To the editor:
It’s bad enough – outrageous, in fact – that the president has no respect for the constitution and no knowledge of the law. It’s bad enough that he lies, doctor, tweets impulsively out of that lack of respect and knowledge. If it’s possible to imagine anything more outrageous, he has brought the unimaginable to reality in the latest weeks.
Over a year ago, Carl Bernstein, the famous and acutely discerning journalist, pointed out that our premise is a mobster, his loyalty only to family, his insistence on lay to himself rather than to the Constitution, to the law, to the county), his vindictiveness and banishment of all who disagree with him, his naked fear and insecurity regular on display in hi reckless responses to any criticism, his local admiration of tyrannical leader, who can bum off with impurity annoy who gets in their way – all are stand manifestations of mobsters attitude and behavior.
Several years ago, he gave us a whiff of the kinds of fantasies he harbors by this murderous claim: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and lose no votes.” The spewing of such fantasies has intensified alarmingly during recent weeks. He levels a death threat against the whistleblower. He recommends alligators and snakes in a moat, electrified fences, and scorching spikes as a mean to rid the southern border of migrants, he has threatened civil war, a blood bath must to be feared in any nation if he is not re-elected.
Political corruption à la Richard Nixon disgrace our government. Murderous fantasies and threats are beyond disgraceful: they imperil the strength., standing, and spirit of our country.
