WE ARE ALL WITNESSES
If truth and justice were really material , Donald John Trump could never, ever have been elected President of the United States of America, in November and December 2016, with the Electoral College’s rubber stamp!
Donald Trump’s election proves that truth, justice do not matter materially in American society. For both only matter, at best, superficially, facially, opaquely, in American history, philosophy, politics, law, business, religion.
New proof of this proposition has been shown in the impeachment “Trial” of Trump where no witness was called to testify in the Senate.
Instead House and Senate counsel, Democrats and Republicans, alike, argued arcane legal points back and forth for days before a “judge,” who was expected to “preside” but who was far more content to abide.
American Revolutionary ideals that were clandestinely, casuistically, inculcated in our Constitution hang in abeyance, pend precipitously, in the deciding vote in the Senate on whether the standing record “as is” can convict or can acquit President Donald John Trump of two alleged “high crimes and misdemeanors “ as they were claimed to be in the House’s Constitutional Presidential indictment, the only legal means of removing him short of new election.
Either way we too are jurors. Either way it may go we are all witnesses!
