Lovely news!

Something to keep in mind (notes to self).

It's gratifying to see evidence that The Cheeto may be wearing orange over his skin as well as on it, but that isn't the point of all this.

The point is to observe the US American legal immune system put up a response to an infection.

Trump was an infection, and if the US system of governance cannot fight off that kind of infection, it doesn't matter if we succumb to this infection, or rally. With no response to infection, our collective future as a nation will be short and brutal.

It isn't about Trump. It's about definitively kicking an attempt at dictatorship to the curb. That it couldn't happen to a nicer guy is just a bonus.

Great post, Joseph! He's always been a potent disease vector, first to our democracy, and then literally. Your excellent metaphor extends further: serious, life-threatening infections often come with a high fever and delirium.

What a fabulous metaphor! Trump as an infection to our system and our legal system as the antibiotic. Can I use your metaphor, please, please, please?

Yes. Metaphors are not subject to copyright, nor are ideas, concepts, themes, or plots. :-)
