Dictator for Life

Latest quote from the President (according to The Independent):

"The 72-year-old also discussed serving four more years after 2020 and joked about remaining in office for up to five full terms.  'We’ll go and we’ll do what we have to do. We’ll do a three and a four and a five [terms],' he said."

And to Hell with the 22nd amendment to the Constitution, which limits the President to two terms.  

What makes them think he's joking??

In Contempt of America

Do we really want a President who is not subject to Congressional oversight?  A President who is above the law?  Who can do whatever he pleases without fear of consequences?  This is what President Trump and Attorney General Barr are trying to shove down our throats.

Do we really want a leader of the Senate who ignores his Constitutional responsibilities?  The oath of office taken by every senator reads "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."  Yet Mitch McConnell has consistently put party before country and ignored his duties.  From his refusal to allow consideration of President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court to his refusal to consider legislation passed by the House and sent on to the Senate for consideration, he has displayed a total refusal to abide by the oath he took when he entered the Senate. 

These people are destroying our country.  They are encouraging a contempt for law and for the institutions of our government that may never heal.  The President is as well encouraging a contempt for a free press and for science—a contempt for truth.  I know many people understand all too well how dangerous this is.  History is full of examples of what can happen when these things become the norm.  But it is also clear that far too many people do not comprehend, or choose to ignore, what is happening. 

I'm an old man.  I am unlikely to live to see much of the chaos that will inevitably result if this continues.  But I fear for what my children and grandchildren will face . . . the death of our democracy . . . the death of our planet as we know it. 

Trump and his cronies and those Republicans who are unwilling to stand up against this continuing assault on the Constitution and on truth should not be simply judged in contempt of Congress.  They are in contempt of America itself!!   One can only hope that history delivers on them the punishment they deserve.
