For MANY years my complaint about democrats was they were “spineless,” that they didn’t have the courage of their own convictions, but these present day republicans are making democrats look like WW II HERO Audie Murphy. The ONLY word which comes to mind anymore when I think of republicans is COWARD. Well, maybe COWARDICE is more appropriate. Right down the line, from Nikki Haley to Marco Rubio, with, of course, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunez and Moscow Mitch in between. These people fall into the now infamous category of “deplorables.” Ultimately, they’ll ALL be in the history books in the same paragraph as individual 1 and next to Benedict Arnold!

Today, once again, OVER 4000 Americans DIED from Covid-19. According to Worldometer.info there have been over 435,000 Americans deceased during the pandemic and it will be OVER 500,000 by the end of February. Our economy is teetering on DEPRESSION, individual 1’s supporters are STILL threatening the Capital over the belief their fuhrer actually “won” something he LOST by OVER 7,000.000 votes – too many of them are simply incapable of rational thought – recently, I’ve been using the term STUPID – and, when you check out the INSURRECTION and those who breached the Capitol Building, well, “I rest my case.” One guy had his high school letterman’s jacket on with his NAME on it! Once again, STUPID! We’re talking about SEDITION which carries a prison sentence of 20 years.

These people who watch outlets like Fox “news” or “Newsmax” all day or frequent places like Breitbart.com or the even more radical right wing websites actually view themselves as “patriots” when, in reality, they are nothing more than pathetic CRIMINALS. And, of course, those taking advantage of them go far beyond individual 1. Take for example, the so-called “Proud Boys.” They like to INSTIGATE stuff like what happened on January 6th in D.C., but, by and large, they manage to stay out of the limelight. Their “subjects” are the ones who get arrested. These thugs are the ones I’ve talked about who dressed up like so-called “Antifa” during the BLM protests following the LYNCHING of George Floyd and instigated the destruction and violence which detracted from the protests. They are among the first to create division, because, well, they’re REPUBLICANS!

Republicans continue to show themselves to be, now, anti-democratic. I’ve been pointing out anyone who believes Moscow Mitch and his caucus is going to “work with the democrats” is fooling him/herself. (Of course, I REALLY hope I’m wrong – but, I watched for 8 years as President Obama attempted to initiate “bipartisan” legislation – resulting in over 700 McConnell FILIBUSTERS). These republicans have no moral compass and they feel no SHAME. However, the simple reality is MOST of them are SHAMEFUL. For example, on February 8 they will be part of the “jury” who will be deciding whether or not INCITING INSURRECTION by a sitting U.S. president is “Treason, bribery or a high crime and misdemeanor.” When the House managers provide the EVIDENCE of the INSURRECTION it will be clear to ANY fair minded, rational individual that individual 1 “INCITED” the mob which breached the Capitol Building – while these republican Senators were in session chanting “hang Mike Pense” among other intended atrocities – and, if they fail to find him guilty it will be setting the WORST precedent in American History – because, in essence, they will be telling a future president IMPEACHMENT is, well, I’m stuck for the right word. Basically, remove it from the constitution and tell future presidents do as you will.

Obviously, if you’ve been around this site you know I’m NO fan if individual 1. In fact, I’ve been pointing out the DAMAGE he’s been doing to our republic for four years is well beyond what we’ll know on the day he’s removed from office – however that would be. Of course, republicans had the opportunity to remove him a year ago and didn’t have the guts – so we got the OUTRAGEOUS non response to a once in a century PANDEMIC which continues to rage out of control and will take most of this year for Joe Biden’s administration to “crush the virus” if we’re lucky. America has BY FAR the worst response to the pandemic in the WORLD during individual 1’s tenure in which he was, basically, AWOL. He just didn’t want to “deal” with it. I still remember in the now infamous “missing 70 days” – when there was an opportunity to stop it in its tracks – where he didn’t want fifteen infected people to disembark from a Cruise ship because he thought the “numbers” would make him look bad. He BLUNDERED a response from the first case in this country to the day he left office (with “his tail between his legs”)

Individual 1 left a FAR WORSE “mess” for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to deal with than George W Bush/Dick Cheney left for Obama/Biden. And, the mess Bush/Cheney left was, at the time, historically BAD. The potential for another “Great Depression” loomed large. Well, to me, the possibility of another “Great Depression” looms even larger today, on top of all the other issues. The only thing which has prevented that “outcome” at this point is the so-called “Cares Act” which provided people who lost their jobs $600 per week on top of their unemployment benefits. That ran out long ago and the federal response to the needs of those who’ve lost their jobs or their businesses during the last six months of individual 1’s time in office has been, well, disastrous, disgusting, and, on top of that – STUPID!

I pointed this out many times over the previous four years. Individual 1 nearly destroyed his “inheritance” (from his father) several times only to be BAILED out by “daddy” on several occasions. Apparently, the only thing which saved him was his ability to scam himself onto a television program (which, I never watched) where he gained a large following (apparently, of many of these STUPID people – who believe he’s a successful businessman). He went through SIX bankruptcies where he stiffed banks, workers, and contractors – over and over. So, now he’s destroyed the “inheritance” he received from Obama/Biden – which I predicted would happen – as he FINALLY left town. It was reported today the GDP for 2020 was MINUS 3.5% – the worst years since 1946. During his four years in office there was a net job LOSS for the first time, well, in my lifetime (I was born in 1947). So much for being a “successful businessman.” Yikes!

What’s worse is Nancy Pelosi actually provided individual 1 with the necessary “ammunition” to prevail in the election he’s been whining about for the past three months and, for which, he’s very possibly going to be facing a different “jury” than these COWARDLY republican Senators. Between him and Moscow Mitch they declared the “HEROES Act” “dead on arrival” in the Senate – a bill which would have reduced the spread of Covid-19, would have propped up the economy in numerous ways, and they were too STUPID to realize Ms. Pelosi and House democrats were more concerned with the health of our nation than who would win the election 7 months later. When I saw individual 1 being more concerned with undermining the Postal Service than uplifting the Americans negatively affected by the virus I realized he was LOSER for sure in November. My only surprise was that he didn’t lose by more – but the CULT of personality is powerful and has a lot of right wing white nationalist fervor.

So, what we’re looking at is a republican Senate which is likely to refuse to convict individual 1 in the upcoming “trial.” Last time it was “There’s an election coming, let the people decide.” Well, “we the people” decided in RECORD numbers and this time it appears their fractured logic will be “he’s already out of office, this is unconstitutional.” I only took one constitutional law class in College and it was a long time ago, but it’s clear to me that’s a specious argument – again, democrats are attempting to do these republicans a favor by removing the possibility of individual 1 ever running for office again – purging him from their party. And, they will look even worse if the Justice Department does its job and PROVES to “we the people” “no one is above the law.”

How many reasons can I come up with which demonstrates the total incompetence of individual 1 and the republican party. “Let me count the ways:” Well, FIRST has to be his IMCOMPETENT response to a once in a century pandemic (sadly, his response could easily lead to further issues of pandemics due to mutations of Covid-19). As of today, which is around one year since the first death in the U.S. from the coronavirus, according to Worldometer.info, the total DEATHS are 443,769. Yep, you read that correct. The only other leader in the WORLD who might have been as incompetent has been Boris Johnson in the UK – with a much lower population than the U.S. – Johnson, of course, somewhat an individual 1 sycophant – but, individual 1 cemented himself in the darkest of places in America’s history books by his unimaginable incompetence – as the leader of the country with the BEST ability to deal with a pandemic in the WORLD – which he managed to squander, just as he squandered the next item on the list.

As I stated above, individual 1 took an economy on a straight upward trajectory on a graph and did to it what he did to the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars he inherited from his father – not to mention the hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars he “stole” from his niece and nephew – a “theft” which will soon be resolved in court. In fact, individual 1 faces many trips to “court” in the coming year or two, but I digress. As I said, 2020 was the WORST year in American’s economic history going back to the year before I was born – 1946. A negative jobs total – for the total of his FOUR years – and, in 2020 a NEGATIVE 3.5% GDP! Apparently, individual 1 was trying to be like HERBERT HOOVER!

Well over 600 CHILDREN continue to be separated from their parents at ouf Southern border. It will take a MAMMOTH effort by the Biden administration to find the parents and re-unite them with their children. Most, if not all, of the parents have been deported to who knows where – and, keep in mind, they made the “trek” to the U.S. because they were fleeing violence and desperation in their home countries. This travesty will, ultimately, be one of the darkest “black marks” on our NATION due to individual 1’s lack of a moral compass. Actually, I believe we have no idea the total number of children who’ve been separated from their parents. To me, SHAMEFUL, is too kind of word to place on that policy. There are reports some of the people involved in this process may ultimately be facing CRIMINAL charges.

I’m simply doing this off the top of my head and my next thought is Vladimir Putin. Anyone who took the time to read Robert Mueller’s report (the real 1% in America, in my view) KNOW that Putin was instrumental in helping individual 1 “win” the 2016 election. (Yes, also James Comey) If you didn’t read Mueller’s report, well, the next best way you could “get” the issue with individual 1 and Putin was simply to watch our TWICE IMPEACHED two time popular vote LOSING president standing next to Putin in Helsinki and “throwing our intelligence community under the bus. I’ll never forget him saying, “President Putin said, ‘The Russians didn’t do it,’ and I don’t know why they would have.” Worst than that was all the attempts to undermine our traditional European allies while encouraging the right wing Fascist movements in their countries. This, by itself, would have been enough to get any other president impeached! (Of course, individual 1 managed two issues which DID get him IMPEACHED! Should have been 3)

How about the “Grand Old Party’s” willingness to LIE. Not only have they stood quietly by while individual 1 LIED over 30,000 times in his four (long) years in office. But, now, LYING has become the defacto norm in the republican party. Heck, 147 members of the republican party were willing to LIE about the 2020 election, even AFTER the Capitol had been stormed by a bunch of right wing individual 1 enthusiasts – who, apparently, actually believe Joe Biden “stole” the election. And, they’re (republicans) still LYING despite the FACT they’re encouraging the right wing (STUPID) thugs who, as I’ve said, view themselves as “patriots.” (When, in reality, they’re CRIMINALS – those who act out the so-called “Big Lie”) And, by the way, I’ve been pointing out for years republicans adopted the “Big Lie Theory” of the Nazi’s of the Third Reich (Hitler actually was the architect of the “strategy” – LIE over and over until the (STUPID) people actually believe you’re telling the truth). Now, at least, members of the media are referring to “The Big Lie” (that individual 1 “won”), but they still refuse to educate people where the “strategy” originated.

The last thing I’ll add to the list of the curious ways people can observe (or ignore) the incompetence of individual 1 AND the republican party would, of course, have to be January 6th, 2021 – the assault on our nation’s Capitol Building INSTIGATED by individual 1, individual 1 Jr., Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Mo Brooks, Rudy Giuliani, and, of course, the 147 members of Congress willing to throw out the “will of the people” by challenging the results of the vote in Arizona and Pennsylvania – results which had withstood over 50 court challenges – and multiple recounts. This was the most egregious act of political MALFESEANCE in my lifetime, in my view – and, as I’ve said here, I’ve been paying attention to politics since the days of Dwight Eisenhower – plus, which I’ve never said here my Bachelor’s degree was in Political Science. A large number of the INSTIGATORS of this breech of the Capitol MUST face legal consequences, including, but not limited to, individual 1, his namesake son, Giuliani, Brooks, Hawley, and Cruz. Instigating INSURRECTION should NEVER be acceptable. If these people go away without consequences Abraham Lincoln will be “turning in his grave.”

Final Thought: Republicans never fail in their quest to show themselves as beyond PATHETIC and, sure enough. today, Kevin McCarthy cemented that characterization of their “party” (er cult). Of course, this is the same Kevin McCarthy who condemned individual 1 for instigating the breach of the Capitol Building – the INSURRECTION – and, who said he would “talk” to Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe the “wackiest” of their entire caucus – the QAnon believer of stuff which a rational person would simply shake their head. Today, he took a flight to Florida to meet with individual 1 for the purpose of a photo shoot to reassure the Proud Boys et al the next time they attack the Capital to focus on only democrats. McCarthy, in my view, may be even MORE pathetic than individual 1. These republicans have no SPINE, they have no SHAME, and all they care about is POWER by any means possible. The idea of presenting “ideas” which might draw public acceptance beyond playing the “white victims” doesn’t register with them. It really is PATHETIC and, well, DEPLORABLE!

I have to add, the history books which will be written after I’m gone will put individual 1 and people like McCarthy and the other republicans I’ve mentioned over the years – including William Barr, Mike Pompeo, Stephen Miller, and Rod Rosenstein (and others I can’t think of right now) – next to Benedict Arnold. Maybe they’ll always be remembered as the “basket of deplorables!”

Don’t kid yourselves. The “present day” republican party in America is not changing and, of course, Moscow Mitch aint changing. Just as individual 1 is all about individual 1 so is Moscow Mitch all about Moscow Mitch. Could – OK let me say SHOULD – McConnell have called an emergency session of the Senate and held the TRIAL of individual 1 between now and January 20, 2021? Of course he could. But, like it or not, those people STORMING the Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021 were the “base” of the republican party. McConnell could care less about what is “right,” he cares about 2022 and getting himself back where he believes he belongs, and that’s in charge in the Senate of the United States of America. And, I’m sure, he doesn’t believe he can get there by convicting individual 1 in the Senate “trial.”

Fortunately, there WILL be an actual “trial,” because of McConnell’s decision, because the democrats and Chuck Schumer will be in charge come January 20, 2021. Will there be 17 Senate republicans willing to vote to convict individual 1? I seriously doubt it, even in the face of incontrovertible evidence that, as none other than Dick Cheney’s daughter said, “individual 1 organized the mob, ginned up the mob, and lit the torch which turned the mob into the INSURRECTIONISTS who stormed the Capitol Building. (OK, I was too lazy to get the exact words – what she said was individual 1 is totally GUILTY of inciting the INSURRECTIONISTS) Republicans are living in FEAR of individual 1 AND his INSURRECTIONISTS – who are threatening republicans who “cross the line” and vote against the “fuhrer.”

In 2009 Barack Obama and Joe Biden entered the “White House” facing an unimaginable MESS left behind by George W Bush and the aforementioned Dick Cheney. Many thought we were headed to another Great Depression, and the Obama/Biden “team” managed to mitigate that MESS into what came to be known as the GREAT RECESSION despite Moscow Mitch announcing, right from the start, the number one goal of republicans was Obama would fail. Do you trust McConnell now, with Biden/Harris inheriting a MESS which makes the one Joe Biden faced as Barack Obama’s V.P. look like child’s play.

There’s the pandemic which is NOW killing over 4000 Americans EACH day. According to some experts, “the economy is on ‘life support.'” There are something like 20,000 American who are unemployed with little prospects in the near future, and our nation’s Capital is FULL of National Guard troops in preparation for the next invasion of the Capital by the INSURRECTIONISTS. Honestly, I hope some of the people the FBI is searching for come back to town, making the FBI’s job a bit easier. I mean, some of the INSURRECTIONISTS weren’t that bright on January 6th, 2021 when they committed TREASON (ie Sedition is the charge many will be facing which = 20 years in prison) Regardless, Biden/Harris have their work cut out for them, but that does NOT mean democrats should simply ignore individual 1’s INSURRECTION!

He SHOULD be CONVICTED of his crimes against our constitution (and the Congress and “we the people”) and prevented from EVER holding public office once again. Just as democrats attempted to help individual 1 actually win re-election by passing the “HEROES Act” back in May of 2020 (which, of course, republicans considered “dead on arrival”) they’ve now provided all those ambitious republicans who might want to run for president the “opening” they need, by getting rid of this SEDITIOUS president once and for all. Will republicans do that? Probably not, but, we’ll see.

Joe Biden comes across as the “eternal optimist,” but there’s no doubt he understands the reality of what he is facing. His focus will be on the FAILURES of individual 1’s administration and the challenges are DAUNTING. The Covid-19 pandemic is, well, almost unbelievable. OVER 407,000 Americans are DEAD from just the last year of individual 1’s time in office – where he acted as if nothing was happening. The economy had the worst job numbers since the days of Herbert Hoover – that, really, SHOULD get people’s attention. The issue of racial justice is NOT going away despite the INSURRECTIONISTS ongoing threats. And, America’s foreign policy is in “tatters” as individual 1 leaves office. Why should we be surprised? Our TWICE IMPEACHED two time popular vote LOSING president had no idea what he was doing and, short of giving his rallies to his white nationalist base, he didn’t appear to even want to do the job.

I will now shift my focus to what President Biden is doing as he goes forward as our President and how much of his impressive and progressive agenda he can manage to get past Moscow Mitch’s tendency to want to OBSTRUCT anything which might make democrats look “good.” Of course, here’s the sad reality of American politics, from my viewpoint – republicans are good at “winning” elections and have no idea how to govern effectively. Democrats are lousy at winning elections (they have messaging issues) but, they know how to govern effectively. Brace yourself, because the next two years will be focused on republicans attempting to continue the deadlock on Congress which became their “MO” back when Newt Gingrich was making his mark in the House of Representatives. Stay tuned………………

Final Thought: It is imperative individual 1 would be investigated and, where appropriate, charged with the potential CRIMES he committed while in office. For heaven’s sake, he stood in front of that crowd of white nationalists and urged them to attack the Capitol Building and, soon thereafter, he sent them all a “tweet” that Mike Pense had “failed them” which was soon followed by the crowd chanting “Hang Mike Pense.” It was reported, he was curried away just seconds before the crowd might have encountered him. They had a GALLOWS erected with a noose on the Capitol’s grounds. Those involved, and very possibly that would include individual 1, individual 1 Jr., possibly his girlfriend, Mo Brooks, and Rudy Giuliani, were committing “Capital Crimes.” People DIED in the INSURRECTION, including a Police Officer, and may will likely be charged with SEDITION – which is another word for TREASON.

I believe it is imperative individual 1 NOT be allowed to walk away with no accountability for his CRIMINAL behavior – should it be proven after investigations – because, at this point in time, I believe me MUST re-affirm “America is a nation of laws and not men.” In other words, no one is above the law. America has looked “forward instead of back” in the words of Barack Obama since the days of Ronald Reagan. Reagan CLEARLY was culpable in the Iran Contra scheme as was his VP – in fact George HW Bush was likely more culpable as a former CIA director and operative – and, of course, it was even more public knowledge of the illegal behavior of George W Bush and Dick Cheney which, I believe, left individual 1 feeling he really was “above the law” as our (TWICE IMPEACHED so called two time popular vote LOSING) president.

I have to add: I was one of the 1%. probably the only time in my life I had that distinction, when I read the Mueller report from cover to cover. In fact, I read it twice (and, I’ve thought of reading it again). Here’s the deal: In volume one there was plenty of evidence to suggest there was “collusion” between individual 1’s campaign and the Russians. Roger Stone was critical in finding the truth and he’s now been pardoned – which removes his fifth amendment protection should he be questioned about individual 1’s involvement in the timing of the Russians releasing the stolen emails. Will that be investigated? We’ll see. Further more, in volume 2 there were about 10 credible instances of OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE by individual 1 which, in my view, SHOULD be further investigated and, where appropriate charged. Otherwise, the Special Counsel regulation should be repealed because, if the president can OBSTRUCT it, it has no value legally.

This is another post which I started while individual 1 was in office and hadn’t finished. I’m posting without editing so my apologies for any of my “sixth grade” writing and I hope the day is close where my thoughts will be focused away from our disgraced former president. It appears as if the entire free world is taking a huge breath today with a sense of encouragement. Wow!

I do as much reading as my failing eyes can handle and I’m never even surprised, these days, as I read the words STILL coming from the mouths of those who support individual 1 that the DELUSION runs deep in that part of the republican party which continues to claim individual 1 has some kind of legacy he should have been “burnishing” these past couple of months instead of (in my words) attempting to “burn the place down” on the way out the door. Kellyanne Conway had the “nerve” to suggest we “are more peaceful and prosperous” due to the administration of our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president.

When I read that, all I could think was – as I just said – the DELUSION runs deep. And, Ms. Conway wasn’t the only one. Trust me, individual 1’s “legacy” had long since been determined before he instigated an INSURRECTION of the nation’s Capitol while Congress was certifying the results of the 2020 election. Clearly, the attempt was to stop Vice President Pense from actually doing his constitutional duty by the way of, well, HANGING! The invaders, en masse, were CHANTING “hang Mike Pense” over and over AND, they had constructed a gallows on the lawn of the Capitol Building. It seems to me, somehow, they thought the “authorities” would not contest their actions – and, for a couple of hours, it appeared they were correct.

Just that failure of security is going to add to this “saga” as the information slowly “drips” out as investigations proceed. And, I believe individual 1’s “case” before the Senate will get weaker and weaker as time goes by – especially, if his supporters follow through with the online threats to virtually every Capital in the nation as they attempt to stop the inauguration. Joe Biden is intent on the inauguration happening in the traditional manner, without the “parades” and other festivities which have been canceled because of the pandemic (and, who’s responsible for the intensity of that?). If something happens to him or Kamala Harris who do you think is going to get the majority of the BLAME? That shouldn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out!

A legacy of “peace and prosperity” in the words of Ms. Conway, huh? Well, let me just go over this a bit. Peace? The nation is now FULL of right wing HATE groups who view individual 1, in many instances – literally – as their “FUHRER.” These are groups which range from what are described as “neo-NAZI” to just plain “NAZI” militia groups who are heavily armed and have been brandishing their arms at one Capital after another in an attempt to BULLY state legislators into bending to their “will.” In Michigan, one group of the so-called “Boogaloo Bois” were arrested after actively plotting to kidnap and MURDER the governor of Michigan. These people have been openly THREATENING democrats for the entire time individual 1 has been in office and they are intensely loyal to him as their “vehicle” into what they view as the “mainstream” of American politics.

These are the people who marched on Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us” as they carried Tiki Torches, carried confederate flags and wore NAZI armbands – with one of them eventually MURDERING Heather Heyer by driving his car into a group of counter protesters – people referred to as “Antifa” – which of course, means “Anti Fascists.” In the 1940’s virtually all Americans were “Antifa” – it took individual 1 and his thuggish Attorney General to refer to those who oppose FASCISTS as a “terrorist group” – even though there is no organized group “Antifa” – from what I’ve read it’s a loose nit group of Americans who oppose these right wing Nazi and neo-Nazi militias. To individual 1 the Nazi’s and neo-Nazi’s are “very fine people.”

Peaceful? Wasn’t individual 1 who was urging members of Police Departments to be “not too nice” when they’re arresting people? Do you think that had anything to do with all the Black Americans succumbing to the police because, well, because they happen to be Black? Do you think individual 1 might be considered a RACIST by those Americans who are attempting to NOT be racists? And, I phrase it in that light, because most of US white Americans have a hard time understanding the “white privilege” we’ve enjoyed in our lifetimes because, well, it’s something we’ve taken for granted and come to expect. It’s hard for most of us to put ourselves in the “shoes” of someone of color. I’ve had many REALLY good friends who are African American or Hispanic and it’s really hard for me to fully understand what they’ve had to endure. It’s not right, but it is what it is – as the saying goes, and I admire so many of them for their internal STRENGTH to endure the discrimination and still be incredibly STRONG.

Prosperous? Well, I suppose if you have a connection to Wall Street, that’s how you see things. If you’re connection is to “Main Street” not so much – especially, if you’re younger. The level of unemployed Americans, under-employed Americans, and Americans living in poverty is disturbing to say the least – and, I certainly wouldn’t suggest individual 1 is leaving behind a “prosperous” nation – in fact, to a significant degree, quite the opposite. As I’ve written lately, I believe he’s leaving behind a MESS which makes what Bush/Cheney left behind pale in comparison – and, remember, Bush/Cheney left behind a country teetering on another Great Depression. So, where does that leave us now?

Well, also as I’ve written over the past few months, democrats attempted to provide individual 1 with what was necessary for him to win re-election – he just wasn’t smart enough to figure it out. That, itself, would suggest he’s no “stable genius” wouldn’t it? First, they passed three bills to fight the effects of the coronavirus which included the so-called “CARES Act” – essentially bailing out Wall Street PLUS “we the people” from the effects of the virus in it’s early stages – back when it ravaged the Northeast corridor of the nation. Subsequently, as the virus spread ALL across the country democrats passed the “HEROES Act” which was designed to, as Nancy Pelosi said, “crush the virus” and, naturally individual 1 and Moscow Mitch said, “dead on arrival.” That was a foolish move on their part and a BAD move for “we the people.”

But, suggesting individual 1 is leaving behind a “prosperous” nation would need someone who’s “prosperous” and “blind” to what is actually happening in this nation to even think let alone publicly suggest. Today, for example, there were almost another 1 MILLION unemployment claims just this past week. The actual level of unemployment in this nation as I’m typing this is the worst since the Great Depression. And, keep in mind, individual 1 INHERITED a very healthy economy, which he did NOT enhance (the tax scam helped only the “fortunate few” – which must be who Ms. Conway is referring) and, which he has with so much of what he inherited, he has squandered. The economic situation Biden is inheriting is dire – and, personally, I DON’T trust Moscow Mitch to change his obstructionist ways as he’ll try to keep things heading downward thinking that’s his “ticket” back to the majority leader’s chair.

For heaven’s sake, it feels as if I’m just getting started. I haven’t even referred to the attack on the Capitol Building in any detail and the threats which are circulating online about further insurrection when we talk about a legacy of “peace and prosperity.” There are suggestions individual 1 enjoyed watching the INSURRECTION of the Capitol (he did make sure he told the INSURRECTIONISTS “we love you and you’re special”) and the reports are he blocked the deployment of the National Guard with, ultimately, the “go ahead” being given by Pense – who was holed up in the Capitol listening to the supporters of individual 1 chanting they wanted to hang him. At that point I doubt he’d seen the noose hanging from their makeshift gallows, but, you know, that probably wasn’t necessary to get his attention.

There are other reports suggesting republican members of Congress were giving tours of the Capitol building to those who ended up breeching it the next day – possibly explaining how they knew the premises well enough to find rooms which even some of the journalists who work their full time have suggested are hard for them to find. I mean, there are some real “doosies” in our Congress nowadays. All you had to do was listen to a few of them speak as they defended our NOW TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president from being impeached for INSTIGATING an INSURRECTION which amounted to an attempted coup d’etat. A couple QAnon believing ladies caught my attention – one of them demanding the right to carry a weapon into the Capitol chamber! This is “loony tune” stuff.

The members of Congress SHOULD expel some of the worst offenders in helping individual 1 to instigate this INSURRECTION. Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy in the House and, of course, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley (really, along with Ron Johnson and Cindy Hyde-Smith) in the Senate. Of course, there were 8 Senators and close to 140 members of the House who voted to overturn the election – even AFTER the INSURRECTION should have made it clear to them their words “matter.” To me, they don’t deserve the honor of serving in our government if they can’t accept the “will of the people” in a free and fair election. And, many of these people are responsible for helping to pollute individual 1’s feeble mind possibly even causing him to believe his LIES about the election were actually true.

We’ve all know for the previous four plus years individual 1, like a mob boss, is bent on revenge when things don’t go his way. He made this clear well before he was ever “elected” (with the help of Vladimir Putin and James Comey – an unlikely pair) and he’s been dishing out retribution like a mob boss ever since he took the oath of office – which, in effect, was an oath saying he WOULDN’T be doing that – instead, he was supposed to “defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.” To him, an “enemy” is anyone who might disagree with him. Sound familiar? I said, from the beginning, I thought he was trying to “be like Vlad.” (OK, if you’re not too sharp, that would be Mr. Putin, himself) What kind of legacy is that?

What did he accomplish besides ONE piece of legislative success – the tax scam, which has pretty much “blown up” in the face of republicans who are now going to return to their “deficit hawk” days – a bunch of judges (who threw out his frivolous lawsuits attempting to overthrow the election by disenfranchising Black people) and a bunch of executive orders which Biden will soon reverse. Thanks to republicans, that’s where our government “resides” these days. Individual 1 reversed a bunch of Obama era successes via executive orders and Biden is going to reverse them right back. Kind of like a “teeter totter” or maybe a better description would be a “roller coaster.” Either way, this is no way to run a government – but with McConnell running the Senate or OBSTRUCTING the Senate (from the minority chair) “it is what it is.”

“We the people,” by and large, want republicans and democrats to work together in order to “get things done” but, the people of Kentucky keep voting McConnell back into office. That being said, on several occasions during the past four years McConnell has said if individual 1 says he’s “for it” then that’s what they would do – although, there was no way the so-called “wall” was going to be built unless individual 1 could have managed to get “Mexico to pay for it.” That was such an absurd claim and people actually fell for it. Now, of course, most republicans will say “we didn’t really believe that” but, in reality, they did. That’s why I’ve been using the term STUPID on this site lately. Of course, MOST of them believe the 2021 election “was stolen” although, that’s also STUPID. Its really EASY to get the actual DATA on the election and it’s EASY to figure out the reason the nearly 60 LAWSUITS filed by individual 1’s goof ball attorneys were FRIVOLOUS because, well, in virtually EVERY instance that’s what the judges told us. Here’s what I always say to someone I encounter who supports our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president – STOP watching Fox “news.” Of course, some of them have listened and now watch “Newsmax” which is very possibly worse. I watched it for about a minute and that was all I needed to see. More misinformation and conspiracy theories. Yikes!

And, speaking of the legacy of our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president (I’m really getting tired of writing all that) I haven’t even broached the subject of his MISERABLY failed response to the coronavirus. Originally, I focused on the “missing 70 days at the beginning which COULD have saved thousands upon thousands of lives had he initiated a proper response to an incoming pandemic – which had a “playbook” in place (of course, he disregarded it) and a task force which he had disbanded – and, then, by June he totally had become AWOL and was listening to the wack job Scott Atlas who convinced him the solution was “herd mentality” (of course, that meant “herd immunity”) which was a convenient way for individual 1 to do what he usually did – which was NOTHING.

And, now, there will have been over 400,000 Americans DEAD from this virus by the time he leaves office, they’ll be DYING at the rate of over 4000 per day – by FAR the worst response in the WORLD to the virus – and, he’ll still have many supporters believing it’s just another flu – as they threaten their state governments for attempting to do what individual 1 should have to mitigate the effects of the virus which, of course, is NOW mutating! Legacy?

You’re correct, I haven’t mentioned “foreign policy” either. You know, where individual 1 “threw our intelligence community “under the bus” while standing next to Vladimir Putin in Helsinki and shaming himself in the eyes of the “free world” as he said words to the effect of “he really meant it” when he said, “I didn’t do it.” “Very Stable Genius?” I DON’T think so! Individual 1 openly has been doing Putin’s “bidding” for four years leaving members of our intelligence community wondering “What does Putin have on him?” Trying to undermine NATO, repeating Kremlin “talking points,” extorting Ukraine, it just goes on and on. He’s a pariah in the eyes of our traditional allies – although, he’s “in love” with maybe the worst dictator in the world, Kim Jong un of North Korea.

I haven’t mentioned all the kids STILL in cages at our Southern border who may NEVER be re-united with their parents or all the people seeking asylum who’ve been forced into refuge camps South of our Southern border in opposition to any traditional legal expectation of how we deal with those who have legitimate claims of asylum in America. We are a nation of immigrants – I’ve pointed out here, individual 1, himself, is ONLY a second generation American – where does he get off suggesting it’s time to “draw the line.” Of course, his family immigrated from Germany and that would be OK. Or, it’s OK if immigrants come from places like, well, NORWAY. Do you get the idea. He only opposed the people coming from what he referred to as “shithole” countries – I’ll let you figure out what that means or what “legacy” that leaves behind.

I keep adding here that the African Americans – some he has suggested should go back to their “own” countries – have a family history in this nation which predates his own by several centuries. (That’s HUNDREDS of years if you didn’t do math in school) There are a plethora of REALLY talented African Americans and other Americans considered “of color” and, to me, it’s really exciting to see so many of them being elevated into positions of leadership. Sadly, I believe individual 1’s white nationalist base will NEVER accept a nation where “all men/women are created equal.” I’ve pointed out the things I got wrong with individual 1, like the republican party being willing to go down with him, but more importantly to me – I feel a real sense of grief that our nation could have devolved to this dark place. The reality is over 70 MILLION Americans were willing to accept a pseudo fascist as their leader. It’s really quite sad!

Final Thought: It’s no surprise to me there are rumors circulating individual 1 may pardon the invaders of the Capitol Building who have been charged with crimes already – including the so-called Q “shaman” who has openly asked for one. Here’s my suggestion for our (now) TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president and that is ignore these requests. You’re about to face ANOTHER trial in the Senate and you have a lot STILL to lose should they vote to CONVICT you – which, I believe will be a certainty if you choose to invade these INSURRECTIONISTS. Additionally, decisions will need to be made after you leave office whether to charge YOU or not – or your family members – which can be CHARGED with D.C. Crimes which you can’t pardon. If you pardon the INSURRECTIONISTS I believe your future gets even more “cloudy” than it already is.

I’ve been giving individual 1 advice – along with, of course, a lot of criticism, because he just wouldn’t listen to me – for over four years now. My guess is he may listen this time because, after all, he’s all about, well, individual 1. We’re not seeing him supporting more and more people around him who he believes have either been disloyal or incompetent. (He apparently doesn’t understand his OWN incompetence) For example, the reports today are that he’s STIFFING Rudy Giuliani’s exorbitant FEES for his so-called “legal services.” Giuliani was willing to STAIN himself in one court after another carrying the “water” for the BASELESS claims individual 1 was making about the so-called “steal.” When I first heard Giuliani was charging $20,000 per day (yep, you read that correctly) I actually wondered in individual 1 would pay it? (OK, just to make sure if you’re still reading, it was a “joke” that he might listen to me. I seriously doubt he’s one of the 200 or so who somehow show up here on a daily basis)

After all, our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president had raised about a quarter BILLION dollars AFTER the election, supposedly to “fight the steal.” So, I’m sure, Giuliani figured $20,000 per day is, well, “chicken scratch” compared to the $250,000,000 individual 1 had scammed off his adoring “ditto heads.” Well, it’s still individual 1 – he’s been STIFFING lawyers, bankers, workers, etc. for over 50 years. Giuliani FAILED him – now he’s had to accept there’s going to be “a peaceful transfer of power” – based on what are being called the “hostage videos” he’s putting out in his final days in office. So, Giuliani is just the latest person who has FAILED der leader – now, he has to hope for that pardon which, if individual 1 is really mad at him, might be in jeopardy.

I have to add: The republicans who are deciding if they’ll “do the right thing” when individual 1’s trial in the Senate comes due, are not only living in fear of individual 1’s voters, they also understand those who turn on our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president almost immediately start receiving DEATH threats. Of course, democrats in Congress have been living with this for four years now. We’ll soon find out the level of courage of the Senate republicans. we’ve already seen Lindsey Graham to be a true COWARD – after being ridiculed after publicly saying individual 1 was a “naughty boy” (my characterization, of course) has turned back into his publicly sycophantic self. Shame on South Carolina for re-electing this cowardly hypocritical deplorable person! We’ll see about the other republicans soon. (If they choose to acquit him, they will deserve what he does to their party between now and 2024)

I wrote this post about a week before individual 1 left town with his “tail between his legs” and I’m still going to post it – This is my “diary in cyberspace” – I write, I believe, to help with my own frustration. I do have to add, for a few of the 150 or so pardons on his way out of office I think he actually did the right thing – although, many of them – like for Steve Bannon – were absurdly offensive. But, why was I not surprised? (Well, actually, I was with the ones which seemed appropriate and well thought out) Also, he DIDN’T pardon the INSURRECTIONISTS – or, quite possibly himself and his family – although he may have done the secretly. Soon the only time we’re talking about him will have to deal with his legal issues and his failing real estate “empire.”

I’ve been saying this for years, maybe 10 years as a matter of fact, there’s a WAR going on in America for the heart and soul of this nation and the ENEMY is the “present day” republican party. This became OBVIOUS to me back when Barack Obama became the 44th president in our history and, first, people like Moscow Mitch were saying things like our “number one goal is President Obama will FAIL.” We heard that from the republicans in power and we heard it ad nauseum from the right wing “echo chamber” – ie Fox “news” and the proliferation of more entities forming on the internet which continue to get more radical. These places on the internet, which I don’t frequent, but constantly “hear” about, are either similar or the SAME entities which are used to radicalize STUPID people by ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Of course, there’s also the Social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter which have been used right out in the open to radicalize people because they have virtually no limits on MISINFORMATION (OK, you’re correct, I should say LIES) being fomented on their platforms and, by the way, coming from foreign governments – like Russia, for example – inflaming America’s racists – ie, the republican base (OK, republicans aren’t the only racists in America). Facebook and Twitter FINALLY blocked individual 1’s NONSENSE and “apps” like Parlor have been blocked, but the extreme fringe of this INSURRECTION will simply find other places to congregate. As I just said, some of them are congregating with the propagandists of ISIS and Al Qaeda. And, when I talk to people I know who’ve been sucked in, it’s really hard because, in essence, much of what they say either makes no sense or is complete nonsense.

I have an acquaintance who believes (I’m guessing, I don’t remember exactly what he said) something like 30 states are going to attempt succession. I mean there have been people I’ve been aware of for some time in Texas (and other places) lobbying for succession. As I just recently said to him, they’ll get the same result they got last time. Here’s the reality which became apparent with Obama’s election back in 2008 – republicans just don’t like the idea of Black people being elected. In fact, they don’t even like the idea of Black people voting. It’s like they want to take us back to the days of “Jim Crow.” It’s unbelievable to me. I’ve lost my tolerance to endure the conversations with these people. Yes, the situation in this nation is serious, and I hope democrats – and, the republicans who haven’t lost their minds – realize this is a WAR. (I’m a strong supporter of the “Lincoln Project” for this very reason – they “get” it)

I believe the WAR will be won at the ballot box, which is tending to prove true after the 2018 and 2020 elections – although, we’re “living on the razor’s edge.” Democrats have a (bad) tendency to be absent during midterm elections, although individual 1 inspired them to show up in record numbers back in 2018. It remains to be seen if this INSURRECTION will catch the attention of enough people who vote for democrats to start PURGING our Congress of the TRAITORS in their midst come 2022? People like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, in the Senate, are not up for re-election until 2024 – unless the Senate manages to expel them. However, members of the House have to run for re-election every two years and there are a bunch of them whose re-elections – win or lose – will go a long way to determine how many Americans actually are willing to forgive the INSURRECTIONISTS and their instigators.

Make no mistake, those in the republican party are NOT going to stop using the “BIG LIE THEORY” because they’ve relied on it for the past 40 years. It’s just that individual 1 demonstrated how effective you can be if you’re a PATHALOGICAL liar when your “audience” is full of “uneducated voters” – as he famously said back in the 2016 campaign. When you listen to some of the people who were ATTACKING our nation’s Capitol Building it should be apparent – many of them would qualify for the saying, “The light’s on, but NO one’s home.” One of the people arrested, so far, (there will be HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS – the FBI has already identified over 300 INSURGENTS) was alternating between thanking Jesus (the MOST offensive part of all this to me) and reminding people back in Texas, “This is how I’ll sell your home.” ???

I’m not sure how her real estate business is doing, but there’s a whole bunch of INSURRECITONISTS who are now unemployed – along with facing charges which could carry 20 year jail terms (Sedition) – I’m guessing those sentences will be handed out to the worst of the instigators, but, in reality, anyone breaching the Capitol COULD be accused of being a seditionist. And, keep in mind, they KILLED on Cop and brutally assaulted many others with 14 still in the hospital the last time I checked. They were beating Cops with their American flags!

I’ve been saying for at least three years (you can check the archives if you don’t believe me) that individual 1’s place in the history books will be right next to Benedict Arnold – and, he’s getting a lot of company. Of course, there’s already William Barr, Mike Pompeo, Stephen Miller, and some others in the administration already there, but now it’s getting crowded – apparently there’ll be a second paragraph.

People like Cruz, Hawley, Ron Johnson, John Kennedy (not the “original” JFK) and, well, there’s too many to list – 147 members of Congress voted AGAINST the voters of Arizona and Pennsylvania. The ones who offend me every time I hear their voices are people like Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunez, Mo Brooks, and of course, the person considered the STUPIDEST member of Congress, Louie Gohmert. And, I have to add, if it’s not clear as a bell to you, the voters they oppose are the, well, surprise, surprise African Americans.

Like I said above, these republicans want to take us back to the days of Jim Crow. And, it’s no secret to anyone paying attention, some of the most extreme of those in the militia movement – which has been allowed to fester for years – for sure since Obama was elected – are attempting to start a race “civil war” in America. OMG – back to the days of ………….. You, I’m sure saw all the confederate flags in the INSURRECTION on January 6th, 2021 – there’s your answer. Plus, it’s also no secret out Police forces are full of these white nationalists who are going to have to decide who’s side they’re on “sooner rather than later.” It will be too late for many of them because they participated in the attempted coup d’etat!

I mentioned above the republican response to the election of President Obama and that was when the “Tea Party” was originally formed. And, while we’re giving “credit” here, you can thank the now infamous “Koch brothers” and their network of right wing racist organizations for that movement. Who knows, they may have helped finance the INSURRECTION. And, for anyone who doesn’t understand this, the FBI is looking for anyone who financed the January 6th attempt to overthrow our elected government, those who organized it as well as all those who participated in it. If you don’t understand this, that puts you in the crowd of those I’ve been referring to as STUPID lately!

And, the so-called “Tea Party” has taken over the republican party, at least in the House of Representatives. Their ability to gerrymander enough districts to make some of the WORST offenders almost “untouchable” makes it even more difficult for democrats to keep control of the House although, some my soon find themselves expelled. And, of course, democrats don’t help themselves with their inability to “message” in a way that draws in independent voters on a consistent basis. Although, I believe MOST independent voters (I’m one of them) don’t support the OVERTHROW of our government, democratic messaging MUST improve. That’s why we vote – if you don’t like what’s going on – like the people’s response to individual 1 – the way you change it is to VOTE. And, that’s what has happened in the last four years. Obviously, the right wing in America doesn’t like the idea of LOSING at the ballot box!

And, by the way, my representative is a republican, her name is Jaime Herrera Beutler and, I’ve never voted for her, because, well, she’s a republican and she votes in line with them virtually 99% of the time. In fact, a couple years ago, when she failed to vote with individual 1 on something – like ONE thing, I can’t remember what, the local republicans wanted to censure her. So, I’m sure you can guess how all those people who drive around with two flags on their trucks – one American and one “individual 1,” are thinking about her because she was one of the republicans who, thankfully, voted to IMPEACH individual 1 for the SECOND time. Well, I contact her regularly, usually out of frustration, but after her vote and listening to why she cast it, I called her office to assure her I would be voting for her in the next election. That’s likely a bad sign for her, but I’m now hoping she can hang on to her seat – unless she get’s primaried and there’s a democrat to take over (although, this district is clearly gerrymandered for republicans)

Like anyone else, I have no idea how the near future is going to play out. Will all these right wing nut jobs follow through on their threats to attack the state Capitals in all 50 states? Will the police, National Guard, and FBI treat them as the TRAITORS they are? While I believe Joe Biden is the right person for MOST of the challenges we face as a nation, I’m not sure the response to these thugs is one of them. As my old high school football coach preached, “nice guys finish last.” There’s another old saying “You’ve got to meet fire with fire” and, I believe that is absolutely what is called for right now. Will the National Guard troops in D.C. respond to a violent attack by the INSURRECTIONISTS as the TRAITORS have promised with force? We’ll have to wait to see. Remember, some of them are sympathetic! Stay tuned………………..

Final Thought: I have no doubt there were members of Congress who were complicit in the INSURRECTION. I also believe it will become clear in the next days or weeks. I also believe the more time passes from January 6th the better the chances individual 1 will become the FIRST president in our history who is CONVICTED of his “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Of course, that will require at least 17 republican votes in the Senate (remember, Joe Manchin is NOT a reliable democratic vote) for there to be a CONVICTION. I believe they’ll either get the 17 votes or only a few – because, by and large, the republicans in Congress are a bunch of COWARDS! What do they really believe it? Re-election! If inciting an attempted OVERTHROW of our government is NOT IMPEACHABLE conduct, then they might as well take IMPEACHMENT out of the constitution – because, otherwise it’s nothing more than a political “football” designed to embarrass the opponents of those who control the House.

I thought attempting to EXTORT the leader of a foreign nation to CHEAT in the election SHOULD have been worthy of a CONVICTION, but we all knew that would never happen with Moscow Mitch at the “helm” and, as I said, a bunch of COWERING republicans in the Senate. For heaven’s sake, their “trial” was NO “trial” at all. Maybe this time will be different because, well, attempting to OVERTHROW the government is worse, in my mind, than repeated CHEATING to win elections, but, you know, I’m just a retired 6th grade teacher. And, we ARE talking about republicans who’ve hitched their “wagon” to the racist elements of our nation here! Time will tell!

As I listen to one republican after another suggesting democrats should stop IMPEACHMENT because it’s so divisive I almost gag. These are people who have been aiding and abetting individual 1’s BIGGEST LIE that he “won the election in a landslide” and the democrats are “stealing it” from him – essentially, by allowing Black people to vote. 147 republican members of Congress stood with the INSURRECTIONISTS even after the ILLEGAL INVASION of the Capitol Building – those are the people who have the power to reduce the “division.” They simply need to ADMIT they’ve been LYING to their (STUPID) constituents that the election was actually full of fraud. You know, “fraud” not ONE of them who can quantify with anything resembling evidence.

This has also happened in the governors “race” in my home state of Washington where the right wing candidate who was SOUNDLY defeated in the election has refused to “concede” (apparently, trying to be like individual 1). He’s also, apparently, grifted enough cash from his supporters to be able to pay a lawyer to go to court challenging the results. However, in this instance, the Attorney General of the State of Washington informed the lawyer they were going to move to dismiss the lawsuit as “frivolous” and, should he fail to withdraw it, they would file a complaint with the state Bar Association. At that point the lawyer withdrew the lawsuit and withdrew his representation of his crazy client. And, now, other lawyers are (still) petitioning the court to discipline the losing candidate’s lawyer.

I have an acquaintance who is (sadly) full on sucked in to individual 1’s cult who now sounds just like a white nationalist and, in his latest message to me, is – once again – predicting a “civil war.” He uses the term “conservative” to suggest people like the “Proud Boys” are “conservatives.” These people MUST stop allowing right wing echo chamber media outlets to BRAINWASH them ASAP. I’ve been pointing out for years individual 1, the republican party, and the right wing “echo chamber” have all adopted the “Big Lie Theory” of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels. I’m now hearing members of the “mainstream” media referencing individual 1’s claim (along with his republican sycophants) that “I won the election in a landslide” along with “the democrats are stealing the election” as the “Big Lie. They’re coming around – now, they simply need to educate the public that “Big Lie” is part of the Nazi propaganda scheme they’ve adopted as their strategy.

By and large, I (an optimist) believe MOST Americans don’t support people who would attempt to overthrow our government. My acquaintance I mentioned above now sounds like someone affiliated with the so-called “Boogaloo” movement – a neo-Nazi hate group which is focused on starting a race war. I’ve pointed out several times since the LYNCHING of George Floyd and the protests which followed that I believe much of the violence and destruction caused during those protests were actually caused by members of the “Boogaloo” movement who infiltrated the protests with their hammers, crowbars, and baseball bats as they started bashing windows and encouraging protesters to vandalize various businesses. In almost every instance I’ve read about since then, the perpetrator arrested was a right wing instigator – not the so-called “Antifa terrorists” we’ve heard so much about from individual 1 and William Barr.

The division in America will not subside as long as individual 1’s supporters continue to spread the “Big Lie” as opposed to apologizing to their constituents for LYING to them about the election – which was called the “most secure” in our history by individual 1’s own appointment to the cyber security department which was protecting the various state elections from voter fraud – which, of course they accomplished. Yet, the places like “Fox news” which has been a LARGE part of the problem have been STILL pushing the LIE. This is sad on so many fronts.

Take for example, there’s still a raging pandemic (and, it’s getting WORSE by the day) which individual 1 abandoned all the way back in June where – over the past week and a half there have been half a dozen days where the DEATH toll of Americans has exceeded 4000 of our citizens. Yet, many republicans continue to act as if this is not a problem. Many of them continue refusing to wear a mask – just one thing they can do to protect those around them – not a guarantee, but a signal we’re all trying to “crush this virus.” Joe Biden has announced a robust plan to do just that and now we’re going to be depending on republicans in the Senate to agree to support it in order to get it approved quickly.

The acquaintance I mentioned above, previously, has referred to Covid-19 as “the flu” just like the “echo chamber” he apparently spends his time in. I really don’t see how anyone can look at the actual data – the DEATH toll will exceed 400,000 in less than ELEVEN months the day individual 1 leaves Washington DC (with his “tail between his legs”) The Obama administration kept the DEATH toll to under 35,000 during the H1N1 crisis and actually left a “playbook” for individual 1’s administration to protect “we the people” from the next pandemic. We’re hardly talking about this as we’ve got a bunch of right wing extremist wack jobs believing the “Big Lie” of individual 1 and threatening to Capitals all across the nation as they continue to attempt an overthrow of our government and a “free and fair” election. Shame on them!

Online, these thugs exchange messaging where many of them talk as if they’re willing to “die” for their cause. Well, now there are over 20,000 armed National Guard troops in Washington DC so they’ve got a golden opportunity to do just that. However, my prediction is they won’t show up as planned this week – unless they can find a state Capital which is not fortified. I’m guessing MOST of these people are actually the very COWARDS they appear, but, I suppose, time will tell. I just shake my head when people like the person I mentioned above suggests there will be another “civil war” – I very succinctly responded to him, if so, it will end just like the last one. These are a bunch of white people who just can’t accept the reality America is evolving to a “more perfect union.” It may have to do so without a bunch of these thugs.

Of course, it won’t be long until a WHOLE bunch of them will be sitting in a jail cell next to some of the people they despise. It was reported today by the FBI they’ve already identified OVER 300 of the INSURRECTIONISTS and the charges these people are looking at are not minimal. We’re talking about Sedition which is another word for TRAITOR and carries a prison term of, at least, 20 years – some of them will be facing MURDER or Attempted MURDER charges on top of Sedition. Plus, there’s a bunch of other SERIOUS charges a whole bunch of them will face. For example, close to 20 “former or active” members of the military have been identified. It’s not likely to end well for any of them. And, of course, there were a bunch of active or former members of various police departments around the country – which is exactly why people are wanting “police reform.” (You can call it whatever you like)

I’m not a fan of Moscow Mitch, but you can see what he’s doing right now. He has a two fold “strategy” in my mind – if I’m not giving him too much credit. He is holding over individual 1’s head a “threat” that he’d better not do anything else between now and the day he’s gone. For example, if he urges these people on again, he’ll be CONVICTED on the spot. Maybe if he starts “pardoning the INSURRECTIONISTS” he’ll be CONVICTED immediately. That’s the first part. Secondly, the time it will take to get from here to the Senate trial will allow the accumulation of more evidence – which, likely will lead to individual 1’s CONVICTION then – unless the Senate republicans are all a group of total COWARDS.

And, of course, then there are all the republicans in Congress who were complicit in this INSURRECTION. The obvious violators are Josh Hawley and Mo Brooks plus the reports are intensifying there were members of Congress leading INSURRECTIONISTS through the halls of Congress on January 5th. OF COURSE, there were supposed to be NO tours in Congress due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so why were these people being shown where all the offices are? I think you can figure this out – unless, of course, you’re STUPID. Which would make you part of individual 1’s cult. Republicans need to apologize for their Big Lie – which, of course, they won’t. It’s the media and corporate America who need to put an end to the Nazi’s/republicans’ “Big Lie Theory” by exposing it and defunding it!

Final Thought: Well, today Franklin Graham stated, “Those who voted to IMPEACH individual 1 (he, of course, used his surname) are the equivalent to those who betrayed Jesus.” Honestly, I just can’t stop shaking my head. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? This, of course, is the son of Billy Graham and “Christians” all across the country will take his words as an OK to accept INSURRECTION in our nation’s Capital. It appears there’s a good chance I will practice my Christian beliefs in my own home after this is all over – because, I really don’t want to be associated with the people who think such STUPID thoughts as Mr. Graham – who, certainly SHOULD know better. I great reason why our founders were adamant in keeping the “church and the state” separate. Holy heresy!

I can’t stop there. As much as I “get” people who don’t know any better making some kind of comparison with our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, who has LIED something like 30,000 times since taking office, who has been accused of sexual assault by over two dozen women, who LIED his way out of the DRAFT back in the 60’s, who’s violated one law after another since taking office (and, of course, before), who’s been coddling dictators around the world, etc. etc. and Jesus Christ – Franklin Graham? Is he completely NUTS or is he relying on individual 1 supporters for his income? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Once again for my lazy choice to skip re-reading and editing!

Corporate America appears to have found “religion” and the reports are MANY of the large donors of the republican party have decided to pull their funding from the 150, or so, members of the republican party who stood in the Chambers of Congress and objected to the “free and fair elections” in Arizona and Pennsylvania, in essence, attempting to “overthrow” our election. Yikes! These people – meaning the republicans – are likely heading into panic mode. “How will they be able to run for re-election?” This is really a sad day in America – all these people who I’ve suggested have volunteered to spend their days in the history books next to both individual 1 and Benedict Arnold. OK, I know you’ve figure this out – when I called it a “sad day” it was, well, a joke. I always have to explain to people when I’m joking.

So, when I read about this stampede of Corporate funding exiting the republican thugs they’ve (the corporate world) been funding since, well, before Ronald Reagan (Read “Evil Geniuses” by Kurt Andersen – a book every adult American SHOULD read, in my view, but it’s a very “college level” of reading – probably a book for University Political Science and/or history classes) I couldn’t help but think – when are they going to take the next step and STOP funding outlets like Fox “news,” “Newsmax,” Breitbart and OAN if they’re providing funding for them. In fact, they should pull funding from any outlet which is spewing right wing hate MISINFORMATION. It doesn’t take long, once you log into Fox or Newsmax to realize the LIES are coming “hot and heavy.”

So, here’s where we are. Individual 1’s supporters have assaulted our nation’s Capitol Building in a manner not seen for over 200 years. Individual 1 has made it clear he feels not a bit of remorse for this INSURRECTION where, so far, six people are DEAD and 14 members of the CAPITOL police are hospitalized. After watching the thugs (including members of “The Oathkeepers”) pull a police officer down the Capitol steps BEATING his apparent “lifeless” body with the flag POLES they were holding – that officer possibly being Brian Sicknick the first officer to lose his life in the assault. Honestly, it didn’t surprise me our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president felt no remorse and continues to claim there was nothing wrong with his inflammatory remarks ginning up the crowd to attack the Capitol Building. He MUST be IMPEACHED once again and let these republicans in Washington DC decide who’s side they’re actually on.

And, I’m not suggesting everyone should be a “democrat.” For heaven’s sake, despite the fact I have been voting for democrats (mostly) for the past few years and that democrats THINK I’m a democrat, I’ll be an independent as long as I’m able to vote. Would I consider voting for a socially LIBERAL and fiscally CONSERVATIVE republican – if somehow we could purge the republican party of these right wing white nationalists – the answer would be absolutely. It just doesn’t appear it will happen anytime soon. Most republicans (and, by the way, I checked) who are “on the record” either are suggesting “impeachment would be divisive” or they haven’t said anything. That actually makes me MORE angry. Divisive? PPPPlease!

Here’s what’s been divisive. Just think back to the previous couple of months and consider what, even people like me have been saying, has been public knowledge. This ASSAULT was no surprise – what WAS a surprise was the EGREGIOUS lack of security to protect that Iconic building and I have to wonder what roll individual 1 and the “boot lickers” he’s put in place in the various agencies since he LOST the election (by OVER 7 MILLION votes) in preventing the security warranted as Mike Pense was certifying Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States. Individual 1 called him “sleepy Joe,” but, since the election we’ve ALL seen the competence which has been missing for the past FOUR years. There is a DEADLY virus spreading RAPIDLY in America, by the way, and our Justice Department really does need to be “cleansed” of the remnants of the MAGA crowd. There really is a WAR going on in this country and it’s not overseas – it’s right here at home.

The plan of the INSURRECTIONISTS is to return to D.C. (and the Capitals of all 50 states) to disrupt the inauguration of Biden/Harris – apparently, they really do want a “civil war” – and, there’s going to be something like 15,000 National Guard troops in DC this week as the thugs start arriving. They continue to “conspire” online – only, I believe the FBI is a bit more “on their toes” after what happened on the 6th of January, 2021 (Remember that date) but the insurrectionists have vowed to come with their weapons. (Of course, many were armed with automatic weapons on the 6th as well as with bombs/bomb materials) I believe MANY of these THUGS are former members of our military – which would make them more dangerous than the old codgers who simply got sucked in because they watch Fox “news.”

I thought to myself, where are the images of all the people who the FBI is attempting to identify posted on the internet, so I decided to take a look. I clicked on one site after another and there were not images, until I got to one – which, of course, I didn’t read the IP address as I was clicking on the article’s heading, and there were a bunch of pictures of some of the most egregious offenders in the INSURRECTION. So, I started reading the article and I soon realized I was on a site, the “dailystormer.com” which was viewing the INSURRECTIONISTS as “patriots” who had been, essentially, thrown “under the bus” (my characterization) by individual 1. I won’t go into all the detail of what was written, but there was a world map showing the countries which don’t have an extradition treaty with the United States presumably suggesting to those who might be attempting to elude authorities where they might go.

The article, which I came to understand was pro INSURRECTIONISTS, was pointing out to all the people in the photos the FBI has published in an attempt to identify these people (and, it pointed out most will be easily identified by technology related to their driver’s license photos) that individual 1, himself, made an executive order during the Black Lives Matter protests following the LYNCHING (again, my characterization) of George Floyd that anyone defacing federal property is subject to imprisonment for 10 years. There was nothing on this site in relation to the impending “INSURRECTION” planned for this next week (rumors are the insurrectionists will start arriving in Washington on January 16th) and the site was careful to eschew any suggestion of violence. It appeared to me the site was another right wing site where the INSURRECTIONISTS were referred to as “patriots,” but it was the first article I could find where the photos of those being sought out by the FBI were visible.

Today, January 12, 2021 was the day individual 1 came out of his hiding place (the “White House”) in order to head to Texas in order to convince someone, obviously not me, his “wall” is an “accomplishment” – apparently, he actually got 47 miles more than existed when he took office constructed. Did Mexico pay for those 47 miles? Likely not! In fact, I believe those miles of his “fence” were paid for by funds which were originally intended for our military. Regardless, as he was leaving D.C. he suggested “All the commentators are saying what I said was totally appropriate.” Well, obviously, our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING (by January 13, 2021 he’ll be the ONLY president IMPEACHED twice – in American history) president is watching Fox “news,” “Newsmax,” QAnon???? Who knows, but the information he’s getting is, well, absurd.

I’ve been writing for four years now about how PATHALOGICAL Liars actually begin to believe their LIES as the words trickle off their tongues and, clearly, that’s where our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president finds himself. Here’s the issue with me, how can so many Americans be STUPID enough to actually fall for his LIES. And, of course, reports are his narcissistic self needs the adulation so much he actually was enjoying the INSURRECTION because his twisted mind was saying to himself “These people love me.” Of course, that was a couple hours before he “threw them under the bus” when he (correctly) pointed out a bunch of them are looking at significant JAIL time! In fact, it was his own executive order making that so, for many of them – those who may end up the lucky ones! (Sedition is a much more serious CRIME! That would mean you’re a TRAITOR!)

Reports are that many of those in the so-called “MAGA” crowd are either current or former members of the U.S. military – which, I suppose, is the ultimate “consequence” for the ILLEGAL invasion of Iraq back in 2003 triggering military confrontation which continues to this day and brings home soldiers who, at a high percentage, are suffering from PTSD and, in many cases are unable to find any kind of good paying job. I mean, our streets are still full of homeless Viet Nam Vets and, to me, Iraq was simply “Deja Vu all over again.” However, turning on our government in a violent manner is unquestionably NOT OK and, sadly, it appears this is not going to end well for any of us. (It turns out one of the INSURRECTIONISTS was a two time gold medal winning Olympic Champion. Yikes!)

The underground internet “chat rooms” – again, for me this is all “second hand,” are full of disenchanted MAGA supporters who still haven’t got the message our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president has already thrown them under the bus and republican members of Congress will be doing the same as the days go by – all these people will be desperately attempting to save their own ……………….. (fill in the blank). We’ll see if their right wing “echo chamber” follows suit – which will depend on the corporate money drying up there as well. I can guarantee you, as soon as Sean Hannity is as toxic as individual 1 he’ll be looking for a new job – and, he’ll be somewhat in the same place in our society. Most Americans don’t want their government overrun by INSURGENTS. Despite our invasion of Iraq, they don’t like it when we look like Iraq.

To me, just as the right wing media needs to be purged of the INSURRECTIONISTS (like I’ve witnessed on Fox and “Newsmax”) so does our military and police forces. We can’t possibly have “equal justice under the law” with a bunch of white nationalists encamped in our military or our police. All these people take an OATH to defend the constitution and if that OATH means no more to them than it does to individual 1 they need to be exposed and removed from their jobs – whether it be in the military or the police. Clearly, there were MANY “off duty” members of various Police departments around the country involved in the INSURRECTION with investigations ongoing. For example, did they enter the Capitol Building? If not, what else did they do while this was going on? Did they try to stop anything or anyone? People DIED, bombs were placed outside both the RNC and DNC headquarters – which SHOULD tell republicans something, right?

I’ll end this rant by saying to those who have been supporting er ENABLING individual 1 for the past four years – “You don’t get to have it both ways.” Don’t tell me you’re a “patriot” as you’re trying to overthrow our legitimate government. Those of us who stomached our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president for the past four years are NOT the British. The Revolutionary War happened OVER 240 years ago. You DO’N’T get to call yourself a “revolutionary” because more people voted for the person you wanted to LOSE. I have to say, that’s been pretty much normal for me over the past 52 years of my voting life (The voting age was 21 when I voted for the first time). Not once did I feel the need to revolt. Yes, I was “revolted” when someone as ill-suited to be president as individual 1 was “elected” – and even more so when I realized it was the Russians who “took him over the edge” in the election – but, all I did was pay attention, read as many books as I could, and relay the information here – never did I consider an armed attack on our nation’s Capitol.

I’ve listened, today, to one republican member of Congress after another who participated in causing these INSURRECTIONISTS to believe the election was stolen – when they KNEW otherwise, but didn’t have the GUTS to say so – because they’ve lived in FEAR of a mean “tweet” coming from individual 1 – saying, we SHOULDN’T impeach individual 1 because it will create more “division.” Honestly, I think some of them are as STUPID as the people who stormed the Capitol Building. That line of thinking, of course, makes no sense whatsoever. That “division” they’re talking about is the result of the previous four years of their complicity in individual 1’s incompetent administration.

For heaven’s sake, another 4200 Americans DIED today from Covid-19 and the issue of masks continues in the chambers of our nation’s Capitol. The division in this country will subside once many of those who voted to contest the voters of Pennsylvania and Arizona are GONE. The division will subside when ENOUGH of the INSURRECTIONISTS are locked up behind bars with sentences which will prevent them from further attacks on our government for MANY years to come. The division in this country will subside when the outlets like Fox and Newsmax, etc. have been stripped of the corporate funding which has allowed seditious commentary on a regular basis for as long as I can remember. It will end when people like Rush Limbaugh have lost their platform to constantly LIE to their audiences. That’s when it will subside.

The democrats in Congress (and any republicans who wish to join them) have been tasked with following their oath of office, to “Defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.” Individual 1’s SECOND IMPEACHMENT is a first step, we’ll see if democrats have the guts to sanction some of their own Congressional members (Yes Senators Hawley and Cruz and all the others who challenged our “free and fair” elections that means you) after the “smoke” clears from the IMPEACHMENT and we find out if INSURRECTION is a high enough CRIME or MISDEMEANOR for the Senate to CONVICT individual 1 and remove him from office. Seriously, if this is not enough, then, as we said after the first time, when? Stay tuned……………..

Final Thought: If individual 1 is actually CONVICTED by the Senate and they vote to prevent him from ever again holding any public office he will leave office in a way that will almost make him a sad pathetic figure. His “empire” appears to be crumbling as he’s about to “go out the door.” His business is facing a mountain of debt and he’s likely, along with his family, to be considered toxic pretty much outside of Mar a Lago and the right wing chat rooms which somehow manage to survive all of what is coming “down the pike” in the next few months. Whether or not individual 1 faces CRIMINAL charges once he’s out of office – which, I believe will be LESS likely if he’s CONVICTED by the Senate – I believe he’ll be struggling to maintain his business “empire.” There appear, now, to be NO banks which will “touch him” and he’s got approximately, according to reports, $400 MILLION coming due in the next couple of years.

I believe MANY more than myself, now, view him as a “crime boss” and there’s going to be many investigations – involving him and his children – regardless of pardons. I can’t help thinking back to his first year in office when I suggested there would come a day when he would “rue the day he chose to run for president.” I thought that day had arrived long ago – and, I might be right – but, certainly it’s here now. Every thing he has is the result of his ability to CON people or INTIMIDATE people or CHEAT people or ?????? The republicans who “hitched their wagon” to this DEPLORABLE man, essentially, made a “deal with the devil.” The “deal” is coming due!

Once again, I’m publishing without re-reading and editing. I apologize for my laziness. However, I’m already well into the next rant!

I’ve been saying for four years it appears individual 1 believes he’s “untouchable” because he does his ILLEGAL activity right out in the open, publicly. He asked the Russians to “find the missing emails” in public with the reporters’ cameras in his face, he threw the intelligence community “under the bus” standing next to Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, he repeatedly OBSTRUCTED Robert Mueller’s investigation on national TV and Twitter, he solicited the help of the Ukrainians and Chinese to help him in 2020 on the lawn of the “White House,” he actually asked the “Proud Boys” (who he ridiculously claimed, “who are they?”) to “Stand back and Stand by” during a presidential DEBATE no less, AND he urged his white nationalist/supremacists followers to “go to the Capitol” and with dog whistles, in essence, take care of Mike Pense so he couldn’t certify the election. To him, Pense is the “traitor.”

He’s violated campaign finance and voter fraud laws from the days of his original campaign. His phone calls to various republican officials in states individual 1 LOST to his dismay were ILLEGAL as were his payments to Stormy Daniels AKA Stephanie Clifford and another one of his female victims he had an affair with while his final son was a baby, all this just prior to the 2016 election which are the reason he’s called individual 1 on my site. I would guess there are still MANY Americans who don’t understand the reality “we the people” are dealing with. All you had to do was look at the clothing of those who were storming our nation’s Capitol Building to realize what all those “Christian” supporters of individual 1 have aligned themselves with. It’s DEPLORABLE!

To make matters worse, if you’ve been paying attention, these thugs are not going to be “less divisive” if democrats don’t IMPEACH individual 1 for a second time – which should have been done long ago – blocked only by chicken s@#t republicans in the Congress. For heaven’s sake, there were close to 150 of them LYING about the results of the election between the Senate and House on January 6th, 2021 – the day which will live in infamy. To me, every last one of them is culpable for what happened and SHOULD have forfeited their right to represent their constituents in the Congress. Hyperbole? Not on your life.

Read the constitution, there is a section (3) of the 14th amendment which says: ” No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” Case closed!

These members of Congress SHOULD be expelled. Of course, republicans like to talk about the constitution, they just don’t want to live by it – even though their OATHS are given to defend it against all enemies “foreign and domestic.” Well, is anyone wondering whether these insurrectionists are “domestic enemies.” Please, don’t give me that argument they’re simply “protesters.” These people are TRAITORS to our country and SHOULD be removed TOMORROW! Of course, we know they’ll be acting like this never happened “sooner rather than later.” It’s up to “we the people” to prevent them from getting away with it.

Individual 1’s right wing “troops” are planning a LOT more insurrection and I’m guessing it’s actually going to be much MORE violent. Reports are they are planning ARMED attacks on all 50 “State houses” in addition to Washington DC between now and Biden’s inauguration. I’m concerned about the health of our President elect and Vice President elect. Do you think if something happened to them that would get the republicans’ attention? Of course, Mike Pense will be at the inauguration and individual 1’s insurrectionists are out to cause him retribution because individual 1 put much of the blame on “losing” the election because he didn’t do what he couldn’t do, but, hey, why would that make sense to the IDIOTS who are loyal to our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING (and, soon to be IMPEACHED the second time) president or to he, himself? It must be said again, IDIOTS!

These people have been BRAINWASHED. Anyone who’s not lost their minds and has been paying attention to all this, KNOWS the right wing “echo chamber” (See: NAZI style propaganda scheme) has been pushing this FASCIST agenda on our airwaves for decades now. This right wing white nationalist “wave” has been building for years with white people in America who are unable to “grasp” they’ve benefited from “white privilege” their entire lives. They operate in an ecosystem of FEAR and ANGER and they are susceptible to the most ridiculous conspiracy theories. There were actually people in the insurrection carrying signs which read “Save the Babies” while wearing clothing with the “Q” somewhere on their clothing. And, no, the democrats are NOT “eating babies.”

Now, a bunch of them are pushing the “conspiracy” there was a larger impact on the previous election by “foreigners” than what actually happened in 2016. We KNOW the Russians have been FEEDING these “wingnuts” misinformation since earlier than 2015 but we also KNOW they got help from individual 1’s campaign in 2016 via the Cambridge Analytica STOLEN Facebook data which was shared with them. Honestly, if there’s some actual proof foreigners were involved in this election it absolutely SHOULD be investigated. Here’s the deal, if it happened, our intelligence community would KNOW. and it should be investigated. The reality appears to suggest otherwise as individual 1’s own head of cybersecurity stated this was the most secure election in the history of this nation. (Of course, individual 1 FIRED him within days – which pretty much says it all) If you’re an individual 1 supporter and you believe this stuff, all I can say is “get your head our of……………….” OK, you know the rest.

Sadly, a couple weeks ago I started referring to these supporters of individual 1 as “STUPID.” Well, if you’ve been watching the insurrection you see STUPID personified in the invaders of the Capitol Building. These people were NOT shy about showing their names and many of them have been very easy to identify. A group of the so-called “Oathkeepers” marched in formation through the crowd into the Capitol Building and most of them are KNOWN extremist “white nationalists.” As of tonight (1/11) around 100 of them have been arrested. Interestingly, individual 1, himself, after sending his goon squads to Portland, Oregon made an executive order that anyone who invades or damages Federal property are subject to 10 years in prison. There’s a bunch of the insurrectionists who are looking at individual 1’s “pet law” among the other charges they may be facing. And, of course, at least ONE Capitol Police officer has been MURDERED. Apparently, there are 14 still in the hospital.

If you saw the THUGS beating a Capitol Police officer with the handles of their flags including one guy with an American flag as they were dragging his body down the steps of the Capitol Building. I haven’t heard yet if that’s the officer who was MURDERED. I have seen the video of this disgusting act multiple times and the faces of those doing the beating should be easily, at a minimum, put out on the internet to identify them. Additionally, it appears there may have been members of the Capitol police force who were sympathetic to the insurrectionists and did really STUPID stuff – including helping some of them find “hard to find” places in the building.

Speaking of STUPID, it’s being reported individual 1 just can’t stop himself from attempting to cause someone to OVERTHROW the Georgia election. He’s attacked the Secretary of State, the governor, and the lead investigator who was overseeing the hand recount of all the ballots. Now, apparently, he has FIRED the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Georgia and he’s installed one of his “lackeys” who has been ordered to “find the fraud” in Georgia which, so far, NO ONE has been able to find. Here’s the fraud in individual 1’s eyes – if you haven’t figured it out yet. A whole bunch of African Americans were allowed to vote. These are people who are FAR more “American” than individual 1 – but, he believes allowing them to vote was “fraud.” I’m absolutely certain our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president (soon to be the FIRST president IMPEACHED twice in our history) believes Stacey Abrams is an “enemy of the people.” I pray for her safety often!

Unfortunately, many people are feeling the necessity to remind us all “words matter.” Well, I can guarantee you individual 1 will NEVER “get” this, which is why it’s IMPERATIVE he be prosecuted once he’s out of office. Up until January 6th, 2021 I believe the idea of actually prosecuting him was part of a discussion where there were many discouraging it due to the resulting “division” it could exacerbate – but, now, it’s clear, the only way to “clear up” that “division” is going to be with force and, when possible the legal system. I believe the FBI will be much more closely monitoring the right wing militia groups who were the “engine” which drove this attempted OVERTHROW of our government. After individual 1 ginning up these STUPID people they were intending to “hang Mike Pense” and they actually had constructed a gallows with a noose. They thought that would stop the certification of Biden’s victory. This had been planned online for weeks!

Others have been throwing around seditious words which have helped to cause these STUPID people to feel a sense of victimization because there are too many people of color in America. And, make no mistake, that is their motivation. They are racists, virtually EVERY one of them. Rudy Giuliani – SHOULD be facing serious charges (individual 1 will likely pardon him before leaving town with his “tail between his legs”) – individual 1 Junior – SHOULD be facing serious FELONY charges for “inciting insurrection.” (Also, likely getting a pardon – plus that loud mouth woman who’s his “girlfriend”) – Josh Hawley, yep – his words were inciteful and, of course, Ted Cruz. Both of them, likely, would be able to avoid prosecution, but………………

Here’s the bottom line: This is NOT over! These thugs who were allowed to walk out of town and many of them who stayed home will be back. The attempt to interfere with the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could be very serious. According to online messaging (which I only get second hand because I never got sucked into “social media”) reportedly suggests there will be a large ARMED mob in D.C. beginning on January 16th. The National Guard has been called out for the inauguration and, all I can say is, I hope they’re armed with the intent to prevent this MOB from penetrating their boundary – one way or the other. Sadly, I believe the possibility for violence is way too high. The reality is, the Proud Boys’ fuhrer asked them to “stand by.” Well, it’s late so, “stand by…………………………….”

Final Thought: Today I manage to find a recording of a program on the Oregon Public Broadcasting system which was a short documentary on the White Nationalist group calling themselves “Atomwaffen” a full on Nazi outfit – which includes some active members of our military – and, it was startling. I’ve been writing about them because I didn’t discover their group until about 6 months ago – they have a cell in Idaho, a neighboring state to where I live which is an extreme right wing dominated state. Toward the end of this program the gentleman who put it together interviewed a man who is considered the originator of the American NAZI party many years ago. This person was quite evasive in what he said, other than to make sure it was clear he felt individual 1 was the way for the NAZI party/movement to gain the mainstream in American politics. He didn’t mince his words.

This reminded me of my experience reading “Rising out of Hatred” about a young man who grew up in the KKK movement – his father, Don Black, being the founder of the anti-Semitic and racist Stromfront.com website and former Grand Wizard of the KKK, his “god father” is David Duke – a site which is a main “home” of the white supremacist neo-Nazi movement. I still remember reading his words essentially making the same claim as the man in the OPB documentary (who, I can’t remember his name – if I was a real journalist – I’d watch it again) claiming individual 1 is their “vehicle” into the mainstream of American politics. They refer to him as their “fuhrer” – so, when I write that it’s NOT hyperbole – and it’s why I point out you can’t be an individual 1 supporter and then tell me, “what me, a racist?” PPPPlease!

One more thing: There has been video of republicans in the “safe harbor” place members of Congress were taken to protect them from the MOB refusing to wear masks. The Capitol physician warned yesterday that members of Congress were susceptible to the Covid-19 virus because of this exposure in that room. Of course, these republicans have been attempting to IGNORE the virus and the republicans in that room seemed to be JOKING about being asked to do what they were, essentially, required to do. Well, sure enough, one of the representatives from my state, Pramila Jayapal has now tested positive for the virus and, of course, she was in that room. I pray she will get the “good” dose of the disease and NOT the “bad” dose.

I play golf with a group of old “codgers” a couple days a week (for me, when it’s not raining) and, today, I was talking to one of the guys who is 83 years old – he plays in the rain, shine, or whatever (he was a Forest Service agent in Wyoming in his working life and spent weeks at a time in the wilderness on horseback so…… he’s tougher than me, I was a teacher – all of us are over 70, I”m ONLY 73 but…….) His son is a doctor who works in “Old folks homes” in California and, of course, he contracted the virus – many patients in the places he works have been dying of Covid – and, my friend told me his son said “This was the worst few days of my life” as he battled his way through the Covid-19. Thankfully, he made it, but over 3000 medical personnel across America have NOT. (My niece who works in the ICU of a University of Washington Hospital and she contracted the virus. Thankfully, she recovered after only mild symptoms of pneumonia. And, of course, individual 1 has been AWOL on Covid for well over 6 months!

OK, I have to add: There are multiple reports coming out about all the members of America’s police force who are either sympathetic to individual 1’s white nationalist goons plus there are even reports of members of the military, as I said above, sympathizing with the white nationalist movement. These groups like the Proud Boys are radicalizing unsuspecting dupes on the internet just as groups like ISIL does it in the Middle East. These people are not what you’d call “originalists.”

I had to come back and add something I forgot: As I watched individual 1’s insurrectionist MOB dragging the body of a Capitol Police officer – maybe the officer who died, Brian Sicknick? – down the stairs of the Capitol Building while BASHING him with the poles of their flags, crutches, punches, kicks, etc. I noticed at least TWO members of the group “The Oathkeepers” as being part of those BASHING the officer’s body – it appeared, at minimum he was unconscious. Murder? Very possibly.

My apologize again for publishing without re-reading. I’ll try to do so later, but sorry for the foopahs! As I always state, I taught my sixth graders better!

On Wednesday January 6th, 2021 as we saw at the nation’s capital individual 1 stoking his “uneducated voters” to storm the Capitol Building we were witnessing what Hillary Clinton referred to as “The basket of deplorables.” She was widely criticized at the time, and I know people who were like, “who me?” People who want the proverbial “cake and eat it to.” They want to support individual 1 and, at the same time say, “What, me a racist?” And, then with an incredulous look on their face have the gall to say, “I’m no racist.” That’s coming across to me similar to individual 1 claiming, “I’m the least racist person you know.” Bull Pucky to all of it!

It’s hard for me to stop thinking about what happened in our nation’s capital on the 6th of January, 2021. This morning I woke up at 4:30 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking of what it would be like to be a person of color in this nation, KNOWING this RACIST mob is still on the loose with plans to “take back their country” continuing – despite the blowback from their attempt to overthrow our government this past week. Reports on the “internet” are that these thugs will be back in D.C. on January 17th with their “muskets,” as one of them was quoted, as he fled the Capitol Building on the sixth.

And, make no mistake what they mean when they say “we’re going to take back our country.” This has been apparent to me since the days following the election of Barack Obama when people like Chuck Norris were talking about all the “cells” of – essentially, White Supremacists – located all across the country who were prepared to “take our country back.” Since that day I’ve seen Mr. Norris connected to right wing political campaigns with candidates who were pushing the same disgusting agenda coming from individual 1 – they just weren’t as obscene as our now IMPEACHED (soon to be for the second time) so-called two time popular vote LOSING president – so the White Supremacists like the “Proud Boys,” the “3%ers,” and all the others latched on to the leader of the Birther movement and, well, here we are.

Here’s what might be the most egregious part in all this. There are a BUNCH of cops who are part of the so-called MAGA movement. There were AT LEAST two cops, for example, from Seattle, Washington who FLEW to Washington DC on their days off to participate in the ransacking of our Nation’s Capitol Building. Hopefully, they’re NOT cops anymore – hopefully, they were FIRED immediately when their superiors discovered they are insurrectionists. Let’s face it, those who chose to join this crowd KNEW ahead of time what was planned. As individual 1 said several times prior to the INSURRECTION was “It’s going to be wild.” I don’t do “Social Media,” but, reports from people who do, have stated the “messages” claiming the INSURRECTION was the goal for WEEKS before January 6th.

I’ve now heard a report there was a secret service agent who was removed from the service in order to accept a position in individual 1’s administration. Now, they’re talking about putting him back in the Secret Service. I would say, NO WAY! Again, it’s time “we the people” say, NO to “having your cake and eating it to.” If this person chose to be part of individual 1’s administration I would NOT trust him to protect Joe Biden. If you didn’t notice, there were several members of the Capitol Police who were, essentially, acting as if they were “buddy buddy” with the INSURRECTIONISTS. Taking “selfies” with them as they were TRESPASSING in the Capitol Building. Possibly, giving them a “map” of the place.

There are a lot of cops who “need to go” in order for people like me to think “we the people” are making the “change we can believe in.” There are TRAITORS now, spread all around the country, because they were allowed to simply walk away from what they did on the 6th of January, 2021 and, sadly, it appears many of them are cops or, worse yet, members of the military. Of course, there are TRAITORS right inside our Congress and those of us out where I live can only speculate on who they are and who the worst of them are.

I’ve found it interesting the editorial boards of the newspapers of the states of both Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are calling on them to resign or be “expelled.” And, I’ve already suggested people like Matt Gaetz – who stood in the House and attempted to blame the uprising on “Antifa” – along with both Jim Jordan and Devin Nunez – who just received individual 1’s “presidential medal of freedom” (Yikes! Kind of like all the pardons) are partially responsible for what happened on the 6th of January, 2021! I’d say, bye bye to the bunch of them.

Honestly, there ultimately becomes a point when these people have to decide whose side they’re on – and, Gaetz already has made it clear where he’s coming from. Some more names off the top of my head, Mo Brooks, bye bye, Louie Gohmert, bye bye, and, of course, there were 138 republicans in all who voted against the ELECTED electors from Pennsylvania. And, this was AFTER the Capitol Building had been breeched and every last one of them had to hunker down to avoid the wrath of the invaders. (Although, I have to wonder if people like Gaetz didn’t want to go out and join in “the fun.”)

I’m so fired up about all this I can’t stop writing, despite the carpal tunnel syndrome in BOTH OF my wrists – soon to be surgically repaired. Likely, I’m making that worse. But, when I listen to some of the republicans rationalizing why they don’t think individual 1 should be IMPEACHED (again!) I just want to gag. What they’re really saying is they’re STILL afraid to stand up for our constitution even in the face of a TRAITOROUS president. There appears to be nothing, for some of them, which can cause them to find their own moral compass – even as they’re accusing individual 1 of not having one.

And, some of them are getting the “treatment” from this VILE group of “deplorables” as they try to have it both ways. Take Senator Lindsey Graham, for example – in my mind one of the MOST deplorable members of the Senate (after Cruz and Hawley). He decided to stand up in the Senate chamber and say, “enough is enough” and claim, essentially, he’s through supporting individual 1. He’s been one of the chief “lap dogs” for the past four years – even though he clearly knew better – so, as he’s leaving town at the airport he got a good dose of “MAGA” harassement Individual 1’s supporters were NOT at all nice to Mr. Graham. (The TV coverage I saw had several “bleeps” in it – if you know what I mean.

Also, I don’t believe individual 1’s “orchestrated” video, designed to save his own ass – which, by the way, won’t in the least bit work – he instigated an INSURRECTION of the nation’s government – ie a coup d’etat. You can’t just say “oops” and then start BLAMING – which is the MO of maybe “the most narcissistic person you’ve ever known.” So, individual 1 BLAMES his followers for their VIOLENCE and says they’re going to have to face accountability. OK, on that, I can agree with him. But, just stop and think for a minute how they will respond to that video. They’re scattered all around the country and the man who urged them to overthrow our government (which would have included, had they succeeded, with LYNCHING Mike Pense) is now saying “naughty, naughty.” This is typical individual 1 and maybe even his cult will be able to understand what a USER he is.

Here’s another “jewel” I heard about today. There’s a photo of what looks like someone in military “garb” walking across the chairs in the House chamber with a bunch of “twist ties” in his left hand. These are the “ties” cops use when they make multiple arrests – securing the VICTIM’S hands behind their backs. Well, what do you think he intended? I’ve heard this guy is an active member of our Military. That needs to end ASAP. I also have to add, I’m “up to here” (hand next to my neck) with all these people who are suggesting democrats shouldn’t IMPEACH individual 1 for a second time because “There’s only 11 days left until he’s gone” and it will just make matters worse. To that, I say “hogwash!”

I’ve been saying this for OVER ten years – this is a WAR for the heart and soul of America. These insurrectionists were allowed to simply walk out of town, there were thousands of them. Just as Kyle Rittenhouse was allowed to walk out of Kenosha, Wisconsin after MURDERING two people and wounding a third – with his long gun wrapped in his arms – and directly past observing police officers. Some people just seem hard headed and don’t “get” what is happening.

As I’ve said, I don’t do “social media” but even I know the right wing militia groups all across this country are planning the “second civil war.” If you don’t understand their motivation you’ve got or had your “head in the sand.” This is ALL about race. These are all white nationalist/supremacist groups – period, full stop. They range from “neo-Nazi” to FULL blown “Nazi” groups. I’ve been saying for years the right wing in America long ago adopted the “Big Lie Theory” of the Third Reich and Joseph Goebbels and they use “social media” to “radicalize” unsuspecting dupes (individual 1’s “uneducated voters”) into joining their carnage. It’s really pretty sad, but it’s also really serious.

Democrats now have control of the government, be it by a “razor” thin margin and it’s imperative this ASSAULT on our nation does NOT go unpunished. Individual 1 should face charges of Sedition, Insurrection, or Treason – me, not being a lawyer, I’m not certain the exact statute. He ALSO should face FELONY charges for his attempts to BULLY election officials in Georgia (and, likely, elsewhere) to change the result of their election results – making online and public comments putting the safety of election officials in jeopardy. That’s for starters.

We also KNOW there were a “plethora” of members of the Proud Boys, the “Oathkeepers,” The so-called “Boogaloo Bois” ransacking the Capitol Building – they SHOULD be held legally accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The head of the Proud Boys didn’t make it to the rally because he was arrested on his arrival to D.C. and charged with crimes from his previous “visit.” He also was carrying two high powered ammo magazines – ILLEGALLY into the nation’s capital – which, by the way, was a violation of his parole from the LAST time he was incarcerated. He should get NO mercy in the prosecution of the FELONY charges he now faces.

Backing off from IMPEACHMENT by the democrats would solve nothing other than to further the impression by so many they are impotent and gutless. It will be the republicans on the “spot” after the IMPEACHMENT because, of course, they’ll let the “clock” run out so that individual 1 will think he’s going to, once again. avoid accountability. I’m saying it again, that would be an EGREGIOUS mistake. And, backing off because “we the people” are afraid of these right wing mobs is the OPPOSITE of how they should be treated. They’re a bunch of BULLIES who’ve had enough money to buy the military style automatic weapons which SHOULD have been BANNED years ago. The FEAR of America’s right wing has led to this precarious point in time and it’s time to draw clear lines.

And, yes, it is becoming more apparent our police departments are going to need a good “refresher” (for lack of a better word – I’m an old man). These members who support individual 1’s fascism should NOT be part of our police forces. It really is time for people to decide who’s side they’re on. Personally, I’m perfectly fine with “conservatives.” I believe it’s important for the republican part to be a viable representation of “conservative” values. But, it’s my belief the present makeup of that party knows NOTHING more about “conservatism” than maybe how to spell it. I think back to my days in college studying Edmund Burke, by many recognized as “The Father of Conservatism” and these people ransacking the Capitol Building or the 138 members of the republican House of Representatives plus the Eight members of the Senate who voted to overturn the “will of the people” after the INSURRECTION, to me, are NOT “conservatives.”

They are radical extremists. Some of the words coming from their mouths are simply “poppycock” – utter nonsense. I’ll harken back to Florida’s Mr. Gaetz having the nerve to stand in the House chamber after this invasion of the Capitol Building and place the blame on, yep, you guessed it, “Antifa.” These people are NUTS and apparently their supporters are as well, because it appears a bunch of them believe this nonsense. Of course, if you tune into Fox “news” you’re likely to see the same nonsense – STILL! I can’t stomach Fox so I’ll admit I’m speculating, but I cant imagine, for example, Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson admitting they were wrong or admitting their “base” just attempted a coup d’etat! NUTS I’m telling you!

And, of course, there was well OVER 100 of them in Congress spewing similar Bull S@#t! Late in the evening, during the ASSAULT on the votes of Pennsylvania, Connor Lamb, a representative of a district close to Pittsburgh called them out as LIARS – and, of course, they are LIARS – but, apparently, several of them took offense at someone using such a direct (and TRUE) TERM in describing them. From the accounts I read, some moved as if they were going to physically confront Mr. Lamb – until of course, they recognized there are former football players and members of the military who served in Iraq on the democratic “side of the isle.” Speaker Pelosi had to expel at least one of the republicans from the chamber. “We the people” should expel these people from Congress, but they’ve managed to create “gerrymandered” districts which makes it much more difficult. (And, of course, that says little for their voters, unfortunately)

To me, ALL Americans should take note, should take OFFENSE at what happened on January 6th, 2021 at our nation’s Capitol Building. It really says it all about individual 1. The great “success” of his term in office – is that he’s galvanized the wide ranging groups of white nationalist/supremacist groups which have infected our country. As I’ve said, these people are fascists and the despise “democracy.” Of course, America is a “democratic republic” which was built on the idea of the principle of “checks and balances.” Those of us who believe in our constitution will ultimately prevail in this INSURRECTION, but, trust me, it’s far from over. That’s exactly why those who are saying “don’t IMPEACH” individual 1 because it will just further inflame his “base.” From what I’ve read, it’s already “inflamed” into a burning fire and it needs to be “put out.” I’ll end this rant by reiterating – The republican party and individual 1 have built their power via the propaganda scheme of the Nazi’s of the Third Reich! Our main stream media should educate the American public on the “Big Lie Theory!”

Final Thought: Individual 1, undoubtedly, will be attempting to pardon his children and himself as he leaves town with his “tail between his legs.” (Apparently, this is the way republicans leave the “White House” – if you remember Bush/Cheney, well, they left a “mess” it just pales compared to this one) Individual 1 Junior has been busy attempting to instigate the “uneducated voters” of his father’s base as well. As I’m writing this Junior is sitting on the legal edge as well as his father. If you’ve noticed, we haven’t seen much of Jared Kushner or Ivanka of late – well, if you saw the mass of anti Semite apparel – much of it beyond disgusting – you might have a hint of why they’ve been (I don’t know for sure, but maybe “out of the country) because Kushner is practicing Jew – who, by the way, because of his association with individual 1 is, well, not that popular with many Jewish groups around the country – but, I digress.

I have no idea why, for example, Kushner and his wife would need pardons, but individual 1 junior, in my view, is really going to need one. From what I’ve seen he, along with, of course, Rudy Giuliani was working to inflame the INSURRECTIONISTS and, just as his father, he (and Giuliani) egged them on to attack our Capitol Building and then retreated to a room in the “White House” to watch the events unfold on TV. I did see video which seemed to suggest both father and son, among others in the “White House” were enjoying what they were seeing. I really did find it interesting it took over an hour to get authorization for he National Guard to be called in – on orders of Mike Pense. That’s another part of this which should be interesting once the “smoke clears” in a few days. Stay tuned…………………

OK, my ranting was bound to get to this. I’ve pointed out several times somehow I got on the mailing list of “Newsmax.com” and, occasionally, I’ll open one of their emails and read the article. Some have seemed reasonable, but from what I’d heard about “Newsmax TV” I finally had to check in. And, just as if I was watching Fox “news” I could only tolerate, well, less than one minute. Some guy was laying out the plans of the democrats to get rid of individual 1 and as much of the “America First” agenda as possible (presumably, he was talking about Congressional sycophants of individual 1 like Josh Hawley) because he was talking about Congress in general (much of what I heard was the talk about democrats going to IMPEACH individual 1 once again) and, naturally, the commentator just about caused me to “gag” right before I tuned out.

It was a woman, who I have no idea her name, but her commentary – as she set up the next section of her show – was about the “double standard” of calling these INSURRECTIONISTS well, insurrectionists! Of course, this was as opposed to the people committing the violence and destruction at the George Floyd protests as “protesters.” Of course, virtually NO ONE, in leadership, on the “left” called the people setting fires and breaking windows, etc. etc. as simply “protesters.” They were called what they are “criminals.” It’s just that the people storming the building looking for the Vice President after erecting a gallows and a noose with the purpose of executing him – well, that SHOULD be obvious – even to those who’ve willfully swallowed individual 1’s racist Bull S@#t! Personally, I’m really getting tired of these people.

I get in America we have “freedom of speech” and we have a “free press” – but, I don’t believe that is a mechanism to allow people on public platforms to LIE and obfuscate. First off, the violence and destruction at many of the “Black Lives Matter” protests was propagated by “insurgents” from the “Boogaloo Bois” network. Why do I say that? Well, for some reason after George Floyd was LYNCHED on video – which made it to virtually EVERY “news” outlet in America – I was searching the internet for information on the so-called “Antifa” based on something I’d heard, somewhere. What I found was, well, first Antifa isn’t a “thing” and second something much different.

I found what could only be described as a “call to arms” by various groups (probably, a better way to describe it would be “group members”) who were urging their members to go the “protests” and to take their arms with them. One of the things I heard mention was having HAMMERS – and, sure enough, the next night, I saw a video of a person dressed in black – supposedly to leave the impression he was part of “Antifa” walking along a city block in Minneapolis and breaking one window after another with his hammer in hand. Just kind of “bang, bang, bang.” Later on, I heard that person had been identified, arrested, and he was one of the so-called “Boogaloo Bois” which was the same group I’d read about just the night before.

I haven’t heard extended reports of who the perpetrators of the violence which occurred, and, by the way, was a small part of just about every one of the BLM protests – but, I believe much of it was by the “invaders” who are the same people who blame “Antifa” for everything. Hell, there were members of Congress (yes you Matt Gaetz – what a lowlife) blaming “Antifa” for the thousands of individual 1 supporters who INVADED the nation’s Capitol Building, KILLED at least one member of the Capitol Police, ransacked the sacred grounds of our Capital, and were there with the idea of overthrowing our government and somehow thinking they could make individual 1 “president for life.” These people are every bit as NUTSO as our IMPEACHED (apparently soon to be IMPEACHED again) so-called two time popular vote LOSING president.

Apparently, individual 1 thought he could pull this off. How many members of Congress would have had to be executed on the gallows they erected to pull this off? And, do you think the rest of us AMERICANS who are outraged at this RACIST Insurrection would have just said, OK? Do you actually believe the American military and the FBI and MOST police forces would have just said, OK you win? I understand their objective is “civil war” and they very well may be going to get their wishes – because a whole bunch of them were caught on camera and are known radicals and they’re going to be “hunted down” in the words of the D.C, U.S. Attorney 24/7 until they are “identified, found, and prosecuted.” Are some of them, as they’ve said, willing to go down in flames? Or, are they really just a bunch of cowards like their fuhrer?

If you were listening to individual 1 ginning them up – with the help of his son and a few members of Congress – plus, OF COURSE, Rudy Giuliani – the lawyer with the “evidence” which NEVER appears (just give me two more weeks and I’ll have it – kind of like individual 1 “In two weeks I’ll have a much better health care policy) there’s a lot of accountability to be had. Well, there was a lot of talk like, “I’ll be right there at the Capitol with you.” And, of course, our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president snuck back in his motorcade and back to the Oval Office so he could watch the proceedings unfold on TV. And, by all accounts, he was enjoying what he was seeing – apparently believing this would “stop the steal” as he’s been putting it. Of course, eventually Congress AND Mr. Pense resumed and Joe Biden was confirmed as the 46th President of the United State.

These right wing news outlets have MORE than their share of the culpability in all of this. Many of the people involved – as, sadly I’ve been pointing out are, well, tonight I’m feeling a bit too nice, let me put it this way – “not the sharpest tools in the tool chest.” They’re TOTALLY vulnerable to the BRAINWASHING they’re getting from Fox “news” (this has been going on for over 20 years) and, apparently now, “Newsmax TV.” This is not OK. This should NOT be considered “freedom of the press.” Sedition is about as SERIOUS a crime as you can commit in ANY country/government. Many of the people in the group who ransacked the Capitol Building actually believe individual 1 “won the election in a landslide” thanks to these “news” networks and an assortment of Congressional TRAITORS!

Every time something like this – well nothing like this has happened before – maybe in the history of the U.S., certainly NOT since the Civil War – I’m reminded of individual 1, soon after losing in the Iowa Caucuses back in the 2016 campaign – saying on national TV – “I love uneducated voters.” Well, of course he does, because they’ll believe anything. EVERY individual 1 supporter I know thinks he “tells the truth.” I’m not kidding. That’s why I’ve been using words like STUPID when ranting about this. I’ve lost my patience. The people storming the Capitol Building the other day are incapable of rational thought.

And, OMG – the ones with the big Q’s on their clothes – or the guy with the buffalo horns on his head and a Q tattooed to his mid section – are there any brain cells left at all? Apparently, the woman who was shot and killed by police as she was attempting to breech the room holding Vice President Pense was a QAnon fanatic. Now, we’ve got people with that “brainpower” in Congress. These next four years are not going to be easy – just like the past four haven’t – although, I’m guessing the next few years are going to require purging our nation of the hate groups like the “Proud Boys” – who, by the way, were leading the charge into the Capitol Building – and the other either neo-Nazi groups or like “Atomwaffen” a group – which, by the way, includes active members of the military, who are out and out NAZI’S. (hyperbole? Check out the initial page of their website)

Is it practical to IMPEACH individual 1 a second time? Probably not – conviction may still be a reach because we’ve got a bunch of COWARDS in the Senate’s republican caucus – although, I’d like for them to be forced to vote on it. Will individual 1 resign? Not likely, although, if Pense wants to live in infamy with the rest of them he could be the one doing the pardoning – I truly hope NOT! Is individual 1 liable to be prosecuted for insurrection, for being a TRAITOR? Very possibly. What he said to that crowd can NOT be taken back. His son, his son’s girl friend, Mo Brooks, Rudy Giuliani, ALL of them should be sleeping a bit loose for the next few days. Can you think of a worse offense than the attempted OVER THROW of our duly ELECTED government? I really don’t believe there is one!

As I’m writing this, there are 12 days left in individual 1’s reign and, as I’ll explain, his thug followers are claiming they’re not finished. I’m praying they are kept far enough away from the inaugural that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are safe. If you can’t tell, I don’t trust any of them. Today, at a press briefing Joe Biden was asked about individual 1’s “Tweet” that he wouldn’t be attending the inauguration. Biden’s response was, “well there’s finally something we agree on.” Here was my first thought: “Why would individual 1 “Tweet” that? Anyone who’s been paying attention knew our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president wasn’t planning to attend so, again, why the “Tweet?” Here’s my concern: “Is there something planned most people just wouldn’t pick up on?” Do you get my drift? There are acting members of the military – potentially expert marksmen – who are part of these neo-NAZI/NAZI militia groups who were part of the INSURRECTION on the 6th. Again, I pray nothing bad happens. Can “we the people” (and, of course, the participants on the 20th) be assured there were no turncoats in the security force at the Capitol Building on the 6th? I pray my thoughts are getting the better of me!

Final Thought: As I mentioned above individual 1’s “echo chamber” is already TWISTING the TRUTH – as they ALWAYS do – in regard to the attempted coup d’etat on January 6th, 2021 and many are discouraging democrats from “expeditiously” IMPEACHING him (for the 2nd time) because it would “further anger” his so-called “base” and, of course, my initial response to that line of thinking was “F” that. He instigated an insurrection of the Capitol Building of the United States of America and, naively (or COWARDLY – take your choice) the republicans in Congress, led by none other than soon to be “minority leader” (unfortunately still with the moniker “Leader”) Moscow Mitch, have planned to STALL the “trial” of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president until after the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

I’ve been pointing out for nearly TEN years this is a WAR for the heart and soul of America. One of my frustrations with Barack Obama was that I never felt he “got” this. To me, President Obama’s allowing GW Bush/Dick Cheney got walk away “scott free” was a huge mistake – partially making individual 1’s reign of terror possible. The inability of the Justice Department to stop some of these right wing neo-Nazi groups (ie “Proud Boys”) has been going on since the early days of Obama’s administration. People were just unable to visualize what happened this past Wednesday, January 6th, 2021 – “A day which will live in infamy.”

So, here’s something to cause you a bit of “pause” unless your one of the insurrectionists. The THUGS pushing their way into the Capitol Building who KILLED a Capitol Police Officer and were chanting they wanted to execute Mike Pense as a “traitor” were allowed to walk, ride, fly out of Washington D.C. “scott free.” And, now there are reports circulating on the internet there’s a plan for a “re-enactment” on January 17th and who knows what will happen on January 20th? Individual 1 has these THUGS believing the election was “stolen” from him and many of them actually view themselves as “patriots” instead of INSURRECTIONISTS. If something happens again on the 17th or worse yet and God forbid on the 20th would the republicans still be giving their HOLLOW obfuscations designed to shed themselves from accountability – AGAIN! Kind of like their “trickle down” economics – how many times are “we the people” going to fall for their LYING? (I hesitate to guess, sadly)

If you were listening to/watching “Newsmax TV” today, well, you’d understand how some of these INSURRECTIONISTS would believe they did nothing worse than Black people protesting the LYNCHING of George Floyd or ………………………… fill in the blank of the Black person on the tip of your tongue MURDERED by police with NO accountability. The list of grievances of our Black brothers and sisters goes back to before the beginning of this nation and my understanding goes back to my college days in the 1960’s. It’s been shameful, and rest assured, the grievance of individual 1, the people who stormed the Capitol Building, AND those demagogic TV personalities on Fox “news” (yes, you, “Sean” and “Tucker” and others) and, maybe worse “Newsmax TV” is based on their FEAR they might, at some point in their lives, have to compete with a person of color for their job. It really is disgusting and SHAMEFUL!
