"Profoundly sad?" Ummm....I'm elated.

[Peregrine Took]

Ever present on MSNBC, Ex Republican Michael Steele made that comment today.

1. Regarding what?

[Tetrachloride]

2. Can he bring himself to say "guilty" in a forthright manner? Probably not

[Happy Hoosier]

7. Steele has been pretty harsh on TFG

I disagree with him on some issues, but he's never really held back on Trump.

[Ocelot II]

3. It's sad in the abstract that any former president turned out to be a one-man crime wave

because some significant number of people were duped into voting for him in the first place, but seeing TFG get his ugly orange ass repeatedly indicted doesn't make me even slightly sad.

4. Bush/Cheney lying us into a unprovoked war is sad..

Trump separating families/caging babies/the Muslim ban/“shit hole countries”/“good people on both sides" (Charlottesville)/romancing despots/insulting our allies/dissing NATO/portraying asylum seekers as animals, rapists, killers, predators/the wall/spewing racist and antisemitic tropes/weaponizing the DOJ to punish his enemies and reward his friends/nepotism on a grand scale/ignoring a global pandemic/sidelining career doctors, scientists, epidemiologist in favor of quacks and shamans/disappearing 300,000 covid deaths/enriching his bottom line/entertaining Russian dignitaries with top secret logistics/stealing classified documents/surrounding himself with thugs/31,000 documented lies/packing the courts with ultra extremist nobodies/plotting a coup/inciting an insurrection/dining with Nazis/sexual assault…devastating...

Trump indicted for doing his damndest to overthrow the government of the United States?..dancing in the street!!

[Solly Mack]

5. I think it's sad when a criminal president isn't held accountable.

[stopdiggin]

6. Yes. A truly sad day for the country

Something people were verbalizing with some regularity in the beginning.

Our country, and every citizen past and present - is diminished.

8. What was profoundly sad was Nixon being pardoned leading to more lawlessness

This is nothing more than an extension of that lawlessness. It's profoundly sad this idiot was elected. It's profoundly sad no one said a word while he worked at destroying this country. It's profoundly sad so many elected officials chose to try to overturn the election. It's profoundly sad.

But convicting tRump and him going to prison? That is the most joyful thing, and one I hope we all get to experience.

9. Most of us here have been sad - profoundly sad - since 2016

Michael Steele is a little late to the party, I'd say.
