The 2020 election was a small but important victory for democracy everywhere, not just in the United States.
That said, on January 6, 2021, then President Donald Trump decided, for some reason, that he had to hold a "Save The Nation" or "Save Democracy" or whatever bullshit term he used, rally, rather than actually govern in the White House.
It was held in the Ellipse, an area adjacent to the White House. Again, just because.
His followers gathered and were egged-on, ginned-up by Rudy Giuliani, Don Jr., Eric, Mo Brooks, John Eastman and others. Yes, many others from the Klown Kar.
Among the things he told the mob/crowd/followers to do was, "March down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol", and "fight like hell, because if you don't fight like hell, you won't have a country any more." Ironic.
They followed his commands, his marching orders and what ensued was an almost 3 1/2 hour insurrection on the United States Capitol and Congress.
He didn't want to leave office, even though he knew he'd lost a legitimate election fair and square. So, he sent his minions, lemmings off to do his dirty work for him while he sat on his lazy, fat ass watching the bloody mess unfold before on one of the TV screens in a dining room next to the Oval Office.
After that, multiple inquiries in Congress, through the Justice Department, and in New York and Georgia.
Oh, and did I mention we were still in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic? Covid-19 it was called. Coronavirus, due to the "crown" shape of it.
To his credit, one of the very few things he got right, he did expedite vaccine mandates, and those were pushed through at lightning speed, 11 months. By that time, however, he was officially out of office and Joseph R. Biden & Kamala Harris were elected, duly, into the offices of President and Vice President. THAT was historic!
After the vaccines rolled out, two were initially suggested, along with wearing face masks and "social distancing", 6 feet apart. After that, there was a period of calm.
A much need respite.
For me, I took a break from blogging here, because I was fucking exhausted from Trump, his minions, allies and others with their daily, non-stop drama. Could NOT take it another day.

No idea, not a clue, what the next four years hold as somehow, in what I can only consider an electric shock to the American people, memory loss or lobotomy, I don't know which, but somehow, Trump and his new crew of suck-ups, loyalists, and whatever you want to call them.... they're back.
Why? Don't know and please don't ask.
I'll be back soon with other more interesting stuff very soon.
Meantime, chin up.
