An open Letter to Senators John Husted and Bernie Moreno

As a veteran, I am...in equal measure...dismayed and disgusted by the efforts of Donald Trump to subvert the Constitution and the rule of law since day one of his second term in office. In fact the only campaign promise he seems intent on keeping is to become a dictator. The silence of the GOP in regards to this utter lawlessness on Trump's part, is deafening. And it can only be construed as complicity in Trump's efforts to assume dictatorial powers.

47 years ago, my oath of enlistment in the US Navy required that I "support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic". It was not to the President or a political party, but to the Constitution...the bedrock of the Republic. Donald Trump is just such an enemy, and your oath of office...sirs...demands the same loyalty. Loyalty to the Constitution...not the dictator wannabe posing as President nor to the Republican Party which gives him such slavishly servile obedience.

Do you job gentlemen. Do the jobs your oath of office and the Constitution demand of you. Do you jobs or step down for someone who will.

The coming pandemic. Well, any pandemic really.

The coming Trump Congress of Clownfuckery will see a pandemic. The most likely source will be H5N1. Let me tell you how it’s going to go. But first, let me say, be certain you’ve plenty of N-95 or KN-95 masks and hand sanitizer on hand, and be prepared for lengthy periods of self-isolation. It will go much the same way the COVID-19 pandemic went under Donnie Small-Hands. First, there was, “…we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China…”. Next, it was, “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five. ... we think it’s going to have a very good ending for it.” Soon after that, we had Donnie Fuckwit babbling shit about injecting household disinfectants and shoving UV lights up our asses. Then, we had, “The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what...

Welcome to Amerika...Your papers please

Yesterday the American Taliban majority on the Supreme Court of the United State, in a shadow docket ruling, ruled that ICE can...without due process...detain American citizens who aren't white, speak a different language or where they work. Below is a letter sent to the contact pages of Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) and Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH). Yesterday, the Republican appointed majority on the Supreme Court of the United States made racial profiling legal in America again, based on the flimsiest of legal arguments as presented by Brett Kavanaugh. His only justification for this decision lies in ignoring the fact-finding of the District Court, ignoring the policies being pursued by Trump’s kakistocracy, and the unfounded assumption that the President is acting in good faith Now, ICE can detain American citizens who aren’t white, the language they speak, where they go, or where they work. All without due process. This ruling effectively guts the Fourth Amendment and is a...

The Democratic Party, the "opposition" party, needs to start doing some SERIOUS opposing

Of all the disturbing things done by the Trump administration since it took office, the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is the most worrisome. He was taken into custody by ICE officers who failed to identify themselves and, essentially, “disappeared”. He was transported across state lines to Louisiana and incarcerated in the infamous Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center. These actions against a legal, resident alien, married to a US citizen, are no different from those taken by other nascent dictators in the 20th century and this first quarter of the 21st century as they sought to destroy the foundations of an open, democratic society. That I did not see the names of EVEY House and Senate Democrat signed alongside those of 14 other Democratic House members at the bottom of the letter sent to DHS demanding his release was…disappointing. To paraphrase Pastor Martin Niemöller… First, they came for the foreigner And I did not speak out Because I was not a foreigner… T...
