I read an article about what blogs to follow — what’s trending — what the majority of people care enough about to read. Mommy blogs are extremely successful but that’s certainly not me. Doggy blogs aren’t in great demand, but oh! If only they were!
I could do a blog about design with tutorials on various Adobe products, or WordPress, or even Divi theme design, snippets of code, etc. No fun. And, there are so many with more technical knowledge than I.
What I do instead is just write about whatever I want to. I enjoy going back in time and being able to find things I thought were important enough to write about at the time. This site has been active now since 2008. It will never be trending or recommended to anyone and I’m good with that. 🙂
So having said all that, the only reference I’ve made to the US Capitol or Trump is about how social media is filled with vitriol and a bit about censorship. In 10 years, will I remember how I felt if I don’t record it here? Just to be sure, here’s a brief synopsis of what I think and I’m a-ok if you don’t agree.
I think Trump did some great things during his time as president and my views aligned with many of his. I have always believed Trump to be a bully. I’ve never defended his constant Tweets and would’ve loved for someone within his team to control him in that regard. I believe he was treated unfairly by the press throughout his term in office, and I believe the Democrats pursued him relentlessly. The press twisted his every comment and that caused him to be even more boastful and the viscous circle continued. So much disrespect!
While I believe the election was less than fair, it is over. Obama was my President, Trump was my President and Biden will be my President. I listened to the speeches by Trump and others before the march to the Capitol and believe he — and they — overstepped big time. I read the transcript of his call with the Georgia Senator and believe he overstepped big time there too.
TRUMP:
It’s my opinion that Trump should’ve let it go when his lawsuits failed in the courts. He should’ve congratulated the President-elect and said he gave it his best shot for the American people. He could’ve written a book and told us all things we weren’t privy to. And maybe, he could’ve ran again (or at least supported another candidate) in 4 years. At this second, (and I may change my mind), I think Pence should invoke the 25th. I can’t see how that could be worse than letting the Democrats move forward to do it.
DEMOCRATS:
Impeachment has been the Democrat’s goal… always. I’m sick of hearing it from the party and feel it breeds more division and more discord. Now that Nancy Pelosi won another term to lead the House of Representatives, we’re all stuck with her bitter face. Please keep her exposure to a minimum if what you truly desire is unity.
REPUBLICANS:
Continue to stand up for the issues you believe in and focus on a candidate that can beat Kamala in 2024. Work to improve the voting system and come back with a candidate that can be embraced. I’m one that will pray we make it through the next 4 years with as little debt and damage as possible.
Back to the regular ole’ doggy blog/generic thoughts tomorrow. 🙂
