Smithsonian/Trump/Impeachment
In America
our President has initiated a new form of history. He often does this in speeches and in talks
from the Oval Office. But this
transaction with the Smithsonian Institute seems small and somewhat
humorous. The institute modified a
presidential display which included the entire history of Presidential
Impeachments. Trump had two impeachments
from his actions in his first term in office.
Two is a record in American history and Trump would like not to hold
that record, which he terms a hoax. The
two impeachments were issued by a Democratic majority in The House of
Representatives. When the indictments
were sent to the Senate for trial, he was found not guilty of both
impeachments. The Smithsonian has
removed the history of impeachments after 2008 (Trump’s impeachments). History is ruled from the Oval Office.
We no longer
have a functioning democracy in America.
Our representatives primarily vote straight party line (a “rubber
stamp”). They do not vote their wisdom
or their conscience. Political parties
have outlived their usefulness. In the
second Senate Impeachment Trial, the Republican Senate voted not to hear
testimony or see evidence in documents.
That sounds crazy if not for the fact that their votes were determined
before the “trial”. Most of the
testimony in the first impeachment trial was given by Republicans, but not
considered by the Republican majority.
Democrats would do the same, as illustrated in the Clinton impeachment
trial. This political folly is also a
part of our legislation. When Mitch
McConnell was the majority leader of the Senate, he had over three hundred bills
passed by a Democratic House of Representatives that he did not introduce to
the Senate for discussion or a vote. We
had legislation by death on McConnell’s desk.
A Democratic Senator or a Republican Congressman that you elected had
damn little influence on your government.
And now our President writes our history.
If an
organization as strong and well established as The Smithsonian Institute cannot
stand up for truth who can? Certainly
not your news corporations. The reason
why not is in their names. After all,
they are corporations. Income is their
guide. Truth will not come from a
crystal ball on the internet, it is too one sided. You can trust your eyes and ears, but that
gives you a very small radius of truth.
Your mind is not reliable unless the data that enters it is. And has it
ever been the case?
