Scary Stuff

I watched the January 6th Committee broadcast last night and was slightly shocked at how the 'tRump' acted. I say slightly because it is no surprise that such a narcissists would care about anything than himself.

IF he did nothing and the rioters overtook the nation's capitol and took out Mike Pence along with other members of the Senate, his bidding would have been done. He would have stopped the count of the electoral votes.

What came to mind was the following. 
Why did no one stop him? Does the President of the US have so much power that no one can 'check' him/her? 

Did the man want to be Dictator and King? I think so. He wanted to stay in a position of power where he could increase his wealth and power without any fear of retribution. He surrounded himself with like minded people who were out to destroy everything our nation stood for.

This morning I read a post by 'friend' that was outraged that anyone was investigating the events from J6. His quote: Why are we still fighting over President Trump's non action on January 6th?

It goes on to complain about the current president. I am not going to go there because J6 was about lies, deception, insurrection, and a danger to our democracy and not about inflation and current events.

How is history going to see this 45th President? What will be written in the text books? 

What will be the Hollywood version of this in years to come?

Will we ever know how close we came to losing our rights as Americans?

According to some, if 45 were successful, he would have ended elections so he could be a Dictator. 

I watched the outtakes of his video on J6 and on January 7th where he decided that despite everything, he still would not concede the election.

I will conclude with this. Our country is going through a crisis or should I say an upheaval such as we have never seen before. 

Will a madman again rise to power? We are still reeling from the damage of his years in office.

Remember that throughout history,
there have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time they seem invincible.

But in the end they fall.
Always.

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.
