Lock Him Up!

Guess it wasn’t a hoax.

I’ve been following along, and to be perfectly honest, the only thing that would surprise me, at this point, is if Trump isn’t charged.

Sorry if you fell for it, but he’s been a thug for a long, long time.

He lies without ever feeling bad about it, and in the end, he will find out that all the people he was conspiring with are going to line up to tell on him.

John Flynn did the flip thing on Friday.

Think back to the campaign trail.

Flynn and Trump, arm-in-arm, chanting lock her up...

...as they were conspiring with a foreign country to rob our democracy of a free election.

Scary stuff.

When they were chanting, “Lock her up,” I recall thinking that it was an awful thing to be doing. The whole presidential race aside, it was a horrible thing to do during any election.

We were headed that way.

Elections have been getting progressively nastier through the years. The civil discord that we see in our society has been a direct result of how vile the elections were becoming.

For fun, just go back and look at Reagan and George H.W. Bush having a debate and speaking about immigration.

They were rivals.

They both wanted to be president. There was no love lost...but they were civil to one another. They didn’t come up with nicknames for each other. They didn’t make threats to put each other in prison, or ask their base to use their second amendment rights on their opponent.

So, Flynn is going to sing like a canary.

And it will most likely get worse before it gets better.

Can the nation survive this?

I don’t know.

I really don’t.

Will those who voted for Trump swallow hard and move to the right side of things if Mueller proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Donald and his band of dopes took Putin’s bait and sold out the democracy to gain power?

That’s the question that needs to be answered.

If this administration is guilty (and it appears that way) will we respond as we should?

Will his base abandon their support, or will they dig in and fight for him?

I’d like to be optimistic...

...but shortly after Flynn pleaded guilty....

...the White House dug in, saying that Flynn was operating on his own, and that he got his clearance under Obama (Before he left, Obama explicitly told Trump that Flynn was compromised. Trump denied it and appointed him NSA).

Then Kushner was implicated.

How will Donald deny his Son-in-Law?

Or Junior?

This is an absolute mess, people, and I don’t know about you, but I’m a little scared.

Now...

...lock him up.
