   I really don't understand popular sentiment regarding Trump's criminality.

   It swings wildly from "there's never any consequences!!" to "Now we got him!"

   And the thing is, neither is true. There are lots of consequences. But there's no consequence that either rids us of him nor prevents him from being President.

   We have always had to win at the ballot box. And it's been clear since at least October of 2016 that there will always be a large enough segment of people who follow him that he will not go away along as he's alive.

     @kingrat Nor will his minions. He pretty much has to die of natural causes at this point.

     I don't have the same high & low reactions that other people have. Like, I'm only rarely excited or angry. I exist in a fluctuating state of "that's nice" to "i'm somewhat irritated".
