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!

Many people are encouraging Congress to IMPEACH individual 1 once again and remove him from office “forth with,” but I believe that’s a pipe dream. While I’d love to see our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president removed from office TOMORROW, keep in mind there are still over 100 members of the House republican caucus who are continuing to “object” to the results of the 2020 election despite the insurrection of the Capitol Building in D.C. today instigated by individual 1. Removing individual 1 from office would REQUIRE a two thirds vote in the Senate and it’s questionable that it’s likely. For any possibility, I believe, we’d have to wait until Chuck Schumer takes the gavel of the Senate. But, we can hope!

I can say this, Mike Pense has moved up a notch in my book based on his fulfilling his DUTY to oversee the final stage of the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as president and vice president of the United States. I decided to watch the entire process which, of course, included the insurrection attempt by individual 1’s right wing QAnon like and militia type MOB’s attack on our nation’s capital, and Mr. Pense did his duty as he was expected to do so based on our constitution. Kind of refreshing, actually. I heard tonight Pense’s chief of staff was prevented from going to his office in the “White House” as our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president is apparently very angry with Pense for not finding a way to do what his MOB was trying to do and that was over throw the “will of the people.”

I would love to see Mr. Pense as our 46th president for the last few days of this term. (I’ve been surprised for years now as to why the republicans in Congress didn’t figure out Pense was a HUGE upgrade to their RACIST, misogynist, xenophobic, narcissistic “fuhrer.” Of course, this would require the Congress to meet my request with a sudden IMPEACHMENT of individual 1. If you’ve been on this site I haven’t been very complimentary of Vice President Pense over the past four years, but I did believe, at some point, republicans would have IMPEACHED individual 1 so that Pense could be their leader. I believe Pense would have had a much higher chance to win this previous election, but that’s a topic for another day. I believe Pense will be, in the minds of many RATIONAL republicans after January 20th to be the “front runner” for the 2024 republican nomination to run against Vice President Harris. Of course, to me, it’s foolish to think – for the reasons I just stated – to expect Pense to instigate the 25th Amendment. If individual 1 is to be removed from office it will require IMPEACHMENT!

I’m going to bed; Mike Pense just OFFICIALLY confirmed individual 1 LOST the election and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will take office at 12:01 PM on January 20th, 2021. Individual 1 will be very ANGRY at his Vice President because he’ll accuse him of being disloyal. This will be further evidence the person who today suggested individual 1 has LOST his mind is/was correct and that I’ve been correct for the past three plus years he’s a mob boss. Remember, insurrectionists, as they were leaving today – at least many of them – suggested they’ll return tomorrow with their muskets. Today, the traitors erected a gallows with a noose and, apparently, their plan was to “kidnap” members of Congress, bring them out of the Capitol Building, hold a “trial,” and then execute whomever they could kidnap. What do you think their message was with that action?

Does that, at all, remind you of the plan they had for the governor of Michigan? And, today a faction of this group was attempting to breech the governor’s residence of Washington state (where I live) and who knows how much more DAMAGE individual 1 can inflict in the next two weeks. Is our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president going to attempt calling out the military and instituting “marshal law?” That was Mike Flynn’s suggestion and, it appears to me, that would be the next part of his plan. Is individual 1 going to take this to the next level?

Should be interesting tomorrow when individual 1 starts “tweeting.” It won’t start until morning because “Twitter” has blocked his account for 12 hours due to his violation of their “rules” as he was instigating the people who were storming the Capitol Building. Individual 1 will NEVER concede he LOST the election and his future erratic behavior will be interesting. The question, for me, is the Congress willing to IMPEACH him once again – not only what he did today to encourage his supporters to storm the Capitol Building but when you think about his phone call to Georgia’s Secretary of State – he DESERVES to be held accountable. IMPEACHMENT would guarantee “we the people” would NEVER have to worry about him running for office again!

Well, it’s “tomorrow” and it appears the conspirators have vanished from Washington D.C. and I don’t know if individual 1 has his “Twitter” privileges back yet, but all day I was thinking about an article I read in “The Daily KOS” where the identity of a large number of the insurrectionists was published making me think it won’t be that difficult for the FBI and the Justice Department to HUNT down some of the violators of our Nation’s Capitol Building. Today, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia stated it will take up to one year to HUNT down the perpetrators of the violence in the Capitol Building but they are working “24/7” to identify those who were the trespassing insurrectionists.

Of course, the most egregious violator of our nation on Wednesday January 6th was individual 1. Undoubtedly, prior to being IMPEACHED (for a second time) should that happen, he will pardon himself. So, there lies the challenge of the next Attorney General, Merrick Garland, whether to indict our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president after, potentially, a second IMPEACHMENT? And, will the Senate actually convict individual 1? I was listening to those republicans who were willing to admit Joe Biden had actually won the election when they said things like, “While I wish the election had happened differently………………” (fill in the blanks) – I have to wonder if they still feel that way. I have to believe many if not MOST of the republican caucus in the Senate are relieved individual 1 will FINALLY be ‘OUT OF THERE.”

So, here we are, and if you happen upon this “diary in cyberspace” – however you get here – and, you’re a supporter of individual 1 all I can say is “I told you so.” In fact, I’ve been “telling you so” for four LONG years now. This is what happens when you find people sucked into a “cult of personality” and some of them just “continue marching on.” There are multiple calls for Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to RESIGN from their seats in the U.S. Senate – of course, they will refuse to do so, but they need to be SHAMED every day from now until they “get it” they are unwelcome aspirants for the republican nomination to replace individual 1.

There are some members of the U.S. House of Representatives who, I believe, SHOULD either be expelled, or at least censored – and, quite possibly you could just go down the list of the 138 who voted to overturn the results of the election even AFTER the attack on the Capitol Building – but, I’d start with people like Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz (who was blaming “Antifa” for the attack – apparently as delusional as individual 1) Devin Nunez, and, of course, maybe the STUPIDEST member of Congress Louie Gohmert. These people have been enabling individual 1 since the beginning and they are largely responsible in helping to foment the belief the election was “rigged,” right along with our IMPEACHED two time popular vote LOSING president.

I’ve been saying for years these people MUST be voted into the history books along side Benedict Arnold. (Go back and check the archives if you don’t believe me) Individual 1 is a TRAITOR and he’s officially attempted a coup d’etat in the United States of America. Had “we the people” voted to turn the House into the control of the democrats in 2018 just imagine what we’d be dealing with right now. I’ll say it again, 138 republicans in the House voted to overturn the results of the election in Pennsylvania. I’ll even add a personal touch to that FACT. Recently, I spent a couple months staying with my brother-in-law in Pittsburgh. I still remember all the political adds as Connor Lamb was running for his “seat” in the House. (Mr. Lamb is someone I admire – as an aside)

Pennsylvania is controlled by republicans in the legislative bodies and it was those republicans who set the rules for the election there this year – in the face of a global pandemic which, just yesterday, took the lives of OVER 4000 American lives – for the second day in a row. How could ANYONE question the legality of the vote in Pennsylvania – of course, individual 1 and his sycophants filed numerous LAWSUITS – frivolous ALL of them – which were, each one essentially, THROWN out of court. Still, 7 or 8 Senators and 138 members of the House voted to overturn the voters of the people of Pennsylvania.

There are actually some people who are lobbying democrats to refrain from IMPEACHING individual 1 for a second time because they’re worried about inciting his base – OK, “F” that – we’ve been listening to that line of logic for four years. It’s time for people, including republicans, to stop living in FEAR of individual 1’s “base.” We’re talking about people attempting (and, obviously willing to) overthrow the government of the United States. I’ve been writing for four years now these people are fascists in the same mold as those in the Third Reich back in the 1930’s in Germany. As far as I’m concerned, “F” them. If there has to be a “come to Jesus moment” with them, then so be it. That’s ACTUALLY why we have the police and the FBI and if these people really want a “race civil war,” well, let’s get on with it.

This group was led by the so-called “Proud Boys” who individual 1 prompted to “Stand by” in one of the presidential debates. Well, they did just that and I can guarantee you, many of those in the Capitol Building were members of that racist bunch and they’ll be easily identified. Their “leader” didn’t make it that far because he was arrested as he entered the Capital due to admitting on “social media” he was one of those desecrating the Black Churches in DC during their previous “protest.” And, of course, he was carrying loaded cartridges of Ammo which is ILLEGAL in DC along with the fact he’s a convicted felon (surprise surprise) and he violated his conditions of parole – so, he wasn’t one of the insurrectionists – possibly lucky for him, but I believe he’s going BACK to jail regardless. These are the people the so-called “conservative Christians” have chosen to align themselves with. Yuck!!!

How are these people going to respond when individual 1 is standing before a judge facing accountability? Honestly, I could care less. I still remember some of them, back in the 60’s when myself and MILLIONS of others were protesting the ILLEGAL war in Viet Nam, telling me to “love it or leave it.” Well, I would turn that back right onto them! America is the longest standing self governed people in the history of the world – and, individual 1 and his sycophants are NOT going to change that. Move over Benedict Arnold, individual 1 and his minions are soon to be joining you in the history books! “Period, full stop!”

The last thing I need to get off my mind is I can’t help but think of that smirk which is on Vladimir Putin’s face right now. His main goal in pushing individual 1 into the “White House” was to undermine our system of “free and fair elections.” Hopefully, we’ll at some point understand why individual 1 was so “buddy buddy” with Putin – what did the Russians have on him – I’m guessing it was the “tape” which was mentioned in the Steele dossier. Just imagine what someone, whoever has possession of that tape, could get for it. Of course, with most things associated with our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, it won’t be suitable for public TV. Yikes!!!

Final Thought: I live across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. I couldn’t help but think of individual 1 AND William Barr sending “unmarked” federal agents into Portland for a “riot” which was simply a Black Lives Matter protest which had been diffused by the local authorities down to about 2000 stragglers per day. Of course, the INVASION of these unmarked federal thugs further inflamed everything as they were, without cause, KIDNAPPING people off the streets, taking them to hidden places, and interrogating er attempting to intimidate them, then releasing them – pure strong armed gestapo tactics.

Compare that to what we saw on January 6th in Washington DC where the rioters were ginned up by individual 1 (and, apparently his son as well) where, as of this writing, there have been FIVE deaths, including one member of the Capitol Police. There MUST be accountability for those who instigated the insurrectionists which would include those members of Congress who were perpetuating the LIE that individual 1 was going to be president at 12:01 on January 20th, 2021. So far, from what I can tell, authorities have tracked down one of the insurrectionists, apparently in Arkansas, and he’s been ARRESTED and charged with at least 3 FELONIES. My hope is he gets several years to consider the wisdom of his choice to invade Nancy Pelosi’s office and desecrate it. The photo I saw was him sitting at her desk and pointing at his gun, stashed in his belt. So far, that gun hasn’t resulted in one of the felonies. Why did he think he needed to bring that? Stay tuned…………….. (hopefully, much more to come!)

As usual, I’m publishing without re-reading so I apologize for the foopahs! I taught my sixth graders better!

Is anyone even surprised the “basket of deplorables” who are key to individual 1’s base have now “breeched” the Capitol building in Washington D.C.? There are thousands of supporters of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president now either inside the Capitol building or just outside it in areas which are violations of the Capitol. Reports are the people are chanting that individual 1 won the election – now, who would be responsible for them believing that? I’m really wondering when there’s going to be some accountability for the lawlessness which is associated with our IMPEACHED (he should have been IMPEACHED once more after his ILLEGAL phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia) so-called two time popular vote LOSING president.

Gabriel Sterling, the election official in Georgia who has responded to the LYING of individual 1, has predicted if individual 1’s rhetoric didn’t change “someone is going to get shot.” Well, it appears that’s one of the things which has happened in today’s RIOT in D.C. As I wrote that word, riot, I couldn’t help but remember my acquaintance who is (somehow) a supporter of individual 1 predicting about a year ago that our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president would “win” in a “landslide” and subsequently we’d see “liberals rioting.” I told him, “The opposite is what is going to happen” and I now “I rest my case.” I even predicted it would be the “Proud Boys” (and other “militia types”) leading the way.

There are hundreds (maybe thousands) inside the Capitol building “protesting” the FACT Joe Biden will be the 46th president on January 20th and, I have to ask, “Where are the republicans who are “objecting” to Biden’s win in the “halls of Congress?” For example, where are Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley (and the other Senators objecting to the “will of the people)? Why aren’t they confronting the people who’ve broken into the Capitol building? Don’t they feel any responsibility for what is happening? Of course they don’t. These people let their words “fly” with no thought to the consequences of their words. Look at these people congregating on the Congressional grounds – I’ve been writing about them lately using the term, STUPID. If you’re watching on TV, just look into the eyes of some of the people walking past the cameras. (Of course, Cruz and Hawley were cowering in their offices during the coup attempt)

People are now asking for people to “tone it down” and, I have to add, whether you want to call it “toning down,” I’m going to continue speaking the TRUTH. These people in the Capitol building, to me, are un-American. They’re carrying a plethora of flags, including American flags as they’re desecrating our Capitol. As usual, I saw several confederate flags amongst the crowd. Here’s how I feel about this – if there aren’t a BUNCH of people ARRESTED during this breech of the Capitol I will be terribly disappointed. The picture of “Proud Boys” bashing in the doors of the Capitol Building in Salem, Oregon are still fresh in my mind – and, of course, I didn’t see reports of any arrests for their ILLEGAL behavior either. It appeared the officials were simply happy to get them to “go home.” Picture in your mind if all these people were Black.

Apparently, the authorities in Washington D.C. didn’t see the same pictures of what I saw in Salem to be, what looks like, surprised as these right wing thugs stormed the Capitol Building in our nation’s Capital. Honestly, this has been going on for years. I still remember Cliven Bundy and his son Ammon standing off federal agents back in 2014 who were attempting to “collect” the “collateral” (Bundy’s Cattle) due to Mr. Bundy’s refusal – for years – to pay the federal government grazing fees for running his herd on federal grazing lands. From someone who, at one point in life, was raising cattle – the $5 pre month (or something along those lines) is/was incredibly CHEAP! To me, the fact Bundy “got away with it” was a bad sign for things to come.

Well, as one might have expected, it was only a few years until Ammon was in a federal property in the state of Oregon “taking over” that property and initiating another standoff with federal troops. One of his comrades DIED in that protest, but he managed, once again, to “get away with it.” In case you don’t understand, this simply continues to embolden all these right wing wack jobs (the “basket of deplorables”) to continue bashing their way into wherever they decide they want to go. Today, it was like watching what I saw in Salem all over again as individual 1’s supporters were BASHING through windows as they pushed their way into the Capitol Building. And, of course, individual 1, for the most part, saying NOTHING and, even when he spoke, he had to add how much he loves these lawless thugs! As I’ve been saying for over three years, the words of an organized crime boss thug!

I’ve been talking about this for years. “We the people” – and, largely because of our “leaders” – have been looking away from lawlessness. In the Reagan administration it was Iran/Contra and, subsequently George HW Bush PARDONED those who were prosecuted (in my mind, protecting himself). Then, George W Bush and Dick Cheney publicly authorized TORTURE among other CRIMES and President Obama chose to “look forward instead of back.” So, that begat individual 1 and things have now, predictably, gotten out of control. The “stuff” going on in D.C. has been building up for the entire four years of individual 1’s administration. He’s a thug and the entire republican caucus in both the Senate and the House have continued to ENABLE his seditious behavior.

It appears there were officials aside from individual 1 encouraging the rioters (insurrectionists) to storm the Capitol – which would include, who else, but Rudy Giuliani. So, these people are challenging our nation as it hasn’t been challenged before – and it appears virtually NONE of them have been arrested. Individual 1 told them to go home and that he “loves them.” Yikes! And, add this to the “pot:” Several of these domestic terrorists (insurrectionists) are now threatening to come back tomorrow with their “muskets.” Here’s what I’m thinking as I’m writing this – IMPEACHMENT now! Get done with the business of today and then come together in the Congress to IMPEACH individual 1 for a second time – only this time, with republicans agreeing to vote for a conviction.

Other wise, are they OK with all of this? Are they going to stand in support of this lawless IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president? There’s still 14 days until he’s eligible to be arrested. Sadly, there were 140 members of the House willing to object to the “will of the people” and it will be interesting to see how they respond to their followers storming the Capitol Building. My guess is those placing the objections are in support of the insurrectionists. It’s been reported Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley have been fundraising over all of this. If that’s true, they should RESIGN or be censored from the Senate. I’ll say it again, what if these protesters were Black?

My son told me of videos he saw on “the internet” of Capitol Police allowing these insurrectionists into the building and taking “selfies” with them. My reaction: “Holy Cow” first and second, those members of the Capitol Police force should be looking for a new job tomorrow. I’m not trying to be totally redundant but, what if these insurrectionists had been Black? These are the same kind of people like I mentioned above, Ammon Bundy, who believe the government has no rights over them – that they can do whatever they choose to do. As I’ve said recently, I certainly hope Joe Biden is a “law and order” president. A large group of these insurrectionists are clearly on video tape and they need to face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law!

I will wait to make a judgement on Biden’s choice for Attorney General. Obviously, he was waiting until the runoff elections in Georgia secured a Senate “majority” for the democrats so he could replace Merrick Garland who he’s now nominated to become the Attorney General. He will now be able to put Garland’s replacement on the DC Court of Appeals with the democratic “majority.” That all being said, I’m not that certain Mr. Garland is the right person for that job at this point in time. Now, I have to say, I don’t know that much about him other than he was referred to as a “MODERATE” when nominated for the Supreme Court by President Obama – and, of course, being refused the opportunity for even an “up or down” vote by the Senate back then – ostensibly “STEALING” a Supreme Court appointment from Obama.

Here’s the deal: After today’s insurrection RIOT in the Nation’s Capital those who were bashing in the windows and doors, were invading the office space of Congressional leaders and STEALING stuff from their premises, and those who were hanging on parts of the Capitol Building and desecrating it SHOULD be prosecuted to the FULL extent of the law. And, in my view, those who instigated the insurrection, I hope there is accountability for those who urged on the IGNORANT Americans who are unable to understand our states run our elections and our states are the places where questions about the elections MUST be adjudicated. I just spent about two or three minutes listening to Josh Hawley make his “objection” to the Electors in the State of Pennsylvania.

Hawley, is a disgrace to the Senate of the United States of America. I’ve heard multiple reports he was FUNDRAISING while in a Secure Location in the Capitol Building over his role in instigating this insurrection. If his colleagues can’t convince Senator Hawley to RESIGN then they SHOULD censure him from further participation in the chamber. Not because of his stupidity in making an objection, which he obviously has the right to do, but to the egging on of the crowd today and, to me worse than that, fundraising off of their attack on the Capitol Building. Yes, I’m basing my thoughts on multiple reports I’ve heard – I don’t follow Mr. Hawley and NEVER will – obviously, he’s an ambitious politician who has his eyes set on the “White House” – I can only hope the American people have had enough of this MISINFORMATION and we need the republican party to return to rationality.

Then, of course, there’s Ted Cruz. He might be worse than Senator Hawley and, of course, for some time he’s been considered the least popular Senator for years – possibly, next to Louie Gohmert, the least popular member of Congress. He’s shown his true self over the previous four years of becoming one of individual 1’s lap dogs even after our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president had INSULTED his wife AND his father. Cruz, rightfully, called individual 1 a PATHOLOGICAL liar just a short while before “bowing down” to him. And, now he’s causing America to be “teetering” on the edge of disaster.

Just give this a quick thought: What do you think is the response to all of this by Vladimir Putin? Do you think this means the Russians will increase their cyber attack on this nation? Will they do something militarily? Or, how about the Chinese? or the Iranians? Individual 1 hasn’t made “inroads” with any of them (except, likely, Putin). The magnitude of the DAMAGE (yes, I’ve been pointing out the DAMAGE individual 1 is causing to our nation) our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president is inflicting as he’s headed out the “door” (one way or the other) is becoming mind boggling. And, I can’t help but think of what he’s going to do in the next two weeks. Really, FASTEN your “seat belts.”

Final Thought: This group of “deplorables” aint going anywhere. They’ve been around for years, it’s just the republican party pulled them out from under their “rocks” when Barack Obama won the “White House.” If you didn’t notice today, the number of confederate flags being carried into the Capitol Building was a multitude of flags. These people are white supremacists – pure and simple – and individual 1 reminds them “I understand how you feel.” Well, why would he say that to a bunch of RACISTS who are storming the Capitol Building of this great nation. I can tell you why he “knows how they feel.” He’s a white nationalist who shares their grievance about the FACT our nation is becoming more and more “Black and Brown” as the years go by. Of course, that’s a STRENGTH of our “melting pot” nation despite individual 1 and his supporters attempting to disenfranchise the votes of African Americans in six different states. (All states he LOST of course)

Just so you get the full idea of the extent these right wing thugs are up to let me clue you in on what happened in my state, Washington, today. Another “cell” of the “basket of deplorables” we saw invading our nation’s Capitol Building today was attempting to invade the Capitol Building of Washington State and when that didn’t meet their goal they attempted to breech the Governor’s residence in our state Capital of Olympia. Apparently, the authorities in Olympia were more prepared than the Capitol Police in D.C. because they turne the (much smaller) mob away. Some of the people involved in the Washington insurrection as well as the D.C. insurrection are well known – so, my hope is they will face accountability sooner rather than later. Sedition is a SERIOUS crime!

I’m not sure when I’ll finish this rant, but I just turned off the TV and it’s now clear the democrats will have “control” of the U.S. Senate and Moscow Mitch’s obstructionism will be relegated to the “minority” position as will ALL the republicans who were committee chairpersons, including Lindsey Graham, who committed almost as egregious an election fraud violation as individual 1 in his own now infamous phone call to Brad Raffensperger (hopefully, now, subject to Congressional Sanction), will be in MINORITY positions in their committees. While Raphael Warnock has CLEARLY defeated Kelly Loeffler (she of the SEDITION caucus – I have to wonder, will she still show up tomorrow, and if so, will she be welcome?) and, it appears, there’s little chance David Perdue can overtake the 3500+ vote lead Jon Ossoff is going to bed with because MOST of the remaining votes will come from three counties with anywhere from 70% to 90% of the “mail in vote” (which is what remains) going to the two democrats.

My best guess is Ossoff will defeat Perdue by a larger vote than Joe Biden beat individual 1 in November and the reason, likely, will be the lower turnout in the heavily republican counties which was somewhat predictable for multiple reasons, not the least of which was the antics of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president. I believe even Southern conservatives in a place like Georgia can be turned off to a president and members of HIS party committing SEDITION, LYING through their teeth, and claiming “why vote?” when the election is “rigged?”

So, now people like Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Secretary of State, one of his officials, Gabe Sherman – who I’ve come to admire, and Georgia’s republican governor Brian Kemp – Raffensperger and Kemp experts at voter suppression (obviously, this time no match for Stacy Abrams, but…….. I’m thinking how will they respond to Georgia turning “blue?”) are going to be receiving blistering attacks from individual 1. I don’t do “Twitter” but, I’m guessing the attacks have been well under way as the evening has unfolded – especially, since the way this played out was similar to the November election. The DeKalb and Cobb County votes came in late and were the difference for the democrats. During the night I was calculating how many votes remained in those counties and ever when Ossoff was behind be well over 10,000 votes I was pretty sure he would end up winning. (Kind of reminded me of Pennsylvania)

The democrats voted early and MANY voted by mail. The election officials count the same day voting first and then the early vote and then the mail in vote. It was predictable the republicans would lead early (although, in some counties the early vote was counted prior to election day, or so it seemed). The bottom line was, just as in the General Election the democrats were MORE enthusiastic than the republicans. Keep in mind, Perdue had a 2% advantage in the General Election and fell below the 50% threshold at the end when the DeKalb and Cobb county votes were finally tabulated – at the same time Biden overtook individual 1’s early lead. Part of the fault here lies with our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president because he was adamant in encouraging republicans NOT to vote by mail. Honestly, he’s really NOT a “stable genius.” In fact, he’s not “stable” and he’s CERTAINLY no genius.

Individual 1 will be leaving town with an as yet to be determined MESS on the hands of democrats to “clean up.” Yes, there’s the pandemic, the botched rollout of the vaccines, the need for more stimulus, the country is terribly divided, there are militia groups run amok all over the country who are threatening violence when they don’t get their way, and on and on – but, we still don’t know the complete level of this MESS because, as I’m writing this, individual 1 still has 14 more days in office – and, who knows what he’ll do. I wrote earlier today, I won’t be surprised if he tries the Michael Flynn approach to remaining in power – and, that would be declaring martial law and calling in the military once the Congress affirms the Electoral College votes as official tomorrow January 6th.

Just as I had predicted a couple weeks ago, our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president is expecting his V.P. Mike Pense to figure out a way to overturn the election on January 6th in his “ceremonial” position as the person who counts the Electoral College votes and then declare Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the president and vice president elect. I suggested he won’t be too happy with Mr. Pense once he hears the words “Biden won” coming from his mouth. Seriously, individual 1 is completely DERANGED but, last night at the final campaign rally in Georgia – where he helped the republicans LOSE just as he had a few weeks earlier (only by larger margins, just sayin) – he even THREATENED “our great Vice President” should he fail to “come through.” Yikes!! (What on earth does that mean?)

Also tomorrow, we’re going to see 12 (actual) republican Senators (and Ms. Loeffler, apparently) along with something like 140 republican members of the House, COWARDS one and all, object to the reality Joe Biden was dutifully elected the 46th president of the United States and they’ll cement their legacies as members of the “Sedition caucus” of the 117th U.S. Congress. I would love to see someone with lots of money (are you reading this Michael Bloomberg or Tom Steyer) buy a plot of land in our nation’s capital and erect a MONUMENT with ALL the names of those who choose to participate in the nonsense of OBJECTING to Biden’s election tomorrow. As the song goes, “Wouldn’t that be lovely?”

There’s so much to get done, but let’s not kid ourselves, the democrats don’t really have more than a razor thin edge in the Senate and I was listening to one person with much more knowledge than myself today who suggested they DON’T have enough votes to get rid of the filibuster. Apparently, Joe Manchin from West Virginia, the most conservative of the democrats, will not support the so-called “nuclear option,” so, I’m guessing Moscow Mitch will continue to be able to OBSTRUCT the “will of the people.” If enough republicans prove willing to work with Biden and the democrats maybe it won’t be necessary, but with McConnell leading the republican caucus that seems to me to be a real reach.

The Georgia runoffs won’t be officially over for another couple of days and there’s a good chance the difference between Perdue and Ossoff will be inside the margin which would trigger an recount and, if Perdue is anything like individual 1, he’ll demand at least three recounts. As I’m writing this Ossoff’s lead has increased to over 9,500 likely increasing in the days ahead – maybe enough to get past that 0.5% margin requiring the recount. So, we’ll have to wait until the Senate is officially 50/50 but that’s what is going to happen. Of course, if democrats were a little “brighter” they’d have a more substantial majority in the Senate – but, their overwhelming focus on defeating individual 1 and blundering positions like failing to refute the “defund the police” movement caused them, in my view, I believe they SHOULD have won in Maine, North Carolina, and Iowa among other opportunities. But……………….

Final Thought: Individual 1 has DAMAGED this great nation in so many ways, but one of the ways many aren’t talking about is the issue with our traditional allies around the world. Yes, they realize Biden will be much more reasonable to work with, but they also see the turmoil going on in America, they see the number of Americans who actually voted AGAIN for our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president and, who knows what will happen in 2024. Let’s face it, Biden won’t be running for re-election at 82 years old – just aint gonna happen. Kamala Harris will be the likely front runner – in fact, as I’ve stated in more than one post, I believe she may be our 47th president – I’ll let you picture how republicans are going to react to that. But, our allies don’t know how “we the people” are going to react to that. Could another right wing wack job gain the “White House” once again? I’m suspecting our allies will be very reticent to agree to much of anything over the next few years until or if America re-establishes herself as the “shining beacon on the hill.”

I’m tired, it’s late and Ossoff has a lead of almost 13,000 (and growing – more than Biden won Georgia). I just saw one of the “Tweet’s” I suggested will be coming fast and furious from individual 1 and his republican sycophants. He’s suggesting “Mike Pense is going to be the hero tomorrow” or words to that effect. “Hero?” of who? The Proud Boys? The “Atomwaffen?” the “3%ers?” the “Patriot Prayer?” etc. etc. Here’s the deal: There’s NOTHING Pense can (LEGALLY – of course, that isn’t an obstacle for IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president – yep, the “law and order” one) do to change the result of the November Election. The votes have been certified by ALL 50 states and the Electoral College has “spoken.” It’s all over.

Individual 1, just a couple days ago, by calling and threatening the Secretary of State of Georgia, increased the likelihood he’ll be facing legal jeopardy after January 20th, so, apparently, he’s thinking, why not throw a bit of gasoline on the fire. But, does Mike Pense want to be facing legal jeopardy so individual 1 will “continue to like him?” Honestly, I don’t put anything past our mob boss of an IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president so hold on to your “bottoms” over the next 14 days. I’m telling you, the importance of Joe Biden’s Attorney General is becoming more important by the day. Doing an “Obama” – which would be “looking forward instead of back” would be CRIMINAL in my view. When you take an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic that’s EXACTLY what needs to be done.

I listened to Hakeem Jeffries today, a member of the House whom I respect, actually use that “look forward instead of back” phrase when he was approached about individual 1’s phone call to Raffensperger which was clearly felonious behavior – and, more importantly, IMPEACHABEL behavior. And, there’s no limit on the number of times a president (even one who’s already been IMPEACHED) can be IMPEACHED and individual 1, at a minimum SHOULD be IMPEACHED once again. No matter what his voters think, it is IMPERATIVE “we the people” DEMAND our leaders are held accountable for LAWBREAKING! This garbage has got to stop!

I’ll be back, likely soon, because tomorrow (now today as I’m writing this) should be an historic day where a long list of republicans will be cementing their legacies as seditionists. They have no obvious courage and they’re afraid of individual 1 and all the white Americans who believe they are the aggrieved victims of our society. It’s like they are unable to understand what “white privilege” actually is and their anger, in some instances, should lead to arrests and legal consequences. As you can maybe tell, I AM a supporter of a “law and order” president and my hope is Joe Biden will be one. Stay tuned………………….

If you’ve been around this website for the previous few years you KNOW I’ve been pointing out the republican “deficit hawks” will return to Congress as soon as there’s another democrat in the “White House.” Well, we’re seeing that prediction playing out in “real time” as we draw closer to the day when individual 1 will have to be dragged out of the residence he’s now defiling. Democrats have been pushing for much more substantial support for “we the people” since last May and, of course, Moscow Mitch has been the one standing in the way. Of course, he’s got a bunch of rich, mean, thoughtless republicans who’ve been going along all the way, including the two republicans running for the two seats in the runoffs in Georgia, those who sold (and bought) stock soon after hearing of the coronavirus pandemic (and before their constituents knew about it). So, somehow McConnell agreed to a “watered down” version of the Covid-19 relief legislation which will be sending most of us middle class Americans $600 which I DON’T need, BUT that is much too little (and possibly too late) for about 20 MILLION Americans who’ve been out of work since last March.

Tonight, Bernie Sanders is filibustering the Senate’s ability to override the VETO of the Defense Appropriation Act which was vetoed by individual 1 – the first time in 60 years the bill has hit a “snag” and Mr. Sanders has vowed to keep up the filibuster until McConnell agrees to allow the House bill which, in agreement with our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, calls for $2000 per American’s with an income of less than $75,000. Of course, that defense bill is something which would cause McConnell nightmares if it were not to pass and it would be kind of the “icing on the cake” as to our dysfunctional Congress. When the House passes something with a 2/3 MAJORITY, and 78% of Americans support it, but McConnell is all which stands in the way – well, that’s where we are (and have been) in America. (OK, I wrote this a few days ago and, surprise surprise, the defense bill has been passed and no $2000 checks) This is a “marker” for Joe Biden who seems to think he’s going to be able to work with republicans.

Tell that to Josh Hawley, the Junior Senator from Missouri who is planning to “object” to Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory on January 6th, causing a bit of confusion as Biden crosses the last obstacle to the inauguration ceremony. Of course, his “objection” will be fruitless because the House will not go along with this anti-democratic “play” even if the Senate would – which is also unlikely. So, why would he do this? OK, I know this will surprise you, but add one more right wing potential fascist to the line which is forming from republicans who want to be the nominee in 2024. Only in America. I hope Mr. Hawley gets a “scarlet letter” embedded on his forehead – short of that, I hope those of us who are thankful the nightmare of the last four years is soon to be over do NOT forget. I’ve already put Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Tom Cotton, along with the 126 members of the House who joined the fascist Texas lawsuit intended to overturn our election on the “do NOT forget” list. (Yes, time moves fast in America, now the group of SEDITIOUS republican Senators numbers 13 and there are supposedly well over 100 in the House. OMG, America is teetering on 3rd world status)

These republicans continue with this anti-American behavior because the members of the cult continue going along with it. I wrote the other day about all the people who are now switching from Fox “news” to “Newsmax” and the STUPID stuff which continues to flow from their mouths, but eventually, people are going to realize they’ve been hoodwinked and they’ll be falling off the “wagon.” This is why I’ve been supporting the “Lincoln Project” – a bunch of (mostly) former republicans who are part of the “conservatives” who helped vote individual 1 out of office.

Speaking of STUPID “stuff” coming out of someone’s mouth, how about individual 1’s call to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger just a few days ago now. In that call our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president committed another three or four FELONIES which, I’m sure, he believes he will “get away” with because democrats don’t have the spine to hold him accountable. I’m sure he’s planning to “pardon himself” which has been reported many times over the past couple of years, but the constitutional experts I’ve listened to (plus my reading of the constitution) have universally said a president (even an IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president) can NOT pardon himself! Legal theory has been clear for over 500 years – you CAN’T be a judge in your own case!

That being said, I’m sure the members of individual 1’s cult could care less. They don’t care about any of the incompetence we’ve seen for the past four years. They don’t care about the racism – the ones who support individual 1 and say, incredulously to any one who would ask, “I’m not a racist,” they either ignore or don’t care about all the “dog whistle” racist ginning up of the right wing militias across this nation by individual 1. I have one acquaintance who supports individual 1 who said to me, “He’s the last chance we have for a conservative in the “White House.” (my quotes) I said, “you need to stop watching Fox “news.” Of course, he denied watching Fox although subsequently in the conversation he referred to Fox’s lead propagandist as “Sean.” There’s a lot of ignorance in this nation – much of it willful.

And, individual 1 just isn’t going to stop. Whether it’s that his narcissism is so acute he feels a need to dominate the headlines EVERY day, or if, as I’ve suspected, it’s the mob boss in him attempting to prevent the obvious – that he’s a LOSER, or BOTH – it’s just going to keep coming at us for another 15 days and who knows how outrageous will be his actions. Last night, in a rambling speech in Georgia – which was mostly about his own grievances – he inferred that Mike Pense will “come through for us.” Of course, he was suggesting Pense has the power to overthrow the “will of the people” on January 6th when the Congress will affirm the results of the Electoral College. (Despite the efforts of the republican SEDITION caucus) Pense has NO power to do anything which would determine who won the November election.

Of course, if you’ve been listening carefully to the words coming from the mouth of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, you would have heard him suggest there are “other ways” we can accomplish our goals “but, hopefully we won’t need them.” Here’s what I believe that means: I believe individual 1 is going to attempt to follow the advice of Mike Flynn and call out the military after declaring “martial law.” I’ve been writing about the need to vote republicans into the history books for over 10 years! They just keep providing more proof I’ve been correct!

Not only has individual 1 been ignoring the FACT a once in a century pandemic has engulfed our nation (and, is getting worse by the day) and his supporters don’t care – there will be over 400,000 dead Americans from the virus by the day individual 1 is out of office on January 20th and it will take MONTHS for the Biden administration to get it under control. And, individual 1’s supporters won’t care. The republican Senate has BLOCKED aid to all those who’ve been affected by the pandemic – people who are without money, food, power, and who knows what else – and individual 1’s supporters don’t care. Our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president has been doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin for the past four years, including ignoring Russian bounties on our troops in Afghanistan, his supporters don’t care.

Individual 1 has (credibly) LIED something like 250,000 times to “we the people” since taking office back in 2017. That REALLY bothers me, but his supporters don’t care. I have watched him at rallies on several occasions when I KNOW he’s LYING through his teeth to his (uneducated voters) and they cheer him on. Let me tell you, people like him – the organized crime types – will just keep getting worse as long as they are allowed to violate the laws with impunity – in this case LYING with impunity. This is why it is so IMPERATIVE this thug faces accountability once he’s no longer protected by the OLC memo written back in the days of “Watergate.” (And, by the way, in that same “memo” was a “memo” from the OLC stating a “president can NOT pardon himself”)

Final Thought: I’m going to publish this rant without re-reading and editing because, well, that’s what I often do. It’s not how I taught my sixth graders – I’ll re-read it later. (I’ve got to go to the doctor) Today is the runoff election in Georgia and, obviously, I hope the democrats win, but I believe that’s a real longshot despite “we the people” will be much better off without Moscow Mitch in charge of the Senate. Let’s hope the republican Secretary of State remains vigilent despite individual 1’s attacks and threats and lets hope neither he or the other republican officials in Georgia are the victims of any violence should the democrats win these runoff elections. (And, it’s possible only one of the democrats might win)

I’ve been calling individual 1 a “mob boss” for over three years. Most have considered this hyperbole, but as time has gone by the characterizations have evolved to the point where I’m now hearing journalists, pundits, and prosecutors using similar terms. They’ve gone from “bully,” to “wannabee dictator,” to “autocrat,” to where now he’s actually – while having lawyers on the phone line with him – made an incredible (unbelievable) one hour phone call with the Secretary of State of Georgia where he threatened him, Brad Raffensperger, with “criminal liability” unless he could “find” enough votes to allow individual 1 to “win” the state of Georgia. Many have been pointing out the OBVIOUS now for the past two or three years – individual 1 has NO moral compass, he CHEATS with impunity, and he’ll do anything to avoid being considered a LOSER! He acts like an organized criminal!

Today I was listening to Jon Heilman on MSNBC and he was using the word I’ve been using for over 3 years, DAMAGE, to what individual 1 is doing to this country. He said, “we’re all counting the minutes until January 20th and hoping the country is still standing from the DAMAGE our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president (my phraseology) inflicts on his way out of the ‘White House.'” Heilman was into the “D” words to describe individual 1: “depraved,” “delusional,” “desperation,” “derangement,” “detachment from reality,” and, of course, he used the word “DAMAGE,” multiple times before he ended the “D” word description with the word “Dumb.” The phone call to Raffensperger was really DUMB and Georgia’s Secretary of State wasn’t going to put the recording of the phone call out “unless he lies about me on Twitter.” If anything was predictable, that would be it. (Which is why Raffensperger taped the phone call)

Well, this is our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president and was there any doubt he would LIE about the conversation? He can’t help himself! Heilman, toward the end of his remarks sounded like James Mattis and Rex Tillerson when he used the term “moron.” The conversation on “Deadline White House,” the MSNBC show led by Nicole Wallace, then changed to the seditious Senators who are going to support individual 1’s ILLEGAL behavior by challenging the results of the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as the 47th President of the United States. This group, led by some of the most ambitious of them – apparently pandering to the white nationalist base of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, as if that would be THEIR path to the “White House” – Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley – I’m surprised Marco Rubio isn’t one of them, but, heck I listed all the House members who joined the seditious Texas Lawsuit which was THROWN OUT of the SCOTUS so, here they are: Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun, Tommy Tuberville, Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshal, and Bill Haggerty. They have now volunteered to be in Congress’ “House of Shame!” (Now, we can add Kelly Loeffler)

Have you ever wondered why so many people RECORD conversations with individual 1? Do you think it has anything to do with the reality individual 1 has CREDIBLY LIED to “we the people” over 20,000 times in his four years in office. The 20,000 number was as of July of 2020 so it will likely exceed 25,000 by the time he’s dragged out of the “White House.” As those on Ms. Wallace’s program were discussing, this outrageous example of an American president further ABUSING his power – violating multiple LAWS once again – I couldn’t help but notice each of the three “guests” on her program used the term “mafia don” in reference to the ongoing behavior of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president. I keep thinking back to the IMPEACHMENT “trial” where republicans could have ended all this but didn’t have the courage. Well, we now know why, don’t we? With HUNDREDS of republicans showing their willingness to accept SEDITION as a way to stay in power, much of what I’ve been lobbying about for the past TEN (plus) years should be crystal clear. (This version of the republican party MUST be voted into the history books)

Individual 1 has been doing this lawless behavior in public view for pretty much the ENTIRE four years he’s been in office. I can’t count the number of times he’s gotten a “pass” because he’s too “DUMB” to know any better. Many said this about the Russian “collusion,” many said it about the “OBSTRUCTION” of the Mueller report, and, apparently, that was the republican justification for ENABLING a (IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING) president who was attempting to EXTORT a foreign president for political help in his upcoming election. I’ll never forget Adam Schiff so eloquently laying it ALL out in the IMPEACHMENT “trial” as he pointed out we all know what individual 1 will do – “he’ll do this again,” and, of course, he’s doing exactly that. These republicans who live in FEAR of individual 1’s “Tweets” are now part of the “basket of deplorables.”

Actually, all the LYING and disgusting behavior coming from the republican party SHOULD be surprising to NO one. I’ve been pointing out for years the republican party has “adopted” the Nazi propaganda scheme “The Big Lie Theory” and they’ve been using it since, at least, the 1980’s. Apparently, that is why individual 1 fits in so well, because he just naturally LIES about virtually everything. Maybe that is why the republican “base” is so united in defense of such a DEPLORABLE (IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING) president – he’s willing to do ANYTHING to remain in power – and, for the “white nationalists” that, cheating to win, would be acceptable to them – because “we the people” by and large are repudiated by that belief and, for them, it’s all about the POWER not the constitution.

Tomorrow is the runoff election in the state of Georgia and if, somehow, Jon Ossoff and Rafael Warnock, the democrats, pull out a victory things in America will be a bit less “rocky” in the coming two years. Keep in mind, unless democrats would be willing to do away with the filibuster, they will continue to face the OBSTRUCTION of Moscow Mitch. Do you think there are 10 republicans in the Senate who would be willing to work with democrats to get progressive legislation passed? Who knows? Republican constituents need to help of our nation’s government as well as democrats. The coronavirus relief, which McConnell referred to as “Blue state bailouts,” is not simply aimed at “Blue States” as if that’s the only part of America being affected by the pandemic. The difference between the republicans and democrats in the Georgia runoff is so stark that we’ll get a good idea on the level of challenge facing “we the people” over the next few years.

When the “smoke” clears from all this it will be interesting to see how people view Georgia’s two republicans who’ve been pushed into the spotlight – Brad Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling – who appear to be willing to stand strong in the face of individual 1’s ILLEGAL bullying tactics. I’ve heard varying reports about what Raffensperger has been doing in Georgia – which would include some efforts to suppress democratic voters – but, I have to say, he’s going to come out of this as a hero to many people like me who believe in the “rule of law.”

To me, the question going forward gets back to whether “we the people” have the stomach to investigate and possibly PROSECUTE a former president, even an IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president. He ILLEGALLY solicited help from the Russians in the 2016 campaign, he ILLEGALLY OBSTRUCTED Robert Mueller’s investigation, he ILLEGALLY attempted to EXTORT the president of Ukraine for “dirt” on Joe Biden, and now he’s ILLEGALLY committing VOTE fraud as he is attempting to ILLEGALLY EXTORT his will with people like Mr. Raffensperger and threatening him with criminal sanctions if he doesn’t bend to his will. I can guarantee you, if individual 1 is not held to account “we the people” will be going through this again.

For example, what if someone like those who are being referred to as the “seditious dozen” (now “Baker’s dozen” because Ms. Loeffler has joined the group in a desperate attempt to get more votes in the runoff election) has their eyes on the “White House?” Like, for example, either Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley? Do you believe republicans will believe they are joining in an effort designed to overthrow our “free and fair election?” Are republicans sophisticated enough to realize their “leaders” are working in the same direction designed to undermine our process of elections as Vladimir Putin? This is all serious, but it’s also, to me, as if I’m in a bad dream. I keep asking myself how there could be enough STUPID people in America for someone like a mob boss, ie individual 1, to end up as our (IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING) president? If they’re there today, they could still be here in four years. Accountability for individual 1 is IMPERATIVE!

Final Thought: Another thing I’ve been writing about for several years now is individual 1’s curious “bromance” with Vladimir Putin. It’s been widely reported – including in Rober Mueller’s report which I read TWICE – that the purpose of the Russian ATTACK, originally, was to undermine the “free and fair elections” in America. So, does it surprise you that individual 1 and his seditious republican enablers are doing Putin’s “bidding” as I’m writing this? Individual 1 has sucked MILLIONS of Americans into a CULT which is espousing Russian talking points and now you have a significant portion of elected republicans joining force with that thinking. This is dangerous to the foundation of our republic – as I’ve been saying for years, only my concern has been elevated exponentially.

While individual 1 continues to attempt his coup d’etat he’s IGNORING his actual responsibility of being the leader of this nation in the face of a once in a century pandemic. And, of course, every day where there’s NO national leadership – at the stage of the virus we’re all now facing – is catastrophic. For example, the strain of the virus which has been identified in Great Britain which is almost twice as contagious as the original “strain,” has now surfaced in several U.S. states, This, of course, means there will be more cases and more people needing hospital care – as our hospitals in several states are already at capacity – plus, all across America there is a significant shortage of medical personnel capable of working in ICU’s. According to “Worldometer.info” (where I follow the virus) there are soon to be 30,000 American in “serious/critical” condition as they battle the virus. Less than two months ago, that number was around 14,000. And, all the experts are saying the next two months are going to be much worse. Add to that, individual 1’s “team” is BLUNDERING through the vaccine “rollout.” Yikes!

Individual 1’s desperation reminds me of my high school basketball coach when he “preached” “one mistake leads to another.” I believe our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president is acting with impunity because he fears what lies ahead once he’s no longer protected by that (STUPID) OLC memo which has shielded him from legal accountability. I believe he had considerable “stuff” for which to worry BEFORE he made this call to Mr. Raffensperger, but now……..? He could have it coming at him from the North the South and places in between! Stay tuned!!

There’s so much going through my head I want to (eventually) write about, but today I keep thinking it won’t take long for the republicans to engage in a strategic plan to undermine Joe Biden’s Vice President, Kamala Harris. I’ve briefly mentioned the obvious on a few occasions already. She has similarities to Barack Obama with a father of African descent and, then, in addition, a mother of Indian descent PLUS they were “immigrants” when Ms. Harris was born in Oakland, California over 50 years ago. Who would have guessed.

Of course, we’ve already seen the “birther” stuff pop up – in a Newsweek magazine article, no less (who has since apologized for publishing what amounted to nonsense) – republicans subsequently claiming she can’t be Vice President because, well, just because. Apparently, the FACT she was born in America isn’t good enough for them. Remember, individual 1 was attempting to, essentially, overturn the 14th Amendment to the constitution which is CLEAR in it’s definition of “birthright citizenship” some months ago. The idea Ms. Harris would be ineligible to run to be our Vice President because her parents were immigrants is absurd on its face. But, trust me, we haven’t heard the end of this one. Likely, individual 1 will be leading another episode of “birtherism” once out of office. (Remember, he is a second generation “immigrant” and his wife is a, well, “immigrant.”)

But, just the reality Ms. Harris is half “Black,” half “Indian,” AND maybe her most egregious offense is she’s a WOMAN will be the motivation behind the right wing message machine hitting high gear sooner rather than later. Think back to those in Congress who admitted the Ben Ghazi attacks on Hillary Clinton were intended to drop her “favorabilities” – and, they were bragging about how effective their strategy was before she destroyed their scheme in 11 hours of testimony before the House Ben Ghazi Committee (Although, the damage had been done). Expect something similar for Kamala Harris. I’ve already heard her being referred to as the “Ho from O” (Oakland) by republicans in the House. It’s going to get ugly because the chances of Ms. Harris breaking the so-called “glass ceiling” which James Comey prevented Hillary Clinton from “breaking” is quite high.

The FACT Joe Biden is 78 years old, I’m sure, is enough to put these right wing bigots into a state of frenzy. What is the likelihood Biden will serve his entire term? For heaven’s sake, I am 73 years old and, every day, it becomes clearer and clearer to me I’m really thankful for Social Security because I’m too old to be working. I give thanks every day I wake up. Now, in my instance, I was “blessed” with a malady which interfered with my desire to keep teaching when it became time for me to retire. However, the reality we’re on the “downhill slide” when we get into our 70’s is simply reality. I hope Biden stays healthy and is able to govern effectively for the next four years, but my instincts tell me it’s very possible Ms. Harris will be our 47th president by this time four years from now. Republicans hate this, I can assure you.

And, worse for them, Ms. Harris is very bright, very strong, and very competent – something which seems unimportant to those pulling the strings of the republican party. We’ve just witnessed over 120 members of the republican caucus in the House of Representatives, every one who has taken an oath to the constitution, signing on to the FRIVOLOUS lawsuit filed by the pardon seeking Secretary of State in Texas trying to overturn the election results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Apparently, the people in those states voted for the wrong candidate according to these republicans which makes it important to throw out ALL the votes in the so-called “swing states.” This is the attempt at a Junta in America which people like me thought would NEVER happen in this nation. These members of Congress have publicly admitted their “loyalty” is to individual 1 and NOT to our constitution – despite their “oath” to the contrary.

Will the voters in the districts of these people EVER hold them accountable? Likely not, which will demonstrate the effects of gerrymandering in America like we’ve never seen before. Why would someone publicly make a stand against our constitutional form of government? Ironically, should the lawsuit have succeeded it would have wiped out the elections of many of these un-American representatives. (While I was writing this rant the Supreme Court, as MOST thinking Americans, apparently including me, in a 9 – 0 vote “deep sixed” the Texas lawsuit) I was driving around tonight and thought it’s time the democratic party focuses on these areas which are called “red” counties, states, etc. I have to believe there MUST be republicans who don’t understand their representatives are actually supporting anti democratic measures via individual 1. That their loyalty is to our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president who has significant legal jeopardy once out of the “White House” instead of to the constitution which they’ve taken an oath to defend. They pay more taxes than him!

Just as NO official representative of individual 1 campaigned, at least as far as I could tell, in my state, Washington, because we’re a “blue” state – I believe it’s because they KNOW their argument would not appeal to progressives. However, I believe Joe Biden’s positions are such that people in some of these “red” areas would realize he’s trying to help them and they might decide they don’t want to be represented by someone whose oath to the constitution is just hot air. Their representative is living in FEAR of individual 1 even after he’s been voted our of office. And, they’re going along with the “grifting” scheme republicans are doing after the election to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in money much of which ultimately will end up in the pockets of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president.

I wrote the previous words over a week ago and, as usual, I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the nonsense coming from individual 1 and the republican party. This coming week we’ll see a bunch of republicans making fools of themselves as they “contest” the results of the election causing a delay in the final Congressional acceptance of the Electoral College results. As I’ve said previously, it will be interesting to see how Mike Pense responds to the challenge of doing the “right thing” as opposed to the wrath of individual 1 which he’ll face once he proclaims Joe Biden the “president elect.” Of course, he’ll have no option but to do that, but our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president EXPECTS everyone in his “orbit” to have the same mafia type mentality as himself. I believe individual 1’s anger at Pense will fully expose his delusional reality. Of course, his CULT will not care.

After I read “Rising out of Hatred,” the story of Derek Black written by Eli Saslow I spent some time checking out his father who founded the hate site “Stormfront.com” and will not forget reading his words which claimed “individual 1 (he, of course, used the surname I can’t bring myself to write) was the ‘vehicle’ leading the white supremacists into the “mainstream” of American politics.” There’s a lot of them (white nationalists) and they make up a significant portion of the “base” of our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president, but, like him, they don’t want to give it up. I believe the realize the reality they’re facing – which will be progressively more irrelevance as the years go by – which, likely is why they’re willing to “burn the country down” in order to keep their “fuhrer” (I’m not kidding, that’s what some of them have called individual 1) in power. January 20th can’t come soon enough for me!

Final Thought: I started pointing out the discrepancies between the statistics I was seeing as I followed the coronavirus outbreak and what was being reported by some of the states with GOP governors – I suggested they were CHEATING (what else, we’re talking about republicans) to make themselves look better as they (the governors) were pushing to “re-open” their “economies” too soon. Of course, we’ve been playing “catch up” ever since and, now, the pandemic is way out of control and MANY people have DIED who shouldn’t have died because of this CHEATING – which was encouraged by our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president who, we now know, “bought” in to the idea of “herd immunity.” (I figured this out when he muttered the phrase “herd mentality” one day)

Hyperbole? Not on your life. One of the states I mentioned was Florida and, of course, it’s now coming out that Ron DeSantis was ordering people in Florida’s health department to LIE about the number of people DYING from the disease. I also mentioned states like Texas, Iowa, South Dakota, and Arizona as states I was suspicious of their reporting. Eventually, this will all come out and “we the people” will KNOW the TRUTH about what is really happening while Americans are DYING by the THOUSANDS – virtually a 9/11 every day now and likely to get much worse before all the vaccines will be able to be widely administered.

Individual 1 continues complaining about LOSING to Joe Biden but, yet, continues to demonstrate why it happened. His response to the Covid-19 pandemic wasn’t something which would be a good example of something to campaign on. It was the first real crisis our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president had to deal with and he FLUNKED with flying colors. Individual 1 PROVED he was in way over his head and had NO idea of how to manage the office of president of the United States of America.

Between Christmas and New Year’s there were several days where the death count from Covid-19 was approaching 4000 per DAY – and, our IMPEACHED so-called two time popular vote LOSING president was playing golf each day. As he fumes about losing to “sleepy Joe” he should simply look in the mirror and realize this will be his legacy – him on the golf course while Americans are dying at a rate well beyond 9/11! Personally, I don’t call that “presidential.”
