A Very Emotional Time With Many Thoughts Which Will Require Time To Process

The last 48 hours have been the most emotional roller coaster imaginable!

It began with great excitement as Georgia saw the victory of both Democratic Senate candidates, the Reverent Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff, marking the first African American Senator from a Deep South state since Reconstruction, and the first Jewish Senator in the history of the state.

It also meant that the Democrats would control the US Senate under new Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and that Joe Biden would be able to have more success with a Congress controlled by his party, even if paper thin control.

But then, we had the first attack on the US Capitol Building, the home of Congress, since the British attacked on August 24, 1814 during the War of 1812, and done by a right wing Fascist terrorist, insurrectionist group of Donald Trump supporters, and egged on by Trump himself, as well as his son, Donald Trump, Jr. and Rudy Giuliani, former NYC Mayor. These three men are guilty of treason and sedition and need to be held accountable!

The Capitol was defiled, and our national security was in danger, and it caused America to be ridiculed in the eyes of the world, which have seen America as the image of democracy being threatened by an egomaniac who wanted absolute power!

So even though at this writing, there are only 13 days to the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the push is on to impeach and remove the President, a second attempt, or to invoke the 25th Amendment, with great pressure being brought on Vice President Mike Pence by Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to prod the Trump Cabinet to join him in taking the Presidency away from Trump, and giving the authority for the remaining days of this term to Mike Pence.

There will be much need to process these events, as the nation and its future remain at risk, as this author and blogger publishes this entry!

    The attack on the Capitol yesterday has re-ignited the conversation of the double-standard and outright violence that the police exhibit to peaceful communities of color versus white terrorist organizations. Daily Kos has a thread of the Twitter videos showing police being either tepid in their response to the violent mob, or actively egging them on in their attempt to seize control of Capitol Hill.

    Seconded. Y’all-Quaeda pretty much stormed the Capitol, but the police gave them the Ultra-Soft, Care Bears treatment. That disgusted me just as much as Trump et al.

    A lot of security deficiencies were revealed yesterday. Let’s hope potential foreign terrorists were not taking notes.

    Republicans in Congress cowering under their desks as violent men roamed the hallways finally understand what they’ve put every school kid in America through.

    CNN mentioned this morning that there was an increase in online chatter on social media by the rioters prior to January 6 and that they are chatting about possibly doing something on January 20.

    Betsy Devos is the latest cabinet member to resign over this. Maybe if enough of them resign, that’ll convince Pence to 25 Trump.

    House is planning impeachment. I think they should, so we can get Republicans votes on the record of who stands with the US and who does not.

    The House is going to introduce an impeachment resolution on Monday. Trump goes down in history as being the first president to be impeached twice.
