I can’t believe how hard it is to write this, and yet I feel compelled to put something into the blog at this point in my life and history. A mile-marker on the way down the road to hell.

The biggest issue is that the Corrupter in Chief offered a bride. A mob boss type of bribe. “You give me dirt on my political opponents and I’ll give you hundreds of millions of ‘aid’ in return.” It didn’t matter that the money had already been earmarked for aid to Ukraine. The Corrupter in Chief nevertheless held it back in an effort to extort what he wanted out of the President of Ukraine.

The bribery is bad enough. It’s the full complicity of the entire Rupublican party (his spelling) that adds to the full stench of corruption coming out of both the rotting corpse of a party as well as the Corruptor himself.

Something fundamental needs to be done to counter this in 2020. And I don’t mean just show up and vote.
