VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
In the 2024 presidential election…
Like your life depends upon it…
It does!
Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) of America Justices are just politicians in black robes. And now, the conservative (Republican) justices are fighting to crown Trump King of America. It is reasonable to believe that these politicians are pulling for him to win the 2024 presidential election because they just ruled in his favor in Trump v. United States: They granted him complete immunity for all acts that he took while he was president. Oh sure, in the 119 pages of the ruling, written by SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court said a lot of mumbo jumbo about official acts, unofficial acts, absolute immunity, and presumptive immunity but they did not define or in any way clarify what these things were.
Instead, they left that up to Judge Tanya Chutkan who is handling Trump’s trial in a lower court. And upon appeal, which is more likely than not to happen, after Judge Chutkan makes her ruling, the decision will end up right back in the Supreme Court. That way, based upon the fact that they ruled as they did in the first place on presidential immunity, it is reasonable to believe that they will define and clarify things in Trump’s favor. Then in the future, depending on whether there is a Democrat or a Republican president, it is reasonable to assume that they will continue in that vein: They will rule one way if it is a Democrat and another way if it is a Republican.
If Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, this SCOTUS ruling along with the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 (a.k.a. The Presidential Transition Project) document will give Trump all of the authority that he needs to rule like a king, have a roadmap to eradicate democracy as we now know it and implement the changes listed in Project 2025, and continue to avoid being held to account for any wrong that he has done just as he has always done throughout his whole life. Even if he loses the election and does not become king, he will still likely be cleared of any crimes, civil or criminal, that he committed while he was president if information from “official acts” (a key piece of the SCOTUS mumbo jumbo) was used to indict/convict him.
Further, he is likely to be cleared of any crimes – again, civil or criminal, he committed before he held office if information from “official acts” while he was in office was used to indict/convict him. So, you see, the chameleon act by the SCOTUS is no longer in play. It is all in; it is very carefully concealing its hand. And it is daring the American people to call. If the American people do call, the outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be the evidence of whether the SCOTUS was bluffing or held a winning hand. In other words, if President Biden is reelected, the SCOTUS was bluffing; if Trump wins, they had a winning hand. So, if the American people do not call and the SCOTUS is holding a winning hand, the only difference will be that accepting the outcome might be a little less painful: but the results will be the same.
I cannot overstate how important it is for all American voters to get out and vote in the 2024 presidential election. You must get out and vote like your life depends on it; because it does! Do not sit this one out because you do not like either candidate, think that both are too old to be president, or for any other reason. And when you do get out and vote, do not write in the name of a candidate since you know that this candidate cannot win. You are not helping the situation and to do that is tantamount to sitting out the election. Do not make excuses as to why you are not going to vote. The 2024 presidential election is a binary decision; either you want America to remain a democracy or you do not. Make a decision, not excuses. VOTE! And always remember, whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, your vote is the most important one of all…unless you don’t use it!
