On 4-14-26, the Washington Post penned a contribution: "Opinion | The Justice Department’s position on presidential papers is astounding", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Let us recall why the DOJ's opinion is unremarkable. The law as written had decades of precedent involving past Presidents which have never challenged the laws meaning or application. An opinion from a mere lawyer at the Department of Justice at this time is just that. An opinion. Until that lawyer wears a black robe and handles a gavel of judicial authority their opinion is just an opinion and carries no more authority than an opinion from you or me. Why WAPO doesn't opine that fact of law to show the Trump administration's resident incompetency brings into question their journalistic obligation to keep the public informed, rather than giving legitimacy to the Trump lack of governance ability. But I thank them for not leading the article with still another pic of Trump or his collection of Dunces.

      On 4-7-26, the Washington Post penned an article that: "How a little-known contractor helped direct operations at FEMA for a year", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Hardly a day goes by without new discoveries of corruption and incompetence in the Trump run administration. While an impotent Congress sits on its hands, a Trump pocketed Supreme Court dishes up excused judgments (not thought-provoking interpretations of Constitutional law), and A biased and non-independent Department of Justice chases political foes (that are US citizens) for retribution sans justice. Trump is truly taking our government in a head-long crash to an “Evil Empire”. I for one citizen cannot remain silent any longer.

       On 4-5-26, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Trump threatens Iran with ‘Hell’ over Strait of Hormuz in profane post", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

"...a crude and expletive-ladened post on Truth Social..." I guess that was necessary because the President ran out of diplomatic reasoning to justify his little ego-driven war. His claims of getting rid of this illegal regime aren't being reflected in the continuing air and missile strikes that seem to continuously count civilian deaths. The same game Putin plays in Ukraine that has earned him an outstanding warrant for war crimes by the Hauge.

        On 4-1-26, (April Fool's Day), the Washington Post penned an article that: "Trump says he plans to attend Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

What a horrible example of a morally corrupt and inelegantly unequipped spectator to have in the courtroom of our governments' ultimate legal representatives. What do you want to bet that he's just there to make with the intimidating stare.  (And as a footnote, it was noted that Trump showed up at 10:00 AM and left at 11:10 AM just as the ACLU was starting its arguments for the birthright decision)

       On 3-25-26, the Washington Post penned the article that: "White House’s Iran memes horrify many veterans of U.S. wars", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

A president seeking war authorization SHOULD lay out the reasons for action and spell out his objectives. Trump failed to do either. Our ego driven and delusional president has taken us to war all on his own. Trump gives us every reason not to trust him yet demands unrepentant loyalty. He's turning our military defense forces into the same type of administration enforcement arm he created with the ICE thugs, only with a bigger mission.

       On 3-22-26, a Meta (Facebook) posting expressing displeasure with President Trump's remarks about the recent death of Robert Muller resulted in the following remark from the Enlighted Prisoner,

Trump's unhinged and petty remarks about the passing of Robert Muller that were expressed on the "Truth (Un)Social" social media platform, a business that is owned by the Trump organization and one that pays him for his use of it, truly represent what an unethical and totally vindictive mean-spirited individual he is. His record of actions disgracing the Constitutional duties and protocols for the elected office of President by abuse and misuse is only exceeded by the inactions of the elected members of Congress who refuse to hold him, his Administration and his Cabinet in Constitutional accountability. A duty which Congress has abandoned but is being pursued by our Judicial Branch, an independent Constitutional authority for the legal administration of our government.

        On 3-19-26, the Washington Post penned the article: "Trump threatens to blow up major Iranian gas field as energy prices soar higher", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Maybe it's time for a historical reminder. Remember the Berlin wall coming down? It was the poster event that announced the destruction of Russian's Communist government. The public perception was the failure of communisms' ideology when the actual cause was economic disaster. That's right, the arms race between the US and Russia had bankrupted the Russian economy. It was the later discoveries of Russia's vast oil and gas reserves that brought the country back and Putin's regime that created Russia's Oligarchy fussed totalitarian government.

Now, fast forward to the strategy being used to force the US into these expensive incursion wars that's rapidly burning up our military resources and the huge amounts of money going to our military Industrial complex to replenish those resources. Just thought I'd point out something overlooked about history effects.

       On 3-19-26, the Washington Post penned the article: "Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

This report was made for show and lacks substantive basis. No definitive evidence was offered to establish its authentication as threating. This is an example of WAPO adherence to the administration's gaslighting campaign and an example of appeasement reporting and the shame of compromised media.

       On 3-17-26, the Washington Post penned an article that: "Judge reinstates 1,000 Voice of America employees, deems firings illegal", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

Public opinion is in and reports, this is the most cruel and arrogant administration to ever run our government. But bad as that is, his first and now this Trump administration owns the title of most incompetent. And it's unfortunate we need wait for an election to punish an even more incompetent Congress.

       On 3-15-26, the Washington Post penned an article that the "FCC chief threatens broadcasters as Trump criticizes coverage of Iran war", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

How rude and empty WAPO's coverage of news has become. The President gives a typical childish truth social network rant that shouldn't pass community guidelines, and you chose to make a headline story that does nothing but add to his list of embarrassing displays of communication incompetency.

I'd preferer to hear the intelligent wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King included in your story who said, "It is immoral to seek the humiliation of an opponent rather than win his understanding."

But an immoral President is what our money infused elites bought for us, isn't it.
