I'm enjoying today just too much. This is like one of those movies where the villain keeps killing people and getting away and then after about 2.5 hours he or she meets their violent (and sometimes overly lengthy), torturous end. It's so cathartic. And this show has just begun. This indictment is small potatoes. I'll be very surprised if there's any actual prison time. Not that it's not deserved. But he IS a former president. But the stuff that Jack Smith is working on - sedition, obstruction, etc - SMH, that's some deadly serious shit and I can see him being locked up until he dies or fakes some illness.

I really admire, in a somewhat twisted way, the loyalty of so many of Trump's supporters. You have people on Social Security sending every dollar they can when, at least in theory, he's a billionaire. I really don't get it. I think our culture encourages that sort of unquestioned loyalty and I definitely see a sort of "honor" in that, but what if it's misplaced? And how would you know if you basically live in a manufactured echo chamber.

A very long time ago I was part of an evangelical Xtian group. In many ways it was beautiful. You feel completely different when you're with people who understand what you do; believe what you do. But the time came when many of the beliefs just challenged my rationality and I had to choose. It really sucked too because the head cheerleader was in the group and sort of into me. She ended up marrying some dufus. C'est la morte.

Watching Miss Lindsey almost come to tears begging for money for Trump yesterday was priceless.
