A Shameful Joke

I see reports that the United States Senate subpoenaed Donald Trump, Jr. to testify as it seeks truth regarding Russia's meddling in our 2016 elections and just what Trump, Jr. knows. I suppose you can say it's all part of America's search for justice under our Constitution. Update reporting indicates that Trump Jr. is not going to 'blow off' the subpoena as encouraged to do so by GOP Senator Lindsay Graham. Graham once pontificated how a person must honor such subpoenas. He now has a change of heart regarding the three branches of government and its role as a 'checks and balance.'

We understand that Trump Jr. has established parameters regarding his forthcoming testimony. He (Trump) will set the agenda. What subjects he would be required to answer, how long the testimony and if he already answered any question previously (not under oath) he would still be allowed to state that his previous answer suffices and should be accepted.

Now, I'm going to stop here because there is no need to beat this horse. Let me simply say this: The next time President Trump and misguided flag wavers get in a dither about some Black NFL player kneeling for the National Anthem or not accepting an invitation to visit the White House, don't act like a damn fool criticizing the man. You all know very well that the young Black boy doing jail time for robbery, drug selling or resisting arrest did not get to establish the guidelines and parameters around his jury trial. Even those youngsters who are found innocent do not get to write the rules for the courts or Congress hearings. If you or your son was in those shoes observing our judicial system yield to the wealthy and powerful, you'd take a knee also. And don't crap me or yourself on this one!

Please spare me the military viewpoint on this subject. Our great soldier warriors did not sacrifice for the rich and privileged ONLY!
