Donald Trump Sanity Plea Does Not Apply

-

Mike Pence, former U.S. Vice President served Donald Trump faithfully until January 6, 2021, where he told himself: the buck stops here. He had a job to do in furtherance of the Constitution and he defied Donald Trump, the traitor.

Below is an old blog, 9 February 2024 about the possibility of Donald Trump playing the insanity card.

------------------------

Donald Trump, the former U.S. President facing election interference charges in Washington D.C. and Georgia is a master of delaying tactics. It will be quite a feat if both trials see the light of day before November, because if a judge dares to breathe, Donald Trump takes it to the Appeals Court. That chews up time.

Donald Trump is also pre-emptive. Let’s try and keep up with him. Presidential immunity is his current cloak of honour. If that doesn’t work, his platoon of lawyers will suggest another stop gap. Which is? Not guilty by “reason of insanity,” popular in TV drama. Will that do the trick?

1. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. He will be crowned king in 2025, after having won 2024. He’s like that. He wills things, and they happen. That’s the only election result he wants. If Biden wins again, Trump wll retrieve the ‘stolen’ election playbook and use it until 2028, the next election. Money is no problem.

2. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. That is why when he learned that indeed, he had lost the 2020 election, he claimed he was robbed, while simultaneously working with co-defendants like Michael Roman, to try and reverse Georgia’s legitimate results (see 14 August 2023 indictment by Fulton County DA Fani Willis).

3. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. That is why the seed to attack the Capitol germinated in his mind and he planted the off-shoots in his online garden. Supporters responded to his master’s voice and came ready with TRUMP TRUMP flags as big as windows. 6 January 2021 was not the work of a madman.

4. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. That’s why he acts up in court. The intention is to poison the legal system in the minds of ordinary Americans. He wants them to see judges and prosecutors as part of a political cartel to stop him from living in the White House again.

5. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. He has no qualms about disregarding courts because he has a  reserve bank, bigger than the Federal Reserve Bank, to pay lawyers to appeal.

6. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. That is why he bypasses all structures of his party, the Republican Party. Why take part in T.V. debates when he is the front runner?

7. Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. He has complete faith in the U.S. Supreme Court. As Alina Habba his attorney reminded us, he appointed some of the justices, so he expects them to watch his back.

There’s more. You can add your reasons why Donald Trump is not mad, just focused. Therefore, his army of lawyers should not even think about pleading that he is not guilty, by reason of insanity.

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
