Judge dismisses GOP-led states lawsuit to block student loan forgiveness plan wrote the Washington Post and on 10-20-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

"Republicans claim it's not right for taxpayers to foot the bill for debt the students knowingly gave themselves. What about the Savings & Loan bailout? What about the big bank's bailout? What about the auto industry bailout? What about farm subsidies paying farmers not to grow? What about...?"

 Suspect in custody after five killed, including off-duty officer, in North Carolina shooting reported by the Washington Post, and on 10-14-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

The inability of the National Rifle Association (NRA) to acknowledge the problems associated with an overabundance of retail sold weapons and, ignoring their original intent for national training programs that ensure civilian firearms were in the hands of the responsible and safety trained is a disgrace.

Instead, they have become a spoiled hierarchy using donor monies to feather their benefits nest and political motivators for legislative actions to protect the gun manufacturing and sales cabal while denying national and local governmental attempts to find viable solutions to a problem that's a drain on their tax resources.

 New evidence to show Trump was warned of violence on Jan. 6 said the Washington Post, and on 10-12-22. the Enlightened Prisoner wrote thus:

As a US Citizen the most chilling aspect of all this hyperbola is not that my preferred form of government was attacked for totally insane reasons, rather it's seeing the suppression by government's three branches of elected and appointed leadership for giving such little regard for the total truth and transparency of these troubling events.

 Opinion | Distinguished persons of the week: Accountability for lawyers who betrayed democracy wrote the Wash Post, and on 10-8-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

“But attorneys are bound by a code of professional conduct that forbids them from crossing certain lines, including knowingly making false claims, filing frivolous lawsuits or motions, and doing anything to further a crime."

It’s why a lot of Trump’s legal representatives are, and should be, in as much trouble as him. That code should also apply when their actions affect the social order of our country’s citizens. There’s not a court in the country that has taken up the frivolous lawsuits of voting irregularities and found any merit to any of them. Why? A total lack of evidence that’s required for an actionable suit. Yet, these “officers of the court” continue to hawk and further the crime of the phony election lies which becomes a double hit when you consider the number of lawyers who are also elected legislators and are under even a second sworn code to uphold Constituted law.

These attorneys at the bar have disgraced their profession and their personal standards and values of ethics and accountability. They deserve no less than total disbarment.

 Opinion | Yet another lawsuit shows how abortion bans violate religious freedom, a Wash Post piece and on 10-8-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

The Roe vs Wade decision intended, "...that women in the United States had a fundamental right to choose whether to have abortions without excessive government restriction..."

Then President Obama, (a very wise male standard bearer), stated, "...if you don't believe in abortion, don't practice it. But don't foster your religious beliefs on everyone else..."

It seems that a woman's right of choice to spend the greatest portion of their productive life providing, protecting and financially supporting a child of their own creation is an intrinsic value. And is certainly not a value that deserves controlling interference from male-dominated legislatures nor courtrooms. And that is exactly what has happened and why this political carnival is little but an irrational governmental overreach.

"I do not lie, cheat, or steal and I'll not abide that blithering lying fool Trump who owns all those traits. Nor his corrupted imitators."

Thus said the Enlightened Prisoner on 10-4-22.

 Opinion | Just how racist is the MAGA movement? This survey measures it.  And on 9-27-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

These results demonstrate pretty clearly that racist attitudes are formed by a lack of exposure to US societal historical education and, the pressures associated with an overabundance of peer group association. It's the same arrogant attitude that makes such a significant portion of our population believe they really occupy a superior class of individual over others.

How about the historical fact that the US's best-selling liquor, (Jack Daniel's), was actually the mesh recipe created by a plantation slave? Or that only 1/6th of the Southern State's population were slave owners, yet they controlled the politics that drove the victimized attitude into civil war footing?

Opinion | Why Trump may be at a tipping point by Washington Post Editorial writer Jennifer Rubin, and on 9-22-22, the Enlightened Prisoner commented thus:

Jennifer, when the dust settles on the miscreant laced career of defeated President Donald Trump, your journalistic efforts to expose and explain his unqualified and morally corrupt behavior will be remembered as a tribute to our national principle for an unfettered press. And certain proof of the inadequacy for cable news in an entertainment format.

   Opinion | Trump’s legal problems multiply as his excuses disappear wrote the Washington Post, and on 9-14-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

There's beginning to be no doubt that the defeated President Trump is the lowest form of moral corrupt individual we've ever experienced in an elected public servant office. The lying subterfuge that Trump and his attorneys are creating is naught but damning.

This whole event of illegal taking and concealing property that rightly belongs to the United States Government is intolerable. And the idea that this miscreant is afforded such profusely privileged indulgence that would certainly not be afforded any other US Citizen is appalling.

This is absolutely treasonous behavior and a total violation of the oath of office he declared before a Supreme Court Justice and the United States public upon his election to uphold and defend our US Constitution.

As a US Citizen I demand that justice be served and this matter resolved.

 An ex-professor spreads election myths across the U.S., one town at a time by a WAPO story, and on 9-11-22, the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:

“I don’t think he understands what he’s talking about most of the time,” said Greenhalgh. “He takes things and extrapolates them to a place that comes completely out of thin air. It sounds good and people believe it because it sounds authoritative if you don’t know much.”

The operative words here folks are, "...if you don't know much." And that is the reason such hucksters as Clements exist. You are rubes who are controlled by what you hear instead of following your own instinct to know more. And that role is what's causing a country of indentured servants to a false premise. Donald Trump has no moral sense or compassion to govern, only to rule and line his pockets in selfish disregard for his followers.
