Reconciliation

January 29, 2019


This depresses me daily.

Why? Why? Why?

Regardless of whether Donald Trump colluded, conspired or had all night pajama parties with the Russians, shouldn’t we as a country want to find out exactly what the Russians did during the 2016 election and determine what the punishment and/or fix should be? 

Certainly I hate Private Bonespurs as much as any other lefty on the planet, but is the main reason why Repooplicans aren’t concerned about this is because it would de-legitimize the 2016 election and harm the credibility of the Tweeter-In-Chief?  First off, he seems wholly capably of harming credibility all on his own, but immaterial of that, I am willing to concede that even if whatever the Russians did or didn’t do to affect the outcome of the election, don’t we as Americans have a right to know what happened?  Simply knowing everything they tried to do (regardless of who might have helped them do it) and what we plan on doing about that going forward would be more reassuring than playing this impeach-him-or-not game the media parades before us day in and day out.  I don’t care if Trump stays President until 2077, I just want to know what a foreign enemy was doing to try to influence our democracy and what we plan on doing about it.  Why isn’t EVERYONE in our country equally concerned?  Either ignoring it and/or calling it a hoax seems simple-minded at least and dangerous at best .It doesn't matter whether it helped or hurt the Trump candidacy, I just want to know what they did and what we do about it!!!

I don’t mind spending $10 zillion conigliaros on a concrete border wall, but shouldn’t we as a country be given the research and analysis that leads to that conclusion?

I think a giant concrete wall stretching 2000 miles across the southern border is a wonderful idea!  It sounds as though, if designed properly, it would be an awesome tourist attraction that people from all over the universe would want to come and visit.  Maybe even slip little pieces of paper into it while crying and banging their heads up against it!   However feudal or ludicrous or super-duper-awesome it would be, doesn’t the government usually do studies that look at all the options in relation to a “National Emergency”  and issue a report that weighs all the options?  I want to see what bi-partisan governmental experts think about what to do about drugs, gangs and terrorists flooding across the Southern border.  Forgive me for not just simply believing what a xenophobic Man-Baby shrieks at jack booted knuckle draggers at rural hootenannies, I would like some measured, well considered alternatives before sending my tax dollars into the breach.

If the Trump Administration is not guilty of any collusion, conspiracy, money laundering or hooker showers why is there so much weird lying, covering up, condemning and obstructing of the investigation? 

If there ever was a reason to apply the phrase “me thinks he doth protest too much”, it is this set of circumstances.  I would be willing to, in the best interests of all concerned, presume that Trump and his neophyte pack of jackal-lanterns are just business-as-usual New York bidnessthugs who pull all kinds of Mob-esque shenanigans but really didn’t do anything so God awful that Chris Cuomo should have an on-screen aneurysm and keel over at his anchor desk about it.  Let’s just move on!  That being said, when someone spends so much time directing others to lie under oath and goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it, then I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY ACT THAT WAY.  If I helped an old lady walk across the street, I certainly wouldn’t be instructing my friends to lie under oath about whether I did it or not.    Why would you do or instruct others to do illegal things to cover up legal things?  That seems illogical.  Someone please answer me!
