The Gantt Report
By Lucius Gantt
The Gantt Report published a column years ago that suggested that former President Donald Trump should experience time in Cell Block “T”.
Trump recently got convicted on 34 felony charges in a New York City courthouse.
Well, jail time for the Babayka is a consideration but I don’t think it will happen anytime soon.
Felons that have money never do the time that poorer people do. Personally, I think “The Lying King” should see how it feels to spend time behind bars. The experience changes some inmates.
I imagine Trump will get probation but perhaps the judge in his case can sentence him to spend weekends in the Big House.
Anyway, everybody has an explanation for why Trump was convicted on 34 counts of law violations.
My concern today is the remarks by the modern-day Amos and Andy, the two Black Republicans, a Senator and a Congressman, who have been parroting and rubber-stamping Trump’s talking points.
It’s a weaponization of the justice department, it’s a witch hunt, it’s a hoax, the judge was biased, the media was biased, its election interference, it’s corrupt Joe Biden’s involvement, the District Attorney is a racist, Cohen is a liar, I never met Stormy Daniels, and so forth.
Rep. Byron Donalds, who has had his run-ins with the law, and Sen. Tim Scott, who is trying his best to be a Trump VP, are political traitors to their race!
They know Donald Trump called for the Central Park Five, five Black men who were falsely accused of rape and murder, to get the death penalty in a full-page ad purchased and printed in a New York newspaper, but they didn’t say their wrongful convictions were the result of weaponized justice, a witchhunt or a wrongful verdict.
The two Black men, along with a horde of other Republicans, were quick to say whatever they could to support whatever Donald Trump wanted them to support.
You see, it’s all about the lies! Trump lies about everything!
If you don’t know, Trump’s, bankruptcies, tax cases, sexual assault cases, election interference allegations, and other cases all centered around misinformation, misinterpretation, falsehoods and falsely blaming his friends, employees, lawyers, and political associates.
A fraud is a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming, or being credited with; accomplishments or qualities.
In other words, frauds are lies.
Trump has a history of never admitting his losses, his crimes, or his wrongdoings.
His loving supporters can’t jump off the Trump crime train. Scott, Donalds, and others adhere to gang rules, it’s easy to get with Trump by repeating his lies but it’s harder to get away from the political Bogeyman.
Don’t worry about how being a convicted felon will affect Trump and his campaign, worry about how every Trump mini-me must be voted out of office in November 2024 too.
Joe Biden has no control over state laws and state criminal charges in New York, Georgia, or any other state.
Biden’s problem is his campaign staff that has no experts that can generate the substantial voter turnout he needs.
Trump is a felon but people like the Postmaster he hired are still in office and the postmaster has decimated the postal service to suppress absentee and mail-in voting in Black and Hispanic communities.
If Trump wins the 2024 election some observers believe he’ll try to stay in office forever by hook or crook.
There are also Democrats currently facing criminal charges in court and you have Supreme Court justices like Uncle Clarence Thomas who may give Trump the kind of immunity he wants to avoid prison time.
However, history will show that some Blacks, Hispanics, and other people of color in the American judicial system, Like Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Letitia James stood up, spoke out, and did their jobs in Trump court cases.
So, give the NYC jurors credit for doing their jobs, but the fight for justice continues in America, in Africa, and around the globe.
Right now, I’m going to look at Trump and laugh. I’ll chuckle too.
