Overwhelming MAGA mobs did not turn out to support Benedict Donald today, unlike on January 6. So the federal courthouse in Miami was not stormed, did not have its windows broken and offices ransacked, and nobody was beaten with a fire extinguisher, a set of crutches, or the American flag. Oh, and nobody died.
That must have disappointed Trump. He was already walking with the body language of a guilty man, and (as everyone noticed) without his loyal wife by his side. You can almost understand why Moose & Squirrel wanted no part of the Stormy Daniels arraignment in April, but you'd think she'd want to be Standing By Her Man today... right? Right?
Special counsel Jack Smith, on the other hand, whom we'd scarcely seen before last Friday, has become a new object of fascination — as strong, silent types often do, particularly when it's clear that they lift weights. (Oooh! Biceps!) Trump apparently never looked his way in the courtroom today, but Smith wasn't nearly as shy. We cats are impressed — we almost always win staring contests.
Going forward, we have little patience with any hand-wringing over Benedict Donald's freedom to travel, his lack of handcuffs and bail, and his Trump-friendly judge. Team Smith always knew "Loose Cannon" could be assigned to the case, and they knew what they could do about it — i.e., the right to immediate, expedited appeal. So let's all relax and have faith that Mr. Great Biceps knows what he's doing. Because from where we sit, he does. We cats PURR.
