UNENDING SHUDDERS

       Will they ever end? Should they end? How do we remember this day, this mind shattering attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of the country? How will we ever be able to explain to history how and why we found ourselves in this situation? Can we ever even begin to understand the whole disaster ourselves? Why did we allow greed and the hunger for power to overwhelm morality and responsibility, true patriotism?

Oh, we can have all the talking heads and pundits of the world yak on about it for days, months and years to follow, but what will that amount to in the long run? The fact is, we have seriously lost our way. We began to admire twisted people with no morals, with thoughts only of and for themselves and worse, began to emulate them. We turned our collective backs, minds and hearts, our very souls, on the humanitarian progress we had made  and the future progress we should be making.

Then we capped it all with a return to false religions. We began to worship hate again, justifying it with misquotes and twisting of words. We allowed, no, even welcomed, the advantages of ignorance and finally we arrived. The obscene point wherein the very President of America colluded in the planning, instigation, incitement and activation of open rebellion and, of course, his plans for escaping consequences of failure.

"If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won't be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense. It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators,"

Never truer words have been spoken. Never before were we witness to physical invasion since the War of 1812 - but this time by our own people. Between the pre ordained result of the first impeachment and the second, what a tragic historic farce we have caused. And endorsed, openly, with utter lack of respect for history, for the people of America and the world. Its expression that says it all? The image of Hawley, that oh so very involved up to his neck alleged conspirator, sitting there while horrific videos of the day were played, how close we were to losing it all - with utter disinterest and legs on the desk.

Unending shudders, unending fear, unending.
