We can’t plead the fifth

After the 2020 election, all was explained to Trump.
He understood but dismissed the results.
Trump’s bogus claims were “bull-sh__“ as Bill Barr so bluntly put.
Yet as the Country’s AG he did not tell US what truly was afoot.
He also spoke of “whac-a-mole” – the wild accusations presented to prove there was election fraud.
It was on his watch that Trump collected a quarter of a billion dollars with not a cent being used for the stated cause.
While they bled money from main street to investigate.
To recount over and again.
Through the courts with no evidence or case.
Thrown out due to baseless claims.
Pressuring State officials, threatening poll-workers.
Presidential duties aside, for mob-like.
Is the right not angry about that?
Why not? – Because he and they aren’t Democrats?

Trump and his team show no respect for the American people or the Constitution.
There was no care for Mike Pence and government officials – planning for their execution.
The same side that claims each fertilized egg ought to be given a chance to live.
But don’t give a damn after they do.
Playing each other and the American people as fools.
Imagine the President of the United States taking advice from a lawyer who was inebriated.
Going against what was consistently said, to find who would tell him what he wanted to hear.
Wanting to oust and replace officials with his minions.
Several threatened resignation.
Trump zoned in for personal gain, jeopardizing National Security.
Not unlike how Americans seem to be.
It’s noble to try to secure for house, home and family.
But to ignore amorality, attacks to democracy and not care for Country is deplorable.
The Nation seems to be packed with people who think and act like Trump.
That’s why voting to him and his kind are up.
Americans – be honest about who you are.
Many now lacking in values and character.
You can continue with your smoke screens.
But what lies beneath is easily seen.
They label themselves as patriots and profess to be upstanding.
Only true to their branding.
Because when you need alternative facts to do that.
There is no credibility to the claims.
Without their own puffs, nothing remains.

Some who are testifying to the committee portray as if they did amazingly right and acted totally brave.
Yes, thanks to them, it was to a slim save.
But you’re not a hero for standing with truth after the crucial hour and because you are forced to.
High praise for Mike Pence as he didn’t bend to Trump’s bullying.
Who was calling on him to steal the election from Biden.
He did what he was hired to and what his position required him to do.
He would show bravery if he came out and yelled the raw truth about this dangerous man.
He can, as an American.
Not as a Republican.
Or one with hopes of securing Trumpian votes come 2024.
Is his silence because of desires for that future score?
Yes, those in the DOJ and the State officials held firm against the overthrow.
But they didn’t, in real time blatantly and directly, warn the American people.
They drew the line on what they themselves wouldn’t do.
But they were, and are still permitting of those who continue to destroy democracy.
There is still Party loyalty.

As we allow leaders to feign, reign and escape.
We give them more power to determine our fate.
They are given immunity and safe passage through.
But they, and reality won’t be as kind to me and you.
Americans are permitting certain politicians to choose who gets to ride the bus.
When their job is to ensure accessibility to all in US.
They’ve been mapping out to their desires and wants.
Another attempt at segregation.
Whether Black versus White, rich against poor, who should get less and who deserves more.
Those on the right actively try to stop the inclusion of and Rights to LGBTQ-Plus.
They show they are terrified of the rise of Blacks and people of color in US.
As the infiltration of White Nationalists in our politics and communities remain unchecked.
From Trump, as President to the man on the street.
White Supremacy is yet to be marked for defeat.
From Jewish organizations to law enforcement – they still prop those at the top who commiserate.
To supporters of fascists, these entities still endorse and donate.
So into throwing stones, while not keeping tabs on their own.
What America now sprouts is likely organically grown.
Displaying a default of pure honesty – what is seen is to the true belief.
Because when there are times, ways, means and tools to stop.
They do not.
Chaos, hatred and terror.
This new but real America.
Actions and lack of actions are incriminating.
Enough Americans dictating.
But when the outcomes and consequences hit, we won’t get away with commenting “bullsh__”.
Nor will we be able to do as the corrupt politicians did, which is to plead the fifth.
They may be able to evade accountability and responsibility.
That won’t be our reality.
