Enlightened Prisoner - The Truth and Irony in News

 

On 2-24-22, in a letter to the Editor of the Shelton Mason County Journal, the Enlightened Prisoner wrote thus: 

 It was the mouth of Trump that caused the consternation and inadequate responses to our pandemic, his mouth that set-in motion the riotous insurrection against our house of government, his mouth that has put party politics as a power struggle rather than a negotiated means of governmental administration, his mouth that has made the art of lying, backbiting, character assassination, and unsophisticated leadership talk the stuff of today's unhinged politicians. 

 Federal Judge Amit Mchta, last week, ruled in his published judicial opinion document that the civil damages charge against Former President Trump for causing the January 6^th riot actions, damage and personal assaults may proceed.  And in that ruling he stated the following:

"After all, the President's actions here do not relate to his duties of faithfully executing the laws, conducting foreign affairs, commanding the armed forces, or managing the Executive Branch," Mehta added. "They entirely concern his efforts to remain in office for a second term. These are unofficial acts, so the separation-of-powers concerns that justify the President's broad immunity are not present here."

His troubles are Trump's own making and retribution is coming.  Meanwhile, it's up to us the informed electorate to recover from this era of unhinged politics by selection of candidates that represent the values represented in our governing documents, not the words of candidates using false agendas for finding fault and hate as their platform of performance.  This is not a time to engage in the obdurate behavior for petty party politics of obstruction for the sake of power. 

Our Country’s strength for opportunity and economic stability has come this far out of respect for being a country of laws, not personages.
