How very sad.

What a great gift we could do the world by impeaching and convicting Trump, and others in his cabal for insider trading.

I always told my wife, "mark my words. Trump will end up going down as the most reviled figure in American history."

I believe that will come to pass. Joe McCarthy is doing the happy dance.

US currency will have Trumpf's name on it and US passports will bear his horrible visage.

Fortunately, I've read that's only going to happen in the D.C. area. I wouldn't carry a passport with his image on it. Immediate cause for immigration agents in other countries to act adversely towards anyone with Trump on their passport.

Worse, tens of thousands of people will have needlessly died because USAID was dismantled and the BBB's pauperization of our social safety nets.

As you know, "soft power" has been America's strength, even after 9/11 as U.S. Marines and others went into villages in North Africa and elsewhere to help by doing everything from drilling wells to fitting people with glasses, some for the first time in their lives. We've lost our greatest tool.

And the next non-Republican administration will have less money to work with and even less public lands or natural resources.

America seems in the mood for massive tax increases on the 1%. Especially since almost everyone now knows megalomaniacs like Musk and Trump and Bezos have gotten away with paying practically $0.
