Clear and present danger

Posted

It should be obvious to all but the willfully blind that Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our safety, and to the well being of our country. As such, he must be removed from office immediately either by impeachment or by operation of the 25th amendment.

His conduct in inciting mob violence leading to the destruction of hallowed Federal property, and death of several people is beyond comprehension for a public official, much less the President. Once removed he must face criminal prosecution and incarceration.

Equally offensive to our democracy was the behavior of the Republican leadership, especially Senators Hawley and Cruz, as well as over 100 congressmen and women. They must be stripped of their seats for sedition, sent back to their states, and new representatives can be appointed. It is time for the Republican party to stop being the party of criminals, demagogues, and traitors.

They have blood on their hands and they must be held accountable.

Of course we are also losing 4000 people per day to COVID thanks to Trump’s criminally negligent handling of the crisis.

Remove him from office NOW and lock him up!
