EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
IF DONALD TRUMP DOESN’T GO TO PRISON FOR TRYING TO OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT, THE NEXT DEMAGOGUE MAY HAVE THE BRAINS TO SUCCEED
If America turns a blind eye to Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow our government, and allow him to walk away with impunity – or casually drive away in his golf cart - the next demagogue may be smart enough to pull it off. Thus, America should leave no stone unturned to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life.
.
While we like to say that no one is above the law, it's just not true. If it were, Donald Trump would be in jail as we speak, and that’s the source of our current problem - the rich and powerful know they’re free to pursue their self-interests with impunity, and they all tend to be Republicans.
.
Slate recently reported in its article, A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset, that Trump "helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016." The article goes on to say, "Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That’s been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form on Tuesday, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump’s administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset."

That's also why he tried to establish a secret "back-channel" link of communication with Russia. He tried it twice - once through Jared Kushner, and a second time using Erik Prince in a secret meeting in the Seychelles. The reason for that is China and our own intelligence community was Putin and Trump's only obstacles to world domination - at least, as Trump saw it. That also explains why he tried to get the intelligence community to declassify their intelligence for former Attorney General Bill Barr to do a so-called investigation. He wanted to see how much they knew.

Orlando Weekly reported, “The invasion of the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday was stoked in plain sight. For weeks, the far-right supporters of President Donald Trump railed on social media that the election had been stolen. They openly discussed the idea of violent protest on the day Congress met to certify the result.” And Trump continued to prime them for violence with “The Big Lie” - that the election had been stolen, even though he, and all of his cohorts, knew it was a lie.
.
Now that she’s being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion, Trump’s former attorney, Sidney Powell, and the person who Trump wanted to put in charge of investigating the thoroughly debunked “election fraud”, has now admitted in court that it was a lie.

Yet, even though Trump knew his claim of election fraud was a lie, he continued to make the claim in order to rile up his gullible followers. Why? I’ll tell you why - because he was using the claim to light the fuse of insurrection. He even lied to them by saying he was going to the Capitol with them, but he watched them make fools of themselves on television instead. What a manipulative and cowardly creep!
.
Another reason we know that things were going just as planned was, instead of Trump saying, “Oh, my God! This has gotten out of hand! Let me bring this to an end," he was casually making phone calls to his congressional allies as the building was being attacked.
.
CNN reported that “In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the US Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did. ‘Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,’ Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.”
.
Then, even after the insurrection failed, Trump continued to try to use “The Big Lie” to justify it. He said, "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long."
.
But the next day, after he began to get the negative blowback from the insurrection, in true Trump fashion, he tried to save himself by throwing his supporters under the bus. He said, "The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay." What a self-serving creep!
.
But if there’s any justice and/or common sense left in America, Trump will pay as well. Unless our Department of Justice is completely clueless (and I doubt that very seriously), as we speak, they're seeking a direct conspiratorial connection between Donald Trump and the insurrection - and if Trump is true to his usual incompetent pattern, it's definitely out there.

TWO CAPITOL POLICE OFFICERS SUE TRUMP
FOR INJURIES SUSTAINED DURING CAPITOL INSURRECTION
.
The Hill reported that "Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby allege in a lawsuit filed in federal court this week that Trump riled his supporters and encouraged them to commit acts of violence against them, according to The Washington Post.
“Both United States Capitol Police Officers reported for duty on January 6, 2021, without any suspicion that they would soon become the targets of Trump’s followers,” the suit states. “The insurrectionist mob, which Trump had inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed, and aided and abetted, forced its way over and past the plaintiffs and their fellow officers, pursuing and attacking them inside and outside the United States Capitol, and causing the injuries."
