"I keep thinking about the Supreme Court. Remember that these justices (including Trump’s three appointees) protected him from legal accountability for Jan. 6, blocking a trial that should have started and finished last spring. Should he win, Trump will fire Jack Smith and drop the Jan. 6 case as soon as he is inaugurated. In sum: Trump tried overturn a free and fair election by illegal and violent means, and because of John Roberts and his colleagues, not only will he never pay a price for it; he will be rewarded with another term."

↓Just a few rhetorical questions for all -- especially those who voted for Trump rule:
..We've apparently elected a convicted criminal/adjudicated sexual abuser to the U.S. presidency:
- Will basic, everyday laws 'on the books' still be enforced? Or, will those no longer 'really' matter anymore. (Or, will people need to be of only one political persuasion to get such help?)
..Hey: It generally doesn't seem to matter for at least one leading person in the U.S., who apparently has shown that he is likely above the law... E.g., in the future if I call the police about a crime (minor or major), will I get a response? An investigation?
- Will courts continue to try cases and render judgments, or does that also not 'really' matter anymore?
- Will convicted criminals continue to serve jail sentences, or doesn't that really matter anymore? (..At least in certain cases...)
P.S. One more: ...How does one explain all of this to one's children, if one is not trying to raise criminals/tyrants..?

P.P.S. (↓Link) Re Donald Trump's last couple weeks of campaigning (subscription needed) --
...What was that? That's acceptable? ..MORE than acceptable..??

(Comment:) ..It's "acceptable" almost in a similar way that America - in general - decided that gunning down elementary school kids was/is ultimately acceptable.
