Kagro in the Morning - August 3, 2023

Another indictment, another arraignment, another KITM, and David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are here and ready to rumble.

Here is where you come for not only the latest TFFG indictment annotated, but also for added comments, asides, and little notes scribbled in the margins. This indictment is the most important, so far.  Expect a lot of bellyaching, obfuscation, and threats from Trump, which is what you always expect from Trump. Expect the same from Republicans, unless they’re too scared to talk, or too, heh, “conscientious” and heh-heh, “forthright”, heh-heh-heh.

Some are concerned that these indictments might be great news… for Donald Trump! Consider how prison time could empower him! David Brooks cashes in his contrarian paycheck wondering if perhaps the anti-Trump elite should turn themselves in for picking on Donald so much.

Trump’s January 6 crimes are different because people felt them then and feel them now. TFFG is on his way to overtake both Richard Nixon and Benedict Arnold. Trump’s indictment leaves his alleged co-conspirators facing an incredibly easy choice… but who will go first?

This news is not great news for state Gop parties, which won’t be great news for Trump the next time he needs them.

Evel Knievel passed away a long time ago. So might a few of his fan base. But if Barbie can make a comeback...
