TWIT: Blut und Land

A conspiracy is everything ordinary life is not...
Conspirators have a logic and daring beyond our reach.
All conspiracies are a taut story of men who find coherence 
in some criminal act.

More:  Conservatives on the Supreme Court refused to grand certiorari to the Special Prosecutor and immediately hear Herr Trumpilini's claim of absolute immunity. Instead they handed the defandant a Christmas gift by opting for an opinion from the Circuit Court of Appeals before deciding the issue--obviously a decision influenced by politics.  Compare United States vs. Nixon. The decision moves the game piece another square towards an election deadline.  ln the meantime, audio recordings of phone calls have surfaced in which the coup mastermind pressures two Repugnant functionaries in Wayne County, Michigan to refuse certifying the election results in that state.  His fingerprints are also over this tangled web of deceit.

Breaking:
The decision is sure to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, but by a 4 to 3 vote the Colorado Supreme Court has declared Trump to be disqualified from holding office of the President of the United States therefore he cannot appear on the primary ballot in that state under the state's election code. The order is is stayed until January 4th giving him time to appeal.

The Colorado Supreme Court specifically found that Trumpilini was an officer of the United States and engaged in insurrection within the meaning of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. That ruling reversed the state district judge who found that he was not an "officer of the United States" under Section 3. even though she found that the former president did engage in insurrection.

More: Herr Trumpilini continues to invoke Hitlerite themes in his campaign speeches. The latest is his use of the concept of dilution of the blood that leads to cultural collapse. This psuedo-scientific rubbish was used in part to justify Nazis' final solution to the Jewish question. Hitler wanted the Aryan race, also a misconception, to be kept pure. Trump is clearly a dangerous crackpot who has captured a good sized portion of the American electorate susceptible to the appeal of nativist, white nationalism. After he was struck from the ballot in Colorado, he issued a message to his supporters saying, "This is how dictatorships are born". This guy is not joking around. He means to seize power in a manner reminiscent of Hitler's party winning election to the Bundestag in1932. Hitler was appointed Chancellor in January, 1933. Once in office, Herr Trumpilini means to stay there by any means necessary including using the military to enforce martial law.

Dictatorships are born by a lack of resistence from democratic forces. Very late in the game, the federal judiciary may be waking up to Trumpilini's nefarious legal maneuverings, and bring him before a jury of his peers before the election, but democracy still faces the hurdle of a conservative Supreme Court willing to put party above nation.  The case of defendant Trump is testing to the limits 'Merica's commitment to democracy.  It raises the fundamental question: do the American people have a right under our Constitution to elect a Neo-fascist dictator?
