for the 2024 nomination. I don’t know why Harrison Floyd and his collective decided on Black Voices for Trump.

The five days in prison for a black man who believes in Trump was an embarrassment obviously, so Republicans passed around the plate and Harrison Floyd got a lawyer and a bond was set up.

Why do wealthy people have lawyers on stand-by?

1. In case they lose an election, then try to doctor results.

2. In case they hide taxes that belong to the government.

3. In case a business deal turns sour.

4. In case they commission a ‘hit’, translate that into murder.

5. In case the wife accuses them of physical and mental abuse.

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
