I’ve Got Questions

A lot of folks are out here asking questions — I have a few myself. Folk are on some mass inquiry about why the Vice President of the United States isn’t “answering questions?” Duh, she does have another job, as @VP.

The political UPSIDE DOWN world is real. If a convicted felon, who has a been able to use his appointed judge to delay his trial — for allegedly stealing top secret, federal documents — is eligible to access to MORE top secret documents, what is the purpose of rule of law? I have questions that the QUESTIONERS SHOULD be asking:

1). WHY is a convicted felon allowed to travel across state lines at-will?

2). WHY hasn’t the felon been sentenced OR given a parole officer?

3). WHY is a pathological liar continually invited on “news” shows and allowed to lie, without fact-checking?

4). WHY are some people, who are routinely insulted by the convict and his party (People of ALL colors/identities, including white; Women; Gay; of immigrant families; people of every faith; etc.), serving as a lap-dog/punching bag/floor mat for the proud racists, misogynists, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted, hypocritical folk?

5). WHY didn’t convict45 testify — UNDER OATH — in his trials or respond to his accusers under oath for myriad other accusations (crimes; sex assault; etc.), when he PROMISED he would?

6). WHY does 45 & GOP lie so much?

7). WHY is GOP suppressing Poor, Black, Hispanic, Native, Elderly, Disabled & Student votes?

😎. (because that automatically appears when you type “8 ) .” without spaces) WHY is the GOP legal machine attacking Fearless Fund and other targeted support for Black people, but not attacking targeted support for Asian, Jewish, Women, etc.? If one population cannot be supported, in response to historical inequities, other groups are threatened, too.

9). WHY is the deliberately tilted & partisan SCOTUS — the institution that is supposed to be equally just — majorly unjust (and compromised/bought) and becoming a threat to civil, voting & legal rights for all without sustained pressure for accountability?

10). WHY is a 34x convict felon allowed to delay his sentencing because it’s not convenient to him?

11). WHY do the rich and convicted have greater rights than the rest of us- convicted or not?

12). Why are the proven lies of the 2020 election still being treated as valid?

13). Why isn’t the racist Republican agenda Great Replacement Theory

Hitler-esque rhetoric from senators

Law of the Land” from a former governor of Arkansas, one of the poorest states (whose daughter now leads the state) whenever they are given air time — beyond their safe spaces of NewsMax & FoxNews?

14). Why does “the church” condemn parishioners for their “imperfections”, but embrace similar — and worse — acts committed by preachers and pundits and politicians and presidents they like.

15). Why are insurrectionists considered valid candidates to run for office in the nation they attempted to overthrow? They cost their employer millions, and now want to control that budget.

16). Why are we still letting convict45 & MAGA continue to lie about the 2020 election?

And, last (for now),

16). WHY do some, seemingly lucid, people forget the second half of the convict’s term in office (with his Republican Reich) didn’t include a global pandemic — that he, first, lied about — where:

1,000,000+ Americans died (including many Republicans);

Many more suffered & are still suffering;

He/they sabotaged our economy for years;

He/they have Project2025 exposed, although they have been test-driving these horrible policies in REPUBLICAN-LED states for years. (starving kids; curb labor laws; criminalize fact-based education; and much more);

He/they have yet to come up with better healthcare plans or strategies to mitigate another health catastrophe;

Bad strategies & disinformation (federal; state: local) cost jobs, businesses, families, stability? Is that the Covid “brain fog” doctors speak about?

If YOU have questions, feel free to add to the list and let’s see if we can get some answers. make sure you vote wisely — that includes asking questions. Whether you vote or not — somebody WILL be president. Choose your news wisely — they should be trustworthy.

Not going back — I choose to vote for our future and move forward.
