CAL THOMAS COMENTARY MARCH 25, 2024
TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR DONALD TRUMP TO COUGH-UP NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS AS A FINE FOR OVERVALUING HIS PROPERTY ASSETS. BY THE TIME YOU HEAR THIS HE MIGHT HAVE PULLED THE MAGICAL RABBIT FROM A HAT, BUT THE UNFAIRNESS OF IT ALL IS STARTING TO TROUBLE LIBERALS.
RUTH MARCUS, ONE OF THE MOST LIBERAL COLUMNISTS IN THE WASHINGTON POST, WROTE: “IS IT FAIR TO REQUIRE TRUMP TO POST A BOND OF THIS MAGNITUDE TO APPEAL A JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM — $464 MILLION INCLUDING INTEREST?”
MARCUS IS NO FRIEND OF TRUMP. SHE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE ON “THE VIEW” WITH OTHER TRUMP HATERS, BUT HER QUESTION ABOUT FAIRNESS IN THE LAW IS A GOOD ONE. IF THE LAW IS NOT APPLIED EQUALLY AND FAIRLY TO EVERYONE, THEN IT CAN BE USED TO PUNISH PEOPLE OFFICIALS REGARD AS POLITICAL ENEMIES AND ALLOW OTHERS TO ESCAPE JUDGMENT. ISN’T THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CASE OF HUNTER BIDEN AND SO MANY OTHER CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND OFFICIALS IN WASHINGTON AND ELSEWHERE, NOT TO MENTION THE BORDER.
“EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW” HAS BECOME A CLICHÉ. IT ISN’T TRUE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO PUT PEOPLE BACK IN POWER WHO WILL FIX IT. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. REMEMBER THAT IN NOVEMBER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
