Short Thread - My Closing Statement on the 2020 Election

2 Minute Read

Let's compare what we've been living through these past 4 years to the Preamble to the Constitution.

The overall objective:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union . . .
The goals of the document:

. . . establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity . . .
The action taken:

. . . do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

So how are we doing?

Our Union is far from perfect. In fact, it is the most divided it has been since April 12, 1861.

Establish Justice? Trump/Barr have undermined Justice.
Ensure domestic Tranquility? Trump's divisive rhetoric has intentionally destroyed tranquility.

Provide for the common defence?
Trump is clear, he is President of his supporters & no one else. Even then, his defense is strictly self-serving as #COVID19 clearly demontrates.
Promote the general Welfare? He downplayed a pandemic that will kill approx 400,000 Americans before he finishes his first term. If he's reelected, it could be millions.

Secure Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?
Trump is a would-be Dictator who seeks to destroy Democracy.
He has resisted oversight, ignored subpoenas, refused to participate in or allow testimony.

Fired those who would dare speak against him, undermined the whistleblower program & openly attacked, even threatened those who dare speak the truth - (loyal, tenured civil servants).
It is impossible to support both the US Constitution and Donald Trump (and his enablers/supporters). They are clearly opposing forces.

It's clear, through their writings, that the founding fathers would not have supported a Trump-like Presidency. In fact, they warned against it.
So, as you vote, your choice isn't between a Republican and a Democrat. It's between Donald Trump, (his words, actions, objectives, and behavior) and the US Constitution.

Helpful hint, as you consider your choices - Trump isn't sent by God, nor does he embrace Christian values.
Please vote wisely. Vote like a patriot should . . . While you still have that option.

BTW - Do you really think every news outlet on Earth is reporting fake news, except @FoxNews?

You know what's true and what you want to hear. If those 2 things are different, that's on you.

Life or Death Thread:

To restart our economy, without killing 1000's more Americans, we will need a logical plan.

1. Test/Categorize Americans into 3 distinct categories:

A) Home/Isolated/High Risk/Infected
B) Workers/At Risk
C) Workers/Immune/Antibodies Present (Donors)
It's pretty easy to understand how Groups A & C will function moving forward. We're seeing those groups emerge now & function successfully, so we will focus on group B here.

2. Protect Group B, (Workers/At Risk):

A) Develop free disposable self-tests & require daily testing.
B) Develop an app to monitor testing & contact tracing that includes an "exposure alert system."

C) Develop detailed PPE & workplace protective equipment, and put the onus for providing them on employers. (PPE purchased by Gov., in bulk, sold at cost to employers).

My friend Bill called me today, said he was on his way to see his Dad in the hospital. Here's how our conversation went.

Me - Ok, but hold on, you told me your Dad was dead!

Bill - Yeah, that was his idea, he didn't want anyone to know we had him committed.

Me - Wait! What?
Me - When?

Bill - Back in 2015 when I told you he died.

Me - So, he's been in a mental institution ever since?

Bill - (Sounding very sad) Yes.

Me - But why?

Bill - Well, you remember he had that wreck around Thanksgiving of '14 and got that big knot on his head? Right?
Me - Sure! You said that blow to the head is what done him in a few months later.

Bill - Well, I lied.

Me - (Not hiding my disappointment) Obviously.

Bill - Well, after the wreck Dad started seeing things, crazy things.

Me - Like what?

Bill - Stuff that didn't make sense!

Of course, my account should be on your list! 😃👇
4. Now, go back to Settings and Privacy and TURN OFF push notifications.

Ok - You will not get annoying alerts every time someone on your list tweets, (you probably got some while completing this process), but you will get a handy list of their tweets.

Where you ask?

I've been following & resisting this mess since Trump announced in 2015. Here's my theory:

1. Trump is a Russian asset.
2. GOP emails were stolen, by Russia, when the DNC was hacked.
3. The emails details Russian coordination & $ flow to the DT/GOP via the NRA & straw donors.
4. It's been made clear to the GOP members that the repercussions of exposing the Trump/Russia alliance would include major political, legal, and even personal/family welfare concerns.
5. We are in the midst of a clandestine war with Russia. An attack decades in the making.
The racism, lies, divisive rhetoric, the gradual but persistent adjustments & acceptance of increasingly outrageous behavior and events, (including blatant and transparent corruption) . . . are all tools used by Hiltler's Germany & perfected by Putin & the USSR's KGB.

As I watched the @GOP House Members stand up & lie for Trump yesterday...

As I see @FoxNews, Conservative Media, and Trump lie several times per day...

I ask myself, shouldn't we do more to identify & present the truth to the American People?

The answer is YES!
I suggest that @SpeakerPelosi & @SenSchumer do two thing immediately:

1. Form a bipartisan "Truth Group" of former members of Congress, 5 Dems/5 GOP, and call on them to evaluate the validity of Trump/GOP/Dem/Media claims/statements.
2. Appoint a spokesman for the House Impeachment Process that briefs the Media daily (M-F) on the progress of the impeachment process. Have them report on the findings of the Truth Group.

A #ClimateStrike poem for our kids.

Grandpa I Can't Breathe
____________________________________

This morning I flew to Dallas, to see my son and his wife Alice,
and to hold my grandson for the very first time.
When I laid my eyes on that young child, I recognized a face I hadn't seen in a while, but one I had seen hundreds of times before.

In dreams I had many years ago, I'm holding a child I did not know, but It's a child I that obviously loved.
His face is pale and his chest is heaving, his arms extended, his tears are streaming & I hear him whisper Grandpa I can't breathe.

Over and over I watched him die, with no breath in him left to cry, his mouth is open as he stared straight up at me.
