Debunking the hype agaist Critical Race Theory and exposing it for what it truly is! IMO

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

WHAT CRT STANDS FOR:

Ever since Barack Obama became President of the United States (well actually prior to that if you count Regan, Bush, Bush 2, and the 8 years they spent trying in vain to destroy Bill Clinton) the Repuglycons have lost their total minds, and have shown that they are not above putting low people in high places, if it makes it possible for them to stay in power.  They have willfully, blatantly, openly and notoriously flaunted every rule in the proverbial book - including the sainted "Constitution of the United States - which is supposed to be sacrosanct - to get what they want, regardless of who and how many they have to trample on to do so.

Justice in America is defnitely not Blind or Just

 

 Critical Race Theory posits from a legal standpoint that not only is Justice in American legal history not blind, she's been sleeping with the lawyers all along - making sure that if anyone says the deck is stacked against us, she pontificates a lot of bilgewater, and continues to stand on our necks.  (GDW)

During the fifties it was Senator Joe McCarthy - or "Tail Gunner Joe, as they called him  (nothing like a nickname to let you know that while they may talk about him openly, they secretly supported him behind closed doors) who used "Red-Baiting" to destroy the lives of thousands of innocent people, under the guise of pretending to rid the US of Communism.  No lie was too big, no tactic too vile to prove the innocent guilty.  And this went on unabated until somebody finally Woke (T F) Up and said "This is madness; this is not what America is supposed to be about."    SMH

Or is it?  There are about 23 Million Black people who would righteously beg to differ with that statement.  Having endured more than 400 years - 402 counting this year of 2022 - of racism, jim crowism, segregation, deprivation, and lies at the hands of "law makers" who make the laws specifically so that we won't progress, or gain equality, or get an education, or VOTE - we've been dealing with this and moving forward despite it.  BTW, has anyone noticed that most of the lunatic fringe exists in the US Senate?  What's up with that? (IJS) Also, has anyone noticed that New York has never had a Black US senator - male or female?  Hmmmm - Wonder why that is!

We have endured John Bonehead Boehner, Newt Gingrich, even Mitch (the B*) McConnell - each of whom has led the US Senate deeper and deeper into the primordial ooze that is the swamp they are currently turning America into.  They want to create a mass of automatons who do their bidding, and goose-step into history in much the same way Hitler did to Nazi Germany.   Interestingly enough they have sold their souls to the devil in the personage of one D J T-rump, in order to do so - apparently not caring how low he could or would go, how treacherous he would/could be, how many lies he could tell; how he would/could and almost did overthrow the government - in fact they are apparently more than willing to give him a second chance at doing so - considering this massive blob is now crisscrossing the country spreading lies and continuing to engender racial racist rabid antagonisms in small, backwater, red neck revisionist communities - i.e. the gullible underbelly of America.   It boggles the mind of most intelligent,  normal people how T-rump was allowed to be president - considering he committed every ethical violation in the book - denigrating a fellow candidate Hillary Clinton; urging people to smash his opponents in the face because he would pay their legal fees; utilizing a known dictator, and enemy of the US to tamper with the votes so that he would "win" the election of 2016 - and then use his power to continually put low people in high places so they could not challenge his stupidity.  The (s)election of 2016 was truly the indication that the US much touted constitution, ethics, and rules had absolutely no meaning or validity whatsoever.  In sports, if a team violates a rule, or uses unnecessary roughage, etc., they could be ejected, the scores removed, and/or they would forfeit the game.  This is what should have happened then - but NO! The mendicant was allowed to play president and drag America to a new low.  (Not gonna numerate them for you - look it up)!

Then in 2021 - after having every trick in the book, including hiring a degenerate to destroy the US postal service - not only a major symbol of US, but a federally protected division of the government - tampering with the mail is a federal offense - to shut down postal services across the US so voters could not do mail in votes - hopefully meaning those sequestered from Covid would not be able to vote by mail, he spends the rest of his lame duck period hatching a plan to overthrow the government under the guise of his defeat was engineered - stolen - miscounted - rigged - NOT!  WE KICKED HIS BUTT AND THE SYCOPHANTS THAT SUPPORT HIM OUT - well almost - it appears there were two blue dog dems who are more repuglycon than the repuglycons, who have been a thorn in our backsides since the election.

The megalomaniacal fool is now using the pawns that is the senate to try to make it impossible for Black People, Brown People, Independent People, Intelligent People - namely us  - from defeating his rabid racists from once again dominating the Congress again. And here we are - with him going across the country with his band of  well paid menials; with the assistance of the Paid Advertisement masquerading as the news nightly extolling his most recent inanity - with the sycophants who wanna be him so much they have lost all sense of propriety (Cruz, etc.) and dignity, as they sell what soul they have left to this madness now by trying to pass revisionist racist laws to prevent us from exercising our right and responsibility to vote in various states that have absolutely no validity except to prevent us from voting - how is this legal? How is this ethical? How is this intelligent?  How is this not racist? and insane? How is this not subversive?  And how is it that it is still being allowed to continue?  Why is it being allowed to continue?

The main thing I don't want is to see us buying into the BS, and sitting around as though we're defeated, acquiescing or equivocating, or rationalizing their major maladjustment as though it's something that's bound to happen; or copping out and talking about a mythological third party or an independence party, when we know that currently there are only two parties - and we have to pick the one that does the least amount of damage.  We didn't get this far by acquiescing or turning a blind eye, or waiting to be saved.  We looked at the situation, and devised other means to get what we wanted done done.  And this is definitely of those times!

Most of us are descendants of Ancestor/Angels who were enslaved in this country.  Most of them were forbidden to read, write, get an education, because these caucasoid slave monsters knew that once we were able to do so, there was no way they would be able to keep us enslaved.  They knew we were smarter, more intelligent, creative, talented, resilient than they were - therefore the last thing they wanted us to have was an education - even on the third grade level we could outsmart, out think and outdo most of their most learned PhDs.  We might not have had the grammar, but we had the common sense and intelligence.  So it should be no surprise that they are coming for our educational autonomy - that they are trying to revise what we know by attacking education, schools, books, and anything that would further inform and enhance our intelligence.  They used Betsy DeVos to destroy a great deal of the school system.  Subsequently, we began to really learn the truth of what happened to our Ancestor/Angels from Africa to here at the hands of their ancestor/monsters, and subsequently at the hands of their descendants in real time and began breaking down many of the codes in their playbook by making sure we not only knew our history, but theirs as well - and used that to effect the greatest voter turnout - four times - Obama, Obama, the 2018 Midterm and Biden, 2020, and now if we stay the course, don't get fooled by the meanstream media's bogus faux news, we are in line to defeat them a fifth time if we show up and show out and vote in overwhelming numbers in the upcoming 2022 MidTerm Voting Elections - we will totally turn this country around for the better - for our own good in particular - and the US in general.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are pulling out all the stops: T-rump's lying propaganda spreading across the country, attacking our educational system, the teachers, the libraries to stop them from teaching the true history of America by attacking "Critical Race Theory"  or CRT, in a manner that has apparently been hyped so much that everyone is falling in lock step to it - and trying to not be found guilty of teaching the TRUTH - lest they lose their jobs, or funds, or homes, or, or, or, or...

 

The real gristle of the whole cabal is based on a book that, until recently, had little traction, or notice - CRITICAL RACE THEORY by Richard Delgado was originally written in 1995; but originally enunciated in the late 1970s by the late Derrick Bell, lawyer, political activist and advocate, who basically  enunciated CRT as a way of "understanding how American racism has shaped public policy, laws, education,  and increased public awareness about things like housing segregation, the impacts of criminal justice policy in the 1990s, and the legacy of enslavement on Black Americans." Education Weekly (https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what-is-critical-race-theory-and-why-is-it-under-attack/2021/05)

Now, it was all right as long as it stayed in the hallowed halls of academia - which it did for nearly 30 years, but the truth has begun to be taught in real time in elementary schools, K-12, and now all the Karens, their husbands, and the ultra conservative right wing nuts - aka T-rump-a-lumpers, are waving their red flags all over the place.  Basically they want to keep their kids in blissful ignorance and are looking to wipe out everything that even gives a hint that the South wasn't a place where darkies sang happily in the fields while picking cotton, and their great grand ancestors were sipping mint julips when the war started, and Black people are really poor because they like being that way.  Heaven forbid they find out that Mr. Charlie hung his Black neighbor from an acacia tree because he wanted his land; or that there were laws passed to keep Black people from being able to read; or there were actual laws that determined where Black people could and couldn't live - laws that were only recently struck down by EXECUTIVE ORDER by President Lyndon Baines Johnson  - whose history and existence they have consistently tried to eradicate in every form or fashion since he betrayed the sacred trust of every rednecked Dixie Crat (original Democrats) in the 1960s.  

 

Most of the Repuglycons don't want folks to know this!  So they are launching an all out offensive that would make Adolf Hitler proud!

These turkeys are willing to pass heinous even more  egregious laws that totally violate the constitution to push history back into the dark corner where they've tried to hide it for lo these many years - as if we didn't already know what happened - that they are borderline (or actually straight up) Nazis!!  And they are so on the slippery slope they are literally getting up crews of right wing plus conservative females (the worst kind - make MTG look like Mary Poppins) foaming the mouth because their kids are being taught the TRUTH!! As if somehow their heads will explode when they learn that they are descendants of monsters who mistreated people so they couldn't/wouldn't have to work.

They are coming so close to the 1933 German Kristallnacht -(and no, it's not a champagne drink) - that horrific event where Hitler loosed his rabid dogs on innocent Jewish people in Nazi Germany because they were beginning to grow and thrive - all under the guise of cleansing the country of their version of Critical Race Theory. (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/goebbels-burnings/) All led by an individual who had fomented crimes against the country viv a vis a riot and breaking to the Nation's Capitol to protect his right to continue lying, stealing, consorting with known authoritarian cretins in other countries that he "admired" because they could dictate and he couldn't. So he got his henchmen to lather up an insurrection against the government - and then lie and call it a peaceful protest; much like what is being propagandized as a danger to the country by actually teaching American History - the good, the bad, the ugly, the unstable.  (By the way, am I overstating the obvious if I say that had Barack Obama done this insane treasonous act, he would have immediately been tackled by all the Capitol police and thrown under the jails in Leavenworth - that is if they didn't shoot him on site - so how is it that the January 6 tribunal is still vacillating over pulling the lever to apprehend and incarcerate the Orange Faced Fool? - IJS).  And why hasn't President Biden put a stop to the obvious violation of our freedom to vote by issuing the EXECUTIVE ORDER OR PROCLAMATION, immediately if not sooner? 

 

The problem is that the only thing they are focusing on is the historical issues around slavery, without also realizing that both sides of history are being taught in the schools - at least they used to be.  There are many redemptive, positive historical facts that are also being taught.  The problem is they only want that part to be taught and deny all the rest.  So teachers, scholars, educators are to be the brunt of their condemnation - to be persecuted, punished, penalized and pushed out?  I Don't Think So! 

I also don't think we should allow them to get away with defining what they're doing by pretending it's about education and what's being taught in the schools.  It's not unusual for people to become reactionary when accused of doing the right thing by the wrong people.  We get hung up in their definitions - as though there aren't other ways to interpret what they're trying to do.  So let me help you see this in a different light:

CRT (ALSO) STANDS FOR:

• Caucasoids Running (from the truth)
• Crazy Racist Transgressions
• Creepy Racist Tactics
• Conniving Racist Tactics
• Crass Racist Tactics
• Covering Racist Transgressions
• Colonizer Revisionist Tactics
• Covering Racist Tactics
• Concealing Real Truth
• Covering Racist Trauma
• Culpable Revisionist Terrorists
• Concealing Racist Torture
• Constitutional Rights Trampled
• Constitution Revisionist Tactics
• Collaborating (with) Racist Terrorists
• Covering (for) Racist Terrorists
• Concealing Racist Tracks
• Consorting (with) Racist Terrorists
• Creepy Repuglycan (Republican) Treachery

I dare say one of the reasons they don't want true history taught in the schools is because they would have to answer the question:

What the F -K happened to the Original Real Republicans that Abraham Lincoln established when he founded the Party in the 1860s to go up against the current party at the time?  The Original Real Republicans were abolitionists who worked alongside Lincoln to abolish Slavery. They were the ones who worked with him to write the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION (A PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER) Freeing Slaves in combative states, and later throughout the entire US - and looking to give them reparations for what they had endured by giving each family 40 acres and a mule so they could start out and begin to build on their own?  As the late Oscar Brown, Jr.  said - "I want my 40 Acres and my goddam mule!!"  They're afraid their children, in an act of contrition, would actually turn around and level the playing field by keeping the promises their ancestors had no intention of keeping - Social media is such that these kinds of truths spread exponentially - and the sweeping under the rug days are pretty much over.

They really don't want to have to confront the most egregious miscarriage of justice and violation of the constitution (which by the way they now violate easily and with ease over and over - and nobody seems to be of a mind to stop them) each and every time they try to abrogate our right to vote in real 2022 time by passing laws that Lyndon B. Johnson 100+ years later enacted through his own PRESIDENTAL EXECUTIVE ORDER - giving us (again) the right to vote in free, fair elections, with out any penalty, threat, or other deleterious machinations to intimidate or prevent us of our right to vote.  

The ACLU recently stated: "There can no longer be any doubt that America's justice system is not blind. Indeed, as today's report from the nation's oldest, largest and most diverse civil and human rights coalition reveals, 'lady justice' sees skin color all too well. The report documents that black and brown Americans are routinely shunted to ever harsher treatment at every stage in the criminal justice system while their white counterparts are handled preferentially."

They really don't want any further educational programs, classes, forms, reports, or whatever because they would then have to answer the question "what is your endgame?"  What is your real plan for the future of America?  Who the Eff are you?  Has America already been infiltrated by people disguised as Americans, who are now poised to take over, and overthrow this government that purports to be by the people, for the people, and of the people?  Just how many shils does T-rump already have planted throughout the country, low people put in high places to aid in this debacle, unless and until  President Biden wakes up, stop trying to be the "nice guy, and placate everybody,  and really sees what it is time to pass the most up to date comprehensive PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER ever, to provide for and restore voting rights to Black and Brown people - all of whom are American Citizens. And he needs to do  it yesterday, because tomorrow may be too late. 

Who's to say this megalomaniac will even wait for the Midterm Elections to take place?  Who's to say he's not trying to whip his next group of insurrectionists into a lather to storm the Nation's Capitol once again?  Who's to say he isn't currently planting them in strategic areas to cause disruptions, disturbances by his own demented version of "by any unscrupuous means necessary?

Of course we can neither wait for President Biden, nor can we stand here like deer in the headlights, frozen in fear of what might, or might not happen.  We don't have that kind of time.  We actually already know what time it is. It's time for us to take action - to make our own plans - even if it's reactionary to some extent - and make sure we're more than prepared to deal with this madness.  We know they have enacted ID laws, no helping each other to the polls laws, closing down polls in key Black areas, gerrymandering, and all kinds of things because they are so afraid of Black people they want to make sure they can use this as a way to curtail our progress.

Guess what?  As Melanie Campbell said at the recently held National Action Network (NAN) on voter  suppression:  "This is not the first time we've been through this at the hands of these kinds of racists.  We didn't let it stop us then, we won't let it stop us now.  We know how to go old school - back to basics.  We have a means for dealing with everything they say or put in the way to stop us  & WE STILL VOTE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DO.  We plan in advance, we learn the rules, follow them to the letter, and make sure we document any and all attempts on their part to stop us from voting and WE VOTE ANYWAY!"

The Black Women for Positive Change, is one of many organizations throughout the United States that is gearing up for this battle for the Souls of America - we are joining forces, preparing to help each other in the various midterms across the country - energizing our bases to make sure NO VOTE IS THWARTED, OR LEFT BEHIND, AND EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED FAIRLY AND COMPLETELY.  We are making sure everybody knows that BLACK PEOPLE ARE UNDER SIEGE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS DURING THE MIDTERM PRIMARY AND ELECTION OF 2022 - and we simply cannot allow that to happen y'all!!  They are working with other organizations to host Victory VoterCades throughout low voter turnout communities across the country - to alert and encourage folks to vote - early if possible, by mail if necessary, and in person as a show of force, unity and solidarity:  www.blackwomenforpositivechange.org;

Or, start an organization in your community and begin galvanizing your family, friends, neighbors, fellow church family, faternities, sororities, civic organizations, clubs, senior citizens, high schoolers who'll be 18 by the time the primaries come around -  and others to get up, get together, get out and Vote.  

 

And if you're in Ohio, your primary is Tuesday, May 3rd - I hope you're already on top of it. 

We are all targeted - none of us are exempt - it took all of us to do what we did in 2008, 2012 - we blew it in 2016, figured it out in 2018 (midterms that turned the tables on T-rump, and 2020 when we kicked him out.  Now let's make sure we keep the momentum up in 2022 and make it a three-peat - sweep the rest of his cronies out the door, and this time make sure going forward they don't have a chance to rear their ugly heads again.

 

And remember, Freedom ain't Free - Dr. Greer, who was also on the NAN panel, suggest that we remember this, and begin a kind of Political Tithing in much the same way we pay tithes in church, to help support the candidates who would work in our best behalf - campaigns cost major dollars - if we want results, we have to help there as well - maybe not thousands or millions, but $5.00 to $25.00 at a time per week - which is how President Obama won - making sure those with lower income situations could have a part in the victory right along with mega buck contributors. 

The late John Lewis said always be ready to get into GOOD TROUBLE - you have to stand for yourself and your families; you can't be defined by those who want to enslave you, treat you like dirt, destry you.  You have to be prepared to get into good trouble - and the next time they come up with another CRT accusation, you can come up with some of your own:

• CRT CAN ALSO STAND FOR:
  
• COURAGE REAPS TREASURES
• CHALLENGE RACIST TACTICS
• COALITIONS REPEL TERRORISTS
• CONNECT (with the) REAL TRUTH
• CONFOUND RACIST TERRORISTS

THESE ARE JUST FOR STARTERS - I'M SURE YOU CAN COME UP WITH OTHERS!!  

If you do, please share!   - you must always relanguage the terms by which the negative tries to confine you and define you.  Self determination and self definition are two of the hallmarks of a free people who are unafraid to do what's necessary for their own survival and progress.  And one of the main hallmarks is that of our right to vote, have a say in what happens in the country where we pay taxes, raise our children, worship, and go about our daily lives. 

And oh yes, don't let them continue to distort the truth, buy the book and read it yourself:

Always remember to vote in every election, no matter how insignificant it might seem, we have the power to change things drastically - if we increase the turn out of this 2022 MIDTERM BY 25%, WE WIN - 

 

And above all remember:

 

OUR BLACK MIDTERM VOTES MATTER!!

and 

MIDTERM VOTES MATTER - 

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO - 

VOTE BLUE!

ESPECIALLY IN 2022!!

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Stay Blessed &

ECLECTICALLY BLACK

T-RUMP IS A MENACE TO SOCIETY – ARREST HIM NOW!

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

T-RUMP IS A MENACE TO SOCIETY – ARREST HIM NOW!

For those of us who have had the privilege of having had a real education - prior to the destruction of quality education in the late 1970s - we are more than familiar with the history of World War II and the rise of Adolf Hitler and the NAZI party.  Though we may not have said it aloud, in the  backs of our minds we remember the lessons surrounding Kristallnacht, and other egregious acts of aggression engineered by Adolf Hitler that turned Germany into the most heinous nation of murders, genocide, and atrocities ever in modern history. Because it happened nearly 80 years ago, perhaps many have developed a convenient form of amnesia, or are just plain ignorant, so the signs may go completely over the heads of many Americans.

The fact that the opposition to T-rump's Hitlerian shock and awe and don't give a shit for anybody tactics, coupled by his effectively fanning the flames of hatred and racism against all who were non- repuglycon - can see the parallels clearly in practically everything T-rump has done and is doing before, during and subsequently to his tenure as predator in chief.

The insult to injury is that the news media persists in calling this walking vermin "the president," when there never was ever anything presidential about him.  It boggles the mind why they would persist in this deceptive nomenclature.  The oaf has been the oozing carbunkle on the backside of America from the day he browbeat the repuglycon party into making him their candidate.  The tragedy is that the repuglycons - and by extension many of the Democrats - have yellow streaks a mile wide down their backsides, have been either paid off, or sufficiently threatened into acquiescence or browbeaten into submission.

And, every time the media and our elected officials continuously say “only Donald T-rump could” stop the mob; Donald T-rump caused this, or refer to the menace of his ersatz supporters, they are feeding his perverse narcissistic ego. 

T-rump is a textbook case for the "authoritarian personality" - and yes, there is a book of the exact same title that describes this perversion.  I know there is, because I had to study it when I was a Freshman Student in Hampton Institute. 

He takes great pride and pleasure in destroying or threatening or intimidating people. 

This should be obvious to intelligent, sentient beings - While folks were being chauvinistic towards Hillary Clinton and believing the BS propaganda spread against her, she was actually telling the truth about who he is and what he's about. Our not listening to her is why we're suffering the consequences of this misceant today.

And now, while folks have been watching this walking disaster destroy everything and everyone he touches, there is an evile smirk on his face as he watches people writhing in pain, ignorance, agony trying to figure out why he is doing what he does.  There are those who try to appeal to a reason he does not possess.  There are those who write books warning about the kind of evile he is and has been from birth through whatever the stage of human development he currently occupies.

Years ago I said that T-rump was a megalomaniacal, sadistic, mendacious cretin - who should have never been allowed to even run for president, let alone be allowed to take office - notice I did not say "elected" because he was not elected, he colluded with Russia who materialy changed the number of votes - and, whe Hillary had still won the popular vote, was able to use his own personal billions to buy or intimidate the (s)electoral college.  In fact, one of the members of the electoral college faced so much pressure stepped down rather than stand up for the truth. 

Narcissistic, socio/psychopath T-rump gets pleasure and feels powerful either way - if you are suffering because of his actions - he's happy; if you're praising him or sucking up to him because you're afraid of what he might do - he's happy.  It makes him feel powerful.  It makes him feel that he has the power of life and death over you.  He made the statement that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not be arrested and walk away from it free to move around with impunity.  He meant it.  January 6, 2021 is his test of that statement.  It is his knowing that the US senate and congress are so feckless and spineless that they won't do what needs to be done to punish him.

In retrospect, the entire time of the debate with Hillary, T-rump was not debating her, but talking to his base - sending a message that he was not going to abide by the rules - he has never ever addressed nor abided by, nor adhered to anything that was remotely presidential.  He has always shown his backside to America - from the day he took the oath of office, through the lie about the number of people who came to his inauguration, through the internment of young children, his ersatz wall, his friendship with Putin, his pseudo- enmity with China, when he has more deals with China under the table than anyone else - is clear that he has no regard for America, Democracy, presidency or people in general.

And when Joe Biden made him look like the fool he really is, he feigned a COVID attack, and went into the hospital rather than debate him again, for fear his base would see him for the fool and the idiot he really is.  It was a slick, "sympathy for the devil" move!  It almost worked - Biden actually had said he would do no more attack ads against him while he's convalescing.  There were so many devious things he is able to get away with trickery, lies, deceit - and deflect while pretending to bumble through.  

He's a master genius of delusion.  He says things, supposedly in jest - while at the same time plotting and trying to figure out a way to make it happen.   The dismantling of the postal service - which he announced he would do, the rest of the world was flummoxed when he actually found a fool to make it happen.  The calling together of the different underground vermin - The Proud Boys, etc., the not leaving the White House, not conceding after Biden won - all things he said he would do.  His total lack of respect for any semblance of decency - even in his own family - are his m.o.  And it's an embarrassment to the US, when the rest of the world sees this and sees that we are so lacking in courage and power, that we allowed this crap to drag out for 4 years.  

The  party of Lincoln, the original Republicans, were already hijacked in 1965, when the Democrats took them over in order to punish Lyndon B. Johnson for passing the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts, and the Great Society - things that benefited Black people - those dixiecrats were pissed.  They took their evil with them to the Republican party, and it became the Repuglycons - just as vile and negative - but now even moreso.  When they sold their souls to the TeaParty in backlash against President Obama, it was clear they were really consolidating their heinous, hostile control over the government - first under Boehner, then under McConnell.  But, this current iteration of the Repuglycons - now called T-rump's Repuglycon party, made even Joe McCarthy look like a picnic.  Had his miscreants gotten their way, no doubt, Mike Pence would be swinging from their home made gallows in plain sight.  This is the kind of intimidation that energizes and excites T-rump - a walking terrorist.  That he can garner his own army and make America bend to his will and domination.

Consider the events of January 6 T-rump's as his proof that he can do just that - this was a power move.  This was a sadistic move. This was an act of treason. His defiance of the rules is to prove that white america has no guts.   They're good at shooting Black people in the back, they're good at incarcerating us on "suspicion" but have no guts when it comes to doing the same thing with a mendicant who would have been ecstatic had the Capitol been brought down in shambles - it was a testimony to his power.  It made him in his demented mind, a demi-god (actually he thinks he's a god - LOL)  It makes him think he's uberpowerful - like Hitler - who can cause people to do his bidding and the minions can do nothing to stop him.  They are all going through a form of mental masturbation - trying to finesse the info hoping the right wingnut repuglycons, who have already been bought and sold, would actually grow a pair and and get a heart, and actually turn the ice in their veins back to human blood and rebuke T-rump.

And, while I believe in miracles, it would take an act of God to make it happen.  However, at this point, Impeachment is a good symbology - And, when T-rump comes goosestepping back into DC with his redneck brigades - just remember, you were warned.

What really should boggle all the minds of America is why is this criminal being allowed to live free in Mar A Lago, instead of having been tackled to the ground  by the police, handcuffed, and carted off to jail for inciting violence and riot.  Why was he allowed to fly off scott free, while the Capitol stood in ruins? 

January 6 was a power move - he is flexing his muscles.  He is saying to the Democrats and the rest of America "can't touch this!"  And, if all they do  is have an impeachment hearing - win or lose - all they've done is given him the opportunity to do what Hitler did in Nazi Germany - given him a second chance to build an even bigger base of thugs to come back and really overthrow the government.  He will continue to recruit lowlife bogus "patriots."  He not only has to be impeached - he has to stand trial and be incarcerated and made to pay for his crimes in the same way any other individual who had done the same would do.

His ersatz lawyers are not professional.  They are vapid and weak. They are only there to pretend to defend him.  The repuglycons have already decided to  stonewall the Democrats, and  as the impeachment proceedings go on, they are going to vote for acquittal.  They are going to try to pretend the constitution has not been violated.  They are going to try to wash their hands of the whole thing. This is what he's anticipating here at the hearing, which is why they have not brought on any high powered lawyers.  They don't have to defend him, they don't have to prove anything - they are anticipating the fact that impeachment will fail.  So the lawyers don't have to be good, they have to be warm bodies that can form sentences - not necessarily coherently - because he is still the puppet master for the repuglycon party. 

Frankly, I consider T-rump armed and extremely dangerous.  So why is he not under house arrest?  He's like a walking ak-47 - and if you're in his gunsites, he may not necessarily pull the trigger himself, but has caused others to do so - ask the Governor of Michigan about how she was targeted by T-rump's miinions as they stormed the capital and demanding she be locked up.  It was his test case for he ensuing storming of the Capitol.  He has been threatening to send militia to different states to take over where the governors did not fall lock step with him. Notice, that he got the eff out of New York because Tish James and Governor Cuomo were not playing.  They were ready and willing to expose him, read him the riot act, and throw him under the jail.  To avoid that, he changed his residency to Florida. But that may prove to be his undoing if Floridians perceive his toxic presence to be a menace to their toney society.

January 6 was T-rump's Kristallnacht:

"Over 100,000 Jews fled Germany for other countries after Kristallnacht. The international community was outraged by the violent events of November 9 and 10. Some countries broke off diplomatic relations in protest, but the Nazis suffered no serious consequences, leading them to believe they could get away with the mass murder that was the Holocaust, in which an estimated 6 million European Jews died."  - Google

If we don't arrest this maniac - this maggot - not merely impeach him.  If we don't try him in a court of laws for high crimes and treason - it shows we have not learned the lessons of history; we are stuck on stupid, and if this is so, we will get what we deserve - in spades.

So my questions are these:

When is a President not a President?

What are the character traits of a president?

What are the moral characteristics of a president?

What makes us decide this individual, not that, is trustworthy enough with the future and wellbeing of America, and our lives, to be given the accolade?

What is our criteria for president - is it money, ethics, intelligence?

Or have we come so far away from any standard of quality, we will let any miscreant hold the title.

Make no mistake, Americans prize our rules in sports higher than we do the person who is given the responsibility for running the most powerful country in the world. You can be ejected from a game if you are caught cheating.  You will forfeit the game and all games you've won previously for not following the rules.  Yet we will allow an underhanded, foul mouth degenerate to be the president of the US and spend the next four years talking about how awful and ignorant he is - but not do a damned thing about it.

This is the chance - This is our responsibility.

We have absolutely no excuse for not doing so.

God  is watching us - trying to wake us up!  He's already given us COVID, economic downturn, a massive fall from grace - this is our chance - our responsibility to show that we've learned the lesson and will now DO THE RIGHT THING.

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

 Stay Blessed & Stay Strong
