I was HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO. Now, disappointed, disillusioned and wondering.....

      Holding Out for a Hero has been a favorite song, ever since it was played for one of my favorite protagonists in a fictional drama.   The song is catchy and uplifting because in the end, I suppose, we all want love to win out, good to triumph over evil.

     I do not think I was the only one pinning a lot of hopes on Mueller.  Clearly SNL was.  I had many folks, folks like myself thinking he would save the day…or at least begin the process of ending this corrupt administration with a resounding call to all citizens to go forth.   Of course there were many DOJ folks, former ones, singing his praises daily so that had my hopes up.

     Now I feel empty.  Even after I learned he was friends with Baghdad Barr for decades, despite Barr’s cover ups  in Iran Contra, I held out some hope.  I understand how friendships can be complicated. But now, I feel we have lost.  I get it. He did say/imply in his curt pronouncements”Time for the House to impeach. I agree with him on that.  Time for the Dems to impeach.  But he also let it be known a) he is done b) he will not go against Baghdad Barr. ImagineDumbledore telling Harry….”I did enough to help you get started.  Now go do it. I am done.”  There I am again, holding out for a hero.

      I am not stupid.  Neither is Mueller.  He has to KNOW the Senate will not convict, not ever.  The republicans have sold their souls out for vulture capitalism and the power and riches it gives to white men of privilege.  They are all owned by the Kochs, the Mercers, etc.  This is why they all love the “unitary executive” as much as Barr does.   It rewards skin color and gender like no other.  Maybe Mueller thinks his job is done and whatever happens does not matter because the truth is none of it will affect people like him.  Sigh.   People of color, women, poor children may be destroyed but he will have kept the DOJ in tact. 

    So here I am.  What now? More marches so we get Speaker Pelosi to impeach?  Wait until 2020 until we beat POS POTUS fat a**?  What if he says no and does not step down even if he does lose?  Who will enforce it?  Barr?  Mitch?  The NRA???

     I am putting this out there in hopes some of the less disheartened, more informed in legal matters, will inform me that not all is lost.  Because as I see this corrupt admin continuing to cage children, destroy families, I also see him making sure every one of the worst polluters now have free reign to do whatever they want to whatever they want.  I see more than a few of the military supporting the corrupt republic, answering my question about every dystopian novel: “How did they get so many to enforce their evil?” Answer: FOX NEWS, Rush Limbaugh streamed to every military base….and of course “religion’, the opiate that creates justification for even the worst evil.

  I will say that despite my frustration, my despair, I have called my Congress person, tweeted her, even though she has already said she is for impeachment.  I have also tweeted Speaker Pelosi and Nadler.  I will probably march if I am needed and If I can.  At nearly 74, the body is not always as willing as the mind…..in the heat.   I do it because I do not want the grand children to be living in an “Elysium” like world.    Any suggestions, rays of hope, enthusiastically accepted.
