Well, Donald Trump went more or less quietly. Perhaps it was the thousands of troops in the city ready to shoot him on sight, or maybe it was that he never intended to mount a coup and stay in office. Who knows?

But we know that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are looking out for us because they have impeached him again with no evidence and no chance to throw him out of office. Missed it by THAT much, as Maxwell Smart used to say. So why are they doing it? They say that it is to make sure that he can't run again. My question is, are they that afraid of him? Didn't they win by 5 or so million votes and in every swing state? They won fair and square by LOTS of votes, right?

Actually it matters not. Joe won and took the oath. For better or worse he is the president. The impeachment and trial is a show of force, not justice. There is evidence now that the illegal riot and overrunning of the capital building by criminals was planned in advance and that Trump knew nothing about the planned illegal activities.

So who is the show of force for? Surely not for the millions who voted for Joe. It must be for the millions who voted for Trump, the mind-numbed robots who cannot accept Joe's presidency because they are brainwashed. Hence the suggestion made by many Democrats (most recently by Katy Couric) that Trump voters need to be repro-grammed.

I know a man in Vietnam, his name is Phong, who was a South Vietnamese scout for the US Army. When Saigon fell he was arrested and sent to a re-education camp. When they finally let him out they blacklisted him. He has not had a decent job in almost fifty years as part of his punishment. The 35th Infantry Regiment Association sends him a stipend every year to help keep him and his family afloat.

Will the Democrats really send we Trump voters to a gulag in the California desert? Not likely. After all, where could you put 75 million people? So how do you re-educate them in place? You intimidate them. You keep them from working. You fire them, call in their mortgages, beat them up in the streets, ban them on Facebook and Twitter, kick them off of the internet like Amazon and Apple did to Parler (which I hear has re-appeared on another host service).

So, you shame the Trump voters into staying quiet. If that doesn't work then you attack them as traitors. No! Will never be done! Ha! They have done it. Senate and House members who dared to contest the Electoral College votes were branded as traitors, unpatriotic members who should be removed from office. If you don't know about it maybe you need to change news sources.

Bottom line, when Joe Biden says we need to come together, what does he mean? Well, he means come support him or else. Agree with his policies or else. Because if you don't you are not an American, and certainly not patriotic.

Come follow me as I open the borders; as I mandate that transgender men-to-women must be allowed to compete with biological women in sports; as I shut down the Keystone pipeline project and hurt my own favorites, the union workers. Smile with me as I raise your gas taxes and prices both at once, kill our energy independence. In short, join me as I make the whole country one big California. Bend over, grab your ankles, and smile. Then you will be cured and we will accept you back into the family.

Thanks Joe, but I think that I will pass on that offer. I may be deranged, but I'm not out of my mind. We'll talk again in 2022.
