Sandy, thanks for your service to the Felt family. It is a reminder that the important thing is to remember we are dealing with people, not just stories, ideologies, prizes, or egos.

Helping the wonderful Felt family helped me as much as it helped them. It was an honor to help a man whose courage and integrity saved us from Richard Nixon, Spiro “Ted” Agnew, and the fascist mob of then... that mob did not retire. Trump Inc., is CREEP and AG John N. Mitchell - then jailed. The beat goes on - a republic if you can keep it. Bill Barr is a fraud, too - and Mike Pence married to his Mother is another insipid ambitious mess.

I recoil every single time the clip plays of Barr fake laughing at that book written by D'Souza in the hearings. Attempts to distance himself from Team Crazy reak of oily self serving duplicity.

I never liked Barr....he needs to go to jail! He helped to allow Trump to do what he did until he was afraid. Now he is trying to save his hindend!

In 2019 I made a meme with Barr's pic, captioned "It's very appropriate when a toady actually looks like a toad."

(Oh, come on, didn't everybody think it?)

I wonder how many lives are being ruined by the Trump fiasco. Some deservedly so, but others not. I know one orange faced person whose life needs to be ruined behind bars. And soon.

“ That operative, who sports a tattoo of Nixon on his back, was Roger Stone, who went on to advise Donald Trump’s political career.”

And so the world turns as we watch, this time in broad daylight, history repeat itself….

Perhaps if actual, real history, could be included in the textbooks of our schools, and teachers and their students encouraged to carry on critical thinking conversations about real and actual choices made by nefarious, bigoted, individuals drooling over greed, power, and control of those they deem less than, what an enlightened world we might be. Naïve I suppose, but one can dream. The Gilded Age is alive and well. :/

Santayana.

Amen. That shoe fits. With maybe one variation. Santayana told us we had to remember the lessons of the past in order not to repeat them. Nowadays, we remember the lessons of the past, but we still haven't been committed to using those lessons to make significant changes in the system. Seriously, how are we going to stop this downward spiral of our nation? How are we going to eliminate corruption?

I did not know the history behind Santayana. I know some now. :) Many thanks.

Actually, I think it's an old oligarchy chess game plan, that has backup plays whenever it runs into a hitch with it's victims.

Another weasel would be Roger Stone. Sometime I wonder if he was the “mastermind” (ha, ha) of both these repulsive events.

No doubt he played a significant role in the attempted overthrow. He has been surrounded by his pals for protection - white nationalists!
