@Brandi_Buchman You’re quote is from a book about a conspiracy that involved Lee Harvey Oswald (which I’m sure you know!) who is part of one that broke the spirit of the country and fueled distrust in the government. And what we are experiencing today is a second, even more dangerous one. From Murder Most Foul by Bob Dylan. “I said the soul of a nation been torn away
And it's beginning to go into a slow decay
And that it's thirty-six hours past Judgment Day”

In a double serving of what could arguably be described as doses of one’s own medicine, special counsel Jack Smith plucked apart Donald Trump‘s latest efforts to throw out criminal conspiracy charges against him in Washington, D.C., by citing two arguments the former president would seem hard pressed to deny — one from the U.S. Supreme Court justice he appointed, Brett Kavanaugh, and the other from Trump’s own mouth when he was impeached for the second time.
