Watches, folks, watches. It appears I have a vice of sorts and it all began with watches, many, many years ago. The guilty party here, aside from me - Swatch. I love their watches, from the simple to the more expensive, from the large faces and thicker bands to the elegant skin watches. I especially love the fun watches, the ones with bolder designs, yet lovely in appearance. So, I managed to build a collection of sorts without meaning to.
As time went on, batteries die, need replacement and that could be a problem, though it pleases me to report that these batteries are easier to get and local jewelers can repair as well as 'rebatterize' the watches. (Shout out here for Bennison Watch Company= off Palm Beach Lakes Blvd.) Hoorah!!! Makes life a lot easier for those of us who accumulate Swatches. Particularly as Swatch stores have disappeared from malls. I believe the closest one now is in Orlando airport! Tad inconvenient. Thus, picture my dismay when there was a deafening silence. No tick tock from them, nary a peep, even from the louder, older ones. Uh oh! However, I am happy to report that all but two are as good as new though unfortunately, two had fatal issues. Their tick tock is forever silenced. On the other hand, I now have three new Swatch watches! As vices go, not too bad. Gottta' love 'em!
Sorry to say that some tick tocking is not so easy to fix. Local jewelers are unable to fix these mis-tockings. " all of this is now under a ticking clock," That is the statement re the last ditch efforts of a guilty, panicking Trump to keep his sins hidden, never to appear in the House or in courts. He asserts executive privilege, though he is not the current President, hence has none. It is also morally correct, and legal, that truth should out, as it always does, despite maniacal efforts to deny it. The Nazis did, with their burning of records, exploding infrastructure of camps, frenzied burning of bodies and dispersal of mammoth amount of ashes, determined to kill Jews to the very last moment. They were held to account, though not enough.
Such are the crazed attempts , the last ditch attempts, of Trump et all to hide their treasonous actions leading up to and including the insurrection of Jan. 6. As far as I am concerned, their continuing efforts with the Big Lie, of stolen elections, their horrific attempts to change voting laws so as to make it nigh onto impossible for many to exercise their right to vote are open treason. Awful.
"the President maintains his conclusion that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents provided to the White House on September 8, 2021."
"Accordingly, President Biden does not uphold the former President's assertion of privilege."
The above is, hopefully, the death knell, or at least the first tones of those tolling bells, for Trumpian horror. The beginning of the end to his determined efforts to twist this country around, hide the tick tock of its beating heart - the Declaration and the Constitution. One cannot attempt crimes and then use trumped up excuses - in so many ways! - to cover it up. His efforts, and those of his abettors in his crimes are the equivalent to the person who kills his parents and then begs the mercy of the court as he is an orphan!! Cannot have it both ways. Crimes of political homicidal intent will out, perpetrators will be held to accounts, and we see this all over the world. Unfortunately, too often it takes too long, has incurred awful amounts of harm and damage, and the road back is tough, really tough.
"Unfortunately, I think the president had some really, really bad advice," Short told Drucker. "The way the White House was structured at that point was that those people giving that really, really bad advice were given carte blanche access to the president, and I think there were no safeguards in the way the White House was being run at that point."
This cannot happen again. Bad advice? Ya' think! We must have safeguards in place. Deranged Presidents and their enablers, lost souls, every one of them, cannot rule the roost. We must make sure that proper tick tocks run the country in a smooth manner, and if needing repair, then we do it. Right away. No attempts to silence the tick tocking of the nation can be allowed to succeed. None. That simple. As simple as tick-tock.
