Hi Janet. I share your feeling of (mild to moderate) hopelessness and (mild) despair.

However I believe our feelings are misleading. My mind and my gut tell me that Felon45 will make it to prison in our lifetime. The sheer volume of serious, serious crimes and investigations into those crimes tells us that he cannot escape justice indefinitely. The breadth and depth of legal and criminal exposure is breathtaking. Something tells me Trump might even go the way of Cosby and Weinstein, or Al Capone (tax evasion, in DT's case the Trump Organization's financial sleaze). When we're focusing on just one side of the story, something else can blindside us that we weren't expecting or that we had temporarily forgotten about. So while paying attention to Raffensperger's audio recording (Fulton County DA) or January 6 or election finance crime à la hush money payments (SDNY), maybe something else pops out.

If you need something to boost your spirits, watch this again:
