Trump's Punishment: Give Him A Choice Between Serving 1% Of His Potential Maximum Prison Time -- Basically A Year And A Half Behind Bars With No Possibility Of House Arrest -- Or, Let The Convicted Felon Choose 10 Years Of Exile On A Small Island Controlled By Great Britain Or The United States, Either Of Whom Can Surveil His Movements With Minute To Minute Precision.

If You Don't Have Time To Read The Text, At Least Watch Jimmy Kimmel's Brilliant (Post-Trump-Conviction) Monologue... And Then Riffle Through The Memes
(I cannot tell you how brilliant this monologue is. Every superlative applies.)

"The Daily Show's" Jordan Klepper Probes The Likelihood Of Civil War
(If you do not know Klepper's work, you should. By birth, Jordan is a polite Canadian,
with a GIFT for getting Trump supporters to speak without any self-censorship.
It is jaw-dropping to glimpse what really goes on in the mind - and the mindlessness - of Trump supporters.
I am ever grateful that Trevor Noah chose to hire Klepper, and then turned him loose to attend Trump Rallies as his core job description.)

The Incipient Unraveling Of The Western World As Seen By Visionary Spanish Philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1929)
“Liberalism - it is well to recall this today - is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy that is weak. It was incredible that the human species should have arrived at so noble an attitude, so paradoxical, so refined, so acrobatic, so antinatural. Hence, it is not to be wondered at that this same humanity should soon appear anxious to get rid of it. It is a discipline too difficult and complex to take firm root on earth.”
