Popping on while eating breakfast, sans glasses (so please excuse any typos!), just before getting dressed to leave for work. I just have to shout, and YES: gleefully:
HAPPY INDICTMENT DAY, AMERICA!
It's a beautiful day, a good day, for our country when we uphold and affirm what truly makes us great: that, when we are doing it (our constitution) right, we are all equal under the law. We all should have equal rights. We all should have due process. And no person--including the President of the United States--is above the law.
Finally, 45 is facing consequences for his law-breaking actions. Today's indictment is just going to cover a tiny fraction of all the laws he has broken. He has also violated our constitution, broken international laws governing Crimes Against Humanity, and committed treason. Today doesn't make him, finally, have to face any consequences for all of those actions. But today, finally, makes him have to face consequences for some of his actions.
45 has never had to face consequences before. His followers love that he is a bully and he gets away with things. They think it makes him macho and tough. When they see that 45 is going to have to face consequences for his actions, it may also make them a tad quieter, at least for a while, and it may start to show them that their Emperor has no clothes. They stuck with him and liked him even more, the more xenophobic and hateful and violence-inciting, and law-breaking, he was/is. All of that only made them like him more. But seeing him, FINALLY, facing consequences for any of it? Seeing him maybe sent into a time out by the adults in the room? They won't like that. But just like children who act out and have tantrums and need to be shown LIMITS, it is the healthiest thing for them. And for our country.
So I say again:
HAPPY INDICTMENT DAY!
