A Taxing Day

 Today is Monday, April 15th.

Which is tax day.  

I did my taxes a few weeks ago. 

I owed money to both federal and state.

I know paying taxes is a civic responsibility to help to pay for things that benefit society at large like paying teachers, fire fighters, fixing roads and bridges and so forth.

It still burns me up that I pay more in taxes than billionaires like Jeff Bezos.

Also every since the Republican party (whose mantra is always "Cut taxes! Cut taxes! Cut taxes!") has been in control of the North Carolina state legislature, I owe MORE money for state taxes. Gee (really going hard for sarcasm here), I wonder why that is?

Today is also a taxing day for Donald Trump. 

He's going to be in court for doing shit. 

Could I be more specific? 

He's going to be in court for doing fraud shit. 

Could I be more specific? 

He's going to be in court for doing fraud shit for paying off a porn star he had sex with right after wife Melania had given birth to son Barron. 

Doesn't it say something about this motherfucker that we can't just say "Donald Trump is in court" without having to narrow which legal shit he is in court for.  

I am not prepared to go into detail about this case. If you really wanna know, click here. 

I do know that someone has already spent time in jail for paying off porn star Stormy Daniels:  Trump's former lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen. In the Cohen case, Trump was identified as a "co-conspirator".  

So barring yet another last minute hold up, Trump's trial begins today.

Trump's been running up legal bills having his lawyers file daily briefs to delay the porn star pay off trial. Efforts to stall every other damn thing he's in legal trouble for have worked so why not here?

Nope, not here. 

So is Donald Trump finally going to be accountable for doing shit, not through an indictment but through an actual trial? 

I will believe it when I see it.
