“I think the greatest illusion we have is that denial protects us. It's actually the biggest distortion and lie. In fact, staying asleep is what's killing us.” (Eve Ensler)---- “So let the sideshow begin, Hurry, hurry, step right on in, Can't afford to pass it by, Guaranteed to make you cry…”(Bobby Rivkin/Lisa Coleman/Wendy Melvoin)
For the brave, I give you credit, watching, the partisan politicians, decide the fate of this nation. For the GOP, gerrymandered into office, or rewarded for their voter suppression antics, their purging of voting rights for citizens of a once free country, it is about nothing BUT, licking the rotting wounds of a man who given the choice of asking for empathy or just driving through a crowded street, would beg for the keys to a tank. For the Democrats, it is about the removal from office, of a man who thinks he is King, has the ability to remain above the law, and will, if left to his own devices, divide and conquer this nation with the assistance Vladimir Putin.
I began watching the procedure, thinking I am living history in real-time, but a wave of nausea swept my gut so severely I actually ran to the bathroom to puke up the essence of evil. I now understand how an Exorcism might work, and he chaotic gyrations of removing the demon from your own soul! YES, it has been and IS that revolting to watch, the GOP pretend that the Constitution, with the exception of the Second Amendment (and even that is questionable as to their understanding), is meaningless as long as Conservative Judges, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, racial bigotry, anti-sematic, and theocratic Dictators and their minions remain in place. For the GOP, Trump IS above the law, and for Trump, he has never been told differently, nor faced any major consequence where the law has really stopped his criminal and devious behavior.
I need to breathe and have been suffocating ever since I discovered that the Russians, with the Republican Leadership as Enablers, elected Trump as Commander-In-Chief. Three years later, the slow but methodical smothering of anything of truth, value, morals, freedom, fairness or quality has slowly been in place, and I worry when will the final death knell be heralded by those who can only demand the death of democracy!
