Step right up. It all went according to plan. What is so amazing is the amount of coordination and planning that goes into creating a crooked president. And all of it happening right before our eyes. Nixon actually declared, “I am not a crook” while Trump merely snickers. As we heard on the Senate floor, they all know he committed high crimes, we just think impeachment too harsh.

It becomes maddeningly clear that right does no longer matters as long as it runs counter to the prevailing political wind. And right now, that wind has a decidedly wretched stench. Trump supporters have to explain how destroying democracy is a good thing. Trump supporters have to explain how we turned the corner to drive toward a dictator driven, money centric, misogynistic, barefoot and pregnant society. And then they must explain how that is better. There are many inequities already in place that cause misery. Trump would add many more.

If he wins a second term, imagine the damage to the country, to the planet, to space because his new Space Force surely has many facets and plans to which we are not privy. Mars looking pretty good. Expect a Trump tower. But beyond that, how long could he conceivably remain in office. Now that we’re down the rabbit hole, who knows. My guess is he will try to change the constitution, again, to allow himself permanent residency. And then upon his passing, cede the crown to his eldest son. Who’s going to stop him? Our best and last chance was to remove him by convicting him in the Senate of high crimes…impeachment. That’s it. Game over.
