Equal justice under law requires prison for Trump, demonstrating that the modern American state is far stronger than any congeries of billionaire subversive oligarchs;
Contention by Putin, Xi, and other totalitarian dictators that US democracy is decadent and defenseless is again proven wrong, making these odious figures the big losers-along with their would-be emulator Trump;
Time to oust Speaker MAGA Mike, who wants Supremes to vacate conviction, triggering biggest Constitutional crisis since 1861; MAGAts who call for counterattacks against the legal system need a draconian response; Garland must vigorously enforce laws against fascist death threats; Trump's Summer of Grievance campaign theme appeals mainly to lunatic fringe;
American exceptionalism exists in historical refusal of this country to succumb to a fascist regime (as did Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Romania, Hungary, etc.), to ally with fascism (like Stalin's USSR), or to appease fascism (like Chamberlain's Britain and Daladier's France); This characteristic has just been re-affirmed but must be defended anew always;

Funny, eh?
Biden offers three-stage plan to pacify Israel-Palestine conflict, while pointing to opposition inside Netanyahu cabinet from settler crazies Smotrich and Ben Gvir; Since military solution is obviously unworkable, US should stress need for Palestinian Authority to take over Gaza;
