Merciless Republican Traitors Beg for Mercy While Many Still At-Large
Don't give it to them: the moment demands justice For many Americans, it's just now starting to seriously sink in that on January 6th Donald Trump's allies killed five people in an attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States and replace it with an strongman oligarchic dictatorship. Their violence was so severe that additional dozens were hospitalized and the Vice President, members of Congress and their staffers spent hours hiding in terror. One policeman was murdered, a second committed suicide, and dozens of others were viciously beaten. The traitors brought into our Capitol building the battle flag of the insurrection of 1861, smeared feces on carpets and walls, stole classified documents, and trashed government offices. They rampaged from office to office, smashed windows and doors, all the while chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and "Where's Nancy?" as a sturdy gallows awaited just outside the building.

Hour One: The merciless Republican traitors are begging for mercy while many are still at large. Don't give it to them...the moment demands justice
If America doesn't implement the "Buy American" vision now, the 21st century will be the Chinese Century. Technological independence and repudiating "free trade" are key.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Quote: " I hold myself, so long as I have the breath of life in my body, amenable to impeachment by this House for everything I did during the time I held any public office." - John Quincy Adams.
Quote: " History Does Not Repeat Itself, But It Rhymes" - attributed to Mark Twain.
Hour Two: Framing is the key to waking up Americans to the real forces behind GOP policies. If Dems don't figure this out soon, 2022 is a loss.
Tweet: " DeJoy. can and should be fired. NOW Biden's folks can litigate later. IF you need to fire the whole board then do that. Incompetence is not protected by civil service laws. The Post office is in crisis and its survival is in doubt because of the deterioration of service." by Howard Dean.
Hour Three: Just 10 billionaires made enough pandemic dough to vaccinate the whole world -And still have more money they had than when the pandemic began. Don't we need a wealth tax?- Nick Hanauer, Entrepreneur / Co-Founder & Partner-Second Avenue Partners
