It’s Good that Trump Is Still Alive
The rhetorical question here is one that millions of Americans ask themselves on a regular basis. Yes, Trump is a force for evil, so it’s only natural that good people would like to see him removed from the surface of the planet.
But compare the value of that to this chain of events:
Trump is fully exposed for what he is: a lying criminal conman.
He’s immediately and permanently expelled from the U.S. political scene.
He’s indicted on charges of election tampering, incitement to violence, perhaps even treason.
The legal proceedings drag on, but the entire world now has proof of what they suspected all along.
The majority of his erstwhile supporters realize and are forced to admit, if only to themselves, that they’ve been conned.
The U.S. has cured itself of a disease that at one point looked as though it might have been terminal. It’s as if a huge cancer tumor has miraculously been surgically removed from the middle of our nation’s chest.

I had many personal assistants through the decades, but my favorite one called me, in tears, one morning at home shortly before I left for the office. Through her spasmodic whimpering she explained that a pet, a rabbit of all things, had died and that she couldn’t muster herself to come into work.
Considering the events of the past two years, few of us have high hopes for 2022.
My wife just asked me, “Why isn’t the justice department moving against these brazen criminals who are defying congressional subpoenas?” to which I replied, “I have no more insight into this than you or the other +/- hundred million Americans who are asking that very question.”
