The Definition of Insanity

This imbecile president has zero knowledge regarding the separation of powers, the essence of our democracy and that which nations have copied the world over for its brilliance. He has either never read a historical analysis of the colonial period that was the stone cutter of our Constitutional democracy or he is just plain illiterate and stupid to boot. I suspect it is all of those things as he has read nothing and, perhaps, even cannot read a thing.  This is sadly our president, the occupant of the most powerful office in the world capable of destroying it and all we know in it in a nuclear nanosecond.

The definition, it is said, of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. This dolt president asked his immediate world if they could prevail upon Attorney General Sessions not to recuse himself and then asked FBI Director James Comey himself to drop the investigation of Michael Flynn and Russia. When he would not Trump, in ignorance, fired him and did not give one second of thought to an obstruction of justice charge that could be made against him by anyone assuming the authority of the investigation of Trump's ties to Russia and its ties to influencing a presidential election. This is evidence, yet again, of Trump's profound Constitutional and historical ignorance. He has no idea that his power is profoundly checked by a separation of powers; by a separate and independent judiciary and that he is not a king despite his thinking that he is.

If he remains in office after his and his administration's gargantuan Constitutional abridgements, unethical behaviors as well as his alleged conflicted illegal money laundering business interests then he has successfully subverted our democracy begun by patriots in 1776 and honed for nearly 2 and one half centuries.   If he is not removed from office than he has successfully done what the British could not do in 1776, what Confederates who fought to destroy this nation in 1860 could not do, what Hitler and the Axis powers could not do in 1941, what Communists (including Russia) and Fascists alike could not do in the 20th century.

Surely we will not let this stupid man bring this nation down exposing it to those who would love nothing more than to annihilate it.  This cannot be so. This must not happen. "A Republic if you can keep it" said Benjamin Franklin when asked what type of government the Founders formed. We will keep it, indeed, rather than let a con man, charlatan, classless carnival barker swamp thing kill it and worse leave this nation open to those adversaries in the 21st century, including Russia, that would seek destroy it.

RESIST and share this with whomever you choose.

Democratic Presidential Convention--On to November

  I watched the Democratic convention last evening until my body's demand for sleep overtook me around midnight.  Having followed thin...
