I had been lulled into
the sense of complacency
by the time of
the attack on the US capital on January Sixth 2020.
I was on edge through most of the elections, and pins and needles
from the time the counting started until Pennsylvania
was called for Joe Biden.
Then
the last of
the crazy law suits brought by the Trumpsters crazy lawyers.
Many of the
politicians and the TV talking heads were saying that
“This
is the most important election of our lifetime”, and
it was. I can
not even imagine how bad it could be now if the Trumpsters were still
in the white house. And so is this election. Just like the Super Bowl
every year is
the most important game of the year. So is the election every year
the most important, only it is not a game. This is a contest for the
continuation of our country as
a functional republic.
We (The
USA) survived
the attempted coup
d'état
of the last
election of 2020 by
the Republican leadership.
The sixty
three law suits filed
to challenge the already certified counts in the
several states,
that all failed. Then
attempts to appoint alternate slates of false electors in several
states. The
full out assault on the capital on the day to certify the results of
all the states elections
on
January Sixth.
The
crazy “Forensic”
re-recounts in Arizona and several other
states. The
refusal
of the people around the Trump
gang to come and testify for
the insurrection
investigations of the
January Sixth Committee, while
lying about it out
in public media.
This is not over.
The Republican Party criminals will not quit, they have to much to
loose. Whether it is time in prison, or loss of the giant fat
cat bribes. Bribes
that are
destroying
the foundation of the republic
and the Constitution,
ever
since
the insane
CitizensUnited decision of the Supreme Court
in
2010.
Vast
amounts of untraceable dark money in every kind of local and national
political campaign.
As
our former President Jimmy Carter framed it, “The country has
become an oligarchy of unlimited bribery.
The Supreme
Court is now way beyond any authority or powers ever granted in
Article
Three
of the US Constitution.
They were never granted the authority
or
ability in
the Constitution
to define words or redefine words. Plane and simple, Corporations are
not People, and Money is not Speech.
Now after years
of
obstruction of appointments to the courts by Mitch McConnell
during
the Obama years.
Then
with
the
very
fast
appointment of several extremest Justices to the court in
the trump years.
Who
all
committed
perjury in the appointment hearings with the Senate. All claiming
that Roe v Wade was well settled in law before being confirmed to the
court.
There were
discussions during the Constitutional Convention and the adoption of
the Amendments, to
also
include medical freedom that
document.
This did not happen. Even
back then, the idea of how important medical freedom was,
was
very
well recognized.
Now the fundamental right to medical care by women is in danger of
being regulated away or
even
criminalized by these Republican extremists.
Not
just voluntary Abortion, but even to criminalize birth control and
prevention. No
exception for a spontaneous miscarriage of a fetus
with genetic
congenital or
other problems. To
say nothing of the
states ready to institute trigger laws that have
no exception for rape
or incest. And then to criminalize women that
have gone through
that. That is beyond crazy, that is amoral,
heartless and cruel.
The
Republican leadership say
they value freedom,
say they want to
protect babies, even before they come out of the
uterus, but do
not
want to protect the women. They refuse to support common sense
gun ownership restrictions, and let thousands
of kids die of gun
violence. Guns are now the number one cause of
death in children in
America, even
more than
car wrecks.
The
words of these Republicans in leadership do not match their
actions.
What is it? What is more important? Money from the gun
lobby, or to
protect our children? Forcing women to carry a child to
full term
even if it kills her? Forced
birth or freedom? Which
is it?
We
are again at the point of the most important election in
our life
time. The
Super Bowl of Democracy. Every
year is the most
important election, even the off year elections for
governors, mayors
or school boards.
The tyranny of the few crooked oligarchy in the
Supreme Court and a
few hundreds of Republicans in leadership in
DC, and the several
state capitals. We can never allow this to
continue. End
the Republican
Party.
Never support
a republican or
corporation that supports Republicans and this attack
on our country,
until the ship of state is set aright. They
seem to forget the part that
says “We
The People”.
