Biden's Plan

 Over the 1ast 48 hours President Biden has laid out his plan for Corvid relief and financial stability. The liberal blogs are still busy trying to decide what to do about Trump. They are not ready to move on to getting Biden's plans passed. 

Biden has not, yet mentioned killing the filibuster, but I think it should be part of his plan. There is a lot of bad and good that might come from killing the filibuster, but Republicans have been obstructing for decades. It's time to simply override their obstructing and pass legislation that will move the country forward.

Most legislation still needs a 2/3rds vote to pass. Some matters can pass with a simple majority; and don't expect any Republicans to cross over to help pass Democratic legislation. Republicans have already said they won't vote for a $1400 checks, to stop evictions, or for a $15.00 minimum wage, etc.,etc..... The grim reaper of Republicanism is alive and well even though Trump is gone. 

So lets get behind Biden and his plans. Let Trump go to the ash pile of history. Plenty of States are charging Trump and if we are lucky he will end up in jail, which is more than the Congress can do to him.

So Trump Is Gone - Or Is He?

 Reading the liberal blogs you would never know Trump is no longer president. They will carry their hate for a long time, probably forever. So what's next for Trump by the liberals? Impeachment!

McConnell said today, he will delay the trial for Trump. Delaying even longer the start of Biden's policies. Mitch playing his political games again, to his benefit. It takes 2/3'rds of the Senate to convict, so the Democrats new tie majority will not get Trump convicted.  

Don't think the Republicans will just do the right thing. They never have, and they don't care what Americans think about their position. Why should they? If the past is any gauge, Republicans know the American people will not hold them responsible, in fact, Americans will forget what they did by the time the next election comes around. 

Meantime, this revenge by the liberals is holding back progress for the country., not just because of impeachment, but for all the other charges the  Democrats want to file against Trump.

Group Think

 Group Think is a very dangerous communication tactic. There is way to much group think in our society today. It fosters misinformation and can lead to riots, violence, and murder. Mob mentality is a form of group think. 

Whatever happened to the independent thinking American? Can you think for yourself, or do you need someone else's opinion to tell you what to think? Do you get your thinking from MSNBC, FOX, or some other broadcast to lead you to your opinions and decisions? Do you just agree with friends and family without thinking about how you see an issue? Are you afraid to speak differently around those who all agree on an issue?

 Free speech is more than a right it is an obligation to yourself to be honest with yourself and others without fear of being rejected. It does take courage to voice your opinion when you know everyone else disagrees with you. 

Just a small example: During the last midterm elections there was a fever among the liberals (which I usually align myself with) of voting a straight Democratic ticket; no exceptions allowed. I announced that I would not be voting for the Democrat running in my district because he had 23 criminal convictions on his record. The backlash from these liberals was fierce and fast. I was called names. I was banned from blogs. I was called sick and mentally ill. This negative Group Think reaction was predictable. No one had the courage to say in front of their liberal group that it seemed like a rational decision on my part, for fear they might be the next target of their attacks. 

Group Think is a big part of our current political partisanship which has led to violence. It's amazing how fast mob mentality can take over and scary what a mob is capable of doing. 

So start thinking for yourself. Forget the blogs you read. Forget what the idiot in the boob tube is preaching at you. Think about it. What might you be willing to do just to go along with the crowd?

 Here's a song that will remind you:

 

                                                                     Let Me Be

The Balance - Moody Blues

And he thought of those he angered
For he was not a violent man
And he thought of those he hurt
For he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened
For he was not an evil man
And he understood, he understood himself
Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear
It was because he was not understanding
And he learned compassion
And with his eye of compassion
He saw his enemies like unto himself
And he learned love
Then he was answered

The Democrats New Year

Reading the liberal blogs tells me now that Trump is gone everything will be just fine. 

Good luck with that fantasy.
