DL Open Thread Monday December 27 2021
I am still in vacation mode having enjoyed the first Christmas in four years without Trump as President. I should have turned over the open thread to El Som, but didn’t.
So I scanned the headline and it was the usual collection of Covid variant stories. (Not much news worthy there. Omincron is bad, but only really bad if you are still a anti-vax/pro-disease partisan.)
Desmond Tutu died. He seemed like a good man who helped his country out a lot when it needed a lot of help.
And yesterday was the one year anniversary the Trump tweet-storm that kicked off his plans to mount a coup on Jan 6th of 2020. Read all the smoking gun tweets and marvel at the fact that Trump is still walking around a free man.
I attribute political cowardice as the number one reason Trump is still “walking around”, I remember Nixon well and a different breed of Republican actually assisted in getting Nixon out of the White House. Compare that to the Jan.6th enablers we have now.
Although the circumstances are different, the political cowardice that causes Rethugs to cower in fear of Trump is the SAME political cowardice that prevents Delaware House D’s from overthrowing the Kop Kabal.
They’re afraid of retribution.
