Everyday Americans; real Americans; such as myself, are forced to remind millions of uninformed Americans that ours is a nation of laws, and the most important of these laws is the Constitution. Trump and his hypocritical party have declared war on the American people, democracy, and the Bill of Rights. Every once in a while, we, the people, find victories, big or small, which offer hope for our nation.

Today two stories actually reported by the mainstream media reveal the fact that most Americans are inherently good and moral.

After racist attacks on a former Trump adviser and a billionaire Democratic supporter, Roseanne Barr’s career in the entertainment industry has self-destructed. Support of her demagogue, Donald J. Trump, has exposed her as another white supremacist and a bigot.

In addition, the vile and disgusting Governor of Missouri, Eric Greitens, has resigned. This right wing deviate took pictures of his mistress, and threatened to post them on social media if she revealed the fact that he had a sometimes violent and abusive relationship with her. An investigation was conducted over a nearly six month period, and today he resigned and whined about his own criminal actions, attempting to follow Trump’s lead and blame everyone else but himself.

“This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family — millions of dollars of mounting legal bills, endless personal attacks designed to cause maximum damage to family and friends,” he said in a brief statement from his Jefferson City office, his voice breaking at times. Boo Hoo.

He is the definition of a ‘little bitch,’ crying for himself and his own sins. He’s not sorry, he’s sorry that he was caught.

Now all real Americans are waiting for all of the facts to be released and Trump to be tried for treason, and ethics violations related to his efforts to increase his foreign business interests.

We, the people, can save America. We have real leaders in America and nearly none of them work in Washington. Women and our nation’s youngest voters are demonstrating their patriotism by unending protests and promises to remove right wing extremists who are not serving the majority. Our votes are more powerful than a hydrogen bomb. Please vote in November.
