I am full of equal parts hope and fear as the U.S.\u00a0 House 1\/6 select committee prepares to air in public much of what it has heard in private about the insurrection that occurred on the Sixth of January, 2021.<\/p>\n

I hope that the public will rally around what I am certain will be appalling evidence that the former president conspired to overturn the results of a fair and legal election.<\/p>\n

My fear is that The Donald’s cultists will be energized to label it all as “fake news” and well could win the argument that will ensue.<\/p>\n

Moreover, I hope that the public’s rage at what it learns will erode even more Trump’s hold on the Republican Party, that he will be seen as the clear and present danger to the democratic system of government he once took an oath to protect.<\/p>\n

Then again, I fear that the Trumpkins’ grip will tighten and the GOP will continue to nominate certifiable nut jobs to high office.<\/p>\n

We’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of the burglary at the Democratic National Commitee offices in the Watergate complex. On June 17, 1972, seven dipsh**s were caught rifling through files. The coverup that ensued found its way to the White House. President Nixon had to resign.<\/p>\n

He quit because he was told by Republican senators he didn’t have the support within the body to survive an impeachment trial.<\/p>\n

My hope is that enough Republicans will surface after the public revelations of the 1\/6 insurrection that Trump will be forced into hiding, never to be seen or heard from again.<\/p>\n

My fear is that the Republican Party today is populated by cowards.<\/p>\n
