trump is just 3 weeks from becoming the first ex-president to go on trial and on prisonable offenses.

But despite all trump’s efforts to slow down simultaneously running legal clocks, there’s now a real possibility one of the candidates on the presidential ballot could be a convicted felon.

If Senate Republicans had just done their duty to convict Trump none of this would be happening and we all could have moved on. Now we are all paying for their cowardice.

@Bumbles Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didnt. There were half a dozen times Trump could have been stoppred. But it meant the Republicans risking losing power in the short term. And thats the thing with Republicans. They are brave with the lives of others. Not in personal risk.,.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Indeed…which is why, for me, his election seems inevitable. I can’t imagine it going this far and then it somehow being over. It’s been 9 years since Trump insulted McCain and Republicans let him get away with it. 8 years since Access Hollywood, etc., etc. I can’t understand how Republicans enjoy this “giving the finger” for 9 years, but their appetite is unquenchable, and we all know how tragic a second term will be. I take that back. We can’t actually imagine it.

@Bumbles There will be two shows. One playing out inside an America that still believe it can win. And the other played out on the world stage where the scavengers gather for the feast on the wounded animal. Brutal similies. But close enough,,😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The American Century beginning to be a thing of the real past. I’m a life long Dem but admired guys like George Schultz and Jim Baker. I couldn’t stand Reagan, but yeah, you get It.

@Bumbles I am not party political. I just want to see a system that works in terms of economics.The American one used to. But it sprung leaks toward the rich and they have become a torrent. Now big government and small government all get a share and a system that could stand a little "Flex" is now broken. The tipping point is past and America is now consuming itself just to pay the interest. There will be tears before this is over..😷
