Do We Need to Obey the Law?

I know that everyone who reads my columns are probably bored with my continued discussion about the stupidity of the Trump gang, or banda, if we want to be linguistically correct, but I simply cannot fathom how a bunch of at least somewhat educated adults could be so friggin’ dumb.

And I’m referring here to the bunch indicted in Georgia and Wisconsin for putting together those phony Electoral College ballots and assuming that they would never get caught. And if they really believed that what they were doing didn’t break any laws, then they are even dumber than I’m giving them credit for how dumb they are.

It’s one thing to commit a crime of violence, like a murder or an aggravated assault. Those crimes almost always arise out of some argument which neither combatant know how to resolve except through a spontaneous and unplanned eruption of brute force.

But white-collar crimes, particularly the kinds of crimes for all these schmucks are now facing multiple felony charges, usually require some planning, some thinking about the crime before the criminal event actually occurs, and most of all, some degree of concern about how to commit the crime without getting caught.

If any of those conditions were present in the minds of those putzes in Georgia and Michigan who are now waiting for their trials to begin, you sure wouldn’t…
