We've all seen movies where, after a prolonged and terrible fight, the "good guy" FINALLY

knocks the bad guy down and apparently "out" only to be stabbed in the back by the revived villain as he walks away. We have all shook our heads and wondered why in the world our hero was so foolish as to ASSUME the monster was dead

"WHY didn't he MAKE SURE the guy would never ever rise again?" we asked ourselves.



Joe Biden is our "good guy" and he has knocked "the monster" down.

This movie isn't over.

For trumpism to die and to ensure that no one can ever do what he did in regards to trampling our governmental norms for his own purpose.

Both Rumsfeld and Cheney were staffers. Since Watergate people were never prosecuted they walked away clean. The most important thing we can do after electing Biden's team is to drive a stake through the heart of every MF'er who ever worked for Trump.

In a multi-day presentation and analysis of "Silence of the Lambs" that I attended. Back when he used to attend a conference every spring at the University of Colorado.

Nice to realize we're living in a horror movie.
