Trump is not the scary part.

Trump is not the scary part. I have faith in the electorate. I think he's toast. You can ascribe it to whatever you'd like but I'm pretty sure he's gone. If nothing else he will leave this earthly plane soon enough having made his mark as the epitome of political disaster. 

What is scary is that the good people that I know - the Law and Order folks, the folks that have been engaging in all sorts of fanciful beefs: how the justice department was being "weaponized" by Obama, who wanted to try Nancy Pelosi for "treason" or Hillary Clinton for how she handled Benghazi, Biden for graft, where countless Congressional hearings and internal investigations about any number of supposed transgressions... 

I could go on...but basically the folks that want to tear things down because they have all sorts of political and cultural grievances are now, presumption of innocence fully engaged,  standards of proof somehow much more stringent, willing to turn a blind eye to what this maniac has truly been doing (and has been promising to do). He is to them, somehow, the victim.

We've watched him misbehave, now in HD in a court of law. What he is doing is more of the same. It's what he did with the election results. He sets up chaos for his shenanigans by claiming everything is rigged. He is a man-child and the folks that keep being his willing accomplices are like the kids who are in the back seat looking out the side windows while daddy caroms down the highway recklessly.

Run Rabbit Run

On a scale of 10, I would give the Democrats a four and a five for two stunts they pulled this week: bringing Robert De Niro to the New York trial; and getting their panties in a twist over a 3-year-old flag incident at a Supreme Court Justice's home. 
The first fell flat, chiefly because it was cheap theatrics and, well, embarrassing. It looked like imitation Trump. (You know the old saying about imitation being flattery.)
As for the flag, that dog not only didn't hunt, it was Dead on Arrival. You guys don't have enough good will to spend it frivolously. And, certainly, when you realize that it's a dead dog, quit beating it, it's not coming back to life. Cut your losses. Run.
