Can Politicians Read?

 Back in the Stone Age when I was growing up, we all learned to read in school. If you couldn't read, you didn't graduate. Sometime in the last 50 years, the government ran ads claiming, "Reading is Fundamental".  The government has long since abandoned that idea.

Now, in the name of equity, we encourage people to be stupid. We don't care if our children can read, write or add. Just as long as they all get the same grades, the government is happy. As long as they are free to make up words for "their pronouns", everything will be fine. 

Ours is a society engaged in the pursuit of mediocrity. My latest example of this is the Fulton County District Attorney who has indicted Donald Trump and 18 others in her quest to make challenging elections a criminal offense. She also seeks to end free speech if it involves an election. I challenge both her legal and mental qualifications. 

The DA, that's District Attorney or Dumb Ass, you pick, seeks to try all 19 defendants in the same court at the same time. This is an act of such incredible stupidity that it defies belief.

While I realize that I am probably a generation ahead of the mindless DA, I am compelled to ask a single question about this idea. Woman, have you ever heard of the Chicago Seven? If you have not, get your ass to a library and get some reading material on the Chicago Seven. If you have heard of them, get your ass to a mental health professional or a real lawyer for some advice.

Trying Trump and 18 other defendants at the same time will make the Chicago Seven look like a day in traffic court. For starters, I doubt that the logistics of fitting nineteen defendants and their legal teams plus the Secret Service detachment into a courtroom at the Fulton County courthouse can be handled. Your first step should be to move that trial to the Georgia Dome.

I am fascinated by prosecutors who take years to assemble "evidence" and then want to go to trial in sixty days. The defense should be entitled to an equal amount of time to prepare. Of course, that would not achieve your real goal of interfering with the 2024 Presidential Election. 

I forgot that the Dumb Ass also wants the case to be televised. Even in Chicago, they did not televise the circus. This shows that Democrats get dumber by the day.

The trial of the Chicago Seven was an absolute circus. Before it was over Judge Hoffman had cited all of the defendants and most of their lawyers for contempt of court. The trial took over four months. Five of the defendants were found guilty of crossing state lines to incite a riot.

Everything was appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where the contempt cases were either overturned or remanded to a different judge for trial. The judge and the prosecutors were censured for their behavior. After more than two years, every criminal conviction was overturned. So, the country spent a fortune to stage a circus when Ringling Brothers was still available for people to watch at a bargain price.

How do you think a trial with nineteen defendants and thirty or more attorneys is going to go? Based on previous large trials, it won't go well. Of course, one would have to have read about past similar trials to know that fact. 

History is circular, the future is in the past.
