Hello Eric. Your concerns are well founded.

“I pray that that they are using this time to make an airtight case against, as opposed to temporizing and trying to make a case that will sell to the other whatever% as to why they just can’t bring him to justice.”

I’m convinced it’s airtight case.

The Arizona political stunt is being widely panned everywhere, including inside the justice system. The voting machines they’ve touched have already been identified as contaminated and unusable.

In the 2022 election, I believe the Republicans will be routed. I’ve been watching the trend for a year and a half now. The Republican Party is becoming marginalized. They are moving towards the fate of the California Republican Party, permanent minority status. That is the direction of travel. The speed of travel is anybody’s guess, but 2022 does not look good for the Republican Party.

As Annette and others have said, you are speaking for many many people. Here and abroad. I certainly understand the anxiety, the panic, there is some of that within my own family. The most shocking thing of all was January 6. Now post-election and post-1/6 we are witnessing the fallout, the fiasco of the old white racist society’s last wild attempts to cling to power. Their hold on power is disintegrating, as is their political party of choice. Good riddance to bad rubbish, as the English say.

Well, I will say that as soon as I saw so many of the Republican leadership DENOUNCE the violence and then AMPLIFY the lie, it reinforced to me that only truth will defuse this ticking bomb they have created.

So I believe their duplicity is their downfall. I feel it in the depths of my love for this country that our current president will do what is necessary to assure passage of the voting bills, the infrastructure bills.....basically all the action to guardrail and move our democracy out of the swamp, will happen. I’m actually pretty excited about it all.

Pres Biden strategically will always go bipartisan first, but don’t think for a minute he will get stuck there with a Dem majority to do the work and, as important, the majority of people that voted for him and are firmly behind him. A rather formidable group, if this stream serves as an example of that.

I choose to put my faith behind that. It’s my fuel for all the things we must do. There’s a lot of people to bring into the circle and off the caste ladder. Imagine the shame of it....400+ yrs.

I’ll repeat what I think was and is the original download from the Creator.

“We are all in this together. There is enough to go around.”

I affirm it every day.

Thank you, Roland. I agree. Hopefully, we're correct.

Roland, thank you for the link. It proves that there are at least some Republicans in the legislature who have decent intentions. My hopes for any moderation in the Republican party are quite low, but I still predict that the majority of voters will be able to place the blame squarely where it belongs, and that Biden will fulfill our confidence that he'll unequivocally support any and all efforts to eviscerate Trump and his acolytes, including Bill Barr, formerly described as "a lawyer's lawyer," prior to his elevation to AG. Quite the joke, right?

From your lips Roland, but, I’m not feeling it right now, much as I want to.

That’s OK. As I said, members of my family don’t feel it either. Maybe that’s why I’m around. I am fortunate to be seeing an optimistic trend.

Do I understand Eric’s feeling of being shocked? Hell yes. Do I understand the anxiety and the concern? Hell yes. We wouldn’t all be here on this channel otherwise.
