I see the news, and I keep wondering when some things are going to happen. I still want to see Trump prosecuted for felony campaign finance violations from 2016 for which his co-conspirator was convicted. I want to see a criminal investigation into felony campaign finance violations in connection with Trump's infamous phone call with the president of the Ukraine, plus maybe investigation into bribery and conspiracy to commit there crimes. I would also think it was a criminal offense for a president to use his position to commit crimes for personal campaign benefits, though I'm not sure I can name the crime in accurate terms. And obstruction of justice.
There seems to be progress in the fraud investigations in New York. I'd like to see that continue.
I'd like to see some progress in criminal investigations into interfering in the Georgia election and vote counting.
I think a case can be made about inciting insurrection from the 6 January assault on the Capitol. I hope the House committee investigating that event continues. A lot of insurrectionists have been charged and convicted, but there are still questions to ask. I would not balk at expulsion of every member of the House who voted against certification of the election on the grounds that such a move is supporting the cause of the insurrectionists and violates the oath they all took to defend the Constitution, but I don't think that will actually happen. Our system of justice is not that robust.
I have seen enough reports and opinions about the state of American democracy to make me afraid that we might be in real danger of losing our democracy, and I don't want to have to deal with what these dimwits responsible try to replace it with. But since they don't acknowledge facts, I don't know how to work against them. Except to pursue criminal charges against Trump and his ilk wherever possible.
