Several weeks ago, I wrote a satirical piece for Facebook entitled, “Have I Got This Straight.”  In it I had Mr. Trump gather all the members of Congress, TV cameras, and the nation’s audience gather in front of the Capital and shoot his son to prove he was invulnerable to impeachment.  Sadly, my prophecy came true yesterday.  Despite incontrovertible evidence, Mr. Trump was exonerated.  Presidents in the future can now trample our Declaration of Independence and  Constitution at will without fear of reprisal.  These sacred documents are now quaint pieces of parchment filled with worthless writing.

The senators voting against conviction clearly did so for craven political reasons.  As Anderson Cooper said on February 12, 2021, “The Fix Is Likely In” for an acquittal.  Many senators claimed the case was unconstitutional despite historical common law judgements to the contrary.  But, even granting their case, the Senate voted to hold a trial under the auspices of the Constitution.  Its members were then obliged to weigh evidence and make an impartial judgement like any other jury.  Then, the issue of constitutionality could be appealed to the arbiter of such issues: The Supreme Court.  By evading this proper path to justice, you “dodged the bullet” of being honest jurors.  In short, who do you think you’re kidding?

So, Mr. Trump, you won.  You can do whatever you want.  Run for re-election and be inaugurated in a brown uniform featuring a swastika surmounted with your capital T.  You can be guaranteed your election will not be rigged because your black shirted thugs will invade our polling stations and dictate the proper choice for all voters.  Afterwards, they can lead offenders to concentration camps and the gas chambers.  Such will be your liberties offered to all Americans.  On second thought, why wait?  Now is the time for you to raid the Capital again and proclaim yourself president.  Mr. Biden will assuredly vacate the White House for your return.  Then, at the end of your days, you can rest assured that future presidents will not be bothered by smidgens of law for they will be laws onto themselves and called “Heil Trump.”

Now, for those senators who voted against conviction, shame.  But you’ve done your deed.  Just, please, do not call yourselves loyal Americans.  You mock the words.  Also, do not wear an American flag in the lapels of your suits for you desecrate it and the thousands of Americans who died defending it without a political agenda.
