11/4/17: President Trump is mulling over a plan to goose the jobs numbers (see: 11/3/17) by adding federal hangmen and hangwomen to the Department of Justice payroll. A torture chamber in the White House basement might be cool. Son Eric could become High Keeper of the Thumb Screws.
Trump calls for first execution of U.S. soldier since 1945.
Trump makes it clear again. He is a HUGE fan of executions, and swift justice, even if people he wants swiftly executed turn out not-so-swiftly, to be innocent fourteen years later.
(See:
Central Park Five.)
What the president really wants is to run the judicial branch himself – screw James Comey – screw Jeff Sessions – without getting tripped up by pesky articles and clauses in the U.S. Constitution.
Donald J. Trump would love it if the Department of Justice and F.B.I. stopped investigating crooks associated with him and stopped asking staffers, aides and family members about obstruction of justice (see, for example: recent F.B.I. demands for documents from Jared Kushner). He would like it if they got busy investigating Hillary Clinton and just locked her up and announced they were finished.
As the president admitted in a recent interview, he’s very frustrated by his inability to control the F.B.I. and the DOJ.
Who came up with this goddam three-branch system of
government anyway!!!!
Last, but not least, Trump weighs in when a military court rules that Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who deserted in Afghanistan in 2009, and ended up a Taliban captive for five years, should not serve additional prison time. Trump had called for Bergdahl to be executed – which would have made him the first soldier executed since Pvt. Eddie Slovak in January 1945.
Trump calls the U.S. Army judge’s decision “a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military.”
Stop a moment and parse that nugget of presidential
cogitation. According to Trump the U.S. military was disgracing…the U.S.
military.
