Shocked

I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge what transpired at our nation's capitol yesterday.

I cannot recall the last time I'd ever been 'glued' to live coverage. Nor can I ever recall having a politician [not sure he even deserves that name] that incites violence and riots as our president. I put that in a small P because this man has not deserved the title.

He should have been removed from office a long time ago. And after yesterday? He should be censored or the Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. 

Thank goodness Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram locked his accounts. 

Put him in a windowless room and shut off his TV, take away his smartphone and access to all media. 

Let us not forget that this man who called for violence and who lives in an alternate reality where he can never lose ~ has the Nuclear Codes.

Even his family who are his most ardent supporters think he went too far.

His ploy really didn't work well did it? Stop the certification of President Elect Joe Biden?

Over run the capitol and threaten our Senators and Congress persons with violence so that they had to be evacuated and hide for their own safety. Making Democrats and Republicans huddle together and fear for their own lives as 'he who shall not be named' has supporters who are over running the Capitol and scaring the crap out of our nations leaders.

What better way to show the Senators and Congress folks that indeed the leader is unhinged and dangerous.

Senator Mitch McConnell said that Congress had faced a "Failed Insurrection."

Vice President Mike Pence: "We condemn the violence that took place here in the strongest possible terms. We grieve the loss of life in these hallowed halls, as well as the injuries suffered by those who defended our Capitol today. And we will always be grateful to the men and the women who stayed at their posts to defend this historic place.

To those who wreaked havoc on our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the People's House...Let's get back to work."

Just when I think I can

not 

be shocked any more by this person who calls himself a leader

I am shocked and dismayed once more.

I would love to see how this gets written down in the history books in years to come.

Let's get back to work.

  3. Sad day for sure but no worse that the burning of a Police Station in Mpls. Seems to me that the Police have their hands tied...:(

    Shocked but not surprised with the rhetoric from the last two months. He needs to be removed from office immediately, in my humble opinion.
