Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we could conduct a presidential election in which one of the major-party candidates is under criminal indictment.<\/p>\n

What’s more, never would I have imagined that the four-times indicted, twice-impeached former POTUS would actually — in the gullible “minds” of followers — be considered a viable candidate to return to the office he once held and disgraced.<\/p>\n

To say we live in the craziest era imaginable is to commit a gross (and grotesque) understatement.<\/p>\n

Yet here we are.<\/p>\n

The Republican Party’s presumed frontrunner for the 2024 presidential nomination may actually run for the White House while awaiting a sentence after being convicted of trying to overturn the previous election. The conviction might come early in 2024 if prosecutors are able to stave off Donald Trump’s expected efforts to delay the proceeding until after the election.<\/p>\n

The feds have indicted Trump on two matters: inciting the 1\/6 assault on our government and squirreling away classified documents after leaving the White House. State grand juries have indicted Trump on making an illegal payment to a porn star to keep her quiet about a tryst she said the two of them had and for working to interfere in the Georgia presidential election returns.<\/p>\n

He stands accused of committing 91 crimes. Ninety-one of them!<\/em><\/p>\n

Just think of how stupid the Republican Party faithful can be if they actually nominate this individual next summer.<\/p>\n

OK. I have said all that but now I must stand behind my initial reaction to Trump’s latest presidential candidacy. I am going to remain hopeful that the GOP will come to what’s left of its senses and turn to someone else. I say that even though it is less than my initial belief that Trump in no way would ever be nominated. I am not as confident these days in the smarts of the GOP MAGA electorate.<\/p>\n

Still, to see this unfit liar in position to lead the party down the path of destruction in 2024 is something I never imagined seeing.<\/p>\n

Who knew?<\/p>\n\n
