Trump's scandal continues and more facts

You feel like that Presidency is a movie, but this is real. Michael Cohen admitted under oath that the President is a co-conspirator in a crime. David Pecker of the National Enquirer had indeed cooperated with federal prosecutors and has been granted immunity. We know now that the National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents dealing with money payments and other damaging stories about Trump. It is no secret that the National Enquirer has promoted stories in favor of Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential campaign. David Pecker is telling federal prosecutors everything he knows about Donald Trump. It could related to recordings, copy documents, etc. It seems like the National Enquirer has flipped. Donald Trump is notorious for being aligned with notorious criminals and one author has accused Donald Trump of being tied to the Russian Mafia. Now, the NY prosecutors might indict the Trump Organization including 2 senior executives. Trump cabinet members want to eliminate environmental protections, desire to arm teachers in schools (which is ludicrous), and wants total destruction of much of the social safety net. The Trump regime is filled with criminality.

Cohen has implicated Trump in criminal actions in violation of federal election laws. Paul Manafort is certainly convicted of many crimes. Manafort will have another trial in Washington, D.C. in September too. Trump has praised a criminal like Manafort. The reality of the impeachment of Trump has massively increased since recently in late August of 2018. Trump has tried his best to try to stop the investigation of his administration and has used habitual lying ignoring the fact that the government belongs solely to the people not to one member of the executive branch. Trump has made a mockery of the rule of law and hopefully he will be held accountable for his actions by being removed from office via impeachment and Congress voting to remove him from office.


It is always important to show our Blackness. That means never to compromise our integrity to suit tokenism or the whims of the status quo. It means to recognize that our identity as black people are diverse and an honest expression of our we feel and think encompasses our human expression. That is why we have to always condemn racism since racism denies the personhood of a person based on skin color or physical characteristics that are inborn. Also, it is important to reject colorism as all people regardless of his or her skin complexion have equal worth and equal value. Blackness is about unapologetic creativity, it is about love for our family, and friends, and it is about showing the truth whether the overall public likes it or not. For example, Dr. King opposed the Vietnam War back in the 1960's when the majority of the establishment opposed him. Malcolm X talked about pan-Africanism when tons of people falsely assumed that he promoted unilateral violence. Ella Baker promoted an end to Jim Crow apartheid long before the 1960's. So, telling the truth and loving Blackness are great priorities to pursue. Freedom and justice are just goals. We have the right to show our voices and live our lives without any form of discrimination plus excluding racism.



Also, the truth is that dealing with important issues and consciousness are very important. Some folks have a disturbing pastime to victim blame the poor and victim shame people in general. These are the people who believe in the Horatio Alger's myth and some believe in the notorious falsehood that the world society is a complete meritocracy. Those folks omit that an economic system for over five centuries that grew on the genocide of Native Americans, the enslavement of black Africans, the exploitation of the poor, the harm done to the serfs, and the conquering of lands via colonialism including imperialism have no moral basis to lecture anyone on morality or integrity. Some of the people who act the most in illogical actions, oppression, and lax accountability include some of the super wealthy. Many of the gains that we have created in society from economic rights to civil rights were not created by free market capitalists or centrists. They were created by revolutionaries, labor activists, progressive leaders, civil rights activists, and yes in many cases socialists. Malcolm X wasn't a socialist, but had an interview with socialists in opposing the Vietnam War and criticizing capitalism in 1965. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. praised democratic socialism by his own words. Therefore, we have to be comprehensive in outlook and never omit our responsibility to not only call for accountability (as the pursue of profit is never more important than the pursuit for human liberation and justice).

We must call for universal health care, universal housing, universal education, living wages, an end to corporate corruption, and an eradication of police brutality (not to mention that peacefully kneeing in protesting injustice is never offensive). America is one of the few industrialized nations on Earth which lacks true universal health care and that is wrong. Not to mention that we should never quit. Quit isn't in our vocabulary. Many people, who exist in massively worse conditions than us, have achieved massive excellence involved science, the arts, and other confines of human expression or human intellectual development. You shouldn't be judged on your zipcode or your wealth. You should only be judged on the content of your character. Your own human dignity is priceless and worthy of respect. We live in a new generation and during this time, we honor the ancestors and the old foundations that our ancestors developed from the ground up. Also, we are inspired to build up a new legacy for future generations to grow upon as well.
