After Mueller Barred — What’s Next America?

There’s All Kinds of Collusion

It’s not the devastating disastrous challenges with which the webs of conservative government wallowing in demagogic visions of billionaire boards, nor Global Climate Change denials that entangle us — it’s the art of how we deal.

Our best, what’s next, is making reparations for the meaningful we’ve stolen from others — especially during our Trump/Pence error — with affordable healthcare including preexisting conditions, electing descendants of former slaves to positions of power and saving all children and students from ICE, unbearable student loan debt and Betsy Devos.

Next, cease following The Right in the wrong direction; desist obsessing over our mythically enhanced past; ellipse debris of our serial Gates, Trickle-Down deceit and Bushwhacked, Mistakes were Made — and walk the walk, we’ve incessantly talked.

What’s next? Patience for under-informed family and friends; turn off media conjecture turned hyped gossip; tune out Madison Ave marketing whitewashing thinking — resist billion-dollar wall pieces and Billionaire CEOs, with an out of this world plan to escape earth’s climate challenges.

Reason is the saving infrastructure sparing America fragmentation by mob rule choruses wailing No Collusion cover-up chants. With or without the trumped, We the People must lead by the constitutional example of peaceful assembly — transforming, petition the Government for a redress of grievances, into being elected to all levels of it.

As people, nation and earth’s inhabitants, our ultimate power is Free Will steeped in, Freedom of Choice — brimming with the Exceptionalism of Self-Determination.

Remembering, Nixon was reelected in a landslide even after Watergate was headlined news, let us individually self-examine, why: if, a combo of The Right conservatives indifferent to criminal politicians vs. an extremely Liberal candidate on The Left — then decline a rerun of, what is past is prologue.

If we must test, Divided We Fall, let’s plant Ol’ Glory in a watershed opposing Pence religious hypocrisy zealots, McConnell’s secretly banker rented cronies and the Impeachment cravings of an energized Left Wing perhaps too pragmatically deficient, to see the core of immorality is conservatives losing sight of it.

The lies we continue to tell ourselves about Sandy Hook, NRA comrades enabling Las Vegas, Orlando’s Pulse and Parkland murders while ignoring Trump’s ICE cold kidnapping of our morality, by imprisoning and trafficking children, demands our, what’s next, must confront our Peter Principal reality show personality’s Base, despite understanding finally, no matter the cause, reasonable people do not possess infallible powers to reason with people who choose to be unreasonably committed to unscrupulous men without reason.

What’s Next then: All-inclusive Liberalism recapturing and intellectually nurturing America’s FDR/JFK center.

Current Republican Party Conservatives, as Barbara Bush discovered but failed to internalize, are reminder and reflection that, America was never a united country speaking in one voice, nor Americans all for one and one for all — notwithstanding the brief shining moments of civilian and military leadership during our Revolution, World War II and Cuban Missile Crisis — when such courage and humanity preserved, protected and defended both America and humankind.

What’s next, courageously honor America’s Herstory, acknowledge contributions of LGBTQ, people of color and immigrants knowing the real lessons rooted in perpetual wars are, the breeding grounds for Wall Street greed and GOP deceit.

America’s best defense is not offensive inhumane government, in the pocket of bankers banking on Recession returns. It is in choosing to peacefully lead by examples of the Golden Rule, even if 35% of us, choose to pretend, foreigners seeking asylum at our southern borders are greater threats to America’s greatness than those hacking our elections.

Even when a president surrounds himself, and by extension us, with felonious cohorts and moneyed Republican puppeteers of the trumped, are breathtakingly motivated for a Mars relocation — division conquers only when both sides contribute to its derision.

Claiming to love God and Country, while disdaining climate science, diminishing affordable healthcare and neglecting gender & racial equality and livable income parity, is anti-Christian, anti-American and anti-earth’s stewardship.

After Leon Jaworski v. Richard Nixon, our judicial system decided it is the legal responsibility of Congress, not an Attorney General, to determine how a special prosecutor’s discovery is to be applied during and after 1600 Pennsylvania Ave occupation expires.

Mueller wrote, “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Now, what’s next: We the People demanding our government’s Office of Legal Counsel follow Trump’s suggestion to investigate, the other side: why Trump was exonerated by his handpicked AG and why conservatives continue denying life on earth its last chance: an American Green New Deal.

The challenge of all-inclusive government is the Democratic gauntlet at the feet of McConnell’s trumped GOP, and what’s next is not premature victory laps with vengeful intent, but like a Mueller Grand Jury, an accountability mirror reflecting America, continuing robustly.
