The Senate is Not Going to Convict Trump, So Where Do We Go from Here?

[EndlessWire]

44. I am very worried.

I am shocked that the Repubs act this way. I thought the Constitution was kind of sacred, the kind of thing that people fight and die for...Repubs ignore it every danged day.

I am shocked as to their logic. They can't seem to think. And, they fear Trump, or Putin, or some danged thing or person that caused them to lose their spines, if ever they had any. I've never seen the like before.

I am appalled that religious leaders have chosen to elevate the likes of Trump to G-d status. But, this makes more sense if you stop to see that a lot of religious communities are formed and led by men who are in it for the money. I would advocate for the next Dem leader to tax the shit out of them. "The root of all evil is money." (Although, I'd like to have a bit more.)

When Trump declared that wall national emergency, he gave himself dictator-like Constitutional powers. He was supposed to renew them, but that is a technical detail likely to be ignored. Did the Courts take that back? So much has happened since then, I can't keep up with it all. These powers pretty much mean that he can cancel the election. This is what I fear the most. The power of our vote is our opposition to a dictator. It's what we have the most of, but he can cancel the election--even if he has no legal reason to do so. Would love to be corrected here.

We have to plan on civil disobedience and marching in the streets. All of us. We have to pray that the military sides with us. But, we have so many douche bags in the highest echelons of government that it is difficult to say what the odds are gonna be. As we watch various countries and their struggles to keep or achieve democracy, we have to study what they are doing right or wrong, and not be afraid to adopt their techniques. We have to be just as strong as they have shown themselves to be, and do likewise.

And, if there is an election, I fear what Trump will do next. He is not going to resign. He may refuse to leave office.

Did you know that Obama signed legislation that enables the UN to enter our country in case of, say, a civil war or something? Food for thought...
