Admit it; you'd like to see Jack McCoy grill Trump
By Tom Burke / Herald columnist
Trump is leaving office just in time; as people have simply run out of the words needed to describe this worst president in U.S. history.
It’s like we’ve spread open a Merriam-Webster, turned it upside down and shook out all the Trump-describing words; and now there ain’t none left. He’s been called abhorrent, blubbering, clownish, corrupt, criminal, dog-whistling, fascist, hateful, inept, narcissistic, oafish, shameless, thuggish, venal and vulgar, and the inkwell is nigh-on dry; except, now that he lost in a landslide 306 to 232, we can call him “loser.”
For me, it was “game over” waaay back in 2016, when it was clear he was … a liar. His subsequent 26,000 falsehoods not only betrayed American democracy but killed people. A lot of people. Over 3,000 people a day now; 275,000 souls and counting.
Which causes me to ask: Where is Jack McCoy when we need him?
Sam Waterson, the actor who played New York District Attorney McCoy on TV’s original “Law & Order,” often prosecuted defendants for depraved indifference to life (also known legally as depraved-heart murder) when they killed someone not with a gun or knife, but with utter lack of concern and disdain for the consequences of their actions.
We need Jack McCoy now — voice quavering with indignation — because if anyone could actually be charged, in real life, with depraved-heart murder it’s Donald Trump and his callous indifference to the lives of 324 million Americans. I’ve had friends die; family members who’ve been infected; and know a woman (suffering from end-stage cancer) who is at a greater risk of dying, not from the cancer, but from the covid; because Trump has ignored and lied about it since February, the confession recorded and reported by Bob Woodward in his book “Rage.”

you will find his comment about IQ45 complaining about "fair" elections even in 2016 - but then that one HAD to be fair because he won, right? He goes on to argue that if IQ45 thought there was/would be a problem he's had 4 years to do something about it!
But did he - NO! Why? Because he thought the fix was in again for 2020. THAT is why he's so CRAZY now - he thought he had it made and we screwed it up for him! We got out so many votes for Joe that however he had the "fix" - it wasn't enough to overcome Joe's votes!
Yes, I'd LOVE to see him sitting on a stand and being badgered by Jack McCoy - or, better yet, Lt. Daniel Kaffee (yeah, Tom Cruise!)!
I think BunkerBoy would totally lose it - a far better explosion than "You can't handle the truth!"
Of course, I also think there'd be a pretty good chance that his head would just explode right there in the witness box........
