People often inaccurately quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Consistency is critical to mathematics (e.g., values of 1 & 0 are constant), languages (words have consistent meanings) & other things vital to society. That includes laws. 1/8
There still is time for Pres Biden to invoke emergency powers and stop the inauguration today of a person who was part of an insurrection (Jan 6) & who took office in 2017 as s/he gave “aid or comfort to” an enemy of this country, the dictator Vladimir Putin of Russia. 2/8
Yesterday, trump bragged 3 times about how he rigged the 2024 election w/Elon Musk’s help. A very few categories of people (e.g., brain-dead idiots a/k/a hosts of WIBC morning radio shows in Indy; white evangelicals some of whom hold office) might think this is okay. 3/8
trump was a beneficiary of treason, w/which he was complicit, in 2016. Putin, not American voters, gave trump that office. trump lost in 2020 and has whined about that loss. Now trump is telling the world he stole the 2024 election. (Follow Cassie Jackson on FB) 4/8
Then there were those corrupt and lying justices (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barret) he was able to put on SCOTUS. Remember consistency? Sen McConnell FOR ONE YEAR refused to allow Pres Obama’s nominee, Garland, to have a Senate vote because the next Pres 5/8
should name that nominee. But wait! They rushed the nominee of a “Handmaiden,” Amy Barrett to rob the next Pres - Biden - from making that nomination. Today we’ll have a dictator shortly after 11 am. Pres biden must act. He can invoke the same emergency powers that 6/8
Putin’s punk bitch (a/k/a) trump has said he’d use. That’s the only way to save this country. If you don’t like it, you can go (SCOTUS case, 403 U.S. 15 held this four-letter transitive verb is protected political speech) fuck yourself. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 7/8
