during the W years, a Republican Aide summed it all up when he was Talking to a Dem Politician in the House or Senate.

He stated: "We will do whatever we want, and your only action will be reduced to just watching" or something like that....

I am old and seriously doubt I will ever see any justice, or their complete and immediate destruction of our Democracy, Economy and Constitution,.........which ever comes first.

I honestly don't believe that most of the U.S. Citizens realize just how near we came, on Jan 6th, to the IMMEDIATE destruction of our Democracy, Economy and Constitution. And we are still on the brink of that happening today.

On Jan7th, if the Repubs had succeeded, they would have had, in place, a Corporate Fascist Tyranny forever more.
