Due Process: Doing It Right

 DONALD TRUMP should have been impeached and removed within moments of being sworn into office, for accepting with open arms assistance getting elected from Russia. during the insurrection as the Capitol, republicans refused to wear masks while huddled closely together in safe rooms, and afterwards refused to pass through metal detector machines. meanwhile, hundreds of rioters posted pictures of themselves on social media, rioting. All of this suggests that Trump and his supporters are not the brightest bulbs in the holiday display, so to speak. But ten of them had the good sense of duty to vote to impeach Trump, redux, so, maybe there is hope for conservatives after all. Our recent insurrection and re-impeachment melodrama derives directly from repeated claims made by Trump and millions of others that the election was stolen from him. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, correctly stated the late great Carl Sagan. When you accuse somebody, or many somebodies, of wrongdoing, you must have the proof in advance. You must show the proof immediately, or, lacking proof, show strong evidence, or, lacking that, show at least some small shred of evidence. The evidence you already have is what allows and motivates you to make the accusation. One does not make an accusation, then go looking for evidence of it. It is now two and a half months after the election. Not a single shred of evidence that the election was stolen from Trump has been presented by him or any of the millions of people who share his accusation. There is not even a remote justification for the accusation of massive election fraud. Tens of millions of accusers, not a shred of evidence. At what point do they become liars, frauds? How long do they have before time expires for them to provide evidence? Arguably, they  and Trump are already liars and frauds, perpetrators of a hoax. The evidence or proof should have been presented the same day the accusation was made.This is merely another example of Trump supporters openly displaying their indecency and dishonesty.They revealed their immorality dearly, by electing and supporting the most corrupt criminal president in American history. Trump's millions of supporters, many evangelical Christians, many making this ridiculous accusation of election stealing,have revealed themselves to be nothing but immoral, indecent, dishonest hoaxers.We continue to await any evidence at all of widespread election fraud,of the election having been stolen from trump.We will never get it, for they are the true criminals, trying to steal the election from Biden. Unless and until, of course, they provide proof, or even a shred of evidence to support their ridiculous accusations.
