"...we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future..."

...I got up this morning and I took a look at the news and I took a look at the aerial photographs of the White House and it just hit me that in this moment, iikn this week, we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future, and a million documentary films...

The books. The movies. The historians’ perspectives on this awful time. I’m going to be 70 later this year.

I'm 65.

That aerial scene is a heartbreaking symbol of the psychopath's ruination and corruption of the fundamental moral principles embodied in the constitution and the body of law as they have evolved on the road to a more perfect union.

The destruction of the White House is certainly not our greatest problem when people are dying in concentration camps, but the scene does reflect the horrors of the felon's "era."
