Jon served our country for 9 years in the US Navy as a damage control man on his ship, the USS Ashland. He was in fact a fireman on the ship. Reenlisted as recruiter in his second enlistment. We love him and his whole family. Really had a great time there for our visit yesterday. Hope your day is wonderful even though you are working.
It is difficult to move into the current world we live in seeing images of the chaos splashed around the world's news outlets. Realistically, nothing will happen to 45 until he departs. Pence won't invoke the 25th amendment and impeachment will only go so far in that the senate is on holiday break till Jan 19th with the swearing in for the new president taking place the following day. I am personally feeling down hearted that our country has come to this. Honestly, I was never too much of a flag waver. Was proud of my kids and my wife serving in the military. Have increased respect for their staunchness in the face of adversity. But in the face of an attempted coup of our government, I feel deflated.
Clearly half or nearly half of our country fully supports this guy and many feel the election held this past November was fraudulent. I am far from morally superior but cannot imagine their mind set. To me, we have two major issues in this country that divide us, the religion of Trumpism and systemic racism. Both seem to be belief systems. It is very difficult to deter a believer.
Please stay safe
all for now
