What a sad end to such a sad chapter in American history, right? Right? Or hopefully an end, or at least the indisputable beginning of an inevitable end.
Guilty on 34 counts of 34 crimes.
More deplorable yet than the criminal, in my view anyway, is the parade of Republicans who are insisting that the American justice system is fixed or corrupt. It wouldn't be so, of course, for any other criminal, but in this special case, involving Mr. Trump, it is. The entire system, from prosecutors to judges to juries, is somehow miraculously aligned against poor Mr. Trump.
Who is buying that sort of conspiracy theory tripe? Very few, one would hope. It is time for America to return to a traditional democratic system, the twin, one might say, of an orthodox religious system. We tire, I hope, of foolish heresies.
