Enlighted Prisoner comment of 7-23-20

As a wise man once said, people are what they do, not what they say, not what they think, and certainly not what they pretend to be.

President Trump's extended record of speeches at rallies, Twitter writings, and press conference statements that are well documented falsehoods, (okay, blatant lies), is the elephant in the room here.  What possible credibility can you give such a person, and why even give him the opportunity.

I don't know about you but frankly I'm fed up with even hearing anything he says.  And we're at a disadvantage because our pandemic locked in their closet corps of news analysists must spend their time regurgitating the free news of jumping on what he says instead of being able to get out and frankly offer the true analysis of what a terrible impact his policies are having on the social fiber of our country.   The media has got to quit making stupid people famous, please.

There's a standard statue of criminal intent in this country that reads it is illegal to impersonate a law enforcement officer or an officer of the military.  It would appear that the Department of Homeland Security is operating under fraudulent color of office in an obvious attempt to usurp the Constituted jurisdiction and authority of a State's law enforcement powers.  Exactly the type of centralized federal powers the framers of the Constitution wanted to avoid.  

I'm beginning to believe that Homeland Security Management performs their job in a way that shows they've been watching too much television and not enough study of the writings for how jurisdiction and authority works in this country's criminal justice system.

Department of Homeland Security.  Think about that folks.  In a lifetime of peace and prosperity since World War II, has the internal threat to our community safety exceeded more than not wanting to see a bunch of hog riding, bearded, leather wearing hell's angels come to town?  And just who started the need for everyone of these three or four lettered regulatory agencies in our government needing some type specialized crowd control  and armed assault trained militarized unit?   The only Federal agency I know of that's charged with investigation of internal threats against the government is the FBI.  Seems like our government's been kept pretty stable by guys wearing suit coats and ties hasn't it?  And don't forget, you tax payers are the ones paying the bill for all this extra internal security that's charging all over the country looking to justify their existence.  Come to think of it, since when did our Federal government need protection from anything but the ballot box?

I don't think you folks really understand what's going on in our country.  It's in a very bad crisis of false expectations and mistrust of government.  There is unrest like we have not seen in a long time.  There is an economy that seems to punish those who depend on it most.  And there is a medical situation that's in a bubble of uncertainty about what to do, when and how.  
It's also an election year and we're hearing from the incumbents that the causes are not their doing?  Well, I'm sorry but the actual truth is that Trump and his administration of governance for more than 3 (that's right three) years rightfully own the situation.  Yes folks, they created it, they own it.  Don't forget to vote because a return of these incumbents is not going to change what we're seeing.

“We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law,” Mueller wrote. “The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false.”

And there you have it.  One side was conducting itself in a proper judicial format, the other wasn't.  No, this Administration choose to hide behind the skirts of false interpretations of Constituted language or questionable judicial precedent in order to do everything possible in preventing this Presidential pretender from revealing tax-payer funded business records or verbal cross-examination and certain condemnation that comes with true character exposure.    

And least you forget, it was that simple Senate majority that prevented any of the Mueller investigative results to be verified by witness testimony before giving their unqualified judgement to end the impeachment proceedings.   Truly our country's most extreme case of denied justice.

I believe Trump's sister Mary would have a lot of telling experiences that would show the country's electorate just how devoid of compassion and human interaction belies this pretender we've put in such an exalted position of our government.  As has been said before, his very record of business failure, marriage failure, education failure, and absence of governmental experience should have resulted in him being denied the office.  But no.  We have an election process that operates on the theory of marketing.  And in this sad case it was not marketing superior qualifications, rather it was the marketing for hatred of an opponent.  We as a nation of sheep were sucker punched into a belief in a character of faulted integrity and wisdom.  Sad. 

I find it interesting that Democrats in the Congress seem to generate legislation that shows an attitude of representative governance and each effort is immediately condemned by the Republican leadership.  Meanwhile, I've observed nothing being generated by Republicans except a rash of Executive Orders that are touted as governance but contain little authority beyond the paper.

Then I constantly see stories that detail how the Republican Party seeks to avoid transparency and accountability for their elected Executive duties.  And, obsessed with finding unqualified boot-lickers to occupy positions that dominate the Judicial Branch. 
But, in my opinion, the Republicans seem to have abandoned our Founding Fathers' position of creating representative government and seem motivated towards the more socialized system of totalitarianism practiced by Communist governments.   (Enlighted Prisoner  6-27-2020)

Enlightened Prisoner   (In response to the Tulsa Political Rally 6-20-20)

Every time this President-pretender speaks at a public forum I find reason for the decline of our national pride in ourselves. To have a leader who can speak such bitter criticism and malice about the efforts of well-meaning fellow citizens, who berates the very system which empowers our democracy to have the checks and balances to prevent absurd government activity, and who reputes his responsibility to provide accountability for his actions and those who are under his management.

Truly we have entered a period where the very fiber of our Constitutional Republic is being unraveled and being played for the benefit of a continued regime whose moral integrity is seemingly non-existent.

When the man charged with the stewardship for our government uses his public forum position to publish known falsehoods and openly show such disrespect for the feelings of a US citizen, what nature of our social conscience does that reflect on?

Really, what shame have we suddenly become immune to in order to tolerate such appalling behavior?

What education system has failed to provide us with a method of abject condemnation for this insult to our pride and dignity?

What judicial system in this country has failed to find reason to fault and remove such behavior from our midst?

Whenever did we as individuals become so untuned to this mortification of our moral judgement and allow this President to use the office to conduct his cultural war on our fellow citizens? 

It may be my opinion but, this is not the type of Country I desire, nor the style of government I would  have making choices for our Country's future.  

Trump's stewardship of our government these past three years has demonstrated completely his lack of education and experienced training for the office he occupies.  It is right and necessary that President Obama inject his observations at this time.  After all, it was an eight-year term that brought our country into a state of political and economical stability. 

President Obama has earned the right to exploit the malfeasance of this Administration's governance and as a citizen I encourage more of it.  This current cadre of Republican officer holders have shown little regard for problem solving and an abundance of evidence-lacking blame and conceived excuses or deflection as justification for their faulted existence. 

Their record of International Relations has earned what can only be called the most disrespected reputation this county has had since we began our quest to influence other countries to the benefits of our freedoms and rights of citizens for self-determination.  

Our Country deserves better.
