I have declared my preference for civil political discourse over much of what we’re getting today.<\/p>\n

My intention is to turn down the volume a tad on High Plains Blogger. I have been challenged to follow the Golden Rule more than I have at times. I apologize for the times I have failed to adhere to the teachings offered in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.<\/p>\n

I know that Trump doesn’t adhere to the Golden Rule. But you know what? I believe this blog is better than the example that POTUS sets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All that said, I want to be crystal clear about one important point: I have no intention<\/em> of letting up in my critique of the current president of the United States.<\/p>\n

I still want him out of office. I want him gone at the earliest possible moment. My preference would be — given current circumstances — for the U.S. Senate to convict him in the upcoming trial that senators will conduct; the House of Representatives has impeached Donald Trump on one count of abuse of power and one count of obstruction of Congress.<\/p>\n

To my way of thinking, Trump has committed both offenses. He needs to go.<\/p>\n

Short of that, I want him out of office no later than Jan. 20, 2021, when the next presidential inaugural takes place. I prefer that someone else would place his or her hand on the Bible to take the oath of office.<\/p>\n

I am going to refrain, though, from using some of the snarky language I’ve used too frequently in this blog.<\/p>\n

I am acutely aware of the language that Trump uses when denigrating his opponents\/critics\/enemies. I don’t expect him to direct any of those epithets at me directly, given that I also am aware he likely doesn’t see my rants. That doesn’t give me license to fire off the kind of baloney he uses to insult and degrade others.<\/p>\n

Thus, I intend to travel onto a higher road.<\/p>\n

However, I intend to remain faithful to my stated desire to do whatever I can to ensure that Donald Trump leaves office much sooner rather than much later.<\/p>\n\n
