In the prosecution of Trump, the bar’s been lowered to a level that makes misdemeanors a worthy target for the prosecution of former presidents. But in the minds and frothing mouths of many liberals, torturing the charges into felonies is more than justified. The contortions required may look like Cirque du Soleil meets the Chicken Ranch, but a dangerous precedent is being set. A precedent that could easily be used against Biden for his alleged family enrichment through influence peddling.
And as far as Trump’s concerned, I personally wish he’d just ride off into the sunset. Forget prosecution (although I’m all for a Trump gag order, secured tightly, double knotted, and duct taped; see my cartoon from two days ago). Unfortunately, the media and Democrats just can’t quit him. The TDS is so strong that there’s a definite trickle-down TDS effect that prods level-headed Americans, some journalists and even a rube cartoonist to occasionally poke at the abundance of derangement symptoms on display.
Nixon wasn’t prosecuted after he resigned as president because Gerald Ford pardoned him. The pardon was bad for blood thirsty, divisive Americans but good for the country. Now, our lasting memories of Nixon are his helicopter departure followed by his lonely walks on the beach. For Ford’s controversial move, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation awarded its 2001 Profile in Courage Award to him. For more on that period, the book “31 Days” by Barry Werth is an excellent look into the month following Nixon’s resignation.
Apparently, NDS at the time was in no way comparable to present-day TDS afflictions.
