Gypsy! I stand corrected... But that explains why I liked her.

Back during the boat people from Vietnam era in the 1970s, we did have a Vietnamese family that moved in our neighborhood after fleeing the Communist in Vietnam and they had 4 kids of which one was a daughter that was my age.

They absolutely loved America and were patriotic as hell. I used to think it was strange to see an American flag flying high, especially on Fourth of July, outside their home considering they were from Vietnam but as I got older and really understood what communism was, I gained an understanding why they felt the way they did.

And I remember the whole family just adored Ronald Reagan.

None understand liberty like those who know what it is to be without it.

   My Trumper sister should know better than invite me over for a Religious Dinner and all.  But she did and I went.  We survived debating why it's called Good Friday so I pressed my luck and ventured into Trumpism.  I abruptly stood up from the conversation table after she asked the question "What has Ted Cruz done lately, except get FAT"?  Though I had to somewhat agree with her (silently), I left anyway knowing that this Trumper had exhausted all logical data points.

Wow... so you don't get along with your sister about politics and she just likes a different Republican than you? Yikes, you wouldn't like my family functions (on my side, my wife's family is basically apolitical, which is fine with me).

   My most successful Relationships in my Life have been apolitical; I thrive on them.  Unfortunately, my Family I can't choose, and they are just as stubborn as me BUT I Love them.

LOL!

Last Easter, I was having dinner at my brother's house...just him, his wife and myself.  They hate President Trump...the man.

Because it had really been bugging me seeing all the memes on the internet regarding the sexuality of Michelle Obama...from unabashed sources and old photos...the fact there are none of her while pregnant, etc..,

I blurted out..."Is Michelle Obama really a dude?  A transsexual??

Dead silence ...so I blurted out "What?"

He looks and says, "I have no idea why you would even ask that question".

Once and for all.... IS 'SHE' a "HE"?

Is that what all this transsexual crap is for?...to get the country ready for Michelle in 2024?  LOL!

The Incoherent Trump Indictment
It appears that Alvin Bragg has arrested Trump without telling him exactly what crimes he has allegedly committed and how he committed them.

In pre-Marxist America, the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution used to guarantee criminal defendants the right to “be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation” against them. This antiquated provision was interpreted to mean that an indictment  had to apprise the accused of the crime charged with such reasonable certainty that the defendant could prepare and present a defense. It was held that no indictment was sufficient if it did not set forth all of the elements that constituted the alleged crime. And, where an indictment described the crime by merely reciting the words of the criminal statute allegedly violated, it nevertheless had to allege facts necessary to bring the case within the statutory definition of the crime.

But now, in the brave new world of woke law enforcement, such bourgeois constitutional niceties appear to have been rendered inoperative. Just ask Manhattan District Attorney  Alvin Bragg, who has produced a legally incoherent grand jury indictment of former President Donald Trump.

To be sure the Sixth Amendment is still on the books as is Article 200.50 of the New York Criminal Procedure Law which provides, in relevant part, that an indictment “must contain” a “plain and concise factual statement in each count which … asserts facts supporting every element of the offense charged and the defendant’s … commission thereof with sufficient precision to clearly apprise the defendant … of the conduct which is the subject of the accusation…”

But, judging from the incomplete, impenetrable, and mystifying contents of the Trump indictment, it appears that Bragg has arrested Trump without telling him exactly what crimes he has allegedly committed and how he committed them. Or, to paraphrase the Red Queen in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Bragg’s ground-breaking prosecutorial strategy appears to be “trial first, charges afterward.” ...

George Parry is a former federal and state prosecutor.

The solution is for Trump to either (a) move to have the indictment dismissed for insufficiency, or (b) request a bill of particulars to fill in the factual allegations that support the offenses alleged in the indictment.

Until (b) happens, and is denied, and then (a) is denied, and the case proceeds to trial and conviction, there has been no denial of Sixth Amendment rights.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
