Absolutely beautiful, love this piece. But far too good for this thread.
Guilty of that but no more! The last few years have changed my views. Cynicism not a trait I am comfortable with, c’est la vie.

Now, I’ve written repeatedly that I’m not Trump’s biggest fan, so I’m sure people would expect me to be happy that he was convicted of 34 felony counts this past Thursday in New York. But, sadly, I find myself writing in defense of one of America’s most difficult men to defend because I think the decisions to indict and prosecute Trump were woefully misled and likely sped us toward America’s political decay.

Check VISA free countries for the US.
Check diplomatic immunity laws.
Some of the can’t travel to countries are on that list.
This is a good example where ones preference, clouds the facts.
Over $ 50 million was donated to Trump in the first 24 hours.

As a member of the law enforcement in my state for more than a decade before I retired, I can assure you I check my facts and reexamine all, compare to five sources, then make a sane and rational decision.
You, the rest of the world, and myself have the choice to make and give our evaluations, and common sense opinions.
Right is right, wrong is wrong, and morals and no conscience when breaking the laws of our country is a standard all should be held accountable for.

The problem with US politics is both sides (Left & Right) have a sect that has leaned more to their extremist sides, and the overall influence of Corporatocracy, instead of working jointly for what is best for our nation as a whole.

Dare not think too much about the causes of the Civil War. Main aspects: states vs. federal rights, slavery, economics, and the election of Abraham Lincoln.
Watch a lot of PBS America/UK

As an aside, one might notice that each and every country has their own “Rattlesnake king”.
Humans are all flawed…some simply flaunt it and get away with it better than others.

This is what is see. I have dealt with Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union soldiers. Their countries were know as Socialist Democratic countries.
Look at what the Democrats are calling themselves now, “Social Democrats”. Are we not seeing the connection? Those countries, plus a few more, North Korea and China, and we all know, or should know, how these countries deal with political opponents.
Am I the only one making this connection?
Wake up America.
