Trump is a domestic enemy. Treat him like one.

(found on RawStory) Opinion, Quentin Young, Colorado Newsline June 17, 2022
(snip) “It was domestic enemies of the Constitution who stormed the Capitol and occupied the Capitol who sought to thwart the will of the people to stop the transfer of power,” he said. Later he said, “Ultimately, Donald Trump — the president of the United States — spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down the Capitol and subvert American democracy … January 6th was the culmination of an attempted coup. … Violence was no accident. It represented Trump’s last stand, most desperate chance to halt the transfer of power.”

Thompson’s use of the phrase “domestic enemies” was deliberate. He noted the Civil War-era adoption of language regarding “all enemies — foreign and domestic” in the federal oath to account for the South’s rebellion.

In other words, the crimes committed by Trump and his co-conspirators are categorically akin to war-waging against the United States.

Conservative values are cancers destroying freedom and democracy. Trump loves his stupid people. Some of whom are on the Supreme Court.

A sickness. Why do Leo and crow need more of anything?

That boy showed promise, and came closer than anyone else has to saving our country.


I do regret that any of his bullets ended the life of anyone who was not his primary target.

And I noticed that there are FOUR “No Kings” rallies in my area on Saturday, June 14th. The rallies are set for four different areas within the district where we live.

No Kings! That’s NOT how we do things in America. Face it, donald. I don’t care if you don’t like it. Tough shit.

He has a lot of co-conspirators who also must be identified, arrested and prosecuted.
