Needless to say, Mr. Trump needs to incite violence to make sure he stays in power, it just is not working. In the days of the Roman Empire, the Roman Legions were the ones to declare the emperor, and, of course that necessitated some bloodshed. But our country is not based on the rule of the army. It is based on our representative government, voted in by us – one person, one vote – and the military agrees with this form of government, and each member of the armed services and local law enforcement swears an oath to uphold that standard.
We live with a generally accepted code of conduct, an unwritten social contract. We drive on the right hand side of the road, we call the police for help in case of home invasion, we watch our neighbors homes to keep them safe, etc. Mr. Trump wants to dismantle some of that so he can be president again. He wants to have people shoot District Attorneys that are trying to take him to court. He tried to get the National Guard to confiscate ballot boxes so the votes could not be counted. He wants to shut down committees that are investigating him for wrong doing. This is not going to happen, though someone may shoot Rep. Pelosi, or Sen. Schumer, or a judge that is working on a case that Mr. Trump is a defendant in. As a people, we accept disagreement, but we do not accept violent actions based on disagreement. “You can disagree with me all you want, just do not make me agree with you if I do not want to.”
As an icon, Mr. Trump is pretty immune to prosecution, it would incite riots and what not. It is part of the social contract that courts of law are above violence, and serve to enforce the laws based on the facts of each case regardless of who is charged. Can they do this if the involved parties, juries, judges, prosecutors, etc., are being hounded, harassed, or shot?
This is much ado about nothing, after all what can happen if Mr. Trump refuses to back down, and does not accept the rule of law, the laws of the land being applied to him?
Joe was born in xxxx, Arizona on xxxx xx 1955 to David Joseph and Alta Mary Brockert. He joined xxxxxx. His early life was spent in various houses in Globe, Miami, Claypool and Superior, Arizona. He remembered starting school in second grade in Superior and went there until he finished seventh grade.
They made a move to the Midwest that summer. His parents tried to get work in Minnesota that summer, to no avail, came to Wisconsin and finally found something. Joe went to eight grade in Evansville, Wisconsin. He went to Holy Name Seminary in Madison, Wisconsin for his Junior year of high school. Joe did not make the grade (literally & figuratively) at the seminary, so he went back to graduate from Evansville. He started college at Edgewood in Madison, but without a focus , he did not get very far towards a degree. He did get an Associate of Arts degree from Madison Area Technical College in 1978 for Accounting just to prove he could get a degree of some sort. He never did use it to any extent.
Joe worked as a paperboy in Superior and, some, in Evansville. He did some work study jobs in college, but really started to work at the donut shop on Regent Street, Donuts Unlimited. He worked there, off and on, for many years. He spent a summer at Edgewood Summer Theatre near Baraboo, tried to find a job doing bookkeeping after graduation but fell back to working seasonal at Blaney Farms (seed corn). He worked at the donut shop until 1993. He left to work at Triggs Bakery, Quarra Stone and Colonial Bakery. He has worked at Colonial Bakery since 1994.
Joe met the love of his life in a coffee shop near MATC, where they attended classes and they never really left the coffee shop. Joe was married on 17 May 1980 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Joe lived a contented, relaxed life. He did not do much but learn, work, raise a daughter and support his family. He did not attract a lot of attention. He did learn to live for the day. He felt that the key to happiness was to remember to stop and smell the roses, or to look at the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, Mary, or to just go for a walks with her. He was humble enough to know that his writing would be of interest to very few, mostly those related to him, obviously, so he never tried too hard to get his rambling thoughts recorded.
