I thought Election Month 2020 ended my involvement in politics.
I thought, I'm done. I fought a good fight.
Some history...
The first guy that caught my attention in National politics was...
I can't tell you why, I just liked him...it was 1956.
I never really lost interest in politics, I just kept it to myself.
* In 1960 I wanted Kennedy to win
* I remember running to Roosevelt Blvd to watch his motorcade drive by
* I kept watching & listening to what Kennedy was doing
* Your brother is your Atty general? Not a good idea I thought.
* I actually went to the Feltonville Library to look up Dean Rusk...
* Could not find anything...did not know the Dewey Dismal System...
Then I went to High School!
We took the bus & we walked some to get there. No parent drop-offs.
Nobody I met there talked politics.
Nobody I knew there talked anything but sports, boners & the cafeteria.
I floated thru 9th, 10th & 11th grade & was passed on to grade12...
12th grade piqued my interest!
November 22, 1963 during the basketball season, with a Friday night
game scheduled, we learned that President Kennedy had been killed!
The USA was cancelled! It was like the week of 9/11/2001...
Such sadness
Back to politics!
Who the hell is Lyndon B Johnson, I thought.
Back to the Feltonville Library & I found out he was from Texas,
a real big shot. Flew in a helicopter to visit the rural areas of
Texas for re-election. I remember thinking, what does rural mean.
I'll skip to today...and what this post is about.
Trump is the first President in our History to be impeached twice!
* Nancy Pelosi is the first Speaker of the House to bring impeachment
charges vs The President of the United States & A Former President of
the United States in the History of our country!
