Fake news, fake president

Fake news and fake ballots produced a fake president.

Nobody ever saw any of those ballots, and failing to convict Trump to protect their own political future will tear the Republican Party apart at the seams, as many law-abiding Representatives and Senators want to continue to perform the long-standing tradition of representing the people who elected them to protect their Constitution, and to provide law, order, and good government.

Their intransigence is incomprehensible considering Trump will never see the inside of the White House or Capitol again for the simple reasons that he violated his oath to serve and protect the people and their democratic institutions.

During his phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, he bared his soul to the world, and organizing and promoting an armed insurrection on Capitol Hill, that took five people’s lives closed that door forever.

Reflecting on his disconnects from important forums like the UN and NATO and snubbing global political leaders while giving Russia’s Vladimir Putin a cozy embrace, he is more likely to be remembered as the president who never was.

Trump’s departure will be like a very messy political root canal, as he will be facing a number of court challenges initiated by the tax man, banks, creditors, and a string of bills he left behind wherever he was holding political rallies.

A lot of the people who took an active part in that insurrection will also be facing criminal charges, and the process of prosecuting those cases will produce a lot of witnesses with information about who was all involved, how well organized they were, and who financed this assault.

The FBI and other organizations will be digging for evidence for months, generating an incredible catalogue of evidence that will be used in those trials, and very likely result in even more perpetrators being convicted, and every single one of those convictions will have Trump’s signature on it.
