Well....that was quite a day yesterday.
I stayed up and only felt able to sleep after seeing Lindsey Graham say to the Senate floor- "Stop it!! Give it up!" (and it looked like he was close to weeping) And they voted to let Arizona's count stand. Even his golfing buddy had had enough. Hawley is beyond contempt.
Well, a new day. Mitch has got 13 days left but not much remaining support. People aren't getting their $600 checks. Facebook has banned the President for...how long? Twitter is feeling it's way to a ban. But the Talking Heads seem to think Trump likes Facebook best so he's taking this badly. They are "thinking" about the 25th Amendment a bit late, I think. And Golfers are getting the Medal of Freedom. But refuse to attend.
The Sun is shining here in Maine but it's cold. I have books to pick up at the Library and I have an overdue book. I finished the mending of the elbow patches on my favorite sweater during the riots. I made myself a bowl of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for supper. And I took antacids before bed.
And I am sad to have to say- if the rioters had been Black.........the steps to the Capitol would be red this morning. Instead the rioters were angry gray haired old white men and women mostly and a bunch of young men who are possibly finding it difficult to find a job. And they were treated with staggering politeness even as they screamed hate filled words at the policemen.
This is America. Before. During. After. Trump. We need help .
And now the officer that shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back will face no charges. Systemic racism is alive and well.
ReplyDeleteYes. I grew up with black students in my elementary classes back in the 1950's. Thinking everyone was exactly the same. Our next home- everyone was white. My roommates and friends in college in the 60's were black women. I liked them. I played cards with them. None of this hatred has ever made sense to me.
