(51) WATCH: Rep. Jeffries jokes about subpoenaing Baseball Hall of Fame over Jeter – YouTube
What an American tragedy which didn’t have to evolve in this manner to this degree. If only a competent adult had been occupying the most important political office in the world this threshold would not be something the country would be dealing with today.
If only a capable litigator like Hakeem Jeffries would have been given the power of voir dire and been able to select an impartial jury and present all of the evidence.
What if?
If you’ll recall the major theme from the fifty-three GOP senators was a presidential election was coming so why not allow the country to be the jury and we’ll accept their decision. That to a GOP senator was their defense of Donald Trump. Not that was he innocent. Not that he was competent or of sound mind. But that the country would be the jury.
Here’s the results of the jury…Joe Biden won the popular vote by over seven million votes and had the fifth highest Electoral College margin of victory since 1976 in a U.S Presidential Election.
It was an overwhelming verdict by the jury. Yet here we sit today still listening to this Mickey Mouse bullshit from Donald Trump and his seventy-four million enablers.
Let’s put this in historical perspective:
In the Civil War the Union suffered 364,511 deaths.
In World War I the U.S. suffered 116,516 deaths.
In World War II the U.S. suffered 405,399 deaths.
In the Vietnam War the U.S. suffered 58,000 deaths.
By the time we reach the end of February… I would estimate the U.S will have crossed the 410,000 COVID death threshold.
This isn’t funny. This isn’t like you 74 million people are watching an episode of Southern Charm on some goofy reality television show.
Allow me this analogy in closing…if your nine year old ask you for the the car keys and you gave them to him and he then proceeded to be involved in a fatal car accident…would you consider yourself liable for what happened?
Would you hold yourself responsible?
Surely there is some sense of justice and a thread of decency in your seventy-four million hearts at some point in all of this. Surely the grace of God will tell you what should be in your hearts and in your judgment.
Your Honor…I have nothing else to say at this time. Thank you for allowing me to speak to the Court in this manner.
