This country has become a bigger banana republic than Guatemala, or wherever it is that they grow bananas.
Our ex-president tried to steel an election. He pressured Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of Georgia to find 11,000 votes. And he and his advisors attempted to appoint alternate electors in Georgia and other states, to replace lawfully selected electors. What Trump was trying to pull is what goes on in a banana republic.
In New York on the other hand the prosecution of the ex-president is a complete sham. He paid off a couple of women so they wouldn't spill the beans on his extramarital affairs. And that's a violation of campaign disclosure laws? Give me a break.
I figure he'll probably get convicted, because Alvin Bragg chose to bring the case in Manhattan. Something like 90% of the population there vote for Democrats, and the judge, while not as partisan as Kangaroo Engoron, doesn't like Trump.
One of the attorneys who defended the Trump Organization in its 2022 civil trial in New York City was on MSNBC, of all places, this morning. Judge Merchan presided over the case. Merchan's also presiding over the criminal trial that kicked off today. The attorney said he was interviewing a prospective juror. He asked her what she thought of Trump. She said something like he's a cock sucking, mother fucking son of a bitch. Then he asked her if she could render a fair and impartial verdict. She answered no. Merchan took over. He said if I instruct you on the law, can you put aside your prejudices and decide in accordance with the law. She said yes. Merchan did not strike her and I believe she ended up serving on the jury.
Trump's attorney went on to say that the Trump organization would have received a fairer hearing in Staten Island than it did in Manhattan.
Like Trump's games in Georgia, Arizona, etc., and the $455 million fine that Kangaroo Engoron levied on Trump, the Stormy Daniels/Karen McDougal trial is another indication that we've slipped into banana republic-hood. Maybe it's time to leave for a lesser banana republic. The taxes are lower and the women are hotter in Colombia.
