Umfana oselula wangcungcuthekiswa eChicago kule veki. Yayingesosenzo samapolisa aseChicago. Yayisasazwa ngqo kuFacebook. Kwaye uMongameli waseUnited States wabhengeza ukuba lulwaphulo-mthetho lwentiyo oloyikekayo.
UMongameli akazange acebise “ukukhangela phambili” kunokunyanzelisa umthetho. Yaye akazange avule ithuba lokuba ulwaphulo-mthetho lwalunokuba nenjongo ephakamileyo. Enyanisweni, akazange athethelele ulwaphulo-mthetho nangayiphi na indlela enokunceda ukuncomela ukuba luxeliswe ngabanye.
Ukanti lo mongameli ukwalela ukutshutshiswa kwabathuthumbisi bakarhulumente wase-US kwiminyaka eyi-8 edlulileyo kwaye ngoku ubone kufanelekile ukuba agcine ingxelo yeSenethi eneminyaka emine malunga nemfihlo yabo yokuthuthunjiswa ubuncinci iminyaka eyi-12 ngaphezulu.
Abanye abantu baseUnited States banokuthi umgaqo-nkqubo wokusingqongileyo kunye nemozulu kufuneka usekelwe kwizibakala. Abanye abantu (kuncinci kakhulu ukudibana phakathi kwamaqela amabini) bangakuxelela ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo wase-US obhekiselele eRussia kufuneka usekwe kwiinyani eziqinisekisiweyo. Nangona kunjalo, apha samkela ngokulula ukuba umgaqo-nkqubo wentuthumbo wase-US uya kusekelwa ekufihleni iinyani.
Umbhali oyintloko weNgxelo yeNtuthuko yeSenethi, uDianne Feinstein, uyibiza ngokuba “kukubhenca ngokupheleleyo ukungasebenzi kwentuthumbo.” Nangona kunjalo, nanku uMongameli uTrump, ethembisa ngokuphandle ukubandakanyeka ekuthuthunjisweni ngenxa yokusebenza kwayo (ukuziphatha kunye nokusemthethweni kuya kugwetywa), kwaye bobabini u-Obama noFeinstein banelisekile ukushiya ingxelo efihliweyo. Oko kukuthi, uFeinstein unyanzelisa ukuba yenziwe esidlangalaleni ngoku, kodwa akathathi nyathelo lokuyenza esidlangalaleni.
Ewe, nangona uMgaqo-siseko wase-US usenza iNkongolo ibe lelona sebe linamandla karhulumente, iinkulungwane zokuxhotyiswa kobukhosi ziye zakholisa wonke umntu ukuba umongameli angazihluza iingxelo zeSenethi. Kodwa ukuba uFeinstein wayekholelwa ngokwenyani ukuba ibalulekile wayeya kufumana isibindi somlonyeli kwaye athathe amathuba akhe kunye neSebe lezoBulungisa.
Amathuba okuba uDonald Trump akhulule (okanye afunde) ingxelo ibonakala incinci kodwa inokwenzeka. Ukuba u-Obama wayefuna ngokwenene ukuyingcwaba le ngxelo ngokulungileyo wayeza kuyivuza ngoku kwaye abhengeze ukuba amaRashiya anoxanduva. Emva koko ibiya kuba ngumsebenzi wokuthand’ izwe lomntu wonke ukuba anganikeli ngxelo okanye ajongwe kuyo. (uDebbie Wasserman ngubani?) Kodwa umdla wethu woluntu, uhlawule ingxelo (singasathethi ngentuthumbo) uchazwe kwangoko ngaphandle kwee-shenanigans.
Kungekudala emva kokuba isikhalazo yasungulwa efuna ukuba u-Obama akhuphe ingxelo, wachaza ukuba uya kuyikhusela kwintshabalalo eyoyikayo ngokuyigcina iyimfihlo iminyaka eyi-12 nangaphezulu. Indlela eqiniseke ngakumbi yokuwukhusela ekutshatyalalisweni ibiya kuba kukuwenza esidlangalaleni.
Sele kuyiminyaka emine okoko iKomiti yeSenethi “yeNgqondo” ikhuphe le ngxelo inamaphepha angama-7,000. Kunzima ngokwaneleyo ukuba uxwebhu olunamaphepha angama-7,000 luye ngokuchasene neentsomi, ubuxoki, kunye nemifanekiso bhanyabhanya yaseHollywood. Kodwa ngumlo ongenabulungisa ngokwenene xa uxwebhu lugcinwa luyimfihlo. Kuphela isishwankathelo esinamaphepha angama-500 sakhutshwa kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo.
UDavid Welna weNPR kutshanje unike ingxelo ngalo mbandela, ngendlela eqhelekileyo kumajelo eendaba ase-US, esithi: “Umongameli onyuliweyo uTrump . . . ukhankasele ukubuyisela intuthumbo ebingavumelekanga ngexesha lolawulo luka-Obama. "
Enyanisweni, phakathi kweminye imithetho, ukungcungcuthekiswa kwakungavumelekanga, phakathi kweminye imithetho, sisiHlomelo Sesibhozo, siSibhengezo Sehlabathi Lonke Samalungelo Abantu, uMnqophiso Wezizwe Ngezizwe Wamalungelo Oluntu NawezoPolitiko, iSivumelwano Sokungcungcuthekiswa (esidityaniswe yi-US ebudeni bolawulo lweReagan), kunye ne-anti. -imithetho yokuthuthumbisa kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe kwiKhowudi yase-US (ulawulo lukaClinton).
Intuthumbo yayisisenzo esigwenxa ngalo lonke ixesha elichazwe yiNgxelo yeNtuthumbo. UMongameli u-Obama wakunqabela ukutshutshiswa, nangona iNgqungquthela echasene neNtuthuko ifuna oko. Ulawulo lomthetho luye lwabandezeleka, kodwa umlinganiselo othile wenyaniso kunye noxolelwaniso luhlala lunokwenzeka - ukuba sivunyelwe ukuba siyazi inyaniso. Okanye kunoko: ukuba sivunyelwe ukuba inyaniso iphinde iqinisekiswe kuxwebhu olugunyazisiweyo oluqinisekisiwe ukuba luthathwe ngokungathí sina.
Ukuba siyayivinjwa inyaniso malunga nokuthuthunjiswa, ubuxoki buya kuqhubeka buthethelela, kwaye buya kuqhubeka nokubanga amaxhoba. Ubuxoki buya kubanga ukuba ukuthuthunjiswa "kuyasebenza" ngengqiqo yokunyanzelisa ukuveliswa kolwazi oluluncedo. Enyanisweni, ewe, ukuthuthumbisa "imisebenzi" ngengqiqo yokunyanzela amaxhoba ukuba athethe into efunwa ngumthuthumbisi, kubandakanywa namatye anqabileyo anjenge "Iraq inobudlelwane ne-al Qaeda."
Intuthumbo inokuvelisa imfazwe, kodwa intuthumbo ikwaveliswa yimfazwe. Abo baqondayo ukuba imfazwe isetyenziselwa ukugweba ukubulala abanamathandabuzo ambalwa malunga nokongezelela ityala elincinane lentuthumbo kwibhokisi yezixhobo zemfazwe. Xa amaqela afana ne-ACLU echasa ukuhlushwa ngelixa ukukhuthaza imfazwe babophe izandla zozibini ngasemva. Iphupha lemfazwe engenantuthumbo libubudenge. Kwaye xa iimfazwe zingapheli, kwaye ukuhlushwa kuguqulwa kulwaphulo-mthetho kukhetho lomgaqo-nkqubo, ukuhlushwa kuyaqhubeka, njengoko injalo ngexesha likaMongameli Obama.
Abanye abaDemokhrasi bakhubekile ukuba iiClintons ziya kujoyina uDonald Trump kumbhiyozo wakhe wokuqala. Benza ntoni ngo-Obama ekhusela umcebisi kaTrump uDick Cheney kwindawo esembindini wenkqubo yakhe yolwaphulo-mthetho?
