5. We need to be preparing for what's coming

in the very near future. I made the following comment a day or so ago but I still think this is where our thinking needs to be heading.


{T}here also is no mechanism in the Constitution for what I think we are bout to face. This will be a Constitutional crisis in that I think the level of complicity among the Republicans is rather vast... Here's the list of characters whom I think probably knew enough about the criminal activity and should be criminally charged:

PE, VPE, Speaker of the House, Majority Leader of the US Senate, several other Senators and House members along with the RNC chair and folks over at the Heritage Foundation. I am pretty sure some of these characters even helped promote this opportunity when the idea was being formulated. And then there is the money thing too so.


Should this dearth of information indicating collusion and sedition, most likely treason turn out to be true and provable beyond a reasonable doubt, what then?

We as a nation have to face this new thing and do the best we can to take legal and remedial action which is not outlined or specific in our Constitution. And as has been done in the past, we will have to decide what the path to restoring our democracy will be. I think the founding fathers knew they were not prophets and they gave us enough parameters to work within in order to figure it out for ourselves, and the Constitution is not the eternally final word on how to go forward, it does tell us how to go about it with the intent of retaining a democracy.

This is uncharted territory that we find ourselves in this day, it requires a lot of contemplation and soul-searching as a nation, a culture and as a species and we had better get it right and act swiftly with determination because this will be our last chance at long term survival on this planet in physical form.


And I would like to insert that I suspect that the kocktopus was in on it too, they sure backed off real fast last summer when it was evident to the conspirators/traitors that Putin was serious and that the fix was in. they all get everything they ever wanted as far as no obstructions in any way, the rest of us can go screw ourselves for not being them. And too many are infesting our government as their drones.

I want a redo of the election, if we don't have a mechanism for it then we better get busy and develop one right f'ing now.
