Will the President Stage a Mutiny Against His Own Military?

.  Sixty Minutes was scary business.  This morning I woke  up anxious and wasn’t sure why.  But it was anxiety caused by this program.  The video was pretty graphic and descriptive.  They said that Trump could end up pardoning the rioters and perhaps himself before he leaves office.  This is a good reason for impeachment right there.  It’s a matter of national security now.  The other thing is that we may well be living with a constitutional crisis.  Instead of the army committing mutany it could well be the president of the United States that’s guilty of mutany.   These officers, high and low ranking, swear an oath to the constitution and not personal loyal to the president, right or wrong.  Thank God we have a disciplined military who follows their conscience.  These two segments took up two thirds of the show. The third segment was on this heroic and brave football player who suffered a severe injury with his leg and he had complicated and extensive fractures.  They put pins and all sorts of stuff in his leg to keep it together.  He didn’t want to have it amputated, which was a real possibility.  But through sheer grit and a triumph of the human spirit he overcame all odds and now is back playing football again, and it wasn’t that many years.  But I think we have the right to fear for our country the next several days.  They underestimated the severity of the planned disturbance.  These hate groups meant business and did elaborate planning and they were out to win.  They have never had such a wide perimeter.

Healthwise I felt sick yesterday.  I had diaria and took something for that.  I still felt like I had the flu or something.  But later in the evening I felt healthier but then I felt hyper and wasn't sure I could get to sleep.  But I got my Ambien just before seven thirty and it worked.  You can count on Ambien.  I skipped dinner because it was two really cheap bean burritos that would exaserbate my diaria.  I'd like to be over health problems of one form or another.  Today I feel half way decent.
