Think of the enormity of this news.
I fully grasp that with self-generated chaos by Donald Trump there is a a seemingly endless number of stories to read and chase down. In so doing the enormity of what is happening to the foundation of our nation is lost. What is happening is akin to missing the trees due to the forest.
We all can see what will happen in the coming days. The White House Press Secretary, with her cock-eyed glare, will try to spin this treason story away. It will be another sham from the White House podium.
The shame of where we are now as a nation will not shock or concern the base Trump supporters. It will be left to history to look back and try to gauge why roughly 35% of the nation was not concerned over a foreign power having such control over a national election and then access inside the White House.
For the majority of us, however, we feel the gravity of this moment. And it makes us nauseous.
“‘Arguably, you sold your country out’: Judge admonishes Flynn ahead of sentencing”:
“A federal judge poised to issue Michael Flynn’s sentence on Tuesday blasted the former Trump national security adviser for lying to the FBI and questioned whether special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors could have tried him for treason. …
“‘All along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser to the president of the United States,’ said U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan. ‘Arguably that undermines everything that flag over here stands for. Arguably, you sold your country out.'”
Come on Sarah, tell us what we read and hear are just all lies. Tell us Trump is just misunderstood. That law no longer matters. That the sky is down and white is now black. Tell us your soul was not sold out for what you now do.
Try to spin away the legal vise that is now tightening around the cesspool that is the Trump administration.
Try!
Just try.
Liars lie
Like my Dad used to say: “You sell your soul to the devil, all bets are off.” These people know what they’ve done, and that it’s too late now.
It was simply breath-taking today.
