Alexander Macris contemplates the President at the banks of a certain river of historical fame:
In the closing days of
50 BC, the Roman Senate declared that Julius Caesar’s term as a provincial
governor was finished. Roman law afforded its magistrates immunity to
prosecution, but this immunity would end with Caesar’s term. As the leader of
the populares faction, Caesar had many enemies among the
elite optimates, and as soon as he left office, these enemies
planned to bury him in litigation. Caesar knew he would lose everything:
property, liberty, even his life.
Caesar decided it was better to fight for victory than accept
certain defeat. In January 49 BC, he crossed the Rubicon River with his army,
in violation of sacred Roman law, and begin a civil war. “Alea iacta est,” said
Caesar: The die is cast.
In the closing days of 2020 AD, the American media has declared
that Donald Trump’s term as president is finished. As the leader of the
deplorables faction, Trump has many enemies among the elite irates, and as soon
as he leaves office, these enemies plan to bury him in litigation. Bill
Pascrell, the Chairman of the House Ways & Means Subcommittee on Oversight,
has officially called for the prosecution of President Trump for “government
crimes” following his term in office. In his thirst for vengeance, Pascrell has
made it clear there will be no Nixonian escape by pardon:
Donald Trump, along with his worst enablers, must be tried for
their crimes against our nation and Constitution. Any further abuse of the
sacred pardon power to shield criminals would itself be obstruction of justice,
and any self-pardons would be illegal.
Like Caesar, Trump now must fight for victory or lose
everything. Come January 2021, will Donald Trump decide to cast the die and
cross the Rubicon? He might.
The same people who warned us that Trump is worse than Hitler
will now scoff: “Donald Trump is no Caesar!” That’s true. Trump is in a much
better position than Caesar was.
Unlike Caesar, Trump can cross the Rubicon legally. He need
violate no sacred law. He has all of the legal power he needs to act and win.
Congress has given it to him. All he needs to do is invoke the Insurrection
Act.
Read the whole thing. It is time for the God-Emperor to
cross the Rubicon and put an end to the facade that has permitted demons and
literal devil-worshippers to rule over the American people. Iacta alea,
et transire Rubiconem!
