So, former US President Donald Trump has finally been charged, with 34 counts of "falsifying business records" over his efforts to hide hush-money payoffs. Which isn't much, but its a start. And hopefully its a sign that he'll be prosecuted for his serious crimes, like trying to overturn an election by force, as well.
Meanwhile, Republicans are making outraged noises about what would happen if Democrat politicians who committed crimes were also prosecuted. What indeed? Powerful people been held to account under the law, regardless of their political affiliation or wealth! The fact that the think that this is somehow a terrible thing tells you that America is a very sick country, and has fallen a long, long way from its founding principles.
