Donald Trump has made it necessary to familiarize ourselves with the basic tenets and provisions of the Constitution, even as it remains open to interpretation.
Trump’s lawyers claim immunity for their client with regard to January 6; Jack Smith warns that if Trump can prevail with that claim, then the country will have no recourse when it comes to calling to account rogues bent on pushing boundaries and testing limits and fabricating excuses for awful behavior.
A Trump win here leaves the country in the unenviable position of suffering long-term damage at the hands of a needy attention hound who doesn’t give even one shit about America and the majority of Americans who’ve known all along that he is, indeed, an overmatched weakling.
The die will be cast, going forward, for a country with no safeguards, no actionable provisions in place to contain and stop the next (or is Trump the end of the line?) power-hungry maniac with designs on the seat of power.
Hands will be tied, and the best anyone can do will be to lament as they witness the place crumble. A fallible yet once proud nation de-clawed, with a porous backbone and a heartbreaking number of traitors calling themselves patriots.
