Trump recycles birther lie, threatens rule of law in latest presidential campaign

Editor:

First, we had the birther lies about Obama and now it’s Nikki Haley is foreign and can’t be elected either. Trump lies all the time, but this is the first time I can remember that he’s recycled a lie.

Chumps, losers, criminals, bigots, bullies, racists, are flocking together. Generally, I could care less personally about the fools – people are people – but the really bad one’s can vote. And the one thing we know for sure is that Trump has not taken back his promise that in his second term he would: pardon himself, get retribution, and will not stand with our allies.

I look closely at Fox and they didn’t bother to report that Trump’s attorney admitted Tuesday to the DC District Court in his next term President Trump position is that he could order “Seal Team 6 to kill his political rivals.” It’s sickening and Trump and that cult’s members say things about the law which in any other era, or in an ordinary criminal matter, would be rejected as  nonsense. When it comes to him they are accepted to perpetuate the lie.

So many generations of wonderful men and women of all political stripes have come together for democracy and the Rule of Law. Now we have no choice but to add MAGA to the list of criminals, racists, and Nazis who have no rightful place among us.

I wonder if even history will be able to figure out if the bubble of outrageous lies reached out and swallowed unwitting people or if people in MAGA were already warped and ready to destroy their country and its place in the world given the opportunity.

What I do know is that the Rule of Law is not about hurting people. That stalking and harming people is wrong. That murdering political rivals is never right.

The rules of law are there to prevent unfair destruction of individuals and property; and the norms of relations with our allies are there to prevent war. Those are the truths that always have, and always will, protect us.

The MAGA cult continually demonstrates it has become the new evil in the world. A person  either can stand up for what is kind, right, and time honored or can live in and leave this world in their own special hells bearing MAGA’s stain.
