TrumpGate - begin the argument - even the guilty need a trial.

Hubris is not a crime but usually serves to end your abuses of others.  I am not going to burden myself with an elaborate accounting of President Trump's abuses since many others have done this.  I am simply going to keep a list and pointers to the "chain" as they occur to me or I am reminded of them them.  I begin with just a few (watch this space).

A beginning -

Crimes:

• Mueller report - substantial evidence of commissions of felonies.
• Violation of Constitutions Emoluments  clause.
• Violating budget amounts appropriated for Military Defense to building a wall Trump said Mexico would pay for?
• Illegal arms sale to Saudi Arabia and subsequent firing of Defense Dept. IG 5/15/20.

Abuses:

• Compiled lists of lies, misstatements, misrepresentations - > 18,000.
• He was impeached by the House but not removed from office by the Senate.
• Nepotism.
• Pandemic - so many ways!
• Separating families at the border and not know how to reconnect them; incompetence or intentional it remains inhuman?

Am I guilty of "Confirmatory Bias" the so called doubling down in the face of what many see as fact?

Remember the GOP Death Camp Idea - Vos and Fitzgerald (WI Legislature) Instrumental in RESURRECTION

Wikipedia -

Robin J. Vos (born July 5, 1968) is an American Republican politician and the 79th Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly. He has been a member of the Assembly since 2005, representing Racine County, and has been Speaker since 2013. 

Scott L. Fitzgerald (born November 16, 1963) is an American politician and one-time newspaper publisher. He is a Republican member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 13th District since 1994.  In the wake of the 2018 elections when Democratic candidates were elected to the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state in Wisconsin, Fitzgerald pushed for legislation to remove powers from the incoming Democratic administration.

These two are the GOP leaders of the legislature in Wisconsin.  They appealed directly to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to overturn Governor Evers "Safer at Home" policy.

Wisconsin chief justice sparks backlash by saying covid-19 outbreak is among meatpacking workers, not ‘the regular folks’ 

Washington Post - May 7th, 2020.  [.Chief Justice Patience Drake Roggensack ]

This is all supposedly going to lead to a policy better than "Safer At Home'.

I just find it so ironic, hypocritical and unethical on the part of the GOP who claimed ACA would result in "Death Camps" with bureaucrats deciding who would live or die.  Now at least we know in Wisconsin the decisions will be under the influence of a State Supreme Court Justice who favors "regular folk" over, who knows what kind of "other people."  That two politicians who represent their party, the GOP, but not much of Wisconsin, but hold their office elected by a tiny portion of the Wisconsin residents will have the ability to block reasonable policy formulated by "science" through a Governor elected by the majority of Wisconsin voters.

Former Impeached President Trump 's Epitath: 'It's not my job!' --- Pretender or Usurper

... and I couldn't do it anyhow!


Defense Production Act as from Wikipedia

The Act contains three major sections. The first authorizes the president to require businesses to accept and prioritize contracts for materials deemed necessary for national defense, regardless of a loss incurred on business (it is unclear what would occur if business refuses or is unable to complete request on time). It also allows the president to designate materials to be prohibited from hoarding or price gouging.^[2] The second section authorizes the president to establish mechanisms (such as regulations, orders or agencies) to allocate materials, services and facilities to promote national defense. The third section authorizes the president to control the civilian economy so that scarce and critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs.^[3][4][5]

The Act also authorizes the president to requisition property, force industry to expand production and the supply of basic resources, impose wage and price controls, settle labor disputes, control consumer and real estate credit, establish contractual priorities, and allocate raw materials towards national defense.^[3]

I used to tell my children that when you start to lie then I don't know when to believe you.  I start by believing you are lying.

Fortunately, in the Trump era, he can't control the world of information and interpretation by scientists.  So we have known since January he was lying or at best in denial.

The WHY? is important because he knew that Roy Cohn and now William Barr we are not going to be able to save him or his presidency.

As we speak he is more concerned about himself than he is about others.  His efforts are now directed at giving himself a "plausible deniability" excuse about waiting 60 days or more to allow the truth about COVID-19 to come out.

WHY?

Anchoring ... set the number and then claim you are genius at management because it is so much lower or not exceeded.

An Unfinished Lesson: What The 1918 Flu Tells Us About Human Nature

A virus is more than a biological organism. It's a social organism. It detects fissures in societies and fault lines between communities. Historian Nancy Bristow shares the lessons about human behavior that we can take away from a century-old pandemic.

It's easy to stare out your window at the nearly empty streets, at the people wearing masks and leaving a six-foot berth for passersby, and to believe that this is a moment unlike any other. To assume that the fear, the haphazard responses to the pandemic, the radical adjustments people are making to their lives—that these are all unprecedented. 

But like most extraordinary moments, this one has a long trail that leads to it. Just over a century ago, a new infectious disease overtook the globe. Its history has long been buried, subsumed beneath the story of World War I. Historian Nancy Bristow believes it's no mistake that Americans have focused on their victory in the war rather than on the devastation of the 1918 flu pandemic. ...
