№ 472: A Rich Man Reflects On Mor(t)ality

If you wish to murder an enemy,
you had damn well better be rich.
Otherwise, you could face untoward consequences
after killing the son of a bitch.

It is not just that we rich folk
ignore the wrong arm of the law.
It's more the law is an in-joke
to ensure the poor respect force majeure.

The Gospel of Matthew* is said to imply
in heaven the last shall be first (😂).
My legal team tells me that is a lie. . .
like the myth the meek shall inherit the Earth.

When I ascend 
God shall sit by my side!
(Or he'll be sorry
that he let me die.)

WSJ: Chief Justice Roberts Rebuts Trump’s Attacks on Judges

WASHINGTON—Chief Justice John Roberts rebutted President Trump’s attacks on federal judges who rule against him as political actors, issuing a statement on Wednesday defending the independence and integrity of the federal judiciary.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” the chief justice said. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, the president disparaged a federal court ruling against his plan to block aliens from seeking asylum if they do not enter the U.S. at designated locations.

“This was an Obama judge and I’ll tell you what, this is not going to happen anymore,” Mr. Trump said. He went on to call the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in San Francisco and supervises federal law in nine western states, “a disgrace.”

The way I run MY business:

MY word is LAW;

everyone, all the time,

must bow in awe;

obey my command

or you get canned.

Running the country 
isn't that different.

Having one (total) boss 
is most efficient.

Courts and Congresses are 
all well and good,

but I AM THE LAW. 
Is that understood?

When I say “disgrace” 
I mean DIS! GRACE!

Chief “Just Ass” Roberts 
can be replaced.

Many are ready 
on the alt-Right.

All ready with robes 
(and hoods) lily white.
