THE ink is not even dry from my previous Op-ed warning that the way the Senate tried to help the Governor get “Full Reprograming Authority of OUR Budget by using Retirees in the same Bill” was a prelude to what might come. Well, it didn’t take long for us-folks-in-the-cheap-seats to see I was telling the TRUTH in predicting what was to come and even the Horrible CONSEQUENCES that WE the People must endure. I don’t have any shame in my game, but Senate President Jude U. Hofschneider seems to have literally LOST-his-MIND or he really does think WE the People are stupid. His bold stance of “sole authority to adopt his Kangaroo Rules” is literally DARING Tinian voters, who can see his “skullduggery with the rules,” to re-elect him. Senator Hofschneider and the Republicans have clearly put their political careers on the line FOR the Governor, not the People so sad! It’s now CLEAR that Tinian and the CNMI need NEW Senators from Tinian. These are the SAME Republican Senators who HELPED KILL Tinian’s Casino & Economy. It’s on Tinian Voters to deliver Justice on Judgment Day by “Voting Blue to be THROUGH” with ALL the “deflecting, gaslighting, poli-tricking and corruption”!
The poli-tricking by the Senate with the crazy rules they have come up with won’t fool anyone with common sense even if Republicans don’t want to admit the rules are pathetic. What makes it worse the Senate President is already showing his “contempt for the Minority Senator” by trying to silence Sen. Paul Manglona from even commenting. So disrespectful! You guys (Republicans) are literally cutting your own political throats with the ridiculous rules and now you’re DISRESPECTING a fellow Senator because he wants to “speak-up & out FOR the People.” You guys are not fooling anyone with common sense, even your supporters have to be finding it hard to keep “turning a blind-eye.” It should really be clear to voters with an “objective-eye” that this group of Republicans in the House and in the Senate have only SERVED the “Governor’s Personal Intentions NOT Justice nor the People” — for TRUE! The Republican Party has turned into “the Torres Blind-eyed Loyalty Party” and the Senate President is even BRAGGING about having ALL Power. Well, Republicans may have all power now but that will change come Judgment Day!
Senators Hofschneider, Cruz, and Sablan are really helping my humble-plea to voters to get rid of this ENTIRE group of Republicans and teach them ALL a REAL Poli-tricking Lesson “as they don’t know where your vote goes.” Voters are literally being FORCED to get rid of the Senate President and his crew of Republicans Senators for trying to get away with “helping the Governor get Full Reprograming Authority and now they are literally trying to put the FIX-IN on the TRIAL to acquit the Governor with Kangaroo Rules. These Senators are deliberately committing miscarriages of Justice right in our faces like WE the People are Stupid but Judgment Day to Ax these Senators is right around the corner, thank God!
If you haven’t seen the picture of Senate President Jude U. Hofschneider recently having a GREAT time with the Governor, his running mate Vinnie and the DPS Commissioner you need to check it out as it is going viral on Social-Media. The Senate President, who is SUPPOSED to be an HONORABLE man, seemingly doesn’t have any level of INTEGRITY as the Head Juror in the Trial. He sent a message loud and clear with the big smile on his face in the picture with the Governor that he doesn’t plan to convict the Governor. I’m sure no Judge nor Juror would ever be caught literally PARTYING with the defendant on Trial, but that is exactly what just happened, making Justice an ugly JOKE!
This picture of Senator Hofschneider with the Governor literally proves he thinks Voters are stupid if we expect to see the Governor convicted.
I just want to THANK Senate President Jude U. Hofschneider for showing the TRUE-Colors of Republicans and your Intentions to carry out the Governor’s “Personal Intentions OVER the Rule of Law and what is JUST & RIGHT.” You guys (Republicans — Blind-eyed Arnold TOO) are all going to get the “Political Spanking of a Lifetime” come Judgment Day. You guys are making your “Political Power Plays” because you have ALL the Power that Senator Hofschneider is now boasting about. But voters can see how you are abusing your power even trying to tell the House who they can use in the Trial. I have NEVER EVER heard of anyone being told what Attorney they can or cannot use in a Trial. You guys are not even fooling High-schoolers with this rule. But believe it or not, I actually hope and pray you Republicans will keep it up and even acquit the Governor to make SURE voters are truly upset come Judgment Day, for TRUE! So just keep being LOYAL to Governor and having the Good Times with him because ALL of Your days are numbered for Poli-tricking on behalf of the Governor’s Personal Intentions. After seeing these recent events with the Republicans in the Senate I’m sure the majority of WE the Retirees & Voters with common sense can’t wait to show you that WE are NOT Stupid come Judgment Day! To be continued: One people, One Direction.
