Cunning, treachery, corruption, and ignorance

Many of us have been guilty of desiring things that we are not able to handle. The current president ran for the office and no one bothered to tell him that lying, corruption, and criminal behavior would get him into trouble. In fact many of our so-called leaders were busily trying to make everything appear okay when they were incredibly wrong. We are now in a situation where our identity as Americans is under assault by our own behaviors as a country. Our executive branch has become a den of thieves, our judicial branch seems to be political pawns, and our legislative branch debates whether lies are true. The American people seem to be showing that they don’t buy lies all of the time, and are ready to confront proven criminality. I am hopeful that the cunning, corrupt, ignorant, and even treasonous persons in positions of power and trust are concerned about their futures.

Patriots are stout against evil

I am thankful that I live in a country where people believe in the power of the truth, and that justice applies to everyone. I realize that many people are purchased everyday to keep secrets, and make justice lean toward the wealthy and powerful. Nevertheless I am a believer in my fellow citizens, and the righteousness of our constitution and founding ideas. The whistleblowers are risking everything to bring the truth to the American people, and the United States Congress. It may take awhile but eventually Americans do the right thing to paraphrase Winston Churchill. We have to remember that a sizable percentage of Americans thought we should ally with Hitler in World War II. There is always a portion of American society that hold contrary views to the majority. The key people are those who stand up in the face of evil and alert the rest of us to come to the defense of the republic. Remember what is happening now, and vote in every election!

How many impeachments will there be?

As the facts pile up about the current administration’s attack on the constitution and the rule of law; will there need to be multiple impeachment’s? The Secretary of State has been implicated as a co-conspirator who participated in using tax payer resources for the president’s 2020 political campaign. The Attorney General is implicated in efforts to get dirt on potential opponents, and clear Russia by investigating US intelligence agencies. The Vice-President is reported to have delivered messages to pressure the President of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s son, and some right-wing conspiracy theories. The gist of all of the administration’s behavior is damaging to the US republic, and supportive of Putin’s Russia. We must get to the bottom of everything that took place to threaten the republic in this administration; will it require more than one impeachment?

The smell of corruption grows

The Attorney General of the United States even being suspected of involvement in behavior that undermines the constitution is shocking and frightening. The current president has put the United States into a tailspin that has citizens learning to distrust every institution that holds the country together. He tells us to not trust the media, our intelligence agencies, former administrations to name a few. He tells lies so much that intelligent people assume if he is speaking he is lying. I am hopeful that more and more Americans recognize that the problem centers around one man, and not all of our institutions. There is a fix for the massive symptom of a societal problem in the White House; impeachment first, and new laws to strengthen our republic later.
