Breaking news: Former President Donald Trump has been indicted in Florida on 998 charges of illegally removing those irritating tags on mattresses and pillows.
Several Trump associates also face charges for conspiracy to remove the tags.
In announcing the indictments, special prosecutor Ima Hack, the 712th of her kind to be appointed to look into Trump misdeeds, said there was no choice but to prosecute Trump due to the undeniable fact that the tags explicitly say removing them is illegal and the egomaniacal Trump must be shown that no one is above the law.
Hack, responding to media inquiries, emphasized this is a blatant crime, not the petty examples being bandied about by Republicans concerning the Bidens; things like influence peddling, tax cheating, drug use, illegal gun possession, mishandling classified documents and speaking falsehoods to the public, Congress and judicial figures in general.
Make no mistake, removing these tags is an existential threat to our democratic system of government, Hack emphasized. If the public (sheep) cannot be expected to follow blindly such dictates, social order as we know it will break down and, (gasp), people might begin to make decisions on their own.
If this genie of blind submission escapes the lamp, the hoi polloi might again insist on fair and accurate elections, up to and including removing all the loopholes that enable the ginning up of just enough ballots to win key states in national elections, or key seats in Congressional races.
If scofflaws such as Trump, who not only blatantly removes mattress and pillow tags, but also has the temerity to deny election results, can be allowed to walk around as a free man, our nation is doomed.
Hack repeatedly stressed that Trump’s background as an election denier makes him open to any and all charges that might be rooted out by a never-ending stream of special prosecutors. These investigators, she noted, should not be confused with the puppets Democrats appoint to investigate their alleged wrongs.
Those special prosecutors are there only to provide political cover and to serve as procedural roadblocks to those who are making legitimate inquires about apparent wrongdoing.
As for election denying, Hack bristled when one media member opined that perhaps Democratic luminaries such as Al Gore (2000) and Hillary Clinton (2016) soon will find themselves facing Trump-like scrutiny.
After all, Gore had to be dragged kicking and screaming to conceding his election to George W. Bush, and since has whined long and loud – between inhaling donuts and predicting the environmental end of Earth – about his loss not being a loss at all.
Similarly, Hillary Clinton still was making public appearances in 2019 saying Trump had “stolen” the election from her.
Given what is happening to Trump, is it just a bit surprising that no one is looking into Gore’s climate hypocrisy and his cashing in on it?
Might Hillary, as an avowed election denier, be open to further inquiry into her and Bill’s foundation, her mishandling of classified information, and cashing in on Biden-like name branding?
Hack dismissed such speculation as petty political misdirection. She stated such allegations cannot be confused with the righteousness of the left and its patron saint, Lavrentiy Beria, former head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police, who boasted of his ability to convict the innocent: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
Hack and leftists have massaged that to “Show me the Republican and I’ll show you the crime.”
Alas, Beria eventually found himself on the other end of these politically motivated inquiries, and was executed for treason after Nikita Khrushchev seized power over the Soviet Union in a 1953 coup.
