Tonight is the worst Rachel Maddow program I have ever begun watching. Her assessment of this

indictment as "no big deal" and comparing it to the Memendez and Blagojevich etc. prosecutions is 180 degrees "off".

Yes, it will, take longer than we'd like, but this is the FIRST POTUS to be criminally prosecuted---and not just a POTUS---the ONLY traitorous POS elected with the help of a foreign adversary who incited a violent insurrection in an effort to retain power after losing a fair election.

This is a big deal, Rachel.

I am pretty much fed up with all the "serious, responsible, patriotic" commentators on TV

sadly intoning that "We don't celebrate this indictment. This is not a happy day for America!"

The Hell you say!

I am jubilant! Overjoyed! Lifting a glass---or two---in celebration of this rank bag of pus FINALLY being charged with one of his many crimes!

I will be similarly ecstatic as the several other investigations result in legal proceedings that ruin him financially and sentence him to die in prison.

As for those who say it is terrible to prosecute a former president, Trump was, with Putin's assistance, an Oval Office squatter for four years but, for me and more than a few others, he was NEVER a legitimate POTUS.

Here's lookin' at you, kid!

TTIOTNWTPVI* former guy

*The Twice Impeached One Term Never Won The Popular Vote INDICTED former guy.

I'd heard about "a man goin' 'round takin' names". I just didn't know his name was Alvin Bragg. nt

Hope The Tokens won't mind----

He's goin' away, he's goin away, he's goin' away, he's goin' away!
He's goin' away, he's goin' away, he's goin' away, he's goin' away!

At Mar-A-Lago an hour ago
He heard the word: "Indict!"
In Palm Beach, at last in reach,
He'll get no sleep tonight!

He's goin' away, (etc.)
"

In New York City, it won't be pretty
He'll soon feel karma's bite!
In New York City, he'll find no pity;
He's bound to lose this fight!

He's goin' away, (etc.)
"

Hush, you doubters and what-abouters:
The jury said "INDICT!"
Hush, you doubters, you what-abouters!
King MAGA fell tonight!

Oh, yes, he is goin' far away!
He-e-e-e, he he is goin' far away!

Conservatives, whether still "Republicans" or right-leaning "independents, 2024 boils down to

just one simple question for you to answer: "Am I so morally bankrupt and crazy that I could vote for Trump or his ilk?"

If that's a tough question for you, most of us already know your answer.

Memo to those who insist they carry an AR-15 or have a high capacity mag for their pistol

for "self defense": who the hell do you think believes that nonsense?

I just read that most "gunfights" in which a carried weapon is used to defend the carrier last THREE seconds during which THREE shots are fired at a distance if THREE feet. That was stated by a big gun manufacturer in an article on YOUTUBE.

If that is true---and it sounds right---why do you need a 16 round pistol with a laser sight or--- an AR?

Maybe a larger question would be "Why are you so damned scared in a donut shop or a mall? What have you done that makes you fear others are 'comin' for ya'"?

You are a pathetic invertebrate that has been bullied and lied to by the mega-corporations who want to SELL you ever more deadly weapons which have killing people as their obvious purpose.

You don't NEED those weapons; you WANT them.

We all know why.

Some MAGA "silver linings" of the 3 murdered Nashville nine-year-olds:

None of those kids will read "To Kill A Mockingbird".
None will learn about Hank Aaron or Rkberto Clemente.
None will ever see a drag show.
None will have an abortion or love someone who does.

And, thank goodness, none of these babies will grow up gay or trans or---a gun-hating liberal snowflake!

"Voting for Dummies"

If you would choose a Christian Scientist for your brain surgeon, a vegan for your butcher and a convicted pedophile for your babysitter, vote for Republicans to manage your government.

All others: vote for imperfect Democrats!

I believe that a very significant percentage of the population is composed of what most

would call "followers". These folks want desperately to be accepted by the majority without regard to what the majority thinks, believes, says or does. Their favorite words might be "Yeah, that's what I think, too!"

What this means, it seems to me, is that much of the popularity of Trump and his MAGA cult is attributable almost entirely to the constant "news coverage". In much of what is selected for broadcasting, it SEEMS that "everyone" agrees that he is a great leader and packed crowds are advertising their willingness to "fight" to put him in power.

Too many, it seems, react to what sickens us with "Me, too!"

We rather routinely see and hear interviews of Trump cultists at his rallies. Where are the interviews of the MAJORITY of pissed off decent folks who want no part of Trump's traitorous insanity? Where are the talking heads willing to call traitorous assholes "traitorous assholes"?

I still recall how disgusted I was when I first heard Rush Limbaugh crow "If you don't know what to think, listen to me---I'll tell you!"

If democracy is destroyed in America, it may have perished in a sea of bobbleheads.
