Nope, Don't Care

 

Andrew Mitrovica doesn't care, and neither do we:

This fine moment. This stunning moment. This historic moment has been a long and aching time coming.

A New York grand jury made up of ordinary, wise Americans has taken the extraordinary step of voting to indict a thug president who has earned the shame and indignity that will forever shadow him.

Finally, a former United States president has been indicted. It’s the trifecta of ignominy: impeached, indicted and maybe incarcerated.  [snip]

I do not care how Donald Trump or his maniacal supporters respond to the glorious news of the grand jury’s indictment.

I do not care if dead-end cultists take up their leader’s predictable and demented call to “take to the streets” – with or without tiki torches or flag-draped monster trucks. If they do what they have been primed to do by a preening fascist, the MAGA stooges will be dealt with. They will be dealt with, just as the thousands of rampaging insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, intent on overturning a presidential election, have faced the consequences of their pernicious actions.

I do not care how Trump will leverage the indictment for his sick, political advantage today or tomorrow.

I do not care whether Trump’s support among swing, “independent” voters ticks up or not in light of the indictment.

I do not care how Trump’s blind, obnoxious sycophants in Congress will try to smear and discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and dismiss the indictment as a politically motivated “witch hunt”.

I do not care about the fretting naysayers who worry that the still mysterious charges may be difficult to prove or that Trump will emerge as a martyr – strengthened and an even more formidable political force.

I do not care...

Mitrovica goes on to tell us the many ways he celebrates the news of the Malignant Loser's (first) indictment.  It's a happy, buoyant read about a landmark time for American democracy and justice.

Pretty much how I'm feeling about this ms media/republican created gaslight. Seems to me appeasing bullies has never been a winning move. Hope Mr. Bragg has good security, Trump is a Putin asset and we know what Putin does to folks that aren't playing by his rules.
