Have We No Decency? A Response to President Trump
https://cathedral.org/have-we-no-decency-a-response-to-president-trump.html
The escalation of racialized rhetoric from the President of the United States has evoked responses from all sides of the political spectrum. On one side, African American leaders have led the way in rightfully expressing outrage. On the other, those aligned with the President seek to downplay the racial overtones of his attacks, or remain silent.
As faith leaders who serve at Washington National Cathedral ¬ the sacred space where America gathers at moments of national significance we feel compelled to ask: After two years of President Trumps words and actions, when will Americans have enough?
As Americans, we have had such moments before, and as a people we have acted. Events of the last week call to mind a similarly dark period in our history:
Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?

The day Trump won the electoral vote!
Right now I am sick at heart of the many enablers he has. They are tearing the country apart for petty politics. Nothing they gain by this is worth the price they are paying.
The whole bloody cabal are treasonous. The care nothing for their country to follow such a pathetic piece of human garbage!
I do feel a little strongly about this subject!
