"Tricky Dick"...."Tricky Don". Those of us old enough remember Tricky Dick Nixon. He was an

amateur compared compared to "Tricky Don" but it doesn't hurt to connect these two lunatics.

My father was a lawyer, my grandfather was a judge. One thing I heard over and over again as

a kid from both of them was "everyone is entitled to competent counsel, everyone deserves their day in court." My father represented large corporations but he also represented the elevator operator in his building (they had them in those days) who was falsely accused of rape. I remember that we celebrated the day he came home after winning that case.

This was the America I grew up in. Having those beliefs wasn't "radical left" or radical anything, it was American.

BTW, the only Democrat I think my father ever voted for was JFK.

Things with the Trump Regime seem to be moving a little faster. Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering

if they are getting worried about the increase in demonstrations and some of these court decisions. Maybe they're looking to lock the country down?
