The Election

It has been over a week since the election and I would like to express some of my thoughts. It was a hard fought election with some dirty campaign ads from both sides. Most of the vicious ads came from the so called super pacs. Some of them were entertaining but some of them were just outright lies. I will have to say that I thought that Biden ran a more upbeat campaign than Trump. Both candidates’ super pacs were very negative. The problem with Trump is he gave too much cannon fodder for organizations like the Lincoln Project. Another problem with Trump was that there were too many tweets and recordings that supported what organizations like the Lincoln Project stated. He really is not a very nice man but that does mean he couldn’t have been a good President. Biden is a very nice man but that does not mean he will be a good President. We need both the right and the left to walk a straight line. We have been pulled to the right for a while and may need to be pulled a little left to compensate but we need to get to the middle of the road so we can go straight.

One of the main problems that I had with the Trump presidency is the fact that he made our fellow Americans, namely the Democrats the enemy. I am sorry but my next door neighbor is not the enemy. They are just my next door neighbor with a different view. We need a two party system for country to survive. Do you know examples of one party system? How about the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The two party system has worked for over 200 years and I hope it works for another 200. The last four years has been a big eye opener for me but that probably should be a whole other blog.

I do think that Trump would have been reelected except for the virus. His lack of leadership and his dishonesty to the American people will probably define his presidency in history. Calling something a Democratic hoax when you knew how bad it was is just not acceptable to me and I do not understand how it can be to anyone. At a time when we needed real leadership he told us that it would be magically be gone by April when he knew different. I know this fall after Woodward’s book came out that he said those things because he didn’t want people to panic. I believe that that was another lie. What he didn’t want to do was hurt the strength of the economy which was the platform he was running on. His greatest economy of all time and it cost people’s lives. We have a right to know the truth all the time from our President. Lying to the American people even if is not under oath should not acceptable. I know he is that the first and he won’t be the last. But I will call out any politician who lies to the people and it causes deaths. He lied and people died and I wonder how so many people can find that acceptable.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
