THE TRUTH
is the Greatest Enemy of the Con
Food for thought: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty for treason is death or not less than five years in prison (with a minimum fine of $10,000 if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the U.S. … So nice of the insurrectionists to leave the noose and gallows from Jan. 6.
As much as DJT wants to wail about witch hunts and stolen elections, reasonable people have accepted that justice matters. Federal prosecutors presented evidence. A grand jury – four so far – determined criminal charges were warranted. #DonTheCon continues to plead not guilty.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Cheetolini reads chapter and verse from Joseph Goebbels’ playbook. Yes, that Goebbels – the Nazi propaganda chief. … After all, Agent Orange has to read chapters and verses from something; obviously, he hasn’t read the Bible:
Exodus 20:2-17
• “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” … Money.
• “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” … Again, money.
• “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” … There are tapes of Tic-Tac-Dough’s rants.
• “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” … Golf! (To be fair, his wife is buried at one of his courses, so maybe he’s visiting.)
• “Honor thy father and thy mother.” … How many bankruptcies by the Hair Apparent?
• “Thou shalt not kill.” … COVID response (or lack of) by Darth Hater.
• “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” … Welp, he is the Serial Feeler.
• “Thou shalt not steal.” … He is The Man of Steal – just ask one of his contractors. Or the National Archives.
• “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” … 30,573 false or misleading claims by King of the Oompa Loompas while POTUS.
• “Thou shalt not covet.” … See: Biden, Joe; Clinton, Hillary; Obama, Barack; Daniels, Stormy; McDougal, Karen; Carroll, E. Jean; Maples, Marla; Trump, Ivanka; etc.
In the game of “Do not pass Go, go straight to Hell,” the Assaulter-in-Chief is batting 1.000. Donald Tax-Duck is truly Hall of Shame worthy.
Then there’s Joe Biden, maybe not the candidate Democrats wanted, but he’s the President we, the people, needed. It’s OK to be empathetic. It’s OK not to make fun of others. It’s OK to be straight (and it’s OK to not be).
For all the “freedom” that right-wing “patriots” want to defend, when will you support women’s rights, accept the 59-year-old Civil Rights Act, and understand that your religion does not prohibit me – it prohibits you? The United States was not founded on Christian principles; the Minutemen and women left England because religion was used as a weapon.
Faith, hope, and love, He said. And love > faith. Hope you understand …
The whataboutism is not so much about what Adolf Twitler says about the Big Lie – the 2020 election. The Financially Embattled Thousandaire knows the grift is coming to an end. Benedict Donald is fighting for the rest of his life.
The Angry Creamsicle surrounded himself with yes-men – and yes, they answered when prosecutors came a-callin’. Poor Donald, he’s exactly who Hillary said.
For those still in full-throat support of Stuporman, y’all know better. The Orange Messiah is a wedge between democracy and maintaining the fragile federal edifice – a republic – that the Founding Fathers birthed. Yet too many refuse to swallow their pride and admit that The Great White Dope duped them. He’s their drug of choice at the ballot box.
God, bless America – and Trumpelthinskin, aka Co-Conspirator No. 1.
