Comey



May 11th 2017


"Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest " Henry II cries out in anger and vexation, and four of his loyal knights ride off and murder Thomas A Beckett on the steps of Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170. Jumping forward 847 years President Trump expresses the same sentiment towards his FBI Director, and his loyal courtesans dream up the scheme to remove this troublesome fellow who is shedding light on the nefarious dealings of the Trump house with our Russian adversaries. 

So it has been with Kings and Dictators throughout the ages until our founding fathers came up with a brilliant idea to build a republic with laws that would protect us against such hegemony. They devised a three tiered structure that would provide checks and balances against the temptation to fall under the rule of any single ideologue or party. It worked for most of our history but now it's under attack as weak kneed politicians refuse to stand up for our country, and follow only the needs of their own partisan survival.

Will the republicans now try to rescue our country from the avaricious and vengeful group that has taken over the reins of power, or will they bow to the pressure of the party line? It's sad to see what once was an honorable and reasonable party fall victim to extremists who care only for themselves and have little wish for the continued prosperity and success of our republic.
