What I've Learned from the First Two Days of Impeachment II

First of all, let's be clear about this:  Trump intended to have Mike Pence murdered.  Yes, the President of the United States tried to precipitate the murder of the Vice President, and not just any Vice President, but one who was the worst kind of sycophantic toady for four years until he refused at the last moment to destroy himself in Trump's insane plot to steal the Presidency.  We have heard that Trump intended to "appoint" Mike Flynn to be the new Vice President, despite this being totally illegal, and that Flynn would have gone along with wrecking the certification of Biden's win.


Boy, whatever our historical inadequacies might be, that is a first for the United States.


Second, the only reason that this plot failed is that Trump is too stupid to pull off any real scheme.  That's why every time he has gotten his hands on a large sum of money, the only thing he has ever done with it is to finance his next bankruptcy.  If it weren't for Trump's stupidity, we would be living in a fascist dictatorship today.


Third, it would have suited Trump just fine to have much of the Congressional leadership murdered along with Pence, to put the fear of God into anyone who might think of standing up to him in the future, and to make his ascendency to dictator simpler.


And fourth, the Republican leadership and their 74 million brain dead followers are just fine with that.


After yesterday's presentation, I can't understand why anybody would not want Trump convicted by the Senate; after today's I do not believe he should ever be let out of a maximum security prison.  He is by far the worst criminal to have ever wormed his way into power in this country, and yet his fellow Republicans are just fine with that.  As I have said before, the Republicans ceased being a political party decades ago and voluntarily turned themselves into a criminal conspiracy; the last four years we even got a Mafia Don to go along with it, albeit a really cheesy one.  Again, we're just lucky he was such a bad mob boss, because the will was certainly there.


So, once ninety percent of the Republicans in the Senate vote to leave this monster at large, where do we go from there?  Because until they are destroyed like the vermin they are, they will keep going at it.  And I am afraid I don't have an answer to that question.

Trump told the crowd, "Go to the Capitol and I'll be there with you." The crowd went, he went to the White House. Why didn't he go with them, like he promised? Because he knew there would be a riot and danger. In 1863, at the Battle of Gettysburg, Lee had directed Jeb Stuart to circle around the Union forces and attack from the rear. Custer, yes that Custer, saw the Confederate forces and yelled to his men, "Let's go, you wolverines." Let's go, not you go. He led his men. Say what you will about Custer, he did not lack for courage. And now we have a fabulist, sociopathic, sadistic, narcissist who is also completely gutless. And people WORSHIP him. What is the matter with those people?

God only knows, Joseph. I've been trying to figure it out for fifty years now, and I don't have a clue.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
