Take Heart friends and keep your chins up

[Mr.WeRP]

Whenever things got dark in my life, my mom used to say, “Honey, when things get this way, take heart, and keep your chin up.” She passed away in 2017, and part of me is glad she didn’t have to see the worst of what is happening today. But her words stick with me to this day, and I use them when my kids face tough times.

I think many here could benefit from her words today. And I really do feel hopeful for this year. Just today, we got the news that Trump is going to be held accountable starting April 15th for crimes he committed during the 2016 election. It is the first crimes he was charged with, so it is somewhat poetic that it is the first to go. And the Judge in this case ain’t having any of Trump’s b.s. tactics.

If you follow Meidas Touch, you may note that this trial is pretty open-and-shut. The Judge has denied all the b.s. motions from the defense, including the slimy scheme to try to use the Advice of Counsel defense without paying the price that comes with it. Trump is left with no defense on a pretty heavy evidentiary based case that requires no state of mind and has all the facts and witnesses stacked against him. I do believe that Trump will be convicted before the convention and the RNC will have to figure out if they want to have a candidate who is convicted and who will likely be behind bars, or run a different candidate. Either way, they will most likely lose this election, barring unforeseen events.

And the disappointing news today, the reduced bond, still holds Trump accountable to the tune of 175 million. He still needs to pay up and only has 10 days to do it. It is an indicator that the appellate justices likely would have reduced the amount anyway. And even though Trump gets less bond to post, it ain’t over, and that’s money he can’t use for other purposes. I will say I am disappointed too, but only because I savored to see Trump embarrassed by the seizure of assets. But justice isn’t about that.

I won’t deny things are a bit darker today, but I will say this to you here: take heart, and keep your chins up. There is a long way to go, and we need each other to get there.
