There can be no doubt that Donald Trump has returned — once more! — to the forefront of our political stage.<\/p>\n

I wish it weren’t so. My wishing, though, simply cannot deny the obvious.<\/p>\n

The U.S. House 1\/6 select committee has convened public hearings on national TV. We’ll get Episode Two tomorrow morning. Who’s at the top of our attention span? The Donald! Of course he is!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The House panel appears to be building a case for indicting Trump for inciting the insurrection of 1\/6. Members of the committee have yapped about the panel having enough evidence to recommend an indictment; I hope that speculation will cease. It’s not productive.<\/p>\n

I guess Trump must like being the focus of our attention. It’s his modus operandi, or so I’ve been led to believe. He is, after all, a supreme narcissist, which by definition means he relishes this attention.<\/p>\n

Whatever.<\/p>\n

For as long as the winds keep drafting over Trump, I’ll be forced to comment on occasion on issues that develop regarding this carnival barker. I pledge to look the other way when he blathers some nonsense. As it relates to the committee and its findings, I intend to offer my views — for whatever they’re worth — on what they mean to the future of our democratic process.<\/p>\n

Still, if only Trump would just disappear.<\/p>\n
