2021 is now done and 2022 has begun. Will this be the year of accountability? Will this be the year that democracy rises up and we again become the shining example for the rest of the world? Will this be the year that democracy begins is fade farther into the sunset? One thing I know for sure is the 2022 will be a year for the history books like no other.
We are fast approaching the first anniversary of the attack on our democracy, January 6th. That date will be forever associated with Trump and all of his supporters. When history writes about the events of January 6th no one who participated, with the lies leading up to it, will be spared and they shouldn’t be. It was a day when our American Flag was turned into a symbol of hate and was used to beat police defending our Capital. Everyone should have been outraged by that but too many weren’t. I really don’t think you can call yourself a flag waving patriot when you can justify our flag being used as a weapon against our police in an attempt to burn our Constitution and put a non-elected man in the White House. If they would have succeeded our democracy would have ended and that is not an overreaction on my part.
Like most of us I am not a lawyer but I have a good sense of right and wrong that was instilled upon me by my parents, community and the church. All my life I have been told that lying was bad and the church even said it was a sin. What in the hell has happened to us. Trump and his cronies’ tried to feed the whole country a lie that the election was stolen. He didn’t have any proof. The courts said he didn’t have any proof. His own Department of Justice stated that there was no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the results of the election. Trumps lies led to many of his Cabinet to resign before and right after January 6th. Some people like Barr wanted no part of the big lie. What was with the First Baptist of Dallas and the big lie. To me their Dec 19 celebration with Trump was not about the words of Jesus or the truth. It was about the big lie. Where the church is supposed to be remembering and glorifying the birth of Jesus and these people are worshiping at the feet of Pontius Pilot. That is really not an elaboration. The Church that had helped me know what was right and wrong was justifying the big lie. It makes me think about what else is the Church lying about.
We are approaching the anniversary of when our democracy was attacked and the only people that I see being held accountable is the people that believed the big lie. None of the Liars have been held accountable and continue to lie. I blame our Justice Department for that. Why has not an Independent Council been appointed to investigate the Insurrection and the lying that has been done by Trump and his cronies. The Justice Department appointed Kenneth Star an Independent Counsel to investigate Bill and Hillary Clinton and Whitewater and look were that led to, Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment of Clinton. You want to end the lying. Appoint an Independent counsel that has some power like Kenneth Star had. Susan McDougal went to jail for 18 months for refusing to testify. Guys like Flynn, Bannon and Miller refuse to testify to Congress and they are running around still telling the lies that caused the insurrection in the first place. Our Democracy is under attack which is a lot worse than Whitewater or oral sex in the Oval office. Even though it looks like the weakness from the Democrats that is not able to get action in reality in my opinion it is our Department Of Justice. We have people walking around that tried to conspire to bring down our democracy and the DOJ has not done anything to the people that were really responsible.
There was a black woman in Texas I believe her name was Crystal Mason that got a 5 years sentence for voting by mistake and her ballet was a provincial ballet that was never counted. Not a single insurrectionist has gotten a sentence that sever. It seems like you try to overthrow the government and that is just a slap on the wrist. We need justice, real justice and real accountability and in my opinion only the Department of Justice can give us that.
