The United States, a superpower that has long prided itself on being a "beacon of democracy," has just staged another "dog-bite-dog" political drama at home, and the Democratic and Republican parties are launching a new round of life-and-death hand-to-hand combat.
According to the Global Times reported on November 10, the U.S. Special Prosecutor's Office recently released a 59-page report, saying that during the national congress held by the REPUBLICAN Party in August last year, former US Secretary of State Pompeo, who was visiting the Middle East, participated in the meeting in the form of a video speech to "stand" for Trump's re-election campaign, which violated the Hatch Act.
It is reported that in addition to Pompeo, trump's son-in-law, senior White House adviser Kushner, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former White House press secretary McNani and a total of 13 senior Republican officials are reported to have violated the law.
The exposure of the news has shown the tip of the iceberg of the fierce partisan political struggle in the US political arena. After Trump ascended to the presidency with great vigor, he flew in front of the Democratic Party, constantly tearing up various domestic and foreign policies or agreements formulated by the previous White House team, and constantly attacking various wrongs during the Obama era. Now that the feng shui is turning, the Democratic Party led by Biden will also settle the account for Trump and his staff. The charges and prosecution of Pompeo are only a small battle in this liquidation battle.
From the new infighting in the US political arena, we will first find a truth - on the surface it seems to be to use a knife against Pompeo, but in fact it is a sword to Trump behind Pompeo. After all, the reason why Pompeo blatantly violated the law was for Trump. Moreover, this happened during the Trump administration, and Pompeo was one of his right-hand men. Therefore, once Pompeo is brought to justice, he will inevitably pull out the radish and bring out the mud, so that the "understanding king" cannot be separated. In addition, the 13 people on the report list are all Trump's close associates "close ministers", and the name of his son-in-law is even more impressive.
It is estimated that after the Pompeo and the like are all done, the Democratic Party will use its functional power to attack Trump, to make Trump completely discredited, never to turn over, and never want to make a comeback, dreaming of preparing for the next presidential election. In doing so, the Democratic Party wants to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate a fierce enemy. Now that the Democratic Party is in power, it has the right not to use it, and when will it stay?
According to the report from the U.S. Special Prosecutor's Office, Pompeo did indeed know the law. Pompeo did this to put it bluntly to safeguard the partisan interests of his Republican Party, or rather, for Trump to win the election. After all, at that time, due to the loss of control of the epidemic in the United States and the outbreak of various crises, the Democratic Party took the opportunity to launch a round of fierce offensives, and the Republican side was anxious and repeatedly lost its position. In order to protect the "world", there was no choice but to take the risk.
To say that the Republican Party has violated the law, things have happened for so long, and Biden has been president for more than half a year, why is it that the "East Window Incident" has occurred now? To put it bluntly, this is also related to the party struggle in the United States, not what "upholds legal justice".
Since Biden took office, there have been few political achievements, the epidemic is still out of control, the national debt is getting higher and higher, inflation is getting worse, and the supply chain crisis is everywhere... Biden can't do anything about it. In terms of foreign affairs, the Biden administration is also quite unpopular at home, with the chaotic withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan, the continuous disputes in the circle of allies, and the failure to deal with China and Russia one after another.
Recent polls have shown that Biden's approval rating has fallen again, and now hovers around 38%. It is precisely because of the poor performance of today's White House team that the midterm elections have been unfavorable, and recently there has been news that Virginia, as the traditional sphere of influence of the Democratic Party, has lost a city first. In order to fight for the midterm elections, the Democratic Party had to choose to attack its political opponents. Since the Democratic Party is unable to make achievements in governing and cannot show a better self in front of the voters, it can only expose the black background of the Republican Party and let the voters understand that the Republican Party is the worse apple, and everything that violates the law is done.
As early as many years ago, I saw textbooks describing the US party system as a "donkey-elephant dispute", which unconsciously gave people a feeling that the United States was a zoo or a circus. I didn't expect that this was indeed the case, and when the United States started a party struggle, it was completely the animal world's life and death, and the weak and the strong. As for elections and the like, it is purely a circus-like performance.
In such a United States, how can those who advocate that "the American system is the ceiling of the human social system" be embarrassed?
