Ramblings...

Its been alittle while since I got to sit down and write something. I was watching the Jan6th committee meetings today and the thought still ran through my mind as it did on Jan6th in that if this were any other country in the world and they attacked the capital, the military would have opened up on them and very quickly ended the uprising. Since we live in America where we seem to have an amazing tolerance for everything but people who are different, short prison sentences in most likely country club jail seem to be the lesson learned and presidential pardons. The republican politicians who seemed to so quickly run for their lives , just as quickly decided it was no big deal. Seeing the video's from that day and days after then months after, what a difference. 

Today's politician seems to be willing to trade everything that makes them a moral and responsible human being for power and money. Most if not all are already millionaires so what is driving them?..its power. The power to force people to live their lives how others see fit. The legislation passed in the last few months taking away a woman's right to choose what happens to and in her own body with little or no exceptions. Rumors of the supreme court "re-considering" hard won civil rights for the LGBTQ+ community and as usual the voting rights of (usually) minorities and the poor of all races. The voting rights are endangered (as usual) to help keep those in power in power. Its the same reason we dont have term limits. The people in power are going to pass legislation limiting themselves to a few terms? hardly. 

          We are at fault for the most part because we continue to elect these fools and they know who they are. Politicians who show up during the election cycle and promise the moon then disappear until the next cycle. Every state has them. None of the 50 are immune to this. With all the social media out there the best we can do is complain about Biden or Trump or whatever idiot is in the stupidity spotlight that week. Dont get me wrong , Several senators spend months seemingly basking the light of Idiocrasy. A massive Ice storm strands thousands in the dark and cold, their senator splits to Cancun. A governor spends desperately needed funds for a political stunt to ship 50+ immigrants to Martha's vineyard and sit back in horror as they are welcomed by the residents. Who would have thought. They didnt even have to decency to call ahead but somehow FoxNews was there at the airport. 

Back to the Jan6th thing. If this were indeed another country, I'd like to think the powers that be wouldnt be afraid to do what should be done. What is the fear that strikes these people ?...I wish some would tell me..
