Arraign Drops Keep Falling on My Head

You’re under arrest. And unlike the former president arraigned on Tuesday, you are not free to return to your normal life until proven guilty. The handcuffs the media shackled on your wrists will not be unlocked. Your perp walk is perpetual as the coverage will be perpetuated 24/7. Just when you thought you were out, they pulled you back in. And what are you being pulled into? The circus has come to town — the town of New York and the town of your unconscious — and this time the ringmaster is joined by the likes of <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/04/04/2023/marjorie-taylor-greene-leaves-trump-rally" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MTG and George Santos</a>.

Yes, along with the legal coverage will be the alienating daily reminders that millions of your fellow Americans love this treacherous creep. The greatest gift the judge in this case could give is to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/03/electronics-courtroom-trump-arraignment-judge-00090281" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">continue to keep cameras out</a> of the court and gag-order everyone involved, from the defendant, to the lawyers, to the media, to the person at the next table over in a restaurant who will not stop talking about this garbage. We’ve had enough of our lives dominated by this criminal. And remember, this is just the first (and most minor) of <a href="https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/4/4/23664866/donald-trump-indictment-alvin-bragg-jack-smith-stormy-daniels-new-york-georgia" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Trump’s legal challenges</a>.
