Diary 110

Monday, July 6th

One of the things that brings me a sense of hope is that, even with a ‘president’ who is manifestly corrupt, plenty of things are being brought up before the institution of the Law. So Ghislane Maxwell has been arrested and charged; the memoirs written by Mary Trump and Melania’s aide are due to appear, despite threats to silence them, and will reveal whatever it is they will reveal. Bolton’s book has been leaked, the Putin payments of bounties on US soldiers unchallenged by the ‘commander in chief’, have been made public.  And so on.

The pushback has begun to gather steam.

Of course, dedicated followers of this ‘president’ will not be persuaded to think again. But even some of them are starting to have doubts. Republican Senators are muttering about how their leader must be stopped.  What took you so long, guys? Really, didn’t you notice something before now? Or are the rats doing what they always do to sinking vessels?
