Crossing the Rubicon?

"At this point of time, I am out of ideas. All I know is this - my country, which has always meant so much to me, is in deep trouble. Crossing the Rubicon is a one way street. If we have truly crossed the Rubicon, where do we go from here? Like I said - I am out of ideas."  

Anything interesting happen on the news yesterday? Sorry, that was a smart aleck question. Yesterday, we might have crossed the Rubicon. Why do I say that? Because we might be at the nexus of sullied history and anarchy. For the umpteenth time, we have seen Donald Trump charged by some federal or state agency. It has become a benign sight for many of us to see. For the 70+ million who still back Donald Trump, what happened yesterday only lionizes him further.

Here is problem one in a nutshell. If Donald Trump was caught with a smoking gun, standing over the body of a still bleeding Joe Biden, many would still not believe it. They would think it was staged. What has been happening with Donald Trump, is a real life example of "crying wolf" way too many times. After the "Russia Hoax" debacle, the believability of the DOJ and FBI, went down to absolute zero. 

And now for problem two. By the way, do you hear what else happened yesterday? The long awaited document from the FBI was released to Representative Comer's committee. From what I have heard, it connects the dots in a more concise way, tying corrupted money from Ukraine to Hunter and Joe. But any news that memo might have contained, was obscured by the blizzard of indictments against Donald Trump.

One experienced formed prosecutor was interviewed on the news about Joe Biden's culpability. If any other wrongdoing was ignored or swept under the rug, they still have Joe stone cold guilty on one thing, which could put him in jail. As a Senator, he stole some classified documents from a SCIF, and kept them at his house. That is a felony, with up to ten years of prison time. Joe's response? "Malarky". Atta boy, Joe! You will look good in orange.

Here is why I have said we crossed the Rubicon. Faith in our system. Right now, the term "Banana Republic" is being used way, way too much. If a large portion of our population thinks our system of justice is bifurcated or corrupted, that is a big problem. If Hillary can skate after having over 30,000 emails on an unauthorized server, if Joe can skate after acquiring extreme wealth by influence peddling, this is a problem.

Where does the truth lie these days? Are we stuck on a nest bed of lies? Who do we believe? Trump? Biden? Clinton? Obama? Who? Or are we to believe the entire lot of them are not worthy of our trust? Do we start from scratch (as someone suggested yesterday), with someone other than Trump and Biden on each ticket? 

At this point of time, I am out of ideas. All I know is this - my country, which has always meant so much to me, is in deep trouble. Crossing the Rubicon is a one way street. If we have truly crossed the Rubicon, where do we go from here? Like I said - I am out of ideas.
