When the Republican goons in the Senate decided to give Trump a Get Out of Jail card by acquitting him instead of convicting him of the high crimes he was impeached for, they turned a sociopath loose.
Feeling exonerated (although he wasn't according to Mueller) Trump set out on a revenge tour throughout every government agency.
With seemingly no restraints on him, Trump has been tromping on laws like a wild jackass. He feels invincible because he's still continuing to drag justice down into the swamp with him despite efforts to hold him to account.
It seems like no one can stop the orange maroon's depredations against our democracy. His latest insult to the rule of law was commuting the sentence of his long time buddy Roger Stone.
Stone was righteously convicted of seven felonies, but it didn't matter. The fact that Stone didn't "flip" on Trump like Michael Cohen did, was vital.
From the moment Stone was arrested until last week, he knew all along he'd never do time. Trump told him as much in coded messages.
Some sources claim even AG Barr tried to talk him out of freeing Stone. I'm not sure I believe that after considering what Barr's done for Trump since he slunk into the AG position.
House democrats don't have the political will to try and impeach Trump again. Especially in the middle of a pandemic.
The result; our unhinged president continues to degrade justice even as he seeks re-election under the motto The Law and Order President.
On the Homefront - Medford, Oregon
Gov. Kate Brown announced a ban on indoor social gatherings of more than 10 people and an outdoor mask mandate.
Shit's getting serious once again in Oregon. However, it looks worse now than ever before. Coronavirus cases are climbing daily with dire predictions about how many daily cases there will be by the end of this month.
ENDLESS PROTESTS
I can't believe demonstrators are still taking to the streets after 47 straight days. That's crazy. They're protesting a lot more than George Floyd's death and systemic racism.
Apparently there's an ever growing menu of complaints to pick from daily. I don't see endless protests going on in any other city in America.
What is it about Portland? More malcontents? Anarchists? Is this all just street theatre, and the joke is on society?
