ONE of the unforgivable things I remember about Trump is that during the pandemic he was more interested in his reelection than helping Americans not die from a virus that was killing people daily.
CBS is reporting that Jack Smiths has built a sprawling case.
"He has memos and diary entries from key witnesses, like former Vice President Mike Pence, key eyewitness testimony from people who are inside the Oval Office with Trump."
They say the evidence is so deep that even the Supreme Court till have a tough time providing immunity and they might vote 9-0 against it.

I was 12 yrs old when my mother lost the ability to parent me safely.
I was taken from her & put into a huge, scary children's shelter. It took a long time but they finally found someone who would take in a deeply troubled, rather wild child like me.
Mama Essie was a black woman & I had a black foster sister, too. A second one came later. She had three of us little hooligans.
And oh what a hooligan I was! I wasn't all that nice to her. I stole from her. I ran up her phone bill calling my boyfriend. When she put a lock on the dial-up phone, I broke it. I was a mess & a handful. I eventually ran away & was put back in the shelter & never saw her again. I'm sure I broke her heart.
And...
The foundation of EVERYTHING I know about grace, abt dignity, abt fashion, makeup, hair care (I still use a pick), elegance, excellence, self-care, patience, love, goodness, generocity & fierceness in the face of pain came from my Mama Essie.
She was one of the highest ranking civilians in the military in the US, female & black no less! In the 80s! She had severe eye issues, maybe even a glass eye. She SINGLE PARENTED three hurting foster TEENS. She owned her own house.
In the 80s she took in a wild, ignorant WHITE child. Y'all, it wasn't the done thing in that area.
Talk about badass!!!!
Whatever good there is abt who I am, where I am, how I am it is due to the foundation she laid. She showed me kindness, wasn't bowled over by my sass & taught me things my own mom never did/could.
I don't know why she came to mind today but the tears are rolling, the heart is welling & I so want to honor her today with this little public rememberence. I tried to find her & haven't yet.
Mama Essie, if you're still with us or peering through the windows of heaven...thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I heard you. I saw you. You made a difference, more than you'll ever know.
