OMG, I can’t believe I’m going to write this. I actually look forward to listening to Liz Cheney these days. Remember, I’ve accused her FATHER on MANY occasions of authorizing WAR CRIMES and suggesting he should be held to account. She NEVER votes in Congress as I would – she didn’t even vote for the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill. Yet, every time I listen to her reference January 6th, 2021 I can’t think of ANYONE who “gets” what happened any better than her. I would love to hear what she thinks should be done to protect ALL the public servants who are REGULARLY receiving DEATH threats from right wing American fascists (er republicans).

For me, this gets me back to our Attorney General, Merrick Garland. I HAVE to believe there are already LAWS on the books which deal with the consequences for THUGS who feel emboldened to be THREATENING members of School Boards, Health care workers, Government employees – including members of Congress, Police Officers (Yes, there are TOO many members of Police forces who are sympathetic to right wing “militia” groups), etc,, etc. Mr. Garland AGGRESSIVELY enforcing our LAWS is simply a first step.

The bottom line is there is an organized MISINFORMATION network of media outlets which are brazenly pushing LIES to a large segment of our population. These outlets, like Facebook, Twitter, Fox “news,” Newsmax, OANN, and ever DARKER places on the internet, seem to be working overtime to turn America into a potentially FASCIST state which threatens anyone with violence who opposes their right wing views. Those who oppose individual 1 almost immediately begin receiving the VILE threats as if they’re the ones who are the TRAITORS – when, in reality, the definition of “TRAITOR” would fit perfectly with those who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 ALONG with those who INCITED them to attempt an overthrow or our ELECTED government, funded the INSURRECTION, organized it, etc.

This gets me back to Mr. Garland. As every day passes I’m getting the sickening feeling he’s one of those SPINELESS “progressives” I’ve been lamenting for the previous 15 years (or more). Why are all these people allowed to THREATEN violence against our public servants? Even those republicans who supported the “bipartisan infrastructure bill” are suddenly getting the “heat.” Why is all this OK? Does “free speech” include THREATS of violence? I mean, just the other day a sitting member of the republican party (albeit one of the two or three most pathetic) published an “anime” doctored to show him MURDERING Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez along with threatening an image of President Biden. Do we need one of the DERANGED members of the republican “base” to act on the suggestions of these thugs for something to happen to the original perpetrators?

Here’s why I’m concerned about AG Garland – as I’ve stated on this site before. He’s, so far, refused any actions against our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING (ex) president – which, in itself, seems CRITICAL to me. So far, crickets! How about the prosecution of Matt Gaetz who “allegedly” participated in the “sex trafficking” of a 17 year old young lady (I keep thinking, “I wonder if it’s taking this long because Roger Stone is involved as well”) – does Mr. Garland fear the backlash of “MAGA world” so he’s not going to indict Gaetz? The same question goes for these THUGS who continue THREATENING those who oppose individual 1? I hope I’m wrong, but the more time goes by the worst it’s going to get – and, if they fail to act, well, then our “nation of laws” very well could crumble.

I really get the feeling that Mr. Garland is wondering what he was thinking when he agreed to this new job – he had a very “peaceful” spot on the DC Court of Appeals. I mean, it’s been over THREE WEEKS since the Justice Department received the CRIMINAL referral for Steve Bannon, and, as with all the rest, “crickets.” And, of course, now there have been close to twenty other subpoenas coming from the January 6th Select Committee and if Bannon isn’t CHARGED – and SOON – Mr. Garland will have simply made things so much more worse – for those of us who’d like to see this republic to survive – and, at this point it’s not guaranteed because the timidity of those like Mr. Garland is CLEARLY emboldening those who attacked the Capitol and their followers. If Garland doesn’t charge Bannon, then the Committee might as well shut down – none of the subsequent people receiving subpoenas are planning to “show up.”

OK, I’m taking a big breath! Today a Grand Jury returned an indictment of Steve Bannon on TWO counts of “Contempt of Congress.” That COULD result in 2 YEARS in jail should he continue to refuse cooperating with the Select Committee on the INSURRECTION. Well, this could mean, “here we go.” There have been OVER 20 other subpoenas sent to various members of individual 1’s “inner circle.” And, keep in mind, it’s ALREADY been determined “executive privilege” isn’t going to work. A reminder: “executive privilege” has NEVER been able to cover up CRIMINAL activity.

I keep thinking back to the time of Richard Nixon. The process of “getting to the bottom” of what happened was excruciatingly slow. However, for anyone not around at that time, virtually EVERYONE who participated with Nixon in his attempt to CHEAT in order to “win” an election AND to go after his “enemies list” ended up in JAIL. It appears Bannon looks forward to spending a couple years in jail for his fuhrer, but what about all the others Congress wishes to speak with. Individual 1, as any mob boss would, will be making THREATS to anyone who cooperates as opposed to going to JAIL. Of course, will the judges overseeing the cases of these people who choose CONTEMPT provide them with maximum sentences? How serious does our Justice system actually consider this?

I keep wondering, what happens once people like Bannon complete their sentences? Can they be subjected to additional charges if they continue to refuse to cooperate? This all will be determined as we go forward, but keep in mind, in the previous 38 years there’s only been one other “CONTEMPT of Congress” charge – it happened during Reagan’s reign on America. That tells you all you need to know about individual 1: Over the past 38 years EVERY person who’s been called to testify before Congress have (at least) showed up. This is what you get when a MOB boss is “elected” to the Oval Office. But, as always, there’s MORE:

The ROT engulfing at least a third of our nation because of individual 1 goes well beyond anything which Nixon could have accomplished had he “gotten away with it.” And, keep in mind, in my view, until the day our TWICE IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING (ex) president is CHARGED for INCITING the INSURRECTION we have a long way to go. Not only do I believe that, but everyone else involved on January 6th, 2021 should be held to account, I also believe the FBI should be actively investigating the political THREATS coming at public servants all across this nation and PROSECUTING those making the THREATS to the fullest extent of the LAW possible. That is, IF we truly are a “nation of laws and not men.”

It should be CLEAR by now individual 1 is a DELUSIONAL, narcissistic, sick “puppy.” Yet. those in his CULT remain obsessed with turning America into a FASCIST state. And, I won’t again get into how words like “FASCISM” get thrown around with “impunity,” but suffice it to say if you actually know the definition of FASCISM you’d understand the democrats are as far from fascists as you can get. Giving a “mandate” to cause people to decide between their job or a “jab” is NOT fascism. There have been NUMEROUS vaccines I’ve been “required” to get in order to do things like – go to school – like join the military, etc. over the previous 74 years. Here’s the bottom line: individual 1 is a FASCIST! I’m OK if you simply call him a pseudo Mob Boss, OK! But, if you’ve decided you’re part of the CULT – that’s on you! By now, you SHOULD know better! Sadly, there’s a significant portion of America who qualify for the term (I hate) STUPID! Yikes!!!

Final Thought: I often talk about the republican obsession with PROJECTION and, almost every day, we’re seeing examples of this – like today when Marjorie Taylor Green was referring to the 13 House republicans who voted for the so-called “bipartisan infrastructure” bill (which almost ALL republican members of the House will be claiming credit for once the “ribbon cutting” begins) as TRAITORS. Usually she reserves that accusation toward democrats, but I guess this situation is “special.” Of course, when all is said and done in the investigation into January 6th, 2021 we’ll have a much better idea of who the “TRAITORS” really are. And, of course, the speculation is one of them will be – you guessed it – Marjorie Taylor Greene. Stay tuned………….
