Finally, after a deadly but unsuccessful attempt at a coup, Joe Bided and Kamala Harris have been named President and Vice-President of the United States.
That should make me ecstatic, but after what happened yesterday, in full living color on national television, I am not as happy as I thought I would be.
I sat in front of the television all afternoon and late into the evening yesterday, switching between PBS and NBC, watching what was happening in real life in Washing D.C. Tears ran uncontrolably down my face as I watched what was trying to be the destruction of the land of my birth.
I watched as both men and women, bent on confrontation and destruction, broke the bullet-proff glass in the doors to the capitol. I watched as mostly msen climbed the walls of the chamber of the house of representatives, going through the desks of the house members, waving the Confederate Flag, the antithesis of what I had always thought the U.S. had stood for. I heard on the television yesterday was the first time the Confederate flag had been inside the building. Men and women posing for pictures, sitting at Nancy Pelosi's desk, carrying away a lecturn. I saw guns drawn in the Senate, men and women in sevice to my country to protect the Senators inside.I watched as a woman correspondent from PBS was running to get away from the insanity, being told by the police to find a safe place and stay there.
The whole (mainly ceremonial) event started with the opening of the combined Senate and House of Representatives met to formally accept the electoral college votes. Everything went well until the third state, Arizona, was called upon to accept or oppose the states electoral college votes. Arizona is one of the states the Evil who lives in the White House has claimed the election was rigged. He felt he should have one the states. I can't continue. 4 DEAD
