We are watching

Our side is corrupt, but the other side is more corrupt.

Trump tweet:

“I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business.”

NYT report ((10/8/2020):

Compounding the political risk (of that tweet), Mr. Trump said the halt in stimulus negotiations would give Republicans time to focus on quickly confirming his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a move that polls have shown is unpopular with voters. By contrast, Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of another stimulus bill.

Note to Amy Coney Barrett:

Being of such high intelligence and moral standing, I am sure you see that the narcissist president is using you as a tool to defend him against being convicted of crimes. We all know the president cares only about himself. He wants you on the court to rule in his favor so he won’t go to jail or have to pay fines and back taxes.

You will be asked about this in your confirmation hearing. I assume you will inform the American people that you will recuse yourself from cases involving Trump’s election. Your intelligence and morality will be in full view because Americans know what it means to have a narcissistic president. We assume you do, too–being of such high intelligence and moral standing.

Or maybe you are not intelligent and morally upstanding. Maybe you, too, care about your personal causes more than you care about the American people. Just maybe–we will see.

Update

Mario Nicolais, a USA Opinion contributor, argued the same thing on 10/12/20202. He did not include the “we are watching” idea. But, of course, we are watching.
