That's fucking terrifying

Terrifying and accurate.
I don't know nearly enough to determine if I should be excited, but I feel like we need to start walking up a lot of sleeping people. (It sounds like) it's finally happening!
When it comes to the election it is not a slam dunk, unfortunately. When it comes to sending him to prison where he belongs, not a slam dunk there, either. However, it's still a major victory for decent people everywhere, and should be celebrated. It certainly doesn't help the POS or his campaign.
Seems like something would happen but I'm currently jaded from all the shit he constantly gets away with. This verdict won't change the minds of any of his voters. If it would, they would have stopped supporting him when he stole money from a cancer charity.
I was just talking to a friend, and I also used "jaded". It's the perfect word to describe my feelings. In any other timeline I'd allow myself slightly more hopefulness.
