missizzyYesterday we got one piece of figure skating news that genuinely surprised me: that of Delilah Sappenfield getting hit by a lifelong ban. We've known for years she deserves one, but it was hard to believe it would ever actually happen. I've seen SafeSport being accused to trying to wiggle out of punishing people when they can. The investigation results really must have been such that they felt they had no choice. There are still a hell of a lot of problems in the sport, but this is getting rid of one big source of them. I feel much better going into next season now.
Then, of course, came today's news. I came tragically close to learning Trump had been convicted from Dean Winchester. I was scrolling through Tumblr when my mom came running in with the news; ten more seconds and I would've hit one of the posts on it. We turned the TV on briefly, but there's only so much of that we were willing to sit through.
It may not be actually getting rid of him; he continues to be all too resistant to being gotten rid of. But surely there's no way this doesn't do him significant damage, at least. It could very easily prove the difference in the end, when it comes to the election. Especially if he does get jail time; be a little harder for him to campaign then. And who'd have thought it would've been this case that did it?
