Thanks for the feedback, John. Fortunately, it's not my assessment that he's a felon. That was adjudicated in the American judicial system. So it really doesn't matter what we think it should be; It's adjudicated fact.

Also don't forget the sexual assaults against E. Jean Carroll. Not sure if those were felonies or whatever but again, they were legally adjudicated, just as his defamation trials were.

And yes, he's likely to be guilty of countless others and we can only hope that he will be tried for these. Because while Teflon might stop things from sticking, when it starts to peel it can be deadly.

Very powerful, Kevin. For me, the only (very slightly) discordant note was "Melon Felon". I've no trace of doubt that the guy has committed felonies beyond counting, but those of which he was actually convicted strike me as bullshit. (People are forever vituperating about his 34 felonies, but they look to me like one misdemeanor, repeated several times.) People are exulting about his approval rating being in the low 40s, but I see nothing reassuring in four of every 10 Americans believing this stupid, incompetent, infantile, delusional, corrupt, hateful, petulant, vulgar, treacherous, soulless fascist, this fecal stain on American history, to be doing a swell job. I might be able to live with four in 10,000.
