The Cuban Coast Guard’s shooting of a Florida registered speedboat raises the question of whether U.S. unprovoked murders of mariners in international waters have put a target on Americans.
This country elected a president who provoked an insurrection in 2020 in order to cling to power. This president’s association with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is well known and extensively documented. He also continues to promote the fiction that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.
He lies constantly and plays the martyr. This is a wealthy man who consistently cheated contractors and others who did work for him in New York. His companies have filed for bankruptcy six times. He is litigious to the point of absurdity. He is even suing the IRS, in effect suing the American taxpayer, for $10 billion.
Recently, President Trump’s personal lawyer turned over emails to the Justice Department to demonstrate his client lied to him about willfully keeping classified documents. I could go on, but I am nauseated.
As the saying goes: “Old sins cast long shadows.” In light of the worsening economy, unprovoked shootings of Americans by ICE, shuttered small businesses and other problems too numerous to name, it appears that our country is living in the shadow of this man’s sins. And yet 38% of Americans still approve of this felon. Stupid is as stupid does.
