Gate this, gate that e.g. Watergate, Pizzagate…now Capitol Gate.
They like to break in to the Democratic National Headquarter. Not once, but twice.
Each time, the perpetrator gets impeached.
Nixon smells better in light of what has just happened (his “Plumbers” prosecuted and jailed, but at least no one died near Crystal City).
Leaders stand and fall on good/bad counsel. (Many great counsels are dead authors but their ideas are alive and applicable. Just read e.g. the Plumbers broke in Ellberg’s psychiatrist’s office to obtain his private file….then got caught at the Watergate hotel…today’s equivalent of hacking and ransacking your opponent’s and 3rd-ranking in line desk and while at it, took the laptop.
Information want to be free??? That which is hidden will someday be shown from the roof top???
Just think. You cast your vote. Your rep goes to Washington to certify the Electoral Votes. Then all hell broke loosed. Do you think your right to vote is not violated? Do you think you yourself are not trampled upon by extension of your hunkered -down reps, your expression as a citizen and existence as a person?
Democracy was raped last week.
It was a short win for the “unthink” , the un-called-for, the fringes who stole the mantel, the barbarics at the gate.
I am glad people are pursued and put on trial.
Like the Plumbers. The President. After all, the Press themselves were put on trial and beheaded to obtain the truth for us. Why not this time, the table turned.
We cannot let decency and democracy be torn apart in one charge up the Hill.
Democracy cannot be in exile and run for its life. If any, it’s “Ape” men that should be.
Long ago, they gassed millions. The treacherous act must have emboldened Hitler with a sense of invincibility. Mao, Mussolini, Pol Pot and Kim Jong-un, all think they are on top of the wave forever.
Information want to be free. People want to be free. Freedom itself want to be free. History shows that. That it’s not the tank, but the resistance against the tanks…until they need petrol.
I still love that Chinese “tank man”. He was holding two shopping bags…stopping the line of advancing tanks. We have his contemporary counterpart in the Capitol, a lone guard. His name is Goodman. And he is black.
The Black guard matters. The “Plumbers” don’t. We know that much. And that’s the way the human race is. Gate this, gate that. Nixon, this time, comes out smelling much better. Like Musk topping Bezos, Nixon Trump, both X-Gate Presidents. In admitting defeat, Trump finally won ….as the most impeached President whose “supporters” overshadowed the Plumbers. They tried to free not just the files, but the whole file cabinet.
