Field Negro: Lessons not learned.

This doesn’t feel like America in the years from 1972 to 1974, it just doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, what trump and his gang has done to the Constitution and political norms in this country is even worse than what Nixon did, but these are different times.

There was no FOX News, right-wingnut conspiracy blogs, newspapers, and podcasts protecting Tricky Dick like they have been protecting trump. These are hyper partisan times we live in, and the  cult of thirty eight percent protecting trump will not relent. There is nothing that this charlatan can do that will change their minds. They are all in, come hell or high water.

We keep waiting to see if leaders in the republican party will grow a pair, or suddenly get a conscience, but that too seems to be wishful thinking. Listening to cowards like Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham twist themselves into pretzels to defend the indefensible has been like a running joke. It all came to this when trump was caught trying to shake down the leader of a foreign country to help him dig up dirt on his main political opponent.

Honestly, Nancy Pelosi should have started this impeachment inquiry months ago.Mr. trump has done more than enough to have an investigation opened into his actions. If only Americans weren’t so busy “pursuing happiness” instead of focusing on what really matters: A real- estate huckster and con man  stealing a national election with the help of the Russian government. He got away with it, because Robert Mueller, bless his heart, thought that just doing things by the book would have an impact on trump and his criminal cabal. It didn’t.

But a funny thing happened on the way to Americans forgetting about what trump did with the Russians, the con man couldn’t himself, and just days after the Mueller Report, he was at it again. This time he was shaking down a country that desperately needed military equipment to fight off the Russians who were invading their country. “I need you to do me a favor, though.” Before I give you this three hundred million (that the American congress already approved you getting) I am going to need you to get some dirt on Joe Biden so that I can use it against him in the upcoming election in America. Unbelievable!

Mr. trump wants to meet the whistle blower who has exposed his corruption, and he thinks that he[she] should be executed. And, if he is removed from office, he believes that there should be a civil war in America. 

Let that sink in for a minute. A civil war. People die in civil wars, and countries are destroyed.

This of course means nothing to Mr. trump. His personal survival is all that matters. America be damned.

This is hard to say, but compared to trump, Nixon was a statesman.
