Yup. I've always thought that Trumpism is a refuge for any pig who has been criminally charged or sued for harrassment, divorced, dragged into Human Resources for his behavior, reprimanded at any level for being dirtbag. Trump is their validation. He absolves them of responsibility.

No proof doesn't mean no evidence. The "op" in op-ed means "opinion" and it is not unreasonable to opine that the violence on 1/6 caused the death of one or more officers.

I'm going to say that 38-41% of voters are perfectly OK with Trump running again. And I really hope he tries. The Republican primaries will be chaos as law suits make their way through the courts, and Trump systematically attacks any Republican who tries to take his throne. It'll be spectacular.
