And several summers before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To paraphrase Ice Cube, it ain’t over, mothafucka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From early in his administration, there were notable media outlets accusing President Trump of treason<\/em><\/strong> for whatever he’d done in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pandemic and the simultaneous things happening with the Summer of 2020 led to the “mostly peaceful protest” on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That same protest where many MAGA stooges ended up with Federal convictions for parading around the Capitol in search of votes that just weren’t there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The overreach in penalizing people for that day is remarkable for so many reasons. I think about Brandon Staka<\/a> who didn’t do anything more serious than being unruly. He pleaded guilty to a charge saying basically that, but he spent how long in the awful DC City Jail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then they sprung things back into action in advance of last year’s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am happy that President Trump pardoned him, and others like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am not happy that a litany of people who appeared on cable news from late 2016 until the Pandemic get by without the scorn they so deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my experience, it’s not hard to get a dedicated CNN or MSNBC viewer to nod in violent agreement if you casually mention the things that Michael Cohen did in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
