Indicted. Again. And Again.

August 1, 2023 (Vol. 17 No. 31) - It's becoming a familiar scene - the Defeated President of the United States being hauled into court for a litany of crimes he has allegedly committed since being run out of office by 81 million Americans. First, he was charged with fraud in a New York State case. (Above - Trump at his first arraignment.) Then, a federal court in Florida indicted the Feckless Leader for possession and reckless mishandling of highly classified material. And now, a third indictment coming out of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's investigation into the Trump-provoked January 6th Insurrection. He is charged with four counts, including conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding - in this case, the official counting of the Electoral Votes and the formal election of Joe Biden as president. Just last week, Smith's grand jury added three more counts against the former commander-in-cheat, including a particularly damning count involving the destruction of evidence. That brings the total number of criminal counts against former President Bone Spur to 78 - and his problems do not end here. Within a few days or weeks, he may face indictment in Georgia for corruptly trying to overturn the 2020 election. And yet, he is still the favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination. The Republican field is weak and the party faithful are more interested in winning than they are in American and democratic values. (It appears as if the moral compass of most Republican voters is spinning.) More frightening: A New York Times poll this week morning shows Trump in a virtual tie with President Biden. In what world can this pathetic frat boy even carry Joe Biden's water? Make no mistake about it: American Democracy - and the very nation, itself - are still in peril. The sooner we dispose of these legal cases - and this wannabe dictator and his sick band of sycophants - the better. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle.
