I believed everything I was told when I was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. A lot of it was true, but a lot of it was an illusion with no basis in reality.  

Raised primarily by my grandparents, I was taught to respect my elders and everyone in a position of power. I must tell you the truth: in the 21^st century I find very few people deserve my respect or trust. And age has no relevance to character, or principles.

THE MOST CORRUPT GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD

My interest in politics began at the age of 10. I soon learned why my grandfather, and my uncles talked about our nation’s leaders during family gatherings and why most of it was negative.

Professional politician is a term synonymous with “professional liar.” Over the last four decades, I found it extremely rare to offer my trust and respect to any member our executive, legislative, or judicial branches.

The judicial branch, the Supreme Court, is responsible for the coming extinction of the United States of America. When six of the least qualified and politically biased justices in history granted Trump absolute immunity, along with this unconstitutional act came the end of a nation founded on the rule of law.

Equal protection under the law no longer exists in America. If you are a member of the masses, and not super-rich or in a position of power, if you commit even the smallest of crimes, you will be punished to the full extent of the law. However, the small percentage of our nation’s people I previously mentioned would receive nothing more than a slap on the wrist or less.

Trump has committed thousands of crimes, including dozens of constitutional violations and now war crimes. On January 6, 2021, after committing treason, he was allowed to remain in the White House.

HOW AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT BROKE AN ENTIRE NATION

There is no doubt that our government bent the rule of law many times over the last 249 years to protect itself from public scrutiny. Without question, far too many of our elected officials were incompetent, and/or white-collar criminals.

SOME FAILURES BY OUR PRESIDENTS IN MY LIFETIME

In the years prior to my birth, Harry Truman ignored the teachings of Jesus Christ and slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans praised him for his crimes against humanity.

Lyndon Johnson sent thousands of our finest young men and women to die in Vietnam without a single, viable justification. He withdrew from the 1968 election fully aware of his failure to do the right thing would cost him an election.

Although Richard Nixon was the most accomplished Republican president in modern history, his desperate need to remain in power forced him to commit an unforgivable crime. He was allowed to resign and never punished for his crimes.

Ronald Reagan was a better actor than I believed. He fooled me, and millions of other Americans. However, when he took office in 1981, he revealed himself immediately.

Reagan declared war on the working class, reduced women to third-class citizens, and placed Christianity above all other religions. His fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics” ignored the majority of our nation’s people and allowed the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. His greatest scandal, known as the “Iran Contra affair,’ exposed his illegal sale of munitions to Iran in exchange for the release of American hostages. He left office unscathed in 1989.

The second worst president in American history, George W. Bush, lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and placed our nation in a deadly and costly unwinnable war. He clearly committed war crimes and should have been punished. His failed economic policy, similar to Reagan’s, allowed Wall Street to commit unspeakable white-collar crimes. No one was ever punished for causing the Great Recession. He, too, remains a free man.

The worst came last.

TRUMP’S NEVER-ENDING CRIMES ARE IMMEASURABLE, AND THE REASON AMERICA IS SPIRALING TOWARDS EXTINCTION

Over the last 10 years Donald Trump’s incomparable incompetence nearly placed our nation in a second Great Depression. Healthcare experts claim that Trump’s failure to take timely action when he first learned about the probability of a major health crisis coming to America in December of 2019, make him responsible for at least 100,00t0 of the one million lives lost from Covid-19.

Trump’s hundreds of Constitutional violations are surpassed by crimes of Treason, violating the Espionage Act, and many, many acts of sexual assault which likely include pedophilia.

With his unilateral decision to wage a war on Iran, he added war crimes to his long list of crimes against humanity. His belief and support of fascism are unforgivable. All of these crimes were supported by lies and conspiracy theories. He continues to remain above the law and will never be fairly punished for his life of crime and debauchery.

TRUMP AND HIS NAZI PARTY HAVE IGNORED THE RULE OF LAW FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS

Campaign promises which were only lies, conspiring with Putin to win two elections, violating the First, Fourth, Fifth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendments, War Crimes, and the murders of many Americans when he failed to lead the fight against a deadly coronavirus, are a short list of Trump crimes over the last 79 years.

The orange buffoon has never respected the law. Nothing matters to this old, obese criminal other than his own pleasure and soothing his fragile ego controlled by a mental disorder known as malignant narcissism.

For me, Trump is proof that there is no God.
