This indictment -- and all the potential indictments, even the classified papers stuff -- are about Trump in various ways subverting free and fair elections. People like their elections ...it never hurts to remind folks Trump doesn't want them to have them.

Indeed, "all Republicans are MAGA Republicans" needs to be said. For readers here... I discovered that Rachel Maddow was on Friday night. She was subbing for Alex Wagner. (I listen via podcast) Half the show is about the Agnew prosecution and the reality that a sitting Vice-President might have been indicted but for the plea deal he made. (I barely remember this.) So she's saying, "This HAS been done before." Worth knowing.

Surprising to me the vehemence with which GOPers have both defended Donald Trump and attacked the judicial system. I would have expected something a little different from the candidates/near candidates, but they are completely under the spell of the MAGA base, and broadly incapable of nuance. DeSantis a:) still not ready for prime time in offering to defy extradition for Trump when Trump is negotiating his surrender, and b:) defying Article 4 of the U. S. Constitution. I just don't see any of these MAGA lite morons taking the nomination.

By the time the third or fourth indictment is issued, I'm not sure what any of these grifters could possibly think of to say.

Perhaps they should all start offering their stock ‘thoughts and prayers’.
