Another Historical Day.

There's an old saying, "May you live in interesting times". It's both a blessing and a curse.  Well... These certainly are interesting times.

For the second time in is presidency, Donald John Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives. I'll let the historians give the details once all the investigations have been completed.

I watched and listened to the speeches given by President Trump at his "Save the Steal" rally. I heard him tell his followers to walk up Pennsylvania Avenue and take back their house and country. This after he traveled the country for the last two months telling his followers that the election was stolen from him. He keeps saying there was no widespread fraud, although his team was unable to produce any evidence of voter fraud in any of the 60-some lawsuits he lost across the country. Facts matter. The truth matters.

In my opinion, he incited the riot that ensued.

So far 6 people have died as a direct result of the actions of the mob that descended on the capital. Right now it looks like some of the Republican Senators were giving tours to the insurrectionists the day before the Electoral Votes could be confirmed by the House and Senate. 

Where all this is going to end up I'm not sure. I don't know if the Senate is going to impeach the president or if they're going to let him off the hook again. The mob built a gallows and they were looking for Vice President Mike Pence to hang because he wouldn't do what Trump wanted. They were also looking to kill Speaker Pelosi. There are videos of a woman with a megaphone who had detailed information on the layout of the building and what windows to break and which doors to go through.

A week later and I am still in shock.
