This Is Serious Business

Here we go again. 

The republican party, along with certain media outlets (Fox "News" the chief among them) are already beating the drums and repeating over and over and over and over and over (you get the point) that the impeachment trial of Donald Trump isn't even legal according to constitutional standards. 

 

 

Phooey!

Keeping it very simple and completely blowing any argument out of the water that the trial of twice impeached and disgraced former President Donald J. Trump isn't constitutional comes down to this . . .  Trump was the sitting President of the United States of America when he was impeached in the U.S. House of Representatives last month. 

Period. End of discussion. 

Now, get your popcorn ready and let the constitutional process begin. 

And if the republicans in the U.S. Senate have any kind of spine, they will vote to convict Trump for the charge he faces of inciting an insurrection against our country last month. It's doubtful that will happen, but at least this trial will resemble what it is supposed to be about. Unlike last year when the republicans held the majority in the senate and former leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't allow any witnesses in the first impeachment trial, this time there will be witnesses and plenty of them. 

But as the headline in this post reads - THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS and should be treated as such. 

What happened in the nation's capital on January 6th, 2021 should never be forgotten and must be taken seriously. Certain people who consider themselves to be Americans are attempting to downplay the whole thing and ignore the fact at least six people died in the coup attempt. The people that took part storming the capital must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that includes Trump, the ring leader of it all. 

Think about this for a long minute. What U.S. President gives a speech in front of the White House in early January to a raucous crowd while the process of finalizing the Electoral College vote is being conducted just up the street? 

That right there was a huge, red flag for all to see. 

Words have meaning and he knew what he and his cohorts were up to when they called those people to D.C. on that day. Even a number of law enforcement people were in on it, evidenced by the videos and images seen since the attack happened. Hell, they were even seen opening the barrier gates to let those traitors into the capital.

We all know what happened and have seen those videos and images of the idiots doing what they did and the asshole known as the twice impeached and disgraced former President of the United States was watching it on television as it all unfolded. Well, the coup attempt failed and now he and all of the people involved will face the consequences. 

Senate democrats must make it happen and not back down from their mission to bring Trump and his enablers to justice. 

As it has been said and is in fact the truth, there can be no unity in this country without justice. 

Period. End of discussion. 

After all, this is serious business.
