We are witnessing one of the greatest instances of mass insanity in history. If we assume a certain number of wealthy people and racists voted for Trump out of perceived self-interest, knowing full well that Trump is a pathological liar, that leaves roughly 30-40% of the American electorate whom we can consider to be literally delusional, wacko, bonkers, nut cases.

Failure to convict Trump in the Senate and/or try him in a court of law would be a disaster, confirmation that our system of government, our Constitution and our way of life are a total failure. National suicide.

This is it, folks.

Reading this this morning reminds me of what I went to sleep watching from the US Capitol. The respect being shown to Office Brian Sicknick is what's right about America. The fact that this is happening shows how we need to repair so much in America. And having President Biden and the First Lady show up, and show up quietly, shows we have competent, caring and decent leadership back in the White House. January 6 is a date that we must remember as a day that terror struck this country -- and it was instigated by the then-still-President of the United States. Let us learn. Let us place a higher value on facts and truth. Let no government employee like Ms. Conway ever try to say there was something truthful in alternative facts. Brian Sicknick died for his country. A country the President takes the oath of office to protect.
