What an absolutely shameful and surreal chapter of American history we witnessed yesterday at our country’s capitol.
I was born in ’57 and this clearly was the darkest day in our country’s history in my lifetime.
Worse than the act of foreign terrorism on 9/11. Even worse than Timothy McVeigh’s act of domestic terrorism at the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
Why worse than both of those two acts of premeditated terror you might ask?
Because this act was planned far in advance by the sitting president of the United States towards his own country and government. Again…from the Bob Jackson School of Law we refer to the legal Latin doctrine of mens rea. While other fathers were teaching their sons how to build a tree house…my dad taught me about mens rea and the motion of limine…and other such things. Blew me away when Joe Mixon’s lawyers used an Alford Plea in his defense. I might talk about Joe Mixon next week. Bob never used an Alford Plea best as I can recall.
Don’t get me started on voir dire or re-cross examination. Goddamn…Bob would be all over this with me right now. He was re-reading the Supreme Court decision on Gore vs. Bush the week before he passed. I miss those talks so much. Excuse the profanity.
Mens rea is the criminal premediated intent by one party to commit a crime against another party with complete willful premeditated intent. There’s mens rea all over this act of domestic terrorism perpetrated by Trump, Guliani, and Dipshit, Jr. which we all witnessed yesterday at our nation’s capitol.
Should be a slam dunk for any capable federal prosecutor.
Which brings me to Joe Biden’s selection of Merrick Garland to be the next U.S. Attorney General. Just so we’re clear Merrick Garland was one of the federal prosecutor who suceessfully prosecuted Tim McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing case. This makes me almost certain Joe Biden has already had enough of Donald Trump and at some point federal charges will be filed. Trump is going to need all $220 million or so in his legal war chest I would think for all his legal problems once his presidential immunity is gone in fourteen days.
It would be nice for the country if he were to spend the rest of his pathetic life in prison. Wonder how long Ivanka and Dipshit Jr. would visit him once the laundered cash has dried up?
If I were Merrick Garland I’d ask Doug Jones from Alabama or Hakeem Jeffries to come on board to prosecute this piece of shit. I can see it in their eyes. I loved Hakeem’s work in the impeachment trial. I like his game. Definitely a first round draft pick. Both of these guys hate Trump more than I do. It should be a relatively easy case to prosecute in front of a legitimate jury. Lock ’em up.
Here’s McVeigh before he was executed doing an interview with Ed Bradley on Sixty Minutes.
By the way all you Trump dumbasses…did you notice when Trump told you he was going to march to the capitol he would be marching as well. What happned…was it the bone spurs again at just the wrong time. You clueless dumb motherf—— need to smarten up in a hurry in a very significant way. Maybe some of you idiots should go back to the crime scene and leave your names, addresses, and social security numbers. Good lord…you knew there would be security cameras, right?
Michael Pence…you just became interim POTUS for the next two weeks, buddy. Don’t let him blow up the world. You should have walked away from this loser the first time you saw the Hollywood Access video. Handle the next two weeks and then walk away from politics and go back to doing talk radio. Just saying.
Be a kind American today if you can.
