9. You're right: Trump is still getting away with being a career criminal

And it's sickening.

My wife, son, and I participated in an anti-Trump rally on President's Day in Chicago in 2017 when the orange one had been in office about a month. "Not my president" was a popular sign that day, along with "Hands off my body" and countless others. Anyone paying any attention at all has known exactly who Trump is all along. Those people in Chicago that day knew, as did those in similar protests around the country. And yet here we are again . . .

CBS "Sunday Morning" interviewed the son of former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the guy who let the Chicago Police beat the hell out of anti-war protesters at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. If you're too young to know about it, or if you've managed to forget, review the video. It was an international disgrace. But then the Daley family is one of the most corrupt Democrat families in the country. And the interview showed it. What a complete dolt.

Anyway, I hope Chicago can redeem itself this time, and I hope I never see another Chicago Daley anywhere near a DNC.
