Just read about a sad record in the States last year

Quote:

About 49,500 people took their own lives in the United States last year. This is the highest number of suicides in the country ever, figures from the government show, according to Ritzau.

According to The Washington Post, the increase may have something to do with, among other things, the fact that more people get depression and have limited opportunities to get help for mental illnesses.

And then there is one particularly decisive factor: Firearms.

A recent analysis by Johns Hopkins University found that the rate of suicides involving firearms last year was the highest on record.

So yes you have bigger problems than the upcoming trail against former President.

It's either like or hate.
And then there are those, like me, who do neither.

You've NEVER seen a President hated so much by the press or the powers that be EVER. People are being told to hate him, and they're good little sheep.

Lincoln could have given Trump a run for his money when it comes to being hated.

What a tragedy took place there.

I have to show this video clip
It's about Royal Caribbean cruisers who are upset after Hawaii cancelation
(and some other news first)

A friend said I should take a look at the 14th Amendment section 3.

I have read it and I say it's up to the justice to decide whether he has:

"engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." or not.

^^ Ya, everyone thinks they’re a constitutional lawyer.

Anyway, in other news.

El Presidente Joe Biden is asked about the devastating Maui fires and to the amazement of others replies with ‘no comment.’ Then literally turns about and trots into his vehicle smiling. What a feeble old man

Thousands displaced.
2200 structures have been destroyed.
86% of these structures were residential.
96 confirmed dead, and this number is expected to rise.

…and Biden doesn’t even have a comment.

IMO this indicates he is totally unaware of current events because nobody bothers telling him anything. Or he is unable to formulate a simple answer without days of practice by his handlers.

The fourth indictment of Trump has been issued by Georgia with 41 counts.

Q So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former President will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not —

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yeah? (Laughs.)

Q — once again take power in the United States?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

The former president is accused of the following felony counts, including:

Violating Georgia's racketeering act
Solicitation of violation of oath by public officer
Conspiracy to impersonate a public officer
Conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree
False statements and writings and filing false documents
The indictment refers to the defendants as a "criminal organisation", accusing them of other crimes including influencing witnesses, computer trespass, theft and perjury.The most serious charge, violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico) Act, is punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison. The act - designed to help take down organised criminal syndicates like the mafia - helps prosecutors connect the dots between underlings who broke laws and those who gave them orders.

People have been saying that for years. But, even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes.

When ya think about it, all the drama, accusations, indictments and headlines simply boils down to one thing, a power struggle between elites, like they do in the banana republics. It’s great way for the club currently in power to ensure you can only vote for them.

Makes me wonder. Is it fully possible to gather a jury who is 110 % neutral ?

He shall not be found guilty by a bunch of anti-Trump.
