Dr. Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Monday, February 8, 2020

We’re discussing one of the most monumental moments in our history as a nation, the impeachment of a president who incited a mob against our sitting government, breeched it’s walls, and caused the death of it’s citizens.  It’s hard to imagine how far down the rabbit hole  we’ve fallen to end up at this point, but change and relief must come soon after four years on the rollercoaster ride that’s left us in the middle of an ongoing and seemingly ceaseless pandemic. We also discussed our ongoing relationship dilemmas we have with China and what it could mean for our future as a world power.

We’ll be live again this Thursday to review the beginning of the impeachment and be ready to discuss our thoughts on it’s turn out in the next podcast. We hope you’ll be able to join us.

The mercy and unity that the GOP seems to be extending to their own doesn’t seem to trickle down to the people. The cloak of a fiscally conservative governing body has been exposed as a very self interested group that doesn’t seem to represent a large number of people, just corporations. Relief for a nation that’s been steamrolled into a morally and fiscally corrupt pandemic, with a pathologically insane lack of planning, now wants to argue that a drop of rain can save a life on a parched desert. I suppose in their view we should just work harder, so where’s the jobs?

With an echo down the millenia from a far distant place and time, the House asks of Marjorie Taylor Greene Q-cumber, “How long, O Q-ball, will you abuse our patience?” Eleven Republicans found their courage and honored their oaths. The other 199? Scared to death of Big MAGAT and bowels turned to water, they eagerly cast their votes to give a woman who advocated political assassinations a voice in House committees. Meanwhile, the rank-and-file Q-balls aren’t going away. And a new vaccine may be on the way, a one-shot wonder, not that the COVIDiots will care.

Glory! Praise! E.W. Jackson says he won’t be meeting lots of people in heaven. I’ve never felt better about not being there. Chappy Klingenschmitt says the Debbil controls Joe Biden. Black pastor receives “cordial” racist letter when he leaves the Texas SoBap Con. Elsewhere, Joe Manchin is waaaaaaaay past his fifteen minutes, while there’s a renewed grift to primary him.

The First One Hundred Days of the Biden Administration has it’s work cut out for it. While the GOP’s call for unity rings hollow in the midst of an insurrection, a pandemic, and the general disorder that’s come about in the last four years, we’re at a juncture that if we don’t work together a bad situation could become far more dire. Accountability has been an ongoing theme for the last administration, yet here we are and no one claims ownership of the acts of sedition that was incurred on home soil by it’s own peoples and involved members of the government itself. This is something that’s clearly defined in the Constitution and is most definitely defined as a crime. It may seem as if the light at the end of the tunnel may have dimmed a bit, but have heart. We’ve weathered storms throughout the history of our nation and we’ll weather this one together as well.

 

Thank you, the listener, for your support of the continuation of Civics education and the continuing conversations on government. We do what we do for you.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who gets tongue-tied. Chuck Schumer did today, and hilariously. Lauren Bobble-Head Boebert tries to introduce a bill. Talibandiana begins Attack Trans People Season. TrumpTrial delayed. Hopefully, it’s not “Justice denied.” Rafaelito Eduardo Cruz, the Annointed Booger-Eatin’ Future King of America whines about ethics charges. New ethics charges filed in the House against Cawthorn, Gosar, and some other seditious ass from Arizona. Nitwit Nero really was trying to foment a coup. Lindsey Graham finds a lawyer for Nitwit Nero . . . and he’s BUTCH!

We have $380 to finish funding this past week’s broadcasting. Your help is what keeps this effort alive. Go here to help.

Our discussion today is focusing on a new administration and the challenges that it’s facing in the coming weeks. Civil unrest, a global pandemic, and an outgoing administration that refuses to loose gracefully aren’t the making of an easy transition. We’re a nation of division, constantly creating a hierarchy that defeats the purpose of the words freedom and liberty, because it’s only with unity that those ideas can come to fruition. We stand together and we prosper as our ancestors before us did, because that’s the American way. 

Moranovid Monday, Head-ON With Robyn Kincaid, 18 January 2021

Here’s hoping everyone has had a peaceful and meaningful holiday in remembrance of Dr. King.

The seditious attack on the Capitol continues to yield a bumper crop of morans. Naturally, there had to be another West Virginian to embarrass my state. Rep. Lauren “Bobble-head” Boebert gets outed as one of the seditionists who helped MAGATS “case” the Capitol. Arizona MAGAT has a sad over “Lowe’s” canceling Josh “Treason-Is-My-Middle-Name” Hawley’s fundraiser in Floridastan. Hitler! Stalin! Wake up, Sheeeeeple! 

Then, a treat: Dan Fisher joins me for another of our rousing conversations and introduces us to a reeeeallllly fun new game!The GoFundMe campaign for my dental work has stalled at about 40% of the goal. If you’d like to help and are able, go to  the campaign page. Please share it around to your social media networks. That’s how we’ll get this dental nightmare taken care of. Thank-you!

What chaos comes from the lack of Civics. Lately we’ve had the horror of seeing in real time what happens when the proverbial bottom falls out and things come crashing down due to the firm foundation those things were set on collapsing. But were we ever truly firm? What’s happened in the years spanning from 1939 till now that we didn’t learn this lesson the first time around is mindboggling, that human life is precious, and the only way to liberty and happiness is that all peoples are free. If nothing else can be gained by the last four years of this presidency, it’s this, we will most definitely fall as a nation if we don’t stop this spiral into Machiavellianism and stabilize the people who’ve been caught up in this global game of RISK. The moral of the story? Don’t cut off your nose to spite your own face. We can thrive if we work together.
