    I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won’t. We have decades of this to look forward to. It’s a step in the right direction at least…

      I am going to disagree with you here. This is a long process. This teachers our kids about consequence. There is a lot more gears spinning than just punishing the big Cheeto.

      The consequences of national polarization may, in the long term, make Trump’s actions look small.

      This arrest certainly pushes us closer to the edge. Whether that will lead us back to normalcy or over and down is yet to be seen.
