WHEN ALL HAS MOVED ON ABOUT 34 YEARS, Iris will be old enough to be president, Donald will be long gone and much of the world will have erased the Trump name from things. And, sadly, I won’t have been around to see how things worked out — how Iris’s generation goes about rebuilding what is left of the world. Hopefully, she will be driving a solar-powered car made largely of recycled plastic — illustrating part of the environmental recovery and progress begun during the Biden years.

Meanwhile “Viral Video Crushes Donald Trump With His Own Words About Pleading The Fifth” is the headline on this brief bit of an article by Lee Moran Feb. 18 in HuffPost, which states: “Progressive PAC Meidas Touch highlights yet more hypocrisy from Donald Trump by flipping the former president’s own comments about pleading the Fifth against him in its new viral ad.

“Trump rants about people invoking their Fifth Amendment rights in the 64-second video, which garnered almost half a million views in its first 12 hours on Twitter alone and caused the #TrumpIsGuilty hashtag to trend on the platform.

“The ex-president calls the move ‘disgraceful’ and says only ‘the mob takes the fifth’ in the clip.

“But Trump’s words are cut alongside footage of his allies and enablers invoking the privilege during various probes — including his son Eric Trump, who reportedly pleaded the Fifth more than 500 times during the New York attorney general’s investigation into Trump Organization finances.”

Another HuffPost article Feb. 17 by Ed Moran was headlined: “Jimmy Kimmel Reveals Family Member Trump's Most Likely To Sell Out First.” It read that the Trump family is feeling the heat after a court decision ordering them to testify in New York State’s civil investigation into alleged fraud and other illegalities at the Trump Organization. . . Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump were all ordered to testify. “

And Kimmel already is predicting which member of the family the former president is most likely to sell out once he’s under oath.

“I bet Trump gets five seconds into that deposition before he shouts, ‘It was Eric!’” Kimmel said, adding: “They’re looking for a Bible tiny enough for him to put his hand on to swear him in.” He also offered a video supercut showing why it’s probably in everyone’s best interest for Eric Trump not to testify this time.”

Donald, of course, merely labels our historic Free Press “the enemy of the people” whenever it presents factual information that is inconvenient to the sleight-of-hand aims of his personal money-grubbing efforts.

So meanwhile, an interesting read is found under Midastouch.com (“The truth is golden”). Created in quarantine by three brothers, MeidasTouch is a pro-democracy, next-generation super PAC founded with the primary goals of protecting American democracy, defeating Trumpism and holding Republicans accountable.
 
Since its inception in April 2020, MidasTouch has amassed an energized and engaged Twitter army of hundreds of thousands followers, garnered over one billion online impressions and help Democrats win the 2020 presidential and Georgia runoff elections.

Lastly, if you’re religious, Evangelical Christian or whatever, turn to “10 Donald Trump Quotes That Should Horrify His Evangelical Supporters.” (Type this headline into your search box). The article is dated July 2016, but it paints a picture of the true nature of the man who seeking nomination as candidate for President, and he hasn’t really changed much — except, perhaps, his speech-writers.

Inspired by HuffPost contributor Michael Stark's blog, "Donald Trump's Beatitudes," HuffPost Religion has assembled a list of sayings of Jesus and of Trump that show just how deep the divide between these two men is and how far Trump's Christian supporters have departed from the gospel.

An example: “When people wrong you, go after those people, because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it. I always get even.” — Donald Trump.
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you.” — Jesus

Or: "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall.” — Donald Trump.
"Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Jesus
