One of these days, maybe soon, Americans are going to get past the aftershocks of the political era that ended earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has exited the White House. President Joe Biden has gotten right to work. But wait! We have another Senate trial awaiting us.<\/p>\n

That, too, will become history. Senators can concentrate on other issues that affect the many millions of us who are weary of the pandemic, those who have been sickened by it, those who are mourning the loss of loved ones.<\/p>\n

I am waiting with a certain degree of anxiousness for an end to the turmoil that continues to roil the waters.<\/p>\n

It might take a long, long while for total normality to return. I am hoping we can experience that return even in increments. If we continue the journey back from the tempest that Donald Trump created almost daily, we will realize the progress we are making in real time.<\/p>\n

I am acutely aware that there will be impediments to that recovery. It rests largely with the Trumpsters who continue to occupy public offices and those who bought into the Big Lie that Trump kept fomenting, the one about alleged voter thievery in the presidential election. We all witnessed the result of what that gullibility produced; the Capitol Hill insurrection was frightening in the extreme and to be candid, I haven’t gotten over it yet.<\/p>\n

A new day will arrive. We will be cleansed eventually from the toxicity that Donald Trump brought us.<\/p>\n

I am ready for a new day.<\/p>\n\n
