Trump indicted

And so it begins. I'm glad to see that our basic maxim, that no one in the US is above the law, has won out over Trump's effort to undermine and intimidate our legal system.

Trump will be treated better than most people who are arrested, but he will still have to get fingerprinted, photographed, and come before a judge. Will there be violent protests?

This is just the beginning. There is still the Georgia election tampering case, the Jack Smith federal cases of classified documents and the Capitol insurrection, and there are E. Jean Carroll's defamation and rape cases.

Trump has tried his best to overturn our democracy and make himself our absolute ruler, but as Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, "in America, law is king".
