    The upside-down flag is a nice touch.

    I wish you would have drawn one his toadies instead of a poor dog. I hear the insurrectionists literally took a dump on the Capitol and urinated in offices throughout the building. Plus, Toddler tanTrump won’t go near animals. He would never hold a dog’s leash, but he wouldn’t have any qualms about leashing a person.

    1861 April 12 and 2021 January 6

    What do these 2 dates have in common? Both saw armed attacks on a US national facility by insurrectionists conspiring to overthrow the American government because they didn’t like the man who’d just been duly elected president.

    Steve, I understand how you feel—and I totally agree. But PLEASE don’t insult the Canis domestics, OK? It’s the fur babies that stand between the human race and total insanity. Might be why so many are in TV commercials—even those that don’t advertise pet products.

    To a friend who is an Air Force veteran:

    Please, allow me to express my sympathies. Never would I have expected a member of the Air Force to abandon her vow to the Constitution and choose treasonous insurgence over the honor that has historically been the pride of the Air Force. I am sure it is especially painful for you, very possibly more so than it is for just anyone who considers honor and respect for the Constitution that makes our form of government, a democratic republic, possible. I am ashamed that this seditious action happened in our nation, and I send sympathy to you for the dishonor she created for the Air Force. The constructive and lawful actions of others in the military will hopefully soon show our nation and the world that such destructive and treasonous individuals are an aberration. So, please, hold your head high and know that while you openly support our Constitution people will realize that although a small violent minority can do great damage, they are not representative.

    Sometimes all that it takes for a good nation to fall to dictatorship is not complicit agreement but complacent silence. It does not matter if that silence is from fear caused by intimidation because once authoritarians win then the fear will truly be far greater.

    “The silence of good people is more dangerous than the brutality of bad people.” Martin Luther King

    Stay vigilant, people, and express your disapproval of those actions, especially to those who are uncertain.

    The Nazis got into power eight years after their original failed coup by using and then turning on the German conservatives and bringing down the German legislature.

    There were excellent reasons why the U.S. was pretty much all anti-fa (anti-fascist) in the 1930s and 1940s while we fought the fascist monarchists of the Axis Powers.

    So, the horned Qanoner who is well known from Trump rallies hid his identity behind STACKED ALIASES. Q Shaman who identified himself as an Arizonan named Jake Angelini in news interviews in the past is actually Jacob Anthony Chansley of Arizona. He has just been arrested. They need to be charged with things like insurgency, coup, cop killing or accessory to cop killing for those who promoted the attack on the Capitol and assisted the attack on the Capitol, destruction of public buildings and public property, even espionage since they moved private information into seditionist organizations.

    Too late. He’s already polluted the gene pool.

    Published in the local paper today, well worth sharing:

    ’Twas the day after the election, and all thru the lands

    A creature was stirring — he had tiny hands.

    The election was stolen, he loudly lamented.

    Most people think that he’s slightly demented.

    He called for his lap dogs, his toadies and thugs,

    They’re really quite nasty, he gives them all hugs.

    “Now Johnson, now Hawley, now Rudy and Cruz.

    “On Pence, on Junior, we’ve nothing to lose.

    “Scream it and shout it from the top of the roof,

    “Don’t let them know that we don’t have the proof.”

    They lied and they sued, and they sued and they lied,

    They came up with stories that no one has tried.

    Republican judges said “no” to his case,

    “You haven’t the proof, and it’s just a disgrace.”

    He called up officials to give him more votes.

    They told him he’s wrong and referred to their notes.

    His giant brain came up with an idea so vile,

    It made him feel better than he had for a while.

    He gathered a mob filled with Nazis and such,

    It seems quite bizarre, but he is out of touch.

    He met them and praised them and told them to fight.

    He is really unable to tell wrong from right.

    His family partied while they watched the attack,

    As usual he and his cronies stayed safely in back.

    Democracy bruised, it continued its work —

    They counted the ballots and kicked out the jerk.

    His allies were bailing, his future quite hazy,

    Except for some toadies who were just as crazy.

    We yelled from the Capitol as he drove out of town,

    “We don’t want you back, you devious clown.”

    —Mike Anderson, of Oregon, Wisconsin, letter to the editor, Wisconsin State Journal, 2021 Jan. 12
