Opinion: I hope Trump lands in prison to protect our country from the narcissistic, sociopathic, racist, grifter

I sometimes wonder what my mother would say if she rose from the dead and learned that Donald J. Trump was once president of the United States. And, that he has the gall to try and bully his way back into the Oval Office after plotting to overthrow the government.She’d most certainly ask,“Lord! Lord! What is this world coming to?”Not that Mama knew Trump all that well, but she did watch the evening news and was familiar with the now twice-indicted, twice-impeached politician who was also found liable for sexual assault.If she were to learn of the shenanigans he has pulled since her death in 2005, she’d undoubtedly scoff, “I wouldn’t trust that man as far as I can throw him.”Mama was born in the backwoods of Alabama in 1912. So you can imagine that during her 93 years of living in the Jim Crow South, she was keenly aware that Black people were thrown in jail for far less than fomenting an attack on the Capitol.Violent insurrectionists loyal to President Donald Trump, storm the Capito...

That’s the Denver Broncos?'”Ware is set to become the second member from the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 te...
