The following is my opinion and only my opinion. I think I still have the right to state my opinion. Maybe not.
How many years ago was it that Jim Jones and his 909 followers drank the Koolaid in Jonestown, Guyana? I was still living on McClelland so it must have been in about 1978. I recall that when I told my kids about it they thought I had made it all up, just to scare them. I was trying to instill in them the need to think for themselves and not just be followers. As I watched the Senate vote against the impeachment of the Donald Trump, I could not help but remember Jonestown. The Senate drank the Koolaid. I refuse to do that. Donald Trump is the very epitome of evil. He is a bully. He is a selfish narcissist. He set about destroying anything Obama did, simply because he is a racist.
My mother was a Republican. I think my whole family was. Kansas is Republican country and I think when I registered it was as a Republican. After coming to Colorado, I registered Independent. I am now Democrat. I loved Obama, but I also loved the older George Bush. I did not vote for Bill Clinton. but I did vote for Hillary because I felt evil coming from Trump. I was right.
I do not know how any person in their right mind can condone what is going on at our borders with the children taken away for their parents. Our school system is in shambles. Medical costs and insurance continue to skyrocket. I could go on with all the crap that this administration has caused, but I will just cut to the heart of the matter.
Trump has his whole family working in government. That is nepotism. He uses Marlargo to pad his coffers while still not showing a tax return. You try that! While I set here in my house trying to keep warm and still pay the gas bill, he revels in his warmth and is surrounded by body guards that are paid with my money to keep him safe.
Life is not fair. There are the haves and the have nots and we are the have nots. I see the smirking face of Mitch McConnell and it makes me sick. He said before the impeachment vote that the Republican Senators would NOT convict no matter what the evidence said. Doesn't that tell you something? I am proud of Nancy Pelosi for trying and I am proud of Mitt Romney for voting yes. I am disappointed that the rest of the Republicans caved to a thug who calls himself our leader. If this is the mark of a leader we are all in trouble.
So, rest assured, I will still do all I can to survive. It is sad that he does not have to pay taxes and I set here with my social security in jeopardy. These are my golden years. These are the years I should be taking a cruise. Instead I plan my grocery list with prudence and eat the cheaper foods because that is what I can afford.
In closing, I want to say if you are offended by this blog, hit the block button, or if on facebook, unfriend me. I will not argue with you about right and wrong on this matter. Keep it to yourself. I do not need Trump followers telling me how good I have it. Screw you!

I agree with you, Lou, on all of your points. I hope all of us who feel the same way will work to try to get our country reunited.
