Morning has broken!

    

     With the news from the Special Counsel that Trump has been indicted for his involvement in the January 6th attack on the Capitol I thought of the lyrics to an old Cat Stevens song "Morning has broken."  For those of us who have been mistified how a criminal could become the leader of one of the two major political parties and elected President because of the crazy Electoral College, yesterday felt like the morning of accountability for criminal Trump.  This process unfortunately will not be resolved quickly with the way the justice system works and we can look forward to months or years of appeals.  All of this will be also playing out in our political system over the next 16 months.  With 30-40% of the electorate in the Trump cult our future as the leader of the "free democratic world" is at risk.  This Country took 100 years to recover from the Civil War and another Trump election would put us back in that troubling period of national trauma. 

P.S.

      The reality is that half the Country supports a former President that tried to overthrow the election certification shows that we are at a point in our Country's future form that is uncertain.   The divisions between the Red and Blue states is as great as when it was Confederate and Union states.
