Very accurate story about Donald J. Trump here from CNN with this headline:
“Donald Trump: The Day
America Realized How The President Is”
When the history of
the 45th presidency is written, Wednesday, January 6, 2021, will go down as the
day America finally realized how dangerous Donald J. Trump really is.
Introduction and Highlights from this Story:
In the span of hours, the country finally witnessed the
price of its five-year experiment turning its election process into a reality
show that produced an unhinged megalomaniac as Commander-in-Chief who amassed
so much power through his lies and fear-mongering that he was able to engineer
an insurrection as a final act that left democracy dangling by a thread.
The siege at the Capitol (Wednesday, January 6) marked the
culmination of Trump's years-long quest to cultivate a fiercely loyal base that
would do anything for him by playing on their fears and resentments as he lured
them into believing his incessant lies about the sinister motives of
government, election fraud and his own conduct.
The consequences were deadly: Five people died as a
result of the rioting, including a Capitol Police officer.
Some of Trump's supporters were armed and ready for war,
according to Federal prosecutors – examples:
1. An Alabama man allegedly parked a pickup truck with 11
homemade bombs, an assault rifle and a handgun two blocks from the Capitol
hours before authorities discovered it.
2. Another man allegedly showed up with an assault rifle and
hundreds of rounds of ammunition, telling acquaintances he wanted to shoot or
run over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
3. Pipe bombs (FBI is offering $50k for info) were
found near the headquarters of both the RNC and DNC headquarters as authorities
tried to dispel the mobs and secure the Capitol.
But three days later, Trump appears no more aware of the consequences of his actions than on the day of the riot when he delighted in the mayhem.
Bunkered at the White House with an ever-shrinking circle of aides,
he has offered no remorse for inciting the crowd and offered only a forced
denunciation of their actions. Aides, weary and disgusted, refuse to come near
him.
His central line to the outside world, Twitter, was severed
Friday night (January 8).
People who admired him, worked for him, and followed him down
dark paths before now say he has crossed into a delusional place, entirely
detached from reality.
Full story continues at the CNN link – worth reading.
My 2 cents: This analysis lays out what millions of us have known
since day one and Trump’s own personal record, words, actions, and such finally
all have come together in a stark horrible way on that fateful day.
PART UPDATED Sinking ship and rats jumping.

The fear that some have
raised is simple: What can he do between now and January 20 at noon when Joe
Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn into office. Stay tuned, alert, and safe as
much as possible.
Thanks for stopping by.
