Thursday Morning

Looks like Donald Trump's not getting indicted or arrested today so we'll put another hundred dollars in the jackpot and roll over the whole amount until tomorrow.

I see a lot of Republican officials arguing that the prosecution is political, that it's no big deal, that it's not brought in good faith, etc. So far, I haven't heard them say anything they probably wouldn't be saying if Trump had made good on his brag about being able to murder someone in the street and get away with it. Some of these folks used to chant "Lock him [or her] up!" about every Democratic official, even when they couldn't name any alleged crime the person had committed. There are people in this world who think that if they don't like someone, that's reason enough to throw them behind bars and throw away the key.

I saw some folks on CNN yesterday discussing whether, if/when he is arraigned, Trump will be asked to surrender his passport so he can't flee the country. I say let him keep it. If he flees the country, that might save us an awful lot of money on trials.
