It is 51 weeks until the election for president, all
representatives, and a third of the senate. Today is the first day of the open
hearings on impeaching the White House bully, who attacks everyone who dares to
disagree with him, calling them names, belittling them any way possible. Yet most
polls say that 70% of potential voters have made up their minds about
impeachment and question how many will even watch the hearing. It seems that
the nation is the most polarized since the McCarthy era. The polls say that
those that support the president will stand with him regardless of anything he
does. I do not understand supporting a bully. It appears that most of the
Republican house members and senators are afraid of the president and his
supporters. This means that regardless of any impeachment in the House, the
trial in the Senate is a foregone conclusion. There will be no conviction, and
the bully remains until the next election. The race for the Democratic
nomination for president is a joke. It reminds me of what Will Rogers said. "I'm
not a member of any organized political party.... I'm a Democrat."
Amazing how things stay the same. I doubt if any Democrat can bring the party
together and get enough independent vote to get elected. I expect that we will
have a dysfunctional government in Washington for at least five more years.
Perhaps, even more dysfunctional than now. I keep thinking about moving out the
Estados Unidos, but more on that tomorrow.
