Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)

It was not OK to attack our Capitol.

Those that did so should be held legally accountable.

There was no justification for attacking the most sacred place of our democracy.

No one should be above the law.

Everyone involved in the attack upon our Capitol should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Believing a lie does not make it true and does not excuse the damages from the lie.

It doesn’t matter about truth with a cult. The 40% of the country that believe in the big lie, will ignore all facts, pictures, testimony and facts. They just don’t care.

It is up to the people to decide if they have the will to keep a democratic form of government.

And it's BECAUSE of the American people we are in the place we are today. Blame whoever you want for this or that, but the fact is, all those being blamed, were elected, by the people. The people have the power to change government. 64 million $$ question, will they?
