THE FIRST WONDERFUL THING:

THE RULE OF LAW WAS EXERCISED.

TO QUOTE OUR NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING POET, BOB DYLAN:

"SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS,

DO YOU, MISTER JONES?"





THE SECOND WONDERFUL THING:

THE FEAR OF THE RULE OF LAW

WAS EXERCISED.

LOOK AT THIS PHOTO! You can see pro-Trump demonstrators in the foreground and anti-Trump demonstrators in the background. They are all PEACEFULLY exercising their First Amendment right to free speech.


Why wasn't there any violence, despite Trump's repeated calls for his MAGA minions to drag the whole country into chaos, rather than see their Fearless Leader arrested?


Because....


According to the March 6, 2023 report of the Department of Justice:

  • Approximately 420 federal defendants have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences for their criminal activity on Jan. 6. Approximately 220 have been sentenced to periods of incarceration. Approximately 100 defendants have been sentenced to a period of home detention, including approximately 15 who also were sentenced to a period of incarceration.


Two hundred and twenty people are in prison

for taking part in the January 6 insurrection.


Some believe that these people in prison are courageous martyrs.


Some believe that these people in prison are fascist thugs or the dupes of fascist thugs.


BUT, NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE, EVERYBODY AGREES THAT 220 PEOPLE ARE IN PRISON! THEY WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, FOR THEIR ACTIONS ON JANUARY 6.


Isn't that wonderful? And now, because Trumpers, fascist and otherwise, know that they will be HELD ACCOUNTABLE....

Yesterday, when Trump was actually arrested

for the first time in his long criminal life...

Nobody was willing to do anything illegal to support him!


It was clear, before the blessed Arrest Day, that, as the Associated Press put it:


"May have?" "MAY HAVE??"

The desire for repeat mass unrest was not just dampened.

IT WAS DROWNED!


I am certain that Trump believed his followers would drag the country into civil war before they would see him forced to sit at that table with his attorneys.

This is the face of a deeply disappointed man.


After everything we have been through, let us give ourselves a chance to fully savor what happened yesterday.

What happened-- Trump's arrest

AND

What DIDN'T happen -- a violent uprising by Trump's supporters.


No one is above the law. This is the way it's supposed to work in the United States. It often DOESN'T work this way, which is why this despicable man was able to rise to the pinnacle of world power. But yesterday it all worked.


Let us rejoice!

Hallelujah!



Dear Bloggellinis: Tonight I'm going to a Passover seder, the celebration of the Jews fleeing slavery under the Egyptian Pharaoh. It's always been my favorite holiday. I'm so happy that it coincides with Trump's arrest. Pharaoh has fallen! And it didn't take any miracles from God. It just took the Rule of Law being enforced. It's good to be alive. Terry
