My Letter to President-Elect Biden

 

Mr.  President-Elect:  Our nation as you know has never been so tested by the rightwing forces of hate as it was yesterday.

When you assume office you will be assuming it in one of the most difficult and trying times that our nation has experienced in modern history; a time that needs not only the reversal of inhumane and uber destructive policies of Trump but also the strong prosecution of those that committed the treasonous and seditious treachery we all witnessed yesterday. 

This violent mob of thugs defiled the most precious building of our democratic process, the Capitol building -- the people's house.  This cannot stand and it must be dealt with strongly in uncompromising fashion to quell our outrage at these outrageous acts.  There must be harsh consequences lest a repeat performance happen again.  The only thing rightwing extremists understand is strong consequences  --  apprehensions, indictments, prosecutions, convictions and punishment for treason leading to jail or worse carrying the death penalty threat.

Four people were killed yesterday and the perpetrators walked away smiling thinking they won as the Capitol police, National Guard and others failed to do the protective job they were entrusted to do.  The Trump loving thugs say they love the police so much yet killed one by bashing him with a fire extinguisher.  The perpetrators of the orgy of violence must be hunted down mercilessly, indicted and tried for treason.  We must do nothing less than that.

NOT ANYMORE
