Well…with the Mueller investigation coming to a head, I think it’s time to understand where the idea of “can’t indict a sitting president” came from…and to put a little context into the idea that no one is above the law. To start with, the “memo” in question was written back in the days of Watergate but it wasn’t written for the purpose everyone assumes…it really didn’t have anything to do with Nixon…according to reporting on Rachel last night, the memo was an attempt to ensure that Spiro Agnew couldn’t ascend to the presidency since he was under investigation for influence peddling and taking bribes throughout his career…as was Nixon at the time with impeachment clouds starting to gather on the horizon. The only mention of indicting the president was a throwaway line from the memo that people have clung to as law and time has seen it grow in stature that people there at the creation of the memo just can’t understand…so, this is no law, or statute that prevents indicting a president…just the opinion of one person responding to a completely different crisis. We need to look back to the context of what the founders were thinking when they wrote the constitution…coming just after unshackling themselves from a monarch who was above the law, they purposely didn’t want that same problem with any elected president…so, nowhere in the constitution is there any idea that the president is above the law and is immune to the laws of the country. I think this whole idea is going to be tested in the near future by the SDNY when they finish their investigations into the trump organization, foundation, and every damn thing that idiot boy has touched…remember, they already have proof that trump committed two felonies at this point but haven’t charged him yet….there has to be many, many more felonies waiting in the wings…impeach…

Just one more on ole Ben…
Well…I know I’ve been doing a lot of these on ole Ben Carson but damn, he’s such an easy target that I just have to….and the latest thing shows that this idiot has an ego that is bigger than anyone’s in the world probably…the other day, trying to justify his absolute lack of political experience and knowledge, he compared himself to the founding fathers, stating that none of them had ever held elected office either…but, when he was told that most of them really had held offices in the early governments before the US was born, he comes back with the lame, lame qualifier that none of them had held FEDERAL office….which of course is true since there were no federal offices at that time. The whole idea that this idiot is comparing himself to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest is just the worst sort of egoism…the only thing he has in common with any of these guys is his first name…to compare himself to the people who built the structure of this country that endures to this day is so over the top that I am going to stop commenting here and just let that soak in for a while…what a maroon…..
