Let's highlight the damage caused by Trump and the GOP's rejection of science.

I'll try to keep it short and sweet..

Trump and the GOPs rejection of science damages our planet, our health, and the health of our nation.

Global warming - we are simply running out of time to save this planet's ability to sustain life. Rising oceans, flooding, increased severe weather events, growing deserts, climate shift, extinction of sensitive species, greater difficulty growing food, famine, war.

Covid - Trump's "hoax" has killed 270000+ in 10 months. It has created a nationwide shortage of healthcare, docs, nurses, medical supplies and hospital beds. This might be the greatest crisis our country has ever seen. Self-inflicted by Trump.

Evolution - The GOP has long rejected the proven science of evolution as a back door attempt to restore christian fundamentalism and its conservative war against everything that doesn't keep white christian cons in power.

Oil pipelines and their spills, flooding our rivers with oil.

Fracking and its associated pollution and geographic degradation.

since math is a discipline of science..

They reject the math that proves the destructive effects of the wealth divide.

Carbon emissions - Ex-congresswoman Michelle Bauchman and Trump both think more carbon equals a greener world.


Shrinking and disappearing glaciers, many of which were hundreds, or thousands of years old.

Poles are melting.

They reject the science that proves that we need environmental standards in order to regulate.

Pollution - they reject the science that proves the toxic effects of pollution on our health and environment.

Agent Orange and the GOP's rejection of science are national security threats that also threaten the health of our entire biosphere.
Are these threats wandering into criminal territory? Does a bear shit in the woods?

Agent Orange's narcissistic lack of empathy and rejection of science..

have caused the latest explosion of covid.

But even worse, it has created hospital staff, equipment shortages. It has also created shortages of hospital beds for sick patients.

Doctors are now forced to ration care to those severe cases of covid. Doctors are being forced to choose between who to treat, who they can attempt to save, and those too far gone to save.

This rationing is killing patients that they might otherwise be able to save. Doctors have no choice as they are overwhelmed by those sickened by covid.

Hospitals, doctors and nurses are being overwhelmed to a point that they are forced to make these grim choices.

They simply have no alternative.

It's wearing our doctors and nurses thin as they struggle emotionally with the horror they are witnessing on a daily basis.

Trump's rejection of science and his choice to ignore the devastating effects of covid have now led to more than 270,000 in the 10 months since covid started spreading. It has caused a national crisis throughout our entire healthcare system.

Have governors issued any state of emergency orders? If not, it's time. Their hospitals are beyond critical level of emergency.

Agent Orange's pandemic is burning our country to the ground. As in scorched earth.

.............................
The presidential oath is a legally binding required oath of office..

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Trump's willful actions and choices violate that oath. To the tune of 270000+ dead US citizens in 10 months.

Covid is now becoming a leading cause of death in the US. It may soon rival heart disease. The sick part, so many of these deaths could have been avoided with better leadership.

Trump and the GOP's refusal to help states with additional covid funding and stimulus have created this new hospital shortage crisis.

Said funding could've hired more front-line healthcare workers, bought more hospital equipment, purchased more medications that may aid the fight against covid, and built more temporary quarantine facilities for overflow patients.

Has Trump not violated his oath to a criminal level? The same can be said about almost the entire GOP that have stone-walled new covid funding for states. The GOPs stone-walling has become the #1 national security threat that we've ever seen.

In 1989; 50,000 US citizens were killed by drunk drivers. Then we woke up, and regulated.

The results..

(Still too high)
About 10,000 US citizens die annually due to drunk driving crashes as of 2019.

As a former over-the-road truck driver, I've encountered drunk driving crashes on our highways. I've helped EMT's remove a persons legs from a crashed car, then their torso. Get the meaning of the seriousness of drunk driving crashes?

Yes, that is 100% true.

Regulation is a necessary function. It results from dangerous wrong-doing. From environmental destruction to banks preying on the impoverished to drunk drivers killing innocent families..

Regulation works.

Never let a GOPer tell you that regulation is a bad thing.

as Agent Orange enters into the death throes of his illegitimate presidency..

It's being speculated that the orange felon is preparing some 3 dozen orders in regards to environment, immigration, etc

He will attempt to scorch the earth in the dying final days of his presidency. He's scorched it since 2016.

He will cement his authoritarian, evil legacy as one of history's most vile and despicable humans to ever hold office.

His partner in crime, Mike Pence has clearly exposed his own spinelessness by remaining silent on election outcomes. Aspiring leaders should never stay silent on any important subject.

Pence is a weak-willed, wooden puppet. His cowardice proves he is unfit to hold any office and there should be calls for his immediate resignation.

History will cement the legacies of these two fascist tyrants as they attempt to scorch democracy in their final dying days.

Trump and Pence will attempt to crash the United States. They're both national security threats.

Democrats, call Trumps lame-duck presidency a natl security threat.

Time for a Pro-Dem pac to be formed to run ads during NFL games that call for Trump to concede?

Not just NFL games but also on popular shows like "Masked Singer" and on various social media platforms like youtube etc.

With a common theme, directed at the orange felon..

Concede and stop your voter tampering efforts to invalidate voters legally cast ballots.

Let's make a national embarrassment out of Trump, something he unwittingly strives for already. Let's cement his legacy as the orange embarrassment, a reputation that will live on in infamy and will echo for eternity.

Regarding Trump's voter-tampering and efforts to invalidate votes, his continued lawsuits and refusal to concede are national security threats.

Democrats, it's time to take the gloves off. Trump is giving us no other choice.

The perfect response to Trump running in 2024..

Via the incoming attorney general..

Appoint any army of special prosecutors, each tasked with investigating and prosecuting the multiple crimes of the Trump family, and the GOP cover-up.

An AG appointed SP will lay bare the many Trump felonies.

It's as simple as that.

LOCK HIM UP!!

November 26, 2020

Did senate GOPers aid and abet Putin by blocking witnesses?

Did their treasonous actions warrant a special prosecutor by the incoming AG to investigate potential said crimes?

November 26, 2020

I'm thankful..

that our democracy cured the orange fever that has plagued our democracy for the past 4 years.

Voting is more important than ever.

Joe and Kamala are a breath of fresh air, even to my covid scarred lungs.

If then-AG Janet Reno did appoint a special prosecutor to investigate a real estate transaction..

that only turned up an infamous stain on a woman's dress..

Special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's witch-hunt of the Clinton's Whitewater real estate investments turned up nothing, no criminal wrong doing of any kind.

Not to be defeated, Starr pressed on. Thus, we were "graced" with the stain heard round-the-world. Again, not even that stain could raise Bubba to the thresh-hold of any criminal prosecution or the failed, laughable attempt to impeach.

Funny how Rethugs wanted witnesses for a stain on a woman's dress but not for an orange felon who aided and abetted with Putin to interfere with our democracy.
...........................

My point
If Janet Reno can appoint an SP for Whitewater which led to investigating Bubba's stain on Monica's dress...

Imagine the army of special prosecutors that will have to be appointed to investigate the orange felon and his numerous crimes against our nation and against our democracy, by the next Attorney General.

Trump is the most corrupt elected(illegitimate) official in the history of human democracy. Nixon pales in comparison.

Again, if Janet Reno appointed an SP to investigate a fucking c*m stain, then the next AG must appoint an army of prosecutors to investigate the attempted overthrowing of our fucking right to vote. And the numerous other felonies committed by Don the con and his family.

Simply put, this must happen or just toss out rule of law, fuck it.

Are we rule of law or not?

I vote for rule of law.
