Trump was acquitted at his impeachment trial by 52 Republicans in name only last Wednesday. The ‘Don’ of the Washington Mafia bought his continued presidency. He owns the souls of the 52 men and women who broke their oaths to ‘preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ In exchange he has promised to support their reelection efforts in November.

The exchange proved one fact; 52 men are ignorant and pay no attention to history. As long as you kiss Trump’s humongous derriere, he will sing your praises. Disagree even slightly and he will call you names and claim that he ‘never liked you,’ he didn’t ‘know you very well,’ and that you were ‘incompetent.’

“Donald Trump is not chastened. He’s triumphant,” observed David Axelrod. “He got caught red-handed and beat the rap, backed up by the base he long ago predicted would stick with him even if he committed a homicide on Fifth Avenue.”

The truth is that if his crimes don’t follow him to election day, his need to seek revenge will.

The facts are clear; his anger is based on a single truth. Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and the others performed the job for which they were elected. They took their oaths seriously and remain loyal to their country; to the American people.

The day before Republicans helped Trump retain his illegitimate presidency, the schoolyard bully exercised his right to spit on the Constitution and lie to the American people for 78 long, long minutes.

The ‘State of the Union’ began with Trump bragging about achievements which are not his. Then the attacks and lies began in earnest. He exacerbated his fallacious and racist attacks against all Hispanics and praised the men he purchased to accomplish his fascist agenda; primarily Moscow Mitch McConnell.

His ‘coupe de gras’ was an intentional slap in the face to real Americans and the rule of law. Trump and his trophy wife awarded right-wing extremist Rush Limbaugh with the ‘Medal of Freedom.’

Limbaugh spent 31 years intentionally dividing the American people by spreading lies and half-truths. He never sacrificed anything for his country; he attempted to destroy it. The many other men and women who deserved their awards must have been greatly disappointed that Trump cheapened their accomplishments with a single act.

His overall theme was dark and fearful. The 44 men who preceded the orange child used this annual speech as an opportunity to inspire and offer hope for America’s future. Trump continued to spread anger and hatred throughout his egomaniacal rant.

However, Trump faced a major defeat the following day. No, he was not convicted for the crimes he committed; Moscow Mitch and his minions saved his sorry ass. However, one Republican dared to break ranks with his hypocritical and cowardly party. One man remained loyal to his country, his oath to the American people, and his God, and voted to convict the man-child who had already been impeached in the House. His post-trial statement offered his reasons for doing the right thing and they were eloquent and based on fact.

The word from the White House is Trump was livid and threw another tantrum. Unable to defend himself, Trump offered a single childish and ludicrous comment. He claimed that Mitt Romney was jealous that he could not defeat President Obama in 2012, and he is now illegitimately defiling the White House. Of course, Senator Romney did not receive assistance from Russia or the mainstream television media.

Whoever wins the Democratic nomination must inform all Americans about Trump’s personal and public crimes and sexual perversions. His life is a tale of failure and illusion. He is a mentally incompetent, egomaniacal narcissist.

Now it’s up to you. Your vote is a powerful weapon and can defeat the Trump Party; the Washington Mafia. Election day is November 3^rd, and it will be here sooner than you think.
