There is absolutely no reason that
trump should ride into the sunset without looking over his shoulder.
And when he does, he should see a horde of elected officials,
prosecutors and attorneys climbing all over him. It’s time to
prosecute trump - by all means necessary.
The
election of trump in 2016, following the administration of Barack
Obama, was a signal for a dangerous and dark period ahead for the
country. The trump administration brought in a wrecking ball,
smashing anything that got in his autocratic way. For many white
folks, this was just fine because grump promised to make their
America truly great again.
The
velocity of lies coming from this so-called world leader was jarring.
These were frontal assaults on the truth when the facts were clear
and established. Whether it was stating that Obama was not a U.S.
citizen or that the election was stolen, the rapidity and ease of
lying was nothing short of psychopathy.
The
sad and dangerous part about this is that his faithful followers
believed every single syllable. And still do. When trump minimized
the threat of the COVID-19 and did not respond accordingly, he was
directly responsible for the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands
of Americans. This is not just my opinion but the opinion of many
epidemiologists and other medical scientists. I just took it a step
further and called for the president to be criminally charged with
conspiracy to murder.
Beyond
the calculated 30,573 bold-faced lies, there were very few days when
trump didn’t flaunt his moral bankruptcy and corrupt politics
in our faces. The first impeachment did little to slow his insatiable
appetite for attention and power.
The
trump family used the presidency to brazenly advance their business
dealings. There were countless conflicts of interests from forcing
people to use his hotels and resorts to pay-to-play schemes. The
slimy corporations lined trump’s pockets so they could line up
at the public trough. The trumps and the kushners must be held
accountable for all of their unscrupulous businesses dealings.
Appropriate taxes must be paid. Voters, the court systems and the
financial institutions must make that house of trump fall - and fall
hard.
Every
tool at our disposal must be used to make an example out of this
administration so that others who have any ideas about a repeat
performance will be more fearful of the consequences than of the
fleeting benefits of their actions. It is critical that trump’s
legacy of destruction be fully documented and condemned. The fact
that he’s going down in history as the only president to be
impeached twice was our duty as defenders of democracy.
This
narcissistic man leaves a trail of shameless destruction that will
take years and billions of dollars to repair. His immunity as a
sitting president should no longer afford him protection from his
lawlessness. Every criminal, civil and constitutional book should be
thrown at him now.
This
country will never heal from the wounds trump has inflicted on this
country until he is held fully accountable for every single
abomination. He must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of law for
every law that’s broken. Let’s get that jail cell ready.
