"Hymn to the Fallen" by John Williams

In refusing to convict Donald Trump for his crimes against democracy, the Republican Party has announced that Republican presidents are above the law and can act with impunity, as kings or dictators do — and that this is now true for Republican officials on the federal, local and state level as well.
Recent public opinion polling and other research shows that Trump Republicans believe that political violence is a reasonable tool for them to advance their goals.
The exact share of the GOP coalition responsive to extremist White nationalist beliefs or the use of violence to advance political goals is impossible to measure precisely. But polling and other research suggests that the best way to think about it may be through concentric circles radiating out from hard-core believers willing to commit violence themselves to a much broader range of GOP voters who might not become violent personally but express sympathy or understanding for those who do.
The inner circle are the extremists actively participating in potentially violent White nationalist extremism.
But polling has found a larger group of Republicans expressing sympathy for the attack on the Capitol -- and a much larger group than that expressing sympathy more generally for the belief that the threats to American society as they define it have grown so great that force or violence is justified to respond to them.
Contrary to what many of the hope-peddlers and professional centrists in the news media and elsewhere would like to believe, Trumpism and other forms of American fascism were not exiled by Joe Biden's election victory.
The Age of Trump will also linger on through what counterterrorism experts warn may be years if not decades of violent right-wing insurgency and terror directed against liberals and progressives, nonwhite people, Muslims, Jews and other groups targeted as the enemy Other.
Republican consultant Michael Madrid said, "They have fed the monster for so long that even when it turns on them, when the barbarians are literally at the gate ... when they were the targets and they were prey, they still will not turn on it. That's how dangerous is the societal threat that we are facing."
The right-wing evangelicals are among the most loyal and fanatical members of the American right and the Trump movement. As a group, these Christian fascists are committed to overturning secular democracy and making real their "end times" eschatological and apocalyptic fantasies.
The Republican Party and the broader right have embraced gangster capitalism where the poor and other marginalized groups are surplus people who should be left to die if they cannot be "self-sufficient" and "productive." The American people have had four years of real-world experience and education from the cruel tutelage provided by Donald Trump and his movement.
"A republic, madam, if you can keep it." More than 200 years later, the American people are being tested again. Will they be up to the task?

My reasons for not seeing the dirt is not important. Maxine Waters is my hero. Where is the demand to prosecute those in charge including the Trumpster for kidnapping kids from their parents who illegally entered the US?


Representative Herrera Beutler said House Minority Leader Kevin: McCarthy had told her that when he reached Trump by phone as the Capitol was breached and McCarthy "asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot." Trump rebuffed his request by saying, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.’”

She was one of the ten GOP members of the US House who voted to impeach the former president for his role in the Jan. 6 riot,


Judge says Justice Department cannot defend Trump in E. Jean Carroll rape defamation suit Oct 27, 2020:

Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has told friends that President Donald Trump "is the most flawed person" he's ever known. Trump can't stand to hear the Truth! He lies, steals & cheats! He has 2000+ court cases awaiting him as a defendant! His dishonesty is the transactional nature of every relationship.

Resolution to prosecute Donald Trump for an accessory to a pandemic - 2nd degree murder or voluntary manslaughter.

WHEREAS Trump was briefed at least by January 30, 2020 that Covid-19 was super contagious as is smallpox and plague,

WHEREAS on Jan. 30, 2020 Trump said “We think we have it very well under control and;
Feb. 24: “The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.”
March 10: “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
March 15: “It's something that we have tremendous control over.”
March 25: “Many states don’t have a problem.”
Apirl 4: “People need to go to baseball games, get America working again,”

WHEREAS all of the evidence we had in February 2020 indicates that travel restrictions and quarantines were unlikely to keep the virus out of our borders because this virus was spreading too quickly and too silently, and our surveillance was too limited for us to truly know which countries have active transmission,

WHEREAS Trump told Americans 22 times the Corona virus would go away,

WHEREAS in late September 2020, Trump claimed that the virus would "go away without the vaccine" because people would develop "herd mentality” (he meant herd immunity),

WHEREAS in August 2020 Trump appointed Dr. Scott Atlas to the coronavirus task force, whereupon Scott, who had no infectious disease training said, “Concern about the pandemic is overblown, the death rate is exaggerated, COVID-19 testing is overrated, K-12 school closures and economic lockdowns do more harm than good,” and called upon the citizens of Michigan to “rise up” in opposition to COVID-19 control measures,

WHEREAS Trump in February 2020 accused Democrats of “politicizing” the corona virus during a campaign rally claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax,” accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode”, and downplaying the severity by comparing the number of fatalities during an average flu season,

WHEREAS what Trump claimed the formerly responsible news agencies to “fake news,”

WHEREAS Trump’s packed rallies may have led to 700 COVID-19 related deaths and 30,000 additional coronavirus cases,

WHEREAS on Jan. 2021 the total US deaths was 393,928 from Covid-19, and 13,975,036 have gotten sick from it,

WHEREAS on Feb. 2021 the total US deaths was +1,342 more than January and 27,686,809 have gotten sick from it,

WHEREAS on about January 4, 2021 via Twitter, Trump called the national coronavirus death toll tallied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “fake news,”

WHEREAS at the time of ratification of the US Constitution, the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors thus appears understood to have applied to uniquely political offenses, or misdeeds committed by public officials against the state, "and the misconduct of public men (woman) from the abuse or violation of some public trust," (Source: Federalist Papers: No 65, wrote former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton),

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand Trump be prosecuted for and/or held liable for acts of gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life amounting to being an accessory to a pandemic - 2nd degree murder or voluntary manslaughter.

Prosecution of George W. Bush et. al. for War Crimes
WHEREAS there is overwhelming evidence that President George W. Bush and et. al. (his direct subordinates) committed war crimes,

WHEREAS international law requires the United States government to prosecute all war crimes committed by US persons; for example, torture, ghost prisoners, secret jails, used depleted uranium weapons that poisoned the battlefield and civilians for many years following the warfare, and making war on Iraq without a UN resolution,

WHEREAS President Bush et al, ordered the kidnapping of an estimated 150 people from foreign nations (aka “extraordinary rendition”) and delivering them for interrogation by nations having a well documented history of torture,

WHEREAS, Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, “Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure out what we're going to do.” But without permission/vote of the UN Security Council, the US invaded Iraq and in so doing the US did unprovoked or "aggressive" war, the highest crime against mankind,

WHEREAS President Bush and seven of his administration's top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq,

WHEREAS If George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others are not prosecuted US government leaders in the future will not fear any personal consequences for going to war without a declaration by Congress,

WHEREAS the claim that the President, as commander-in-chief, can exercise the unlimited powers of a king or dictator strikes at the very heart of our democracy and the rule of law requires a rejection of impunity for the criminal acts of government officials,

WHEREAS 6,900 and approximately 7,800 contractors were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan at the end of 2018, 52,010 wounded in action, and this number does not included are those “non-hostile injuries” and other medical problems such as heat stroke, suicide attempts, respiratory problems, and vehicle crashes,

WHEREAS 970,000 disability claims registered with the VA,

WHEREAS these wars have been paid for almost entirely by borrowing, therefore including the predicted interest payments, the total cost will be over $6 trillion by the 2050s,

WHEREAS more than 480,000 people have been killed by direct war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and over 8.4 million Afghans, Pakistanis, and Iraqis are living as war refugees in other countries or are displaced from their homes,

WHEREAS every segment of the US electorate–including majorities of Democrats (82 percent), independents (62 percent), and Republicans (51 percent) — want to hold the Bush administration accountable for its role in the destruction of the CIA’s interrogation tapes and the use of torture by the agency,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand the US Justice Department prosecute of George W. Bush et. al. for war crimes,
