Where have all the people gone, gone to Trump's hell every one,
When will they every learn, when will they ev-er learn?
((For you Seniors, remember Peter, Paul & Mary. The above is sung to the tune of "Where have all the flowers gone.")
When I first contemplated writing this op-ed, I was looking for the right words to express the horror and disgust at what has happened to our once great nation. I refuse to call Trump POTUS, President, or any other name which would denote respect. For me, the only properly descriptive word that I can pull from my limited vocabulary to aptly describe this despot would be the Orange Barbarian. Tens of millions of Americans are looking at our political situation, and no one knows what to do. Unfortunately, the GOP is in full control of the Orange Barbarians future, and they won't get rid of him until they're finished using him and then can pass on the blame to him after he is gone. We all know that Trump reads very little, hardly ever, if even one time read one of the executive statements that he signed. Unfortunately, the president United States is a metal midget in comparison to a plethora of world leaders that look upon him with disgust and disdain.
The real issue we face is far worse than any other this nation has ever faced from internal foes. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan continue to support the Orange Barbarian because he will sign and support legislation that he hasn't even read and wouldn't understand even if he did. In truth, the GOP has a patsy in place of a president, and they are attempting to pass the most draconian cuts to social services and other programs in the history of this nation. Americans should demand - not ask for the FBI to investigate Congress as a whole. The United States Congress has very little respect for privacy and our freedoms. Therefore, I believe that each and every one of our congressional members should be under the same investigative techniques that are used against "We the people."
It is obvious that the Orange Barbarian is deeply and malignantly mentally ill. He appears to be hell-bent on destroying our nation. There is no question or doubt that the GOP health care plan passed by the House of Representatives will result in the deaths of innocent people. There is no question that poor children, the disabled and the elderly will also face unnecessary deaths in their communities because of the GOP's financial assault on the people who can least afford it.
In summation, we all know what this means for the United States. The GOP knows that POTUS is fatally flawed and dangerous to the United States and the global community in general. We should all demand a new election rather than an impeachment of the Orange Barbarian. Remember, Freedom is not free! We have reached a tipping point in our politics, how the GOP and the 1% look upon the rest of the population, and worst of all - a climate denying POTUS that respects no one, no nation, or even his family. Article 25 was written for a reason; use it! Every day that POTUS is left in the White House is another day the entire nation and the global community are in danger.
Do your damn jobs, otherwise, when this is over, sedition and treason charges should be brought upon the GOP leadership if they fail to act when our nation is in clear and present danger of becoming a Third World Country.
