“The Secret Service is investigating one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters, a New Hampshire state representative who said this week that Hillary Clinton should be shot for treason.”
This was reported today by the Washington Post.
Am I the only one who is aware that when attacks are made against the righteous, the attacker himself is guilty of his or her allegations? Al Baldasaro, a Trump supporter, is either brain dead or in complete denial of all of the facts, and federal law regarding threats to a presidential candidate. Either way, he is a moron without question.
Donald Trump could fairly be labeled a traitor because he fails to support the Constitution of the United States. His rhetoric, which calls for the denial of human rights by hundreds of millions of Americans, is pure treason in its true form.
Baldasaro, a Republican from Londonderry, N.H., is a former Marine who calls himself Trump’s “veteran advisor.”
We are all aware from Trump’s rallies that he advocates violence against his detractors. Hillary Clinton has labeled Trump for what he is; a charlatan and a danger to the future of our nation and the world. He has encouraged individuals such as Baldasaro to act on his behalf to take physical action against anyone who opposes him.
Trump’s temperament is fragile. His lack of intellect allows emotions to dominate his actions. This is a man who wants to be the leader of the free world, and have the nuclear trigger at his disposal. He is a racist who denies that African Americans are treated in a more lethal manner than whites and supports all law enforcement, regardless of their prejudices.
On Wednesday evening, Clinton’s campaign was already using Baldasaro’s remarks to raise money, telling supporters in an email, “One of Trump’s advisors just said ‘Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.’ We. Are. Better. Than. This. If you agree, chip in $1…”
This is reality in 2016. The American people, by their support of Trump, have proven that our nation is becoming one of the worst in the world. Fear, hatred, and prejudice are growing far more quickly than intelligence, tolerance and compassion did in the 60’s and 70’s. Our nation is devolving and is diametrically opposed to the dreams and principles of our founding fathers.
In Dallas, a disrespected and former member of the Army killed five officers. A former Marine slaughtered three police officers in Baton Rouge. Baldasaro is a former Marine, and forces me to ask the question; how are they trained. What values are instilled in the young men under the control of non-commissioned and commissioned officers?
I lived near Camp Pendleton for nearly 10 years. My encounters with Marines were unpleasant. They displayed a tendency for violence without concern for others.
Now, before you call me a hater of our military, listen to the truth. I was in the military, and brainwashing is part of the training. I am merely asking what is taught by those who train young and impressionable minds in our military institutions?
Republicans would never question these facts. You may not like my truths, but that does not make them false. Hatred is a disease, and it is destroying my America, and I’m f**king tired of it.
