The Criminal Trump

As a Democrat I am concerned about Trump, but also the presidency. The president can, as it is, do anything he or she feels like with all the departments, the cabinets and secretaries. With the right wing hatred of the federal government, we could end up firing a million government employees. Nothing in the constitution says we need to have the cabinet posts. We could end up with secretary of state, war and treasury. Keep about 500 people to run those.

Another point I wish to make is that ex-Trump voters, still republicans, dismiss the Trump charges as politics. Not actual crimes. No, we don't want any president to act like the autocrat that he was.

Our election laws need fixing. Our human rights...including voting...need fixing.

Now, the case for january 6th will indeed go to court. Trump lawyers have their own problems. The rest of us will have the problem of protecting witnesses and jurors. I have said this before. I would not be on that jury. I would refuse.

The Georgia indictment also came through. I will be curious about the GOP response to RICO charges involving actual voting processes and voting machines. "It's just politics" is not going to work anymore.
