This whole blasted cluster, um... thing-a-majig has pretty well dashed any small belief I may have held in Karma or any other balance in the Universe, divine or otherwise.

My only remaining almost imperceptible light like that of a distant star is that ultimately the Trump cult's interference in the legal framework of the United States judicial system may in the end make the unlikely event of one of the perpetrators of this crime against all which is good and just is successfully prosecuted a little more miserable.

Their scheme to be able to excuse state crimes which are also federal crimes ignores a truth which any ex-convict will tell you, serving time in a state facility is far worse than doing so in a federal lockup. And, there are a whole lot of crimes which are tried exclusively at the state level. For instance, until recently, murder was not a federal crime. I'm sure there are many more state only crimes Trump and his clan have had an indite worthy role.

So, in the end Trump will have made it uglier for everyone as is what he does best.
