Arraignment Day: Benedict Donald, Battered


By Hubie and Bertie

Well, kids, no gag order — yet. But from what we hear, the judge in Benedict Donald's arraignment today said he had, ahem, taken note of previous statements and social media posts about himself and Alvin Bragg that Trump has already made. In order words, Watch it, hon!

(It probably doesn't help that Trump Junior posted a photo of the judge's daughter on Truth Social today.)

And for all the bravado that Team Trump has tried to evince these last few days, the Trump we saw today looked beaten and down. (Hugely reminiscent of Helsinki in 2018.) And only his legal team and his loser political team was with him — no Moose & Squirrel, no spawn (not even Junior), nobody. Sad!

Is that because the grand jury's indictment is so broad? Thirty-four counts, including one for conspiracy, and — oh, by the way, that's conspiracy to subvert the 2016 election. By total coincidence, Hillary Clinton is being honored by The Lotos Club for her lifetime of accomplishment at a black-tie dinner not far from Trump Tower tonight.

Would we rather have had Hillary as President, even without the Trump comeuppance? Yes, because the damage he's done to the nation is ongoing and incalculable. But the juxtaposition is nice. And although we've only lived in the Empire State for a few of our nine lives, we cats are proud to be counted among the plaintiffs in The People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump. We cats PURR.
