Thank you, Charles, for putting my thoughts into words. It has been an unbelievable day.
I was going to do a post on writing today, but with what is happening in Washington, D.C., I have to speak about this insanity.
I will start by saying that I support peaceful protest of all kinds, because it is guaranteed in our Constitution, but I never support protest that is violent, including from those with whom I agree politically. Violent protest is never acceptable. Please do not reply by comparing today’s actions to other protests; as I stated, I disagree with all violent protests. Besides that would be like a child saying “Well, he did it, so I am too.” The logic is ridiculous.
What is happening today, though, is far worse than violent protest. By breaching the Capitol and disrupting the Constitutional work of the government, these people, who were incited by President Trump have committed many federal crimes and are committing insurrection. They are attempting to…

We can’t believe it either. I knew T. would be a terrible president but never imagined he could sink so low. What’s scary is that he’s like a cult leader and his followers will do anything he asks them to — as they did yesterday.

Hi Betty, thanks for reblogging and I tried to leave a comment on Charles’ blog, but it wouldn’t work. Anyway, I’m baffled as to how Capitol Hill was breached and why a violent event like yesterday’s wasn’t foreseen and more prepared for after all the violence our President has incited. That behavior is shameful and appalling and beyond, beyond disturbing. Sigh. Stay safe, my friend. xoxo

I’m baffled too, Lauren. It’s also odd how they seemed to know exactly where certain offices were….as though someone had a map. It’s beyond outrageous.
You stay safe also, my friend. ❤
