Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Lara Trump Still Thinks Hillary Clinton's Emails Are The Real Problem

Lara Trump returned to one of Republicans’ greatest hits while defending father-in-law Donald Trump following his indictment in Georgia on Monday night.

Desperately attempting to turn the tables on Democrats, the wife of Eric Trump cried about Hillary Clinton’s years-old email scandal during an appearance Tuesday on Newsmax.

“To see, of all people, Hillary Clinton out there having anything to say about anything when she BleachBitted and destroyed 33,000 emails after she was told not to ― cellphones with a hammer,” she said, referring to accusations about Clinton’s use of a private email server that clouded her 2016 campaign against Trump.

“We know what happened with Hillary Clinton, and yet she got absolutely no heat from anybody at the Department of Justice.”

An FBI investigation of her use of a private email system as secretary of state criticized her and her staff for being “careless” with information but concluded in May 2016 that no charges would be “appropriate.”

“What they accused our campaign and my father-in-law of doing in 2016, conspiring somehow with Russia to win an election, Hillary Clinton herself and the [Democratic National Committee] actually did these things,” the pundit continued, alluding to Russia’s alleged efforts to help Donald Trump get elected to his first term.

Accusing Democrats of political interference, Lara Trump said prosecutors were “throwing everything at the wall to see anything that might stick” to her father-in-law, who is currently the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential ticket.

“That is their angle. And they will try everything as evidenced now by this fourth ridiculous indictment.”

“But to see Hillary Clinton out there talking about it, laughing about it, cackling about it, to know that the Biden family is basically getting away with selling out the United States of America, as far as all of us have seen with our own eyes, it is insane to see,” she said, referring to Clinton’s shrewd reaction to Trump’s latest charges.

“I don’t know that anybody should be satisfied,” Clinton told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday when asked about the latest indictment, in Fulton County, Georgia, and others. “I just feel great profound sadness that we have a former president who has been indicted for so many charges.”

With Monday’s indictment, Trump is now facing 91 felony charges across cases in New York, Florida, Washington, D.C., and Georgia.
