Please Dear God No… Do not send Eric Greitens to the United States Senate

Eric Greitens is running for the United States Senate from the state of Missouri.  He was briefly Governor of Missouri, but he was chased out of office.  He resigned amid allegations of sexual assault and campaign finance impropriety.  As the Washington Post put it:

“Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens left the state capitol in disgrace as he faced down two criminal charges, an ethics probe, and public fallout over reports that he’d had an affair with a hairdresser and then allegedly tried to blackmail her with nude photos.”

Somehow he managed to get much of that dismissed…

Just in case you do not know, RINO stands for Republican In Name Only aka Republican politicians that are  not Trump supporters, that are not MAGA enough.  The message of this video is abundantly clear, that MAGAs should hunt these folks down, and apparently with military grade weapons.

For the sake of me, I do know understand why this type of ad is legal, why any TV station would air it, and why YouTube does not take it down.  IMHO, if one of these”RINOs” is murdered or even assaulted, Eric Greitens should be charged as an accomplice.

Please God No… Do not send Eric Greitens to the United States Senate.

Just for the record I did report this video to YouTube as promoting terrorism.  I pray many folks follow suite.

Thank you YouTube to listening to many, many folks and taking this awful video down from your site.

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #8,851

yeah I know you did not ask!

Scary fact from NPR article: What Coronavirus Exposes About America’s Political Divide

From the article:

“Right now, a majority of Americans live in just nine states and so are entitled to just 18 senators (less than one-fifth of the total), according to 2019 Census estimates. At the same time, about 18% of the population is spread out over 27 of the least populous states. So less than one-fifth of the nation’s population has a 54-seat majority in the Senate.”

Further down it continues:

“Defenders of the original Constitution and its view of states’ rights argue that the non-proportionate Senate still makes sense, or that it can be amended through the usual process. But a constitutional amendment requires three-fourths of the states to agree, meaning it can be blocked by as few as 13.”

Our founding fathers got a lot of things right, but there are a number of things, in retrospect, they could have done better.  This is one of them.  We do not want the urban side running roughshod over the rural areas, but right now it seems the rural is doing that to the urban.
