When all is said and done the only person who will actually believe his version of history is Trump himself.

That's part of the illness.

This is about today. Right now. With a sick old man spending his remaining energy screaming at everything he doesn't like on his own little social media platform — there is not a chance in hell he is simultaneously running the most powerful government on earth.

So who is?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The Founders feared two things above almost everything else: a standing army loyal to one man, and an executive who could act without legal consequence. They built a system of separated powers precisely to prevent either. The immunity ruling does not merely strain that system. It carves a hole in it.

That's what this series has been. Not solutions. Not a platform. Not a party. Just someone who has been paying attention since 1964 sitting with the question honestly and refusing the checkboxes that don't fit.

Harry Chapin understood it. His little man said it best.

'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere. And anywhere's a better place to be.

We don't need a monument to remember this lesson. We don't need a reminder carved in stone.

This one will be DNA.

Let that be how we actually honor the ones who earned our respect.

That is not a rhetorical question. It is the most practical question anyone can ask right now.

Seeds need ground. Ground needs memory. Memory needs honesty.

We are running out of all three.

Same work scenario, same house, same need for caffeine, same TV and why is that big plane flying to those buildings. I didn't have a clue to what was unfolding, I just turned on, you guessed it, the television and watched the twin towers turn into rubble. September 11, 2001, 3000 died in that attack against our soil and out freedom.

The donkey and the elephant. I'm not sure either animal still exists in any form I recognize.

What replaced them nobody has named yet.

From the Author of The Long View From 1964

The Second Amendment was never about Vinney the desperado riding into town looking for a fight. It was never about bravado or immunity or masks or the performance of toughness by people who have never actually been tested.

But we have already established in this country that fair elections and accepted elections are not always the same thing.

I have a sinking feeling we will find ourselves watching Second String Donny screaming foul again. Not just about the midterms. About the $1.776 billion that was stolen from his patriots along with everything else.
