I underestimated Donald Trump...

 and for that, I apologize.

After four years of his boasts and threats, which were inevitably never backed up, I thought his proposed "wilding" on January 6th would be yet another bust.  But somehow, he managed to gin up a good lynch mob to bust in the US Capitol and run amok forcing the US Congress to Flee for their lives.  The building ransacked, the Constitution and Our Flag mocked, Our Sacred Reputation Dishonored, Democracy Imperiled, Lives Lost...yup it took him Four fumbling years but Trump finally got his Reichstag Fire.

And of course, he made a botch of that as well.

In a sad mirthless way, we can be grateful that Trump is too much of a twitchy anarchist with a short attention span, he finally conjured up a homicidal mob to put the US Capitol to the torch and then went inside the White House to watch it unfold on TV. 

Thank God Almighty and all the Angels and Saints, he is no real leader per se, a leader, with sufficient demoniacal energy, might've carried the day somehow last week. Instead Trump railed like a child, tweeted out threats (until Twitter finally had enough of his nonsense) and fatally lost his chance.  Trust me, next time, we won't be so lucky.  Someone like Juan Peron or Franco or Dear God Vladimir Lenin, would not have sat back and waited for chaos to do their job for them.  Last week Senators Cruz & Hawley, betrayed their oaths to Defend the US Constitution but, trust me on this, They Damn Well Took Notes All During the Siege of the Capitol, when it's their turn, they won't be watching it on Fox News believe me!

Of Course, Trump must needs be impeached again, if only to bar him from ever holding office again and cutting off his access to ex-presidential resources. Its prospects are as usual uncertain, thanks to the Scum of the Rotten Boroughs, nonetheless Congress Must Protect Itself, the matter has come down to survival. That is, if VP Pence doesn't man up, and invoke the 25th Amendment, no one would blame him, he was there that day with his wife and the crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence".  But this is Mike Pence we are talking about, the damn fool is actually worried about his standing in the 2024 NH Primary!! That is if we are still having elections by then!!!???

Once sworn in, President Biden should also come out for a statutory Presidential Commission to investigate the attack on Congress on January 6th, with full subpoena powers. Said commission needs to fully "contact trace" the mob rule contagion and not let right wing cultists off with a pat on the ass!  The New Attorney General needs to zealously pursue anyone who broke into the Capitol that day whether they had mischief or murder on their minds.

Congress is well within its rights to subject the Capitol Police to the "Vertical Stroke", there was bad faith present in the ranks, poor decision making all of which cost lives when the moment of truth arrived. That in turn, makes the deaths of Officers Sicknick & Liebengood all the more tragic & appalling.  Congress needs a dedicated Security Apparatus that will safeguard the legislative process and the legislators. At the very least the command structure must be completely revamped, new training, tactics and equipment must be procured and sadly Tactical Squads should be added to the mix. This cannot be allowed to happen again for lack of proper security. Senior Officers of Said Force, if they do not now, must report jointly to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the House Speaker.

In the end, there can be no reconciliation with a Lynch Mob, There is No Debating with a Murderous Crowd Bent on the Establishment of Tyranny Among Us.  It all comes down to this: Are You For the US Constitution, or are For the Terrorists?

And if, you are For the US Constitution are you willing to fight for it?

Because right now, we've won at best, a two year reprieve.  Trumpism is still rampant in the GOP, big money still favors the most appalling extremism, we are going to have to go deep and start winning elections, from the state legislature on up. Soon enough we'll be back down in these trenches again. If Rep McCarthy had been House Speaker last week, he'd a unlocked the doors for the mob and crawled before the White House begging for mercy.  Just thank your lucky stars that Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, this election might've been postponed canceled or simply ignored, but for her!!

Elections in this country just got very serious indeed because the way I reckon it, we are one mid term away from complete disaster.  I cannot myself force a split in the GOP between the Falange and the alleged "True Conservatives" thats something for the opposition to do, all I can do, is tell you a whole new war has broken out, and we need to get better at politics, tougher, harder and more resolute.
