    The Redaction Reaction. For us, sure, not for the Congress who have the right and the clearance to see it all naked.

    Ɲow, if I help you, it matters that you see

    These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me

    It’s taken me some time to work out what to do

    Ι weighed the whole thing out before I came to you

    I have not thought at all about my own reward

    I really didn’t come here of my own accord

    Just don’t say I’m

    Damned for all time

    I came because I had to, I’m the one who saw

    America can’t control it like they did before

    And furthermore I know the Red Hats think so too

    Red Hats won’t mind that I was here with you

    I have not thought at all about my own reward

    I really didn’t come here of my own accord

    Just don’t say I’m

    Damned for all time

    ӍcConnell, you’re a friend, a worldly man and wise

    Ƥence, my friend, I know you sympathize

    Why are we the traitors? Why are we the ones

    Who see the sad solution, know what must be done?

    I have not thought at all about my own reward

    I really didn’t come here of my own accord

    Just don’t say I’m

    Damned for all time

    (ӍcConnell)

    Ͼut the protesting, forget the excuses

    We want cooperation, get up off the floor

    (Ƥence)

    You have the redactions we need to re-elect him

    We know his guilt; you know the law

    (ӍcConnell)

    Your help in this matter won’t go unrewarded

    (Ƥence)

    We’ll pay you in silver, cash on the nail

    We just need to know that justice can’t find him

    With no evidence around him, then we can’t fail

    We would like to feel that we can trust Mueller and Barr but we remember that Republicans have a higher priority for loyalty to authority — (e.g) the executive office — than to skepticism about the actions in that branch. Since money became “speech” the political class (caste?) has become less like us and more like the 1% with loyalty to their own and a feeling of entitlement that we do not share. Ideally, we would like our representative to fear us if they don’t do their jobs to our satisfaction. This is not happening and incumbents have the edge in most cases despite a lackluster performance. Mueller and Barr have been friends for 30 years and their wives have gone to bible study together. We the people are not as wealthy or religious or loyal as they are and definitely, as a society, not as socially conservative as they are. I’m sure that they are doing what they feel is moral/ethical but they are not us … nor do they share our skepticism about the executive branch. Maybe we need people more like us in government and more of our opinions reflected in appointed positions?

    Real leaders don’t look down on those they are supposed to lead with contempt and distain. They do not lie to them, cheat them, and work with their enemies. Real leaders push and pull those they lead upwards into a place where they can be free, can live a life of satisfaction with lives led with dignity and grace more than wealth and portfolios. Real leaders sacrifice for those they lead, not with the loss of their moral fiber but with work and energy to make the lives of those they lead whole, content, educated, and dedicated to making as many others as they can free to live, to think, and to know when they are treated badly that there is something that can and should be done about it. We have very, very few leaders. Liars, cheats, and charlatans but not many leaders.

    Honesty – redacted. Transparency – redacted. Rule of Law – redacted. Decency – redacted. Happy Easter.

    Happy Easter, everyone. Remember please, it’s a holiday of rebirth. The return of Spring. The ebbing of Darkness and the return of Light. Perhaps our dark political times are at an ebb? We can, but, hope.

    Military, law enforcement, resource management/protection, disabled access programs, only 50+ years spent protecting Americans and America in my career, “employed” and volunteer. Trump and company out to destroy everything I, and my friends/workmates, did FOR this nation, and the planet.

    Redact ‘em all!
