To avoid future threats to our democracy, we should develop something like an earthquake early warning system. Donald Trump could serve as our model.

This play on an old cliché says it all about Donald Trump’s likely future. Here is just a peek at the legal mine-field and other sand traps that lie ahead for him.

Donald Trump has taught us an all-important civics lesson.
Shame on us if we forget it and don’t act to prevent an encore.

For the past year, Donald Trump, Rudi Giuliani, and a number of other Republican operatives have been spreading the canard that the Bidens represent a criminal enterprise. Seriously!
It’s time to pin the tail on the right donkey. In fact, it’s an elephant!

It’s especially egregious (and punishable) when the perpetrator is the President of the United States. He has betrayed his oath, his country, and the generations that have built it.

It has to do with how the citizens view themselves, and their society, and how they relate to their government – and vice versa. It is a shared state of mind.

Not since the Watergate tapes has there been such a trove of direct evidence about a President’s private conduct. It could well be that Trump is a puppet of Putin. Or maybe not.
Either way, the Putin tapes will be historic, if they survive.

The first five million years of our evolution went very well, overall.
The next 980 years could be a problem.

A morality play that’s especially relevant for this dark time in our history.

Shakespeare nailed it in Julius Caesar: “The fault, dear Brutus,
is not in our stars, but in ourselves…” Enter Donald Trump, stage right.
