Or should it really have a question mark after it? Will we ever be done with this whole mess, with the shame of centuries, with the glaring exposition of America's devolvement? Can it, in fact, ever be fully resolved and what will it mean for the future; what precedents does it set, good and bad? Can we hold strong, finally pull together as a nation should the worst -or actually, the best - occur and Trump finally pay the myriad dues he owes to the nation, at least in the form of prison, no country club, please. Additionally, a massive fine such that will truly hurt the family quite a bit in the pocket, possibly avoiding future damage of and by the Trump family as each poisonous offspring has to 'wrassle' with a new normal. And if they are provably complicit in his evil shenanigans, which they certainly were, then the price must be paid by them as well, in terms of jail time and personal fines.
The nonsensical plaint that we are hearing, being threatened with, actually, that to try and convict this man and his co-conspirators, is dangerous for the country, that it will release a huge toxic cloud over us, with fighting in the streets, bloodshed, possibly a final split in the nation, irrevocable, permanent. What nonsense. Bah, humbug!
We already have had fighting in the streets. We already have had bloodshed, unto and including murder, by the insurrectionists. We have had violent offshoots of these horrific extreme right wingers, but it will not, must not, stop us from doing the right thing. Those who decide to continue their rebellion, their treason, well, their fate awaits them. We MUST, absolutely must, do what is necessary to maintain the integrity of this nation, its role in the world, its standards, its historical responsibility to its residents, even to the world.
To excuse a person from crimes committed sets a bad example for future criminal politicians and civil workers. No, working for the government should never be accompanied by a get out of jail card. This is not a game of Monopoly. This is real life. Actions have consequences. Do the crime, do the time. A mantra we must observe, apply in ALL circumstances. If not, well, we are truly and forever lost.
Government positions will be sold and bought, criminals will run this nation, along with the ones already in place, and do not forget the sexual perverts in place already. They will have carte blanche to do whatever their twisted hearts and misshapen souls desire. WE, the little folks, it is a major 'screw you' to us.
No one, absolutely no one, is above the law, not in a democracy, true to its mandates. Yes, there are times with mitigating circumstances, but wanting to hold position to satisfy one's bloated ego does not count. Greed, in asserting that all he touches, all he wants, are "MINE!", not acceptable.
Open, blatant, contemptuous behavior in anyone cannot be tolerated; most certainly not in the very one who is supposed to, sworn to, defend this nation from enemies within and without. What a crock, when the 'defender' is the very enemy within! What a crock indeed, when he is the one wielding the scissors, the evil, wicked blades shredding this nation's fabric, aided by his twisted acolytes, hanging around for the crumbs he sheds, like the shark and its attendant school of fish hanging around for his leftovers.
We are not to be parasites. We are not to be disrespected, made null and void, invisible in the setting of standards, in building a better, ever evolving society. We cannot allow that. We cannot tolerate that. We have already crossed so many Rubicons that I have lost count. Unsealing affidavits! Unheard of in these cases, yet here we are. A traitor President!!?? Enablers, a huge crowd of them? Hordes of mob crazed people desperate to do something to better their grievances, real and imagined, good and bad, not acceptable. Not compatible with a true democracy where violence is not the answer.
I wish this were gone from our national screens, from the constant acidic eating away at our unity, at the worsening situation in the world because, due to, the machinations, the incompetence, the sheer perversion of that former, never should have been, president who turned the proper world upside down without a plan to recorrect. No one desires this gone more than I, well, ok, probably him as well, but then again...
Biden said it correctly after a heckler, roundly and soundly booed by the audience, claimed again, forever, the lies of the stolen election. Biden shut him down, urged the people to let him go, out the door, and then said,
"Folks, ignorance knows no boundaries, but we never gave up,” Mr. Biden said to applause. “We never gave in, and we’re delivering for the American people.”
Yes, despite the twistings and turnings of the GOP, the Democratic party have served the nation, getting legislation passed to help the little guys. Think what could be, what should be, if the liars, the criminals, the twisted of the GOP were gone, the party once again, yes, different than the Democratic Party in some issues, but always, forever, pro the people, pro America, able to stand on the steps of that besieged Capitol and sing, together, in full throated voice and emotion - G-d Bless America".
If only.
If finally.
