The MOST important LESSON LEARNED from the Trump Era


 

The MOST important LESSON LEARNED from the Trump Era

"We the People" have to "make lying wrong again!!!!"

 

I know this is jumping ahead some, there is still a possibility that Trump will come out and win November 5, 2024.  I do not want to jinx anything.  We need to GET OUT the VOTE November 5, 2024. 

I got to thinking "We the People" elected a president in 2016 that paid $25 million to settle a claim of fraud that had been pending for the entire multi-year election, i.e., "Donald Trump's fraudulent university[1]".  HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?  Should "We the People" tighten up our civil or criminal fraud statutes? 

Trump got elected with the assistance if not in a conspiracy with a foreign power, i.e., Russia/Putin.  Should "We the People" tighten up our election laws to better preclude foreign interference during and subsequent elections? 

"We the People" had the Mueller Investigation that laid out illegal Obstruction of Justice[2] for us.  Should "We the People" change if not enforce a prosecution of a president while in office or suspend the statute of limitations while in office?

"We the People" had two impeachments i.e.:

1.    "Abuse of power, obstruction of Congress", Allegations that Trump unlawfully solicited Ukrainian authorities to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election

2.    "Incitement of insurrection", Trump's conduct before and during the U.S. Capitol attack; Trump–Raffensperger phone call

Should "We the People" tighten up the impeachment process and take politics out of it?

Since Trump left office, "We the People" have had criminal "Hush Money Case" in New York, and civil Financial Fraud case in New York where he was found criminally and civilly guilty, yet he claims immunity in both.  Should "We the People" tighten clear up the issue of immunity.  To accept Supreme Court precedent, you have to believe that "We the People" sub silentio[3] traded the "King can do no wrong" for the absolute immunity of the President, ever-present Judges, Prosecutors, Police and others?[4]

Add Jack Smith's January 6th [5] and Florida Documents case[6] - and as of July 2024, fake electors from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Nevada have been charged with crimes.  Should "We the People" clean up our electoral college?  Not to mention any issue with criminal culpability for the Presidential Records Act (PRA)?

Yes "We the People" need to do all those things. 

But to be honest those are all Band-Aids not fixes. 

To fix the problem of another Trump/Vance, "We the People" need to take up the issue of Public Corruption of Liars and Fear Mongers like the Springfield Ohio Citizens Natural born and green card holders (https://apnews.com/article/haitian-immigrants-springfield-charges-trump-vance-012af00a8677da5caed55d03e8779774).  Imagine if there had been a way to silence Trump's original lies and fear mongering of the "Birther Claims" not to mention his "Golden Escalator" claims of ubiquitous "Mexican drug dealers and rapist" coming this way. 

Trump's 30,573 lies in 4 years office as reported by the Washington Post. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/ )

New York Attorney General Letitia James' office said the current Republican nominee's appeal is awash in "meritless legal arguments." (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-state-urges-appeals-court-uphold-donald-trumps-nearly-500-million-c-rcna167756 )

"We the People" have to learn what every family if not every small town knows. 

"We the People" have to "make lying wrong again!!!!"

[3] sub silentio is a Latin phrase that means "under silence" or "in silence". It's often used in legal contexts to describe something that's implied but not explicitly stated. For example, a court might overrule a case's holding sub silentio without explicitly stating that it's doing so.  Briscoe v. LaHue,  460 U. S. 362
