My friend David M. Russell is smart. And good with words. And despises the president as much as I do. Maybe more. Well said, David:
“Trump has to know the end is near. He is literally setting everything he can on fire.
He just absolutely FUCKED the health insurance market. Neither he nor the GOP ever had a plan, and now the entire market could collapse and we’ll all be paying more until it does.
He’s going to backdoor us out of the Iran nuclear treaty, which betrays our allies and will bring Iran closer to a nuclear weapon.
He’s moving forward on everything he can that pollutes our air, land and water so that coal barons and oil companies can profit.
He’s pushing us hard towards real conflict with North Korea, which would essentially sacrifice the lives of countless thousands of South Koreans.
He’s at war with women in every imaginable way and is working to codify his sexist beliefs.
He’s at war with the LGBTQ community, and he’s working to codify his bigotry.
He’s at war with virtually every non-white population in America — not the least of which is the 3.5 million Americans in Puerto Rico, whom he would very much like to abandon — and he’s working to codify his racism.
He has obstructed justice, in regard to the Russia investigation. A crime. And he admitted it.
He lies to the American public no fewer than 5 times a day on average.
He is in clear violation of the emoluments clause and has been since the moment he was sworn in.
He constantly attacks the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, two of the foundational principles of this nation.
I could go on and on, but do I need to? Not if you follow the unfortunately all-too-real news. He does everything any demagogue in history has done.
He is desperate to undo anything and everything done by America’s first other-than-white President — from the ACA to the bike rack for shared bicycles at the White House — because the Republican Southern Strategy can’t survive if their racist supporters see an other-than-white person succeeding as Obama did, despite the profound and unprecedented irrationality he faced from conservatives.
Trump has to go. Now. And every Republican who refuses to stand up to him and his attempts to turn this great nation, the shining beacon of freedom and democracy, into an authoritarian dictatorship needs to go too.”
