Everything is happening at once now
By the time today is over, it’s likely that either Donald Trump will have been removed via the 25th Amendment or Donald Trump’s second impeachment will be underway. You’re welcome to place your own odds on which one you think it’ll be. As the day goes on, even more of Trump’s top people will likely resign in protest of him.
Today will also bring us one step closer to Donald Trump being criminally charged on a federal level – which as recently as the start of this week seemed like a 50-50 proposition at best, but is now nearly a given. At this rate the DOJ and New York State may end up fighting each other to decide who gets to put Trump on trial first.
All of this happens even as President-elect Joe Biden comes another day closer to becoming President Joe Biden. He just announced his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who now becomes the person who will oversee those federal charges against Trump.
Everything is happening at once right now. It’s difficult to predict how each day will play out or what controversy we’ll face in any given hour. But here’s what we do know: on January 20th this will be over. After that we’ll still have plenty of problems, and it’ll be a new kind of normal, and we’ll have to find our footing in it. But this depraved “President Trump” era is twelve days from being behind us.
