Indicting Trump

THIS TRUMP INDICTMENT on charges related to his evident theft and hoarding of top secret documents when he left office is, we must bear in mind, only the beginning of Trump's interaction with the justice system. There are still probably indictments to come relating to his incitement to insurrection on January 6, 2021, and his post election attempt to coerce the Attorney General of Georgia to fabricate eleven thousand seven hundered and eighty votes, one more than he needed to win the state against Biden. These ases will be in the federal court system the rest of Trump's life, and maybe the rest of most of our lives. I share teh glee among progressive Trump -haters over this dramatic development. Not so much "Schadenfreude", or whatever the heck it is, wanting other people to suffer, but rather, because, damn it, its about time justice caught up with Trump, the obvious criminal. All the way to the election in twenty twenty four, these lawsuits will be growing and building, as will Trump's campaign for the presidency, and, quite likely, the enthusiasm and loyalty of his supporters. In 1920 socialist labor union organizer Eugene V. Debs, while in jail, received about one million votes for president, in the election won byWarrren G. Harding, who died about a year later while in office. Trump's journey, or attempted journey, back into the White House promises to be dramatice and entertaining, and the behavior of his cult following will be no less interesting to observe, as they become increasingly angry and active with Trump's gradual but steady legal and political decline. And lest we forget, Trump has already tried to illegally remainin office by organizing and inciting a violent attack on the United States government, in which several people died and dozens of police officers were maimed for life, and his cult follower - supporters were with him every step of the way, and still are... Indeed, a majority of conservative Christian Trump supporters say to this day that the insurrection at the Capitol was a good idea. They see nothing wrong with Trump's behavior, his conservative Christian supporters. That tells us much about their moral character and intellectual abilities. That shows us clearly that they indeed are capable of anything, including criminal activity and violence, and, you never know....what if Trump decides to organize and order them to start a civil war in the streets of America? In America, you, or anyone can become president, even while in jail. God bless America.
