Take it from us — there are too many pages to the January 6 Committee's reports, and too many testimony transcripts, and God knows way too many pages to Benedict Donald's just-released tax returns, for any of us to have a comprehensive or even comprehensible reaction to the fire hose of information contained in all of the above.
In short, news nuggets will be dribbling out in bits and pieces, and we will all gape and gasp and be disgusted, for the next several days and weeks. But, still — ! Bank accounts in Russia and China? No taxes paid at all in 2020? Never having donated his Presidential salary? Trump is more thoroughly despicable than maybe any of us have thought.
Or, maybe not.
Has anyone been more destructive to the United States than Donald Trump? We have our candidates: certainly, the Confederates who rebelled and seceded from the Union in 1861. And, of course, Nixon? However, he resigned before he could be impeached. So that just leaves Ronald Reagan as the supreme dismantler of the New Deal and the destroyer of the American middle class. After him, good God — Trump takes the prize.
Problem is, Trump would probably be thrilled to be known as the Miss America of democracy's destruction. Which means we have to haul him off to the hoosegow — make him feel pain like he's never felt, even beyond the recent New York magazine cover story, which portrays him as alone, aloof, abandoned and irrelevant.
We haven't joined the chorus berating Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice for their supposed inaction, because none of us really knows what DOJ is up to. But now we have to at least say this: General Garland, we kinda think it's time. Indictments in 2023, please. That would make us cats PURR.
