The wealthy, the intolerant, and the gullible people in this country have spoken. Instead of voting for an honorable and perfectly capable woman, they enshrined in U.S. history that a person guilty of multiple felonies, who instigated an insurrection, who used illegal means to try to change the outcome of a valid election, who stole secret government documents, who seriously discussed using the military against political enemies, and who sexually assaults women may be elected president.
Now he is truly “above the law” because the many crimes he committed do not matter and he is free to accomplish his goals, including doing away with Social Security, the Affordable Care Act, and dismantling several agencies such as the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency.
We can all sleep well knowing the person elected to run a free country doesn’t believe in freedom, justice or truth. Now in charge of our efforts to slow the warming of the planet is a man who doesn’t believe in global warming or science. Well done, people!
Internationally, U.S. voters have handed Ukraine to Putin and made every despot in the world happy. If you were paying attention you’d know that Russia attacked Ukraine simply because Putin wanted it under Russian control. One of your fellow voters said on camera that he’d rather have Putin as president than Biden. Really? With Putin there is no freedom and, guess what, no guns. And if you don’t like socialism you’ll probably really hate communism.
No matter. The environmental deterioration of the planet will probably kill you before Putin’s communism does!
