Friday Updates about Politics.

 

Jack Smith wants the Supreme Court to make a decision on Trump's immunity claim immediately. The Supreme Court will decide when it will decide on the matter. Jack Smith is the Special Counsel prosecutor who wants Donald Trump to be held accountable for conspiring with other people in trying to overthrow the 2020 election. Trump is concerned and seeks to justify his evil. Trump is overt about what he wants. He wants to punish the media who dissent from him, he wants mass deportation, he wants a massive travel ban, and he desires to be a dictator on Day One. One poll says that 42 percent of Iowan Republicans are more likely to support Trump after Trump made the comments that immigrants poison the blood of America. It shows me that those Republicans who agree with him are totally wrong. Stephen Miller wants millions of immigrants to be deported when that hypocrite Miller's family immigrated from Belarus.

The situation of Trump is much bigger than Trump. The reality is that Trump and his allies believe in the lie that all humans don't have equal value in the Universe. This lie existed since America's founding back in 1776. Back in the 1700's, my ancestors were in bondage by those racists who believed in the myth that certain people are inferior to other people. In our time, we must condemn Trump's reactionary views on immigrants, black people, women, and other groups of people. Yet, we also have to do more to promote the principle that every human born on this Earth has equal worth and equal value being entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The GOP-led House has been a disgrace to only pass 27 bills that became law in 2023. This is why people have a low view of the Congress. The Republican Party is no longer the Party of Lincoln or the Party of Liberal Republicans. It is a MAGA Party. The anti-democratic worldview of the leadership of the Republican Party is part of an agenda of a lust for power and authoritarianism instead of justice.

There are at least 14 people killed in the Prague University shooting. The university is Charles University in central Prague according to the Czech police. The shooter was stopped according to the police. The country's police chief said that officials received tips about the suspect before the shooting. Authorities helped students to evacuate after they locked themselves in the classroom during the shooting. Some classmates hid on the ledge of a university building to escape the attack. The gunmen killed at least 14 people along with wounding other people. Students ran away quickly in trying to get away from the gunfire. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala showed his condolences to the loved ones of the victims and said that there is no justification for the senseless attack. Other European leaders have condemned the violence and shown shock at the attack.

Days ago was the 25th anniversary of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton on Saturday, December 19, 1998. This was when I was in the 10th grade of high school. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton was wrong to cheat on his wife and having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. People debated whether this affair rose to the level of impeachment. Many far-right people funded the movement to get Bill Clinton out of office for political reasons. They truly didn't care about his adultery, because many GOP members were found to have done adultery. Many of them falsely viewed Bill Clinton as a far-right President when you do the research, Bill Clinton was a center-left President. The Senate failed to place Clinton out of office. Bill Clinton survived to be President until January 20, 2001. After 25 years, we see more political issues, the crisis of Western capitalism grows, and you have a political Republican candidate overtly seeking a dictatorship, invoking language from Hitler, and trying to overthrow the election of Joe Biden using corrupt means. Therefore, we have to oppose authoritarianism and seek justice in the Universe.

The GOP candidates defending Trump after the Colorado state Supreme Court decision is not shocking. Many of them care more for near worship of Trump than loving democracy. The Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. has many important decisions to make on many political questions, especially on the disputes over Trump's legal case and Presidential run. The December 2000 decision about the 2000 election has shown that the Supreme Court has dealt with election issues. That decision in 2000 gave George W. Bush the Presidency, not to Al Gore. The Supreme Court will determine if the Colorado Supreme Court ruling stands and if he is immune from prosecution from special counsel Jack Smith (Trump is accused by Smith of using his efforts to overturn the 2020 election leading up to the January 6, 2021, terrorist, insurrectionist U.S. Capitol attack). The Supreme Court's popularity is at historic lows filled with scandals, polarization, and other points of contention. People debate about gag orders and other political matters. The truth is that Trump worked with his agents to try to illegally overthrow the 2020 election. He failed, but he wants to be a dictator, and his views must be opposed and exposed 100 percent.
