I have finally read all the indictments on the former guy who was president of this country. And I must say if true this it is the most disgusting, awful, horrible things I have ever read—This man was President of the United States of America. OH MY GOD-This man is a CRIMINAL, we watched him attempt to destroy this country through words and actions. Through conspiracy and bigoted prejudicial laws, we watch the Republican party, MAGAs, and non-Magas alike accept all of it. And he had help. Yes, the Freedom Caucus aka the White Citizens Council of the 21st Century pretending that what they are doing is for the good of the country and for the good of the children, we know it’s not and it never was. They helped and continue too. Trump attempted to steal the election. This type of thing has been going on in the country for years. Black are scapegoats, the LBGTQ+ has been scapegoated, immigrants, Women, Gen Z, students with high loans all the while #LibertyMamas are trying to hide pictures of their grandmothers shouting segregation now integration never while spitting on some little black children.
I live in the state of Alabama. Where today we as a black people continue to fight for free and fair elections. This year- a year of remembering a tragedy the Alabama GOP are defying the SCOTUS courts order of redistricting, as we remember the bombing of a church more than 60 years ago, when 4 little girls were blown to bits by dynamite, a bomb planted by bigots and racist were murdered while preparing for Sunday school. All because black people wanted rights. Civil rights. Citizens rights. Rights that as taxpaying citizens we deserved. 60 years ago they tried to use fear and intimidation.
If Donald J Trump had been an average white man from Queens he would already be in Rykers. Instead his MAGAts manipulate the laws. They lie and use wordsplaining to cover those lies. If Trump gets no punitive consequences for these actions. He and his buddies will try again. Wake up people. Read the indictments. Learn what happened, who caused it and who would have benefited. We cannot afford to be ignorant. Ignorance breeds contempt. Contempt breeds atrocities.
You are exactly right. He must be shown that he is not above the law. All his backers must be shown they are not above the law. There have always been crooks and almost 100% of the time they are made to pay for their crimes. Sometimes it takes awhile, i.e., John Gotti, but he the big crime boss was made to pay. All eyes will be on the first trial beginning tomorrow.
CellyBlue: The bombing of the Birmingham Church and our tragic loss of four beautiful, innocent girls is all-too vivid in my personal memory from the time.
We must always remember.
