The end of the world as we know it? The day American democracy was fractured. On a day when we should have been celebrating the Epiphany...on a day when we might have been celebrating democratic wins for the runoff elections in Georgia... on the day we should have had the confirmation of electoral votes signifying peaceful transition of power ... instead, rioters stormed the Capital. People died. Why? How? President Trump lost the reelection and then egged on a coup. This blood is on his hands. Windows were broken. The Confederate Flag flew inside the Capital!!!
I heard a lady on the news, I don't remember who she was. She was black and very well-spoken. She led with the statement that she longed for the day when innocent black-men were treated like guilty white men. One can't help but wonder what would have happened if those who stormed the capital had been black.
And Ted stinking Cruz!?!? Leading it all on.
Instead, these "patriots" had been encouraged by a President who just a couple of months ago had forcibly used pepper spray to disband peaceful BLM protesters so he could stage a photo op in a church -- where he was not able to answer the question of "is that your bible?"
Yes, Colin Kaepernick is still one of my heroes. He wasn't allowed to take a knee, but good, well-meaning white folks are allowed to break glass and smear feces on the walls of the capital? Really?
And 70 million + voted for this man? They are talking a second impeachment trial. But there is also talk that Trump can't be impeached if he's no longer president. That makes no sense to me. If not impeachment, then civil court? Criminal court? People died for goodness sakes!
January the 20th. can't come soon enough. There has to be a better day ahead.
