Governing in secret

The Republicans are reportedly asking for a secret ballot for President Trump’s impeachment trial, so their voters won’t know who to blame.

1 The Constitution’s impeachment process was intended to permit Congress to remove a public official from office. It isn’t supposed to permit the Legislative branch to bypass the judiciary and conduct Kangaroo court proceedings.

2 SCOTUS are a bunch of cowards who are refusing to perform their duties under the Constitution. The Chief Justice punts again.

This is the part where we get to see that the show trials common to every communist takeover are being held.

Leaving the party

Hundreds of voters who were registered to vote as Republicans are changing their party affiliation. The press is claiming that Republicans are leaving the party because they disagree with the riots in the Capitol.

I think that they are getting it wrong. There is a good number of voters who are sickened by how tone deaf the Republican leadership is towards its members. Perhaps many of them are leaving the party because they have come to realize, as I did more than a decade ago, that just because the Democrats are your enemy doesn’t mean that the Republicans are your friend, and the Democrats telling lies does not mean that Republicans are speaking the truth.

Too many of us are tired of being ignored by the political class in this country- a political class that intends to be our master, rather than our servant.
