Anatomy of an Insurrection
We are at this point because… We allowed this to begin and get out of control… Which lead to getting away with this… Which lead to getting away with this… Which lead to getting away with this… Which lead to many people getting away with this (so far)… It has all been a test to… Continue reading Anatomy of an Insurrection
Thank you! Impeached Twice!!
I don’t often agree with anything from the Republican side as they are usually anti-people. However, I also believe in giving credit where credit is due. Thank you to all of the Democrats who votes for impeachment today. And, thank you to the following Republicans who also voted country over party: Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH)Peter Meijer… Continue reading Thank you! Impeached Twice!!
Dear President-Elect Biden:
When you decided to run for President, no one could have foreseen how bad of a shape our country would be in on your presidential inaugural day. COVID wasn’t fully on the radar, insurrectionists were still more underground, and well, the lame duck was the lame duck. As your campaign continued and your wins mounted,… Continue reading Dear President-Elect Biden:
50 States + DC
It has been almost a week since white supremacists stormed the Capitol Building. Five people died during that violent riot, one a law enforcement officer who was brutally murdered, and four insurrectionists. We are seeing people being arrested or placed on no-fly lists, and hearing them whining about the fact they are being treated this… Continue reading 50 States + DC
Democracy or Autocracy
We are there. The line has been crossed. It is time to choose—democracy or autocracy. There is no gray area in this decision. I don’t know why, but I am finding it surprising there is so much soul searching for newspapers, magazines, news agencies, corporations, and elected officials. For me, it is very telling to… Continue reading Democracy or Autocracy
Yes, This Is Who We Are!
I was going to write about how we already live in a dictatorship of sorts. You know, because a single person in the U.S. House of Representatives can say, “Nah, I don’t want to work over the weekend,” and the House apparently can’t be called into session. On the other side of Congress, one person… Continue reading Yes, This Is Who We Are!
Apparently Impeachment Isn’t A Priority After All
My bubble has been popped. I was certain since the Democrats in the House hadn’t put Articles of Impeachment on the floor for vote before I went to bed, I’d wake up to read the House had stayed late into the night to vote. After all, so many Democrats were saying all day yesterday they… Continue reading Apparently Impeachment Isn’t A Priority After All
Getting Away With It, As Usual. Surprise, Surprise!
When the word may is used, you know nothing is going to happen. It is a word to allow for an out—permission to do nothing. No offense to the word may, but it is such a passive word. A strong bold word is will or shall. When those two words are used, you know something… Continue reading Getting Away With It, As Usual. Surprise, Surprise!
Shocking, but not Surprising
When I woke up this morning, I knew it was going to be a scary day. Hate and white supremacist groups had already hinted at, and blatantly stated, they were going to take action when the Electoral College certification was taking place. It was still shocking, but not surprising when, while on a call with… Continue reading Shocking, but not Surprising
