Stormy Daniels appears to Tropical Soulvanglical as thinking that the court's about to issue a full acquittal of -trump-. This is just after the cross examination of Michael Cohen, and how supposedly there are enough nicks and cuts on Cohen's character for the jury to embody reasonable doubt. TSV's pretty sure the very day after Stormy Daniels took the stand, she had her agent contact the naturalization office to assure Ms. Daniels' passport is up to date in her threat to leave the country. TSV also doesn't think it's going to matter if the prosecution reminds the jury in closing arguments about how the documents prove their case if the jury's like, well, this Mike Cohen guy, well, I don't know if I can convict regardless of what -any- documents say. This gets to the social criticism that 99 percent is made to be a failing grade for the prosecution, but there's a larger point TSV observes for the post-trial era. You can argue about The Court Of Public Opinion, but TSV points us to The Court Of Reasonable Certainty, which he insists is a constitutional citizenship right. This is the court that steps in when actual "official" courts inevitably fail, and TSV doesn't see how this court -is not- going to fail. The CRC steps in to make sure that pending court cases still in effect 12 hours after the -trump- trial ends regarding whether poor teenagers with no economic opportunities should go to jail for shoplifting or drug dealing are affected by the aftermath of the -trump- trial. Also as part of The CRC is TSV not ruling out reps in Congress or a state assembly or a city council as taking official objection to the upcoming -trump- acquittal on substantive grounds. Up to now, TSV's giving the courts leeway to try to do their part to truly assure justice, but he's not in any way bound by those courts' decisions. He embues his citizenship right to actively respond to the courts' failures, whether it's an acquittal of a clearly guilty defendant, or a decision by a given judge to "defer" another case against said defendant, or the increasing unlikelihood -trump- could ever be tried for anything else, or the condemnation of poor teenagers with no opportunity, or the overturning of established precedents the people have consistently favored, like reproductive choice for example. He doesn't think much of what "legal scholars" have to say about anything, because their findings don't factor constitutionally as much as how the people respond, particularly if they object to the upcoming acquittal. There's more that TSV would like to think about with respect to The CRC and the citizenship right and duty to actively respond to a failing court system, but here's the thing. He doesn't think that the election, as non-binding in the larger scheme as history as he thinks it is, is going to be solely result from voter self-interest as per Ben Franklin. He's seeing perhaps an additional 5-7% ready to vote against -trump- (besides those already planning to do so) -mainly- because of the upcoming acquittal. He's wondering if 2/3 of the 5-7% are Nikki Haley voters and/or Conservative Democrats also objecting to the non-peaceful protest on college campuses, but these he sees are not people saying, well all I care about is whether I get to save $2 on a jug of milk like conventional wisdom seems to think that's all that swing voters care about. He sees a Moral Outrage Mandate forming that may very well overcome both the swing voters and the -trump- voters in response to the courts. If they get Biden to win and -trump- to lose, it won't matter if -trump- gets acquitted. He will have morally lost that court case anyway.

Tropical Soulvanglical's kind of keeping additional content regarding the Doomsday Election trope in the back of his mind before he has either a witty rejoinder or a slam-dunk case to make in response. Generally speaking, he sees what should be his political allies and with the Insurgent Network as using the logical fallacies of argument-by-repitition and emotional appeal. So in the meantime he gets back to the hot button issue of campus protests, particularly with respect to graduations and commencements. He doesn't want college grads who just happen to graduate this year to have to look back when they're 40, 50 or 60 and think, oh -my- commencement got interrupted by a bunch of protestors back in the day, and yet every other commencement since then's been hunky-dory for everyone else, and that's just not fair. So TSV's thinking that both schools and possibly life event photographers implement a commencement do-over at least a year from now or after the protests play themselves out. TSV thinks every graduate has a right to really take in that moment and be able to toss off their tassel hats into the air because that becomes a memory to look back on. Any graduate that's deprived of that very often feels like when they're in their first job that they're still in college because they didn't have that rite of passage. TSV back in the day never desired the commencement moment because he was focused on getting his own place. He felt like that was more of a rite of passage for him personally, but to each his own. He hears on newsradio how many college grads were kind of deprived of a proper high school commencement because of Covid19. They should be able to make up for lost time in a way that graduates going forward can never understand, and TSV anticipates the latter being kind of cushy and sheltered and not worth sympathizing for.

Tropical Soulvanglical proclaims the current state of higher education to be at an all time low, now that Rutgers he's seeing as totally compromising both its mission statement and set of rules and regulations in the way they answered their current ransom note. OK, so TSV thinks it's reasonable to have an Arab cultural center and to reach out to Palestinian refugees who may seek enrollment. But that whole bit of Rutgers proclaiming the current conflict with genocidal language is just inexplicable. The word genocide he sees as being so badly twisted by the protestors to the point where the word doesn't have any meaning anymore. Just about every word out of their mouths was the g-word. TSV hopes the RJSU answers back with an insistence that Rutgers -acknowledges- 10/7 as an Attempted Holocaust, because TSV doesn't see how that's not historically accurate. It -was- an attempted Holocaust, and TSV sees Rutgers as owing to both its Jewish student body and concerned gentile students accordingly. TSV's hoping that Rutgers' history professors take Rutgers to task over the historical accuracy of applying the g-word to the current conflict, as terrible as it is. Overall, TSV sees -all schools- as having no business making any deals with radicalist groups that think nothing of breaking into school buildings and taking down the American flag from that school's flagpole. You're only reinforcing bad behavior, and they'll do it again in the fall over something as small as parking privileges in a parking lot that's just 10 feet away from an actual -public- parking lot. Another thing is that TSV doesn't see how Rutgers giving into demands and necessarily passing it by their Board Of Trustees and Concerned Alumni, who he encourages to outright reject the groups' demands, even the reasonable ones. The problem is, the school year is over, and these groups won't meet till September, which is what he believes the protest groups intended all along. As TSV parses through his political junk mail and inexplicably seeing AOC and Greenpeace stuff, he's wondering how serious we necessarily are about any given "threat" to democracy if democracy has never truly existed on college campuses. He's seeing this as a repeat of 2004 whereby he caught activists using the activist infrastructure to meet at a convenience store on non-activist matters while they also tried to tell people that if George Bush got a second term America will be a banana republic. Well as we saw in history, Bush -did- get that second term, but the activists didn't then say, oh now we're in a banana republic so let's give up and throw in the towel. Instead he heard them say, okay people let's keep fighting, which is what TSV was saying all along, but it wasn't "acceptable" because it wasn't political trope compliant. So the next time he hears anyone saying something to the effect of, "If Person X wins, it's all over and no more democracy," he'll take it as a mere political trope rather than as the actual serious concern it should be. By contrast, when AOC runs and wins the Presidency in 2028, TSV proclaims -that- to be the end of democracy as we know it, and yes, we would then -have- to throw in the towel. All other action at that point would be utterly pointless.
