Trump, Still Being Trump

DONALD TRUMP thihks he will be arrested tomorrow, Tuesday, March 21, and, if there is justice in the universe, he will be, or, if not, soon thereafter. A brief recapitulation of his many crimes is thus in order. A prominent Russian oligarch, "oligarch" meaning one of the serveral fabulously wealthy Russians with whom Vlad the Mutilator Putin surrounds himself, enriching them on the backs and from the pockets of the Russian people, said it straight out: Yes I did meddle in the 2016 American presidential eelction in 2016, again in 2020, and I will do it again in twenty twenty four... We have been warned. Long ago both the FBI and the CIA confirmed the truth of this, that Donald J. Trump knowingly, willingly, happily welcomed and accepted this illegal foreign campaign assistance, which consisted mostly of made-in-Russia websites spreading disinformation about Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Supporters of Trump reacted to this by claiming that it was all a hatchet job by an FBI and CIA swarming with radical liberals who hate Trump. Go figure, as they say. Then too there was the Ukrainian-Zelensky thing, in which Trump, in a telephone call that was recorded and heard by milllions, tried to blackmail Zelensky into handing over dirt, fabricated or otherwise, about the Bidens, in exchange for a weapons package which had already been ahthourized by Congress but was being with held by Trump as blackmail bait.we now plainly see the impact of this. But the list, or Trump's crimes, gets even longer. It reaches its peak in twenty twenty, when Trump tried to steal the presidency from Biden, and sent a violent mob of conservative evangelical Christian supporters to the Capitol in a failed attempt to violently overthrow the American government. We know that on the day of the violent insurrection President Trump committed the crime of incitement to insurrection, because millions of us saw him commit the crime on national television, live. An investigation spanning more than ten minutes, let alone years, seems unnecessary, but one must abide by due process. So we arrive at the present, with the New York City PD putting up barricades to contril, or at to herd, the anticipated reassembly of Trump's violent mob. There was indeed a conspiracy to steal the election from Trump in twenty twenty, and it consisted of slightly more than eighty six million people. We, the co conspirators, got caught, at the ballot box. If nothing else, the violent mob of evangelical Christian Trump supprters who evidently still support him can savor their apprehension of the guilty parties who stole the election, and they will have ample time to celebrate, in heaven, or wherever.
