On Tuesdays, I like to write about Amsterdam and at this time of year, when it is light, in essence, from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, the city gifts its residents a surplus of beauty.
But my thoughts are in America where the country is under the hold of those who believe 2+2=5, where the Republicans of Texas have made belief in the big lie dogma, made it a part of their platform. This they do even as the falseness and indecency of that lie gets detailed hour after hour in the January 6th hearings.
A country is not so different from a person, both must look in the mirror of truth to get right with others and with themselves.
Perhaps prosecuting Mr. Trump and those who served him presents legal complications I do not understand.
But for America to crawl towards some moral standing in the world or be able to get a little sleep at night it must try to call this man to account.
. . . Maybe next week I’ll say more about the beauty here.
