Good Decision

11/23/2016

It is still way too soon to determine what the Trump presidency will be like. Fortunately, President-elect Trump isn’t as big a jerk as candidate Trump. One of the positive signs was the announcement that he would not be pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton.

This is good news for several reasons. It is vital that prosecution starts from the bottom up not the top down. No matter which party controls the White House, criminal justice should be conducted on a nonpartisan basis. Unfortunately, the Obama Department of Justice was the most political since Nixon. However, a president ordering a prosecution of a political opponent is something that happens under dictatorships, not here.

The country is already deeply divided. Prosecuting her would be like pouring salt on an open wound. We need to find ways to come together, not be torn further apart.

Finally, there is no real point. I agree her behavior was egregious but there is no purpose served by going after a thoroughly disgraced elderly lady who will never hold a position in the government.
​

This may disappoint some rabid Trump fans. Some of them talk a lot about the limits placed on government by the Constitution but want to ignore it if their side is in power.

    Hi! My name is Dave. I'm in my 60s and live in Indiana. I'll write about whatever is on my mind but most posts will be political. I'm a centrist who thinks both sides are on the wrong path.

At long last this idiotic shutdown is over. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and it doesn’t start up again.

The real story is that 800,000 government workers are back on the job and many millions of people are no longer inconvenienced.

Unfortunately, that is not the story we are hearing in the media. Their story is about how Speaker Pelosi beat President Trump. He got himself into this mess. She decided that all that mattered was winning. The harm done to the people involved was of no concern whatsoever. A good leader puts the good of the people over political gamesmanship,

it would be nice to think that both people have learned their lesson and will try to do what is best for the
country. I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
