On Thursday, March 30, 2023, there was some kind of news. Give me a second to check my archives—yesterday was such a long time ago it seems. Oh yes, twice-impeached former president of the United States, Donald Trump, was indicted on charges related to the hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels.
It has been less than 24 hours since the news broke, and a clear demarcation between those who believe in allowing our justice system to work to stymie corruption and those who do not believe in trying to stymie corruption has appeared. On one side are most people, and on the other are Republican leadership and their shills. New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been forced to send a letter to Republican leadership, once again reminding them what law is and is not.
Predictably, most of the country received the news of Trump’s indictment as something more of a fait accompli, having watched him thwart the law nationally for about eight years now (and in the Tri-State area for about 50 years). Some of the reactions have been pretty entertaining, though.

If you want to pretend the rot hasn’t thoroughly permeated the entire Republican Party…
And the reminder.
This is a touch off-topic, but I like my conservative Christian hypocrisy with coffee in the morning.
If you want to know what verse that is referring to, you can bop on over to read the short section here, and now a quick reminder of what living your life above the law looks like.
