You have heard all the words.
You have seen the images.
Like everyone, I was appalled. I was horrified. I believe in protests. I do not believe in angry protests.
He grows more like Hitler every day.
I believe he is not sane.

George and I toured the Washington DC Capitol on a peaceful sunny day in 2012. We enjoyed it a lot, and were amazed by things like the rotunda made ugly with statuary. Yesterday’s protestors just ignored all those badly carved marble things. We didn’t smash in any windows, sit in Pelosi’s office with our feet up on her desk, or wave the Confederate flag in folk’s faces. We didn’t die though four of theirs did one from my home town of OB.

We spent yesterday being appalled, our noses aimed toward the TV. I’d had my CT scan, I’d seen the results, two new, tiny nodules, and was mesmerized by the horror in Washington. This morning everyone in politics is discussing the 25th Amendment. Everyone in media too except the right wingers. They say it is all the media’s fault, it’s Antifa’s fault..
