Democracy at Work

They spoke their minds.  All day long, they spoke their minds.  

I tried to listen to "the other side" but it made my skiin crawl.  

Facts are facts, or so I thought.  Apparently, facts are not part of the process arguments being made by the Republicans.

And I keep coming back to the same thing, over and over and over again - if he has nothing to hide, why forbid his toadies' testimonies?  

And yet, no guns have been drawn.  The military is not filing our streets.  Our upcoming election is at risk and our current government is eating itself from within and the Senate Majority Leader has already declared that he is not impartial...... and yet, I have hope.

This is democracy at work.  With my fingers crossed, I have hope.

    2. Well, I agreed with what I had said but moved it to my own blog as a comment there as I figured the ones you have who come here all pretty much agree and deserve a place for that. Bubbles have some comfort and we can all use comfort in today's world.

    3. I'll mosey over and read it there. We like our little bubble here in The Burrow but always appreciate another perspective.

  2. I guess we have to have hope. We certainly can't seem to change anyone's mind with facts.

  3. It's hard to have hope. The continued purging of voter polls, the closing of polling places and rampant gerrymandering are going to make it difficult to have fair elections. I'm glad he's impeached, it's the first time he's been called on something wrong that he did.

    1. Right. Soemone finally said NO in a loud voice. Wherever it goes from here, this doesn't go away.
