Why isn’t he behind bars for the truth social threats? “If you come after me, I’m coming after you!” All these indictments appear to be window dressing if they don’t follow up.
It is really hard to think about tRump’s indictment without smiling! While it is sad that an American President needs to be indicted; it is great to see the most divisive and despicable person ever to hold the office finally face justice!
It is sad that the Senate shirked their responsibility and many of the GQP chose to violate their oath of office to uphold the Constitution by refusing to acknowledge his crimes and remove him from office when they had the chance. They could have allowed us to have avoided a huge amount of grief that he is responsible for. It is also very sad that they and others continue to lie and cover up for him.
That we have allowed the wealthy and corrupt to despoil our democratic republic for selfish reasons shows how uninvolved/apathetic our electorate has become.
Like others here have said, the only thing sad about this day is how long it took to happen. Let’s hope for convictions, and also hope no GQP weasel steals the election and pardons him. Those state crimes in Georgia look more and more important every day.
Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address: “If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. The greatest threat to United States is lawlessness and mob rule. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice.”
Criminal egomanic D rump doesn’t think he has to answer to anyone. Thanks to NY, DC and soon Georgia we are all about to find out if this wannabe dictator is finally held accountable.
Here’s what makes me sad and worried. After the Nixon disaster, the Republicans felt the need to hit back at the Democrats, and so we got the completely unjustified and unnecessary impeachment of Bill Clinton. (I might add parenthetically that I never liked Bill Clinton. But I didn’t see that he did anything that was impeachable.) I worry that after the Trump mega-disaster, the Republicans will want to hit back at the Democrats. I fear a bitter period of political division and stagnation. Meanwhile, we desperately need a united effort to deal with climate change.
It’s not a sad day for America. An enemy of the U.S. has been indicted upon findings by a Grand Jury, ‘WE, the People’, for crimes committed, and will be tried in a court of Law and guilt or innocence decided by a jury made up of of WE, the People’.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC;"
Though some with an agenda claim that our government or our Great Nation are “broken”, it surely looks as though it works quite well to me. It might not be as speedy as some wish, and we are sure to see many more attempts to attack our Great Nation as a defense in the coming trials, but “WE, the People” will judge a former president as our Founders prepared our self-government to do.
Sad that is necessary, even more sad that a large percentage of the country’s electorate believe it’s a ‘political hit job’ and will still vote for him.
It has taken almost 70 years for Donnie John to be held accountable for ANY of his actions – and that’s assuming that any court can find 12 people of integrity and good judgment to sit as a jury!
Incidentally, moving the trial to West Virginia won’t help – the most “honorable” man to come out of that state (Manchen) is still as crooked as a dog’s hind leg, as my grandmother used to say – that judgment is based on the idea that we elect as representative those people that most closely mirror our hopes and ideals…

It is unfortunate that it had to happen, but no one should be considered above the law.
I do believe this demonstrates the existence of the two tier legal system, due to all the delays.
