Memo to God: Three Things I Want, Just for Me

Just recently, a friend asked me an interesting question, and it really got me thinking. He asked me about the things I most wanted to be able to do with my time left here. For some background, we had already talked about what we were hoping for as a result…

Trump: Good Golly Miss Molly!

Molly Michael, ‘Trump Employee №2’ in the Mar-a-Lago case, recalls Trump’s attempted use of The Force — In only my second article on Medium, way back in October 2020, I published a tongue-in-cheek piece suggesting that Donald Trump was the real Last Jedi. I was poking fun at his hand gestures and how he somehow got people to believe total B.S., …

Ready for the Good News?

Trump will not run for a third term as president if he wins in 2024! He said so, himself. — I know what you’re thinking: a constitutional scholar of Trump’s standing (😂) certainly knows all about the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that anyone having served two terms as president is … what’s the word? Oh, yeah — done. And such a constitutional scholar as Trump certainly referred…

September, Budget Talks, and Unaware Senators

On the doorstep of fall, GOP leaves seem to be falling and piling up — I was just updating my calendar for the month of September and catching up on some reading about the ever-fascinating foibles and fumbles of some members of the House and Senate. First, and I know that certain segments of our 2023 America will consider it evil and “woke” (and will…

Executing on the 14th Amendment’s Disqualification Provision

So it begins, and not a moment too soon — There’s been lots of buzz lately about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and its potentially disqualifying effect on folks like Donald Trump and certain others. I’ve written about it several times myself here on Medium, and you’ve perhaps seen reference to the lengthy analysis by professors Baude and Paulsen…

Donald ‘Da Boss’ Trump Bumps Into RICO in Georgia: 161 Acts

No, not Rico Suave; and no, not the biblical Acts (only has 28 chapters) — But one might say that Trump’s meeting with RICO, Count 1 of a brand-new indictment courtesy of a grand jury and Fulton County DA Fani Willis, is almost biblical in scope. Let’s see. There are the 161 separate acts which were in furtherance of the RICO count and/or the conspiracy. …

Enabled, Emboldened, Entitled

Especially for former presidents under indictment and a protective order, this is dangerous and destructive — This will be short. Purposeful testing of boundaries, guardrails, and the resolve or mettle of authorities. That’s what Donald Trump is all about. Sadly, many of his supporters take their cues from him, so it’s a metastasis in action kind of thing. Trump hasn’t been slapped down well enough so…

Does Trump Actually Want to Be Arrested and Jailed?

It certainly seems like it. Why would that be? — It’s Sunday, and this will be a short article. I’m focusing on the latest doubling down by Donald Trump — at a time when such action could result in serious action by the U.S. District Court in D.C. Last Thursday, Trump was arrested, released (on conditions) and arraigned for a…

Trumper: ‘Now We Have a Problem’

So said a Trump aide at Bedminster in July 2021. Man, was she right! — Several media outlets now have a hugely (bigly?) important audio-recording that is a tiny piece of the evidence in the charges against Donald Trump in the Florida matter — what is called in shorthand the “classified documents case.” I’m linking to a CNN article which contains the audio — and…

Special Counsel Jack Smith Likely Not Done With Indictments

There’s still the matter of Trump’s attempt to retain power despite his 2020 election loss — In a prior article published on April 18th I suggested that Special Counsel Jack Smith would equivocally recommend (to Merrick Garland) that Trump not be indicted regarding Jan 6th. I’ve had to rethink that particular idea. In that same article in mid-April, I predicted that federal charges against Trump would…
