前总统川普出庭应讯

在严密之保安下，美国前总统川普週二在迈阿米联邦法院出庭。 他面临三十七项罪名，指控非法保留三百件白宫机制密文件， 最高监禁刑期可能是一百年， 成為美国歷史上首位被以联邦罪名起诉之前总统。

川普昨天在庭上一语不发， 全由律师代表， 只有在法官询问他是否认罪时， 他才开口一概否认，但他在庭后被无条件获释 ，并未对他做出任何旅行之限制 。

川普离开法庭后前往一家古巴餐厅， 支持者高唱生日快乐歌為他庆祝七十七岁生日 ，但他在过程中还是大骂拜登总统我们的政府失控了。

这项指控在川普律师之运作下可能要到2024 年大选之后才可能开审， 这是多么荒唐的事情， 而且川普可能会再度当选為下任总统。

我们今天面临的是民主共和两党之恶斗， 在许多方面可说是水火不容， 明年之大选将会达到最高峯。

今天在民主选举过程中， 选票和钞票已经是主要成功之因素。 许多候选人以尖锐之民粹言论吸引选民之注意， 加上许多利益团体之金钱援助， 已经把真正的民主政治失焦， 实在是令人担忧和失望。

                                Trump Pleads Not Guilty In Federal Court

Former President Trump was indicted last week on 37 federal felony counts including willful retention of national defense information, making false statements and representation and conspiracy to obstruct justice.                                              

In court, Trump sat silently with his hands crossed and had a "Not Guilty" plea entered by his attorney. He was released after the court did not impose any travel restrictions on him.                                                               

After leaving the court, Trump went to a Cuban restaurant to join his supporters to celebrate his 77^th birthday.  Under the plan of his lawyer, the trial may not start until after the 2024 presidential election.

What we are facing today is a fierce conflict between the Republican and Democrat parties.

We have to admit that today's politics are won with money and votes. Many people become politicians because they receive financial assistance from many interest groups that do not really represent the interests of all the people.
