It’s Justice Time for Trump
My 95-year-old mother and I speak on the phone frequently, and most of these conversations, when we’ve exhausted family matters, turn to politics.
I try to tread lightly here. Mom is a Fox News acolyte (though she reads mainstream media as well), and I don’t see the point in getting into arguments.
Having said that, in the hundreds of discussions we’ve had since Trump was elected, it’s been clear that I believe Trump is a criminal and needs to be prosecuted. When I brought up the January 6th Committee’s announcement (above) last night, she laughed and said, “You really won’t be happy until Trump gets carted off in handcuffs.”
“That’s true,” I admitted, “but that’s not equivalent to saying ‘I won’t be happy until he’s sent to prison.’ If he’s acquitted of these charges, as unlikely as that seems, I’ll be OK.”
Rule of law means a great deal to every decent American. That doesn’t mean locking up people we find repugnant, but it does mean criminally charging the most powerful people in the country when warranted.
Re: the photos here, a (sarcastic) reader asks: If we all lived in mud huts for 103 years would it put the ice back?

The meme here is interesting, isn’t it?
I’ve often expressed my exasperation that no one on Earth can write political comedy that comes anywhere close to that of Andy Borowitz. Everyone knows that:

Once upon a time, there was a very good idea concerning police reform that centered around the utilization of unarmed professionals to diffuse situations involving non-violent law-breakers. Wherever it’s been implemented, it has shown remarkable results in terms of effective de-escalation and, of course, a 100% reduction in lethal force. Nobody has a gun, so nobody get’s killed.
