The President of the United States was found guilty on one impeachment charge by 48 U.S. Senators. Only one senator did not vote along party lines, and that was Sen. Mitt Romney, who found Trump guilty. On the second charge, 47 senators found Trump guilty.

A number of Republican senators said that Trump shouldn’t have done what he did, which was to commit high crimes and misdemeanors, but they just couldn’t vote guilty on the impeachment counts. Their excuses were laughable. Sen. Collins of Maine said on national TV that she believed Trump learned his lesson!

Trump clearly has not learned any lessons. Last night, every page of his speech included one lie after another, so much so that the Speaker of the House chose to rip her copy of the speech in front of us all.

It’s dark day for the United States. Trump will show no remorse, but instead will revel in his so called acquittal.

Powerful Santa Ana winds reached hurricane force, exceeding 80-100 miles per hour. Two fires, the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Fire in Altadena, have caused the most damage. The map shown here is an overview of the significant fires in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Examining Trump’s Authoritarian Strategies in 2020: His Attempted Coup

I wrote this post in on December 10, 2020 from my home office. From here, I can see wetlands formed from Mud Creek. Mud Creek is a small stream about 100 meters from my backyard. It runs for a few miles until it merges with Noses Creek. Eventually, it meets with Sweetwater Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s largest river.

I have been writing from this office since 1993. I will share more in the future as The Mud Creek Chronicles.

Visiting the past can help us navigate the future. This is especially true now. We have a wannabe dictator and a known authoritarian. They prefer meeting with leaders of authoritarian nations rather than democratic leaders.

Donald Trump and his sycophants were trying to steal the 2020 election. I wrote this nearly a month before he incited thousands to attack the United States Capitol Building. It was obvious. Or it should have been obvious. Autocrat Trump was showing the world that he was determined to stay in office, no matter what.
What did we learn from this attempted coup?
