Boss Trump facing the music

Ex-President Trump has never looked more like a sullen mob boss than he did this afternoon, as he pussyfooted his way into the courtroom, surrounded by lawyers, guns and what protection money will buy. 

There he was at the appointed time, complying with what he had been ordered to do by a New York judge. The powerlessness and disappointment Boss Trump was feeling was etched on his face: where was the riotous MAGA crowd gumming up the works and scaring the hell out of his enemies? 

For the first time in his career of getting over on the suckers who trusted him, Donald J. Turpitude is facing the music. With his history, no doubt, being in Manhattan for this first bitter dose of justice was a return to the setting for many of his crimes down through the years.      

Yes, it looks like Trump is taking the fall. And, it's happening in torturous slow motion to the most deserving guy in the USA. The smartest rats are preparing their exit from sinking ship as you read this.
