Ground Zero for Democracy

When the Electoral College voted Donald Trump into the presidency, shocking and dismaying people of sound mind, Obama told us to stand down, let's see how this plays out, maybe he'll grow into the office, but that's how the democracy goes sometimes, the people win some, the people lose some.

Then he went water skiing with Richard Branson as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Shortly after that, almost like it had been set up and ready to go like, like, a pandemic manual, a massive criminal investigation was launched into that election and the world watched a stock photo of Robert Mueller and a couple of stern faced prosecutors come and go while the office grew into Donald Trump.

And not just the office. Everything. People wrote into their own obituaries that their only regret was dying before the end of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

And when Robert Mueller handed in his small piece of that massive and ongoing criminal investigation, 600 pages of redactions so as not to compromise ongoing matters resulting from that massive criminal investigation, called in early by law and order thwarter, Bill Barr, Nancy Pelosi said she wanted a democratic solution to Donald Trump, not a criminal one.

Then impeachment without conviction came along, as was a foregone conclusion, because, as Lindsay Graham became famous for saying, "if we nominate Trump, we will be destroyed, and we will deserve it".

So in for a penny, in for a pound, may as well go down swinging our golf clubs.

But then COVID-19 came along and a stay-at-home order and the shutdown of the economy and armed white nationalists loitering on the steps of state legislatures making death threats against politicians while law and order pretty much turns a blind eye until they get tired and go home.

I don't know about you, but, Obama pandemic plan or not, nobody really seemed to expect or be prepared for COVID-19. And that includes armed white nationalists. I mean, they can't even get arrested for making death threats against politicians from the steps of state legislatures.

Law and order has bigger fish to fry. Somewhere. Just not where anyone can smell it going down.

Well last week, apropos of nothing, Joe Biden said he will not pardon Donald Trump. And Obama gave a presidential commencement address, a call to individual and collective action from graduates, in which he alluded to the problem of an infantile degenerate occupying the White House, and then seemed to punctuate it with a tweet, "vote".

So that's it, that's going to be the lesson to Americans and the rest of the world, including the despots and the global mob who have caused us so much death and destruction, that the best fix for the problem of Donald Trump is, as Nancy Pelosi said, democracy.

But then I want guillotines on the front lawn of the White House.
