Must first begin with a comment on the so-called  hush money jury selection  in New York City, first time a U.S. president has ever gone on trial for a criminal action.  34 felony counts of falsifying business records, and all 12 jurors will need to agree for a guilty verdict.  If this occurs, Donald Trump could be sentenced for up to 4 years, or fined.  Much of the trial will be covered by news channels, but  there will be no video camera in the courtroom .  Should last into the month of June, a month before the Republican Convention to confirm Trump as their presidential nominee. Of course, there is that other more serious matter of immunity from being prosecuted from Trump's attempted coup on 6January2021.  The  Supreme Court will hear final oral arguments on April 25 .  When the body makes a judgement will determine whether Trump goes to trial on this more serious matter.  My sense is that the Supreme Court will determine that he is NOT immune before the July Republican convent

Returned for a truly great lunch of salad and corn soup with red wine, followed by fish and chips with beer and white wine. Fortified, we went out o
