Thank you for voting to impeach Donald Trump a second time. This was the right call. I’m even going to quote you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“if these actions \u2014 the Article II branch inciting a deadly insurrection against the Article I branch \u2014 are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?”<\/p>Adam Kinsinger<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there were nine others, I will get to them later. You are from Illinois so you get the primary shout out. It gives me hope that one day Republicans instead of terrorists will once again lead the Republican party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I gotta admit, most of my life it has been embarrassing to call myself a Republican. We had the George Ryan years<\/a>. (Probably only painful for Illinois.) We also had the failed presidencies of both<\/strong><\/em> father and son Bush. Really presidencies that were embarrassments to the human race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The son was such an embarrassment idiots put him in office a second time just so they could laugh about it. At least the entire world now knows he could not win daddy’s war because we are still mired there three presidents later. Ah, WMD, Word of Massive Denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, for most of my life, with the notable exceptions of John McCain and Ronald Regan, every Republican “We the People” sent to Washington considered it their mission in life to be a steaming pile of dog excrement. Honestly I had lost all hope for the party. One would think after spending years in Washington the piles would stop steaming, but they never cool down or go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The First Thank You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As a small child watching the impeachment of President Nixon on a black and white television, it was then that I firmly became a Republican. They had both ethics and integrity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those people were someone to look up to. Leading by example for us youngsters. They were willing to impeach one of their own because of those two things. Sadly, during the first impeachment of Trump they proved to the world those two qualities were lost on a garage sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Trump, Nixon actually did good things<\/a>. In today’s world of Facebook, Amazon, and Google, that little B&E at the Watergate hotel seems like a parking lot fender bender, but it was big then. Today people use a computer in another country to get far more information than anyone could via B&E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the Ugly Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Salon has a really good article on the “Southern Strategy”<\/a> that started in 1960 when certain republicans realized they could get elected by catering to bible thumping terrorists, notably, The Klan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have people wearing white sheets showing up in the middle of the night to burn a cross in your yard, that’s terrorism. Before we had suicide bombers and people storming the capital building that and lynchings were the definitions of terrorism in America. Then it became the bible thumping terrorists who fire bombed or shot up women’s medical centers with people inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bible thumping terrorists didn’t really grab hold of the reigns until McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. I don’t know exactly how that<\/em> happened. I have written an eight part series on this blog titled How Did It Happen?<\/a><\/em> with respect to how Trump got into office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even President Obama pointed out the Nazi-like terrorist element rose to power at that time. Haven’t read enough of his stuff to determine if he believes there was any connection. Personally I don’t believe he does mainly because I don’t believe there is a direct connection other than the growth of propaganda medial outlets and the fact she was good on camera. A real ratings bump. Even had great zingers for radio like that hockey mom and a pit bull thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Propaganda Got Way Out of Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I won’t re-hash all that is in my eight part series, but social media without moderation allowed the worst of the worst to run amuck. It’s even lead to Faux News and a few other mainstream media outlets becoming little more than propaganda machines. There certainly is no shortage of GOP tabloids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The GOP tabloid in my area is the Kankakee Daily Journal. You know it. They interview you from time to time. For some time now they’ve had this nutter Alan Webber spouting the baseless gospel of Trump. He went so far on November 28, 2020 as to deliberately plant the idea of Civil War in the tiny little minds of the other nutters<\/a> following Trump. In a later article he tried to distance himself from that, then claim a free and fair election was a coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a quote from it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, Minzey stated, \u201c\u2026Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.\u201d<\/p>
After the four years of hell we just lived through during the Trump administration, my thoughts are Minzey\u2019s words were prophetic. Given the unrelenting investigations, starting about 20 minutes after Trump took office, which led to an eventual sham impeachment; and now the reports of possible voter fraud in several states in this last election, something ominous seems to be settling over our country.<\/p>
…<\/p>
What might another civil war look like? We got a taste of it this summer when extremists from ANTIFA and BLM childishly threw tantrums in Democratic cities.<\/p>Alan Webber<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I’m pointing that out so you can pass the information along to the authorities investigating the failed coup attempt in Washington. It ceased being a First Amendment issue the moment the failed coup attempt physically started. One also needs to clean up their own back yard before they point at the neighbors. This is your back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is one question I would like your office to look into. I’ve written a blog post about it. Why weren’t they all mowed down?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What People Don’t Understand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Bible thumping terrorists supporting Trump and Ted Cruz aren’t Republicans, they are terrorists, plain and simple. Just like Jihadists they warp a peaceful religion into a thing of murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
