A Disgruntled Founding Father 0

Brian Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, suggests that, on this Father’s Day, the “Father of our country” would be less than happy with the behavior of some of our country’s current inhabitants. He spotlights their spinelessness (emphasis added):

George Washington and his Continental Army — the folks who fought and died to birth the United States of America — gave the full measure for their country. They didn’t like the redcoats, King George’s army, which tried to keep them colonists of the Crown. But they couldn’t stand and didn’t brook traitors and those who worked for their own benefit to the detriment of the new country they were creating.

Imagine how Washington would have felt about people like Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who just can’t bring himself to condemn the acts for which Trump has been charged.

(snip)

And how do you think President Washington would feel about the rest of the motley crew of elected Republicans in the Senate and the House who roar in favor of law and order and run from the need to stand up for it because it would put them at odds with their fearless and feckless leader?

The complete piece is worth your while.

If One Standard Is Good, Two Must Be Better 0

Michael Paul Williams finds himself dismayed at the willingness of the self-styled “law and order” party to look the other way when the (most credibly) accused is Donald Trump. A tiny bit from his article (emphasis added):

It is a sad day for our country when an entire political party remains in thrall to a man intent on crashing America’s venerable institutions into a cliff. And it is a dreadful day when lawmakers, who should know better, argue that Trump should somehow be above the law because he is running for president.

The entire piece is worth your while.

Gutting Out the Vote 0

The editorial board of The Charlotte Observer dissects North Carolina’s Republicans’ plan to take over everything. A snippet:

These days Republican legislative leaders don’t believe in the idea of three equal branches providing checks and balances on each other. Instead they want one dominant branch of government – the legislative – with the executive branch limited to carrying out the legislature’s orders and the judicial branch there to say whatever the legislature does is OK.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Will Bunch minces no works in sharing his theory as to why Donald Trump’s dupes, symps, and fellow travelers are rallying so fiercely to Trump’s defense. A snippet; follow the link for his reasoning.

Simply put, Trump and his people believe the laws exist to rein in people who don’t look like them — whether it’s Philadelphia’s William Johnson and the hundreds of thousands of faceless Black and brown Americans trapped in our national gulag, or desperate refugees at the border. That is exactly what Trump, DeSantis, and all the Republicans out on the campaign trail are talking about when they prattle on about “freedom” — the freedom to dominate other people.

The indictment of Donald Trump is the most powerful symbol imaginable that for some people — but especially the white conservative dudes who love him the most — their obscene notion of freedom might no longer apply.
