Recently the former President Donald J. Trump was convicted by a New York State Court on 34 counts in a trial over hush money payments. 

Good News! Bad News! Which? You choose. Or, do you? Maybe your choice was given to you. Just sayin'.

To my reading of this highly complex case, there are many issues which will come back to be reexamined on appeal. Some reliable legal experts — Alan Dershowitz, John Turley — have expressed serious concerns over claimed prosecutorial and judicial improprieties on many aspects of the case. Not the least being the whole deal is a political hit job.

Let's let the experts sort that out.

But ... I can't help but notice that with this and all the other cases filed against 45, it's not too much of a stretch to say "they're ganging up on him".

Whatever. But the justification seems to be that he's such a goddam danger to democracy and the survival of the world itself that we need to get him by any means necessary; by hook or by crook.

Problem with that, if it's true — and it sure seems like it might be — folks sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States may have subverted democracy in the name of protecting it. Prove me wrong.

What's more, that huge swaths of the electorate could be so propagandized on all things Trump that they either don't notice the possible mendacity at play, or are willing to overlook it on account of that he's such a dastardly dastard. 

Let's not even go into how the toxic political environment with such doomsday projections should either side of the aisle come to power in 2025 how it could inspire some crazy motherfucker to take matters into their own hands. Or, some crazy motherfucking deep state entity to do the same. 

Interesting times, huh?
