"Well---it's-----complicated!" How many times is that or a similar phrase used to excuse why

we aren't doing what we damn well know needs doing?

Those who support the disregard of a valid and fair election and encourage others to overthrow our newly-elected president should not be permitted to serve in Congress.

Will history accept "It's complicated" as an explanation for our "moving on in the interest of unity"?

Are simplicity and painlessness now prerequisites for punishing criminals in office?

Must we be assured of victory before we will fight?

Not an honest reason. Those are simple.

To me that is all the media not just the special conservative all lies all the time junk. They continue with the false equivalency and fairness, both sided even when faced with the attack on the U.S. Government that occurred on Jan. 6. Allowing justification of the continued sedition by people serving in Congress and their explainers time to deliver the lie and defend supporting the lie.
