My only thought on the subject is that it would be nice if Trump could do just one thing for the good of the American people.
I want to draw the distinction between:
a) something that enriches Trump, his billionaire donors, and the hateful morons who believe that immigrants who have lived here for decades are a threat to our society
and
b) something that makes the common American healthier, better educated, and financially more secure.
The vast majority of Americans disapprove of what ICE is doing in our Democrat-run cities, not because we’re afraid of them, but because honest people do not condone actions that violate the U.S. Constitution.
Speaking strictly for myself, I consider it my job to remove from the world as much danger, hate, pain, and distress as possible. That means that my absolute highest priority is to see that Trump is removed from office.
This lunacy can’t last much longer.
Keep in mind what happened to Nixon. One day he was fine, and the next day he was on a helicopter, virtually never to be seen again.
Between Jack Smith, the Epstein files, and congressional Republicans who want to remain in office, one has to believe that Trump is toast.
To the reader who sent me this: I like your thinking, and I would love to see the U.S. refashion itself along the lines of Denmark and the other countries at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
Hate, illegal acts, chaos, lies, uncertainty, environmental destruction, ignorance, wanton violence, and national embarrassment.
When I was a young boy, my grandfather, who was one of the most politically conservative people I’ve ever known, told me to “make this world a better place than it was when you got here.”
Now, that seems like a “woke” thing to say.
That’s how far we’ve fallen in the last generation or two.
It’s not the “whole nation.”
It’s 37% of the whole nation.
Most people recognize him as a criminal sociopath.
What amazes me is that there are so few killings associated with these gross violations of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As I was explaining to some friends on a Zoom call recently, imagine this scenario:
A knock on my front door. My wife opens it, and a guy in a ski mask with a gun drawn says that he’s here to take Craig Shields into custody. My wife asks if he has a warrant, and he says no. I hear this conversation from my home office. I have a loaded shotgun in my closet (which I don’t).
Under these circumstances, I would slither down the hallway with my gun, swing around to the front door, and put a hole in the guy’s chest the size of a grapefruit.
The ostensible reason for our Second Amendment is to protect our citizenry from an abusive government.
I seriously do not understand how deaths like this hypothetical one aren’t happening all around this (formerly great) country.
An evil genius?
Let’s be candid.
Before Trump was re-elected, there wasn’t a single soul in the United States who thought there was one chance in a million that America would be brought to its knees by a criminal sociopath in the White House.
