  7. _NOTE! This is a broadside not a sweet “Tweet”. But hey, this is not Twitter. If it’s too much for you to handle, move on. But If you are deeply appalled by what’s happening in this Country, read on._

    👉 *VOTE! BECAUSE WE STILL CAN!* 👈
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    (A Broadside)

    *WE HONOR AND CHERISH* the memory, the courage, and the spirit of those Americans who suffered and fought and died whether willingly or unwillingly in the name of our Nation: on the battlefields, on the cotton fields, on the Great Plains and the River Valleys, and those Americans who are today being assaulted, beaten, shot and murdered by unrepentant and undeniably racist police forces befitting a fascist regime, and those Americans who daily fill our hospitals fighting a novel virus, contagious and deadly. But if we wish to make this claim of honor true, first we must honor Truth itself; for, Truth is the only thing that cannot be overcome. *AND TRUTH IS NOW TELLING US WHAT MUST BE DONE!*

    *REGRETFULLY, IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE AND SOUND REFLECTION upon*

    👉His fluency of falsehoods,
    👉His fear of criticism and responsibility,
    👉His insistence on taking credit where credit is not due,
    👉His deficit of emotion-regulation resulting in juvenile displays, personal attacks and insults unbecoming an adult,
    👉His incumbency and his bid for reelection being void of any plan, agenda, mandate, message, or ideas,
    👉His inability to maintain discretion on social media, _and_
    👉His increasingly odious and unstatesmanlike behavior that indicates a pathologically unstable personality such that *President Donald Trump has clearly forfeited the trust and the confidence of those government institutions in his charge that possess knowledge, sensitive and secret, on matters affecting national security that they cannot in good confidence share with him — their President and Commander-in-Chief!*

    *THIS SITUATION* is untenable, unworkable, and gives rise to threats both domestic and foreign to the United States. *WE CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF BEING AFRAID* Our moment, described as an “Inflection Point”, has come calling and in this election year of 2020, we have something to do — Let this be *OUR* remedy!

    *OUR NATION* imperfect, ever learning and self-correcting, possesses the keys to enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Nevertheless there comes, from time to time, challenges to this ideal that require remediation. In these times we shall insist that our citizenship be recognized and counted, uncontested!

    *AMERICA WILL NOT BE DISGRACED ANY LONGER!*

    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been derelict in his duties,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has undermined The Constitution of the United States,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has committed acts of human cruelty at our Nation’s southern border – potentially to include crimes against humanity,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been legally impeached,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been found and confirmed as having lied to the American people about the true nature of the seriousness of COVID-19,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has not achieved any tangible act toward the betterment of the Nation,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has withheld information he is required by law to produce,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has verbally insulted our Servicemen and Servicewomen in our Nation’s military – calling them “suckers”,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been curiously evasive amid investigations persuant to the nature of his relationship with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has openly encouraged extreme street violence at the level of complicity.
    👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has perverted the utility of America’s federal defense and peace-keeping forces by turning them against America herself!

    _This list of offenses, while not exhaustive, provides more than enough cause to pursue criminal charges!_

    *ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CLEAR, IS OBVIOUS, AND IS TRUE! AS WELL, IT IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE BY ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, BY THE FBI, BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, et al; AND BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION!*

    _FOR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED! ON THE CONTRARY, HE IS A MENACE TO THE PEACE!_

    *THEREFORE:*
    _IN ORDER TO RENDER THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN TERRIBLE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE,_

    *WE SHALL* lawfully heed any required safety measures due to COVID-19 without protest or complaint to include wearing face coverings, gloves, and practicing social distancing.

    *AND IN RETURN*
    *WE SHALL NOT TOLERATE* any barriers, threats, obstructions, hindrances or intrigues of any kind by any party whether from inside the United States or abroad by design or effect that suppresses, deters, delays, denies, manipulates, interrupts, or otherwise alters *OUR CIVIL RIGHT AND OUR CIVIC DUTY TO CAST OUR VOTE, INVIOLATE, AS IT IS GUARANTEED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND — ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY — TO REMOVE AND REPLACE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, AND TO RESTORE THE PEACE!*

    — _Publius_

    *Addendum (i): September 11, 2020*
    _Once again, like last time, Russia has been found to be meddling in our election process in effort to boost Trump. Whether they are doing this on behalf of Trump’s campaign or acting independently doesn’t change the fact that a foreign country is trying to manipulate our election process to suit their own purposes._

  9. Imagine if a Fire Chief in California knew that one of those wild fires was headed straight for a neighborhood, and he intentionally didn’t warn the residents of that neighborhood, that their lives and homes were in danger. This is essentially what Trump has done with the coronavirus.

    2. Max Larkin Happening under his watch as a leader… so yeah, the buck stops with him. Other presidents have always taken responsibility. Even Nixon knew he had failed as an accountable leader.

    4. Just Sprite why it happened is not as important as how dangerous it has become due to the oppressive heat California has experienced this year. Oregon and Washington are now burning as well. Just sayin

    5. @Sharon Green I know the impact is greater than the cause but just want to clear the misunderstanding and lack of situation knowledge.
