I've Got A Secret Society

From our political correspondent Dorothy "Lottie" Dawe:

From an article from The Hill today:  "The scorched-earth attacks against the FBI by a growing number of House and Senate Republicans demonstrate a high degree of fear that special counsel Robert Mueller will make blockbuster moves in the coming days and weeks that will define the fate of ongoing investigations of the Russian attack against America." 

The complete article is HERE.

Trump and his attack dogs are unrelenting in their assaults and their attempts to undermine the FBI and the US Intelligence community. They are attempting to destroy the public's trust and faith in the professionals who work day and night to protect our country. Their destructive attacks are  as disgraceful as they are shameful.  

Some of Trump's sycophants and toadies are even reporting mock outrage about a "secret society" within the FBI, one bent on destroying the Trump regime.

There is a secret society, but it's not within the FBI.  No, the secret society is the neo-Nazi white supremacists who have infiltrated the White House and the GOP in their not-so-secret attempts to re-white America.  Trump's secret society is bent on destroying the pillars of our democratic republic (an independent judiciary; due process; freedom of the press; freedom of speech) in a not-so-secret attempt to bleach the diverse fabric of our society.  It is all as disgusting as it is deplorable.

The GOP's non-stop and aggressive attacks on the FBI called to mind a poem by Emmett Lee Dickinson entitled "The going from the world we know" (below on the left).  His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "the going from a world we know" (below on the right). 

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
The going from the world we know
To one that’s whiter still’s
The GOP’s perversity
Whose clan is on the Hill.
Behind the Hill is devilry
And everyone’s on edge,
To join his secret coterie
Entails a cult-like pledge.
​

By Emily Dickinson:

The going from a world we know
To one a wonder still
Is like the child's adversity
Whose vista is a hill,
Behind the hill is sorcery
And everything unknown,
But will the secret compensate
For climbing it alone?
​

Every day we sink further down the rabbit hole -- or should I say "further down the swamp hole"?  Trump isn't draining the swamp.  He's flooding the swamp and stocking it with swamp critters (as long as the swamp critters say that they voted for him and that they agree to pledge allegiance to him).  

At this point we can only hope that Robert Mueller does, in fact, have some blockbuster move in store for us -- to save our country.
