A Night at The Opera

Not A Thousand Words, But Worth It   

April 13, 2024

Regardless of your political leanings and/or obsessings all of America finds itself (theoretically) on the eve of a historic event – the fist time in our nation’s history that a former president (however undeserving, incompetent or overtly criminal) will be sitting in the defendant’s chair in a criminal courtroom. This of course is not to say that there were no other former presidents deserving of this dubious honor, but we cannot yet fix the past, so here we are.

All kinds of people will be singing like birds as Damaged Don Trump begins his very first criminal trial on Monday. And it’s about damn time. As soon as the supporting cast and their understudies – aka The Jury – are selected, the Trial of The Century – The People v. Donald Trump – will begin in earnest.

While Donald doesn’t actually sing (even his speaking voice makes most people long for the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard (look it up kids), and what he thinks is dancing makes Elaine Benes look like Ginger Rogers (look her up kids), he sure won’t STFU.

It seems certain that the curtain will open on Monday – Tax Day. How apt that perpetual tax cheat Donald Trump should end up on the wrong side of a criminal proceeding on Tax Day.

This of course presumes that the Supreme Court does not, on Monday morning, make it illegal to interfere with the unending life of crime that is Donald Trump’s raison d'être. Or, unless Trump makes a “run” for it à la O.J. Simpson (now deceased) and his infamous, tragicomic slo mo Bronco chase scene – like that from The French Connection, on heroin.

Trump makes a run for it in the only vehicle he is capable of piloting

Speaking of O.J. Simpson (still deceased), you may recall his double murder trial was the previous century’s trial-of-the-century. Though Trump’s is not technically described as a murder trial, the long-awaited, much-craved legal reckoning for his attempt to take the life of American Democracy is finally coming to a courtroom near you (if you live near New York).

Trump’s tiny hands will fit into any gloves, but since he is a piece of shit, you must not acquit.
