Thanks Diane. NBC's The Apprentice made him. He represents much of American national characteristics. Greed, b...sh.t, boasting, bullying and poor vocabulary, a conman. Did nothing to stop the spread of covid and reform the lack of gun control. Let his older sister Maryanne Barry have the last word: “All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Barry said in a conversation secretly recorded by her niece, Mary L. Trump. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”

Excellent newsletter Diane. Peggy Noonan summed up things nicely. If there is a dilemma over an indictment maybe they could arrive at a compromise and say ‘Trump, we won’t indict you but we will exile you to the American equivalent of the closed city of Gorky’. ‘There, you will dwell for 3 years until you are 79 years old. You will be banned from running for any political office’.

I write that in jest but really exile isn’t a bad punishment for Trump’s crimes. Bottom line, most Americans want him out of politics for good.

You tell me what that American closed city might be. I, farcically, suggest Erie, Pennsylvania.

We get it...you hate Trump but the fact of the matter is that Trump asked Pelosi to have the National Guard on hand for the huge crowd, just in case. Pelosi refused. It is also proven that Democrat Antifa /BLM operatives worked with the govt and the media to instigate violence and blame this all on the Republicans. One literally pushed that poor lady veteran to her death. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/update-blm-antifa-organizer-john-sullivan-arrested-storming-us-capitol-bashing-windows-writing-book-paid-video-trump-supporters-rot-jail/

As an objective Canadian I can only say - hanging an accused without representation is not even slightly fair. The Dem / quasi Repubs sponsored arguments are full of holes a good defense counsel would blow apart.
