A rubicon has been crossed. A former president of the United States has been accused of committing a felony, and will be arrested and tried in New York City.
What comes next will be a new epoch in a winding travesty that has stretched from 2015 to 2023, and has become the greatest singular threat to America’s peace, prosperity and domestic tranquility.

While folks are popping corks and clinking glasses, let's take a second and appreciate the full weight of thia moment. What a sad commentary on this country.
On the other hand, here's to the resolute and courageous persons within our justice sysem: accountability is critical to our survival as a nation.
So, here's to We The People; may we endure!!!
