The Rules Don't Apply to Me


 In January of 2004, I was almost a year from prison. At the time, I was on probation. I was catching the bus to probation every month and looking for a job that I didn't have a ride to. I began watching this new show on NBC called, "The Apprentice". It was pretty good, too. The millionaire, Donald Trump, was the host. He had his two children and this stiff multi-millionaire side-kick that knew a little something about business. He was there, because that knew Trumps children knew little about real business and the network wanted some legitimacy on set. They had some pretty smart and productive people on the show and Omarosa. She was there to antagonist to keep everything negative and disruptive and lasted waaay longer than she should have. Then it came to the last task and a Black guy named Kwame and a White guy named Bill. They got to pick teams and Kwame ended up with Omarosa and Bill got all the smart and "innovative" White contestants. In other words they spoke the part, dressed the part and looked the part, but in reality couldn't execute the part and that showed as they put together the golfing event. 

Kwame had the more amusing and exciting task. He had to put on a show with Jessica Simpson. She and Nick came to Atlantic City for a  day, and were swept away by Omarosa's antics. Trump used Omarosa to sabotage Kwame's event. He couldn't use one fake the White players. Kwame could scream foul and racism. No, he got Omarosa the Black patsy to steal the star and any chance for Kwame to be a success. She was rallied by Trump to blow it for the Black man and thus, the racist Trump showed his face for the first time on national television. A whole 12 years before the real show. I was pissed and wrote to Mark Burnett about all I saw. I bet he never read my letter, but I told him Trump was a racist back then. Omarosa was a Geechie pawn in a game to show the world that we can't work together and not have any growth when we try. It didn't matter what would be said about her in the end, because the rules did not apply to her. She was a part of an elite group of White people in America, lead by one of the "richest" men in America; Donald J. Trump. We came for her, of course, the same way we did in 2016. She hid behind the elite curtain of Trump, and the rules didn't apply to her. in 2004, In 2016 her antics would not be tolerated by the elites White Supremist of Trump's administration. For once, she didn't have to just make one happy, Trump, but a whole slew of them that included "The Whitest", Steve Bannon. 


Donald Trump & Omarosa

I could just imagine they had brief acknowledgements of how she was out of control and didn't know her place as a Black person, allowed into an exclusive group merely for show. She didn't understand she wasn't ever going to be taken seriously or her position taken to the heart of any of them. That's not why they were in the White House and at the first opportunity they were going to let her go. When she was told to leave, Trump did exactly what he did yesterday, abandon the plan and go with what works best for his agenda. I know Trump planned to make America pay with the very people they fight for every day. Just like Omarosa, they met with some of those people and made promises of a better day. When it didn't work, he cut them loose with an, "I love you". He doesn't want them to abandon him and tell the truth about the coup. At this point, we can't say the police weren't in on it. They moved barricades, took selfies and left areas unguarded. Just like Omarosa, they were free to make Pelosi, Schumer and Pence pay for not letting him get what he wanted, the Presidency. I watched him, watching the may lay be carried out, and I could tell he felt they weren't doing enough. He wanted more fire, more yelling and more carnage. He had a much bigger coup in mind. 

He made the people feel the rules didn't apply to them. They are the White people of America and they would be seen like the men of the Boston Tea Party. Rebels and Revolutionaries in the end he would stand with them and for them for the cause. Only it was all built on a lie. When those men tossed that tea, England had abandon them to fight a war with the French. Then came back to them after they had built their empires, broke and with an agenda to steal their wealth through taxation. They had every right to protect their way of life and all their hard work and prosperity. Those people on Wednesday, were doing Trump's dirty work, just like Omarosa who is in hiding somewhere, after coming out against Trump and no one wanted to hear her. Hawley wants to tell a story and no one wants to hear him, either. When a bad player has shown his hand and abandoned his followers for his own self, then best run for the hills. Everyone that was a part of his lies and destruction must be cut off from everything good and decent. Pence saved his career with one sentence, "Let's get back to work". It wasn't his plea for the thugs to stop that saved him, but his willingness to do the will of the people. What this country was built on. Majority rules, and Trump lost. This isn't a game show, where he sets the rules and players. This is America, where you are punished for your dirty deeds. The rules do apply to each and every rioter at our Capitol and time will show them punished. 

This is not enough? This is sacred buildings and America's history. He wanted them to burn it down!
