As the pathetically sycophantic Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, vaguely declared that the inauguration of DJT has ushered in a new Golden Age, we might need to amend the statement in light of very recent events. Trump’s blanket pardon of 1500 J6 insurrectionist rioters who stormed the nation’s Capitol and violently attacked police personnel in an attempt to overturn the ratification of the 2020 presidential election and who were subsequently convicted by multiple juries of their peers has introduced a new Golden Age of Lawlessness wherein convicted criminals, not unlike the newly minted President, can now be given effective immunity for past, present, and future transgressions. So emboldened, these individuals and the private militias that stand ready to follow in their wake have been sent the unequivocal message that fealty to an autocratic leader is preferable/desirable to the observance of law. God help us as we enter into the ensuing darkness portended by Trump’s imperious edicts.
