Thoughts on Impeachment Redux - February 2021


February 13

Fight against
*lack of accountability
*bullying
*whataboutism
*subterfuge
*violence
*following vindictive false messiahs
*rampant racism 
*spreading lies and conspiracy theories
*a lust for power to benefit only a select few

Fight for
*justice
*understanding 
*truth
*equality
*healing
*support for people in need
*bipartisanship that works
*trust-based cooperation 
*peace

Thanks for that fight montage, O defense team of the past president. 
You now have many of us ready to use words, wisdom and ingenuity to bring us hope, to preserve well-being, and to maintain our democracy.

February 13 #2

57-43 in favor of conviction. 
Short of 2/3 majority needed for conviction, but the most bi-partisan vote for the conviction of a president on impeachment charges (as the vote to impeach took place WHILE he was president!) in American history. 
This came at a time when bi-partisanship has been ELUSIVE. 
57 senators agreed on something that was very important, and 7 of them demonstrated that it was not a partisan “witch-hunt.”  
So there are 43 that have some major explaining to do, along with the people who voted those senators in, and along with the state Republican parties that still support the witch.  
To my New Mexico Senators, thank you. 
To the Senators of the states where I lived most of my life, Kansas and Missouri, you definitely have some ‘splaining to do.   You have shown that you are not conservatives, by any means.  Good luck figuring out what you are.
