My Dear America:
What we are about to see today in America is an embarrassing portrait of the depths of despair that our country has sunk to under Donald Trump. While Men, Women and Children are being held in cages and under inhuman conditions on the American Southern Border, Donald Trump will be leading a senseless parade of war weapons in Washington D.C. and giving himself an opportunity to give a self aggrandizing speech.
Desperate Immigrants who have long heard the formerly true tales of a Good Life in America have traveled from the vilest of circumstances in their own South American Countries to a place that they had hoped would turn out to be their Promised Land.
Unfortunately, what these desperate travelers have found is no longer the Promised Land that the United States used to be. The weary South Americans fleeing Monsters in their own countries have found on the Southern Border of the United States that the Promised Land is now a land of little or no promise. The U.S. is now one more Monster Driven Country with nearly every American Government Institution led by Gutless, Morally Bankrupt Individuals who Donald Trump has found by dragging the American Swamp and who seemingly have no consciences and no boundries that they are unwilling to cross.
We are truly living in astonishingly difficult times. As a person who worked with children for nearly 40 years I find it difficult to even look on Television at what we Americans are doing with immigrant children, as well as adults. I am 76 years old and in my recollection I can't recall any president, including Richard Nixon, who treated Immigrants in such a horrible manner as Donald Trump has.
Am I the only one who sees what is going on at the Southern Border as something akin to what the Nazis did to the Jews, the Gypsies and the Handicapped during the Second World War. How many children and adults have to die at the border before the rest of us do something about the Monster living in the White House.
There are some positives that we can look to for hope in our future.
We do have a Democratically elected and run House of Representatives who are trying to do their jobs and investigate the President under very difficult, if not impossible, circumstances. In my opinion we should salute Congressman Jason Amash, who has chosen to leave the Republican Party rather than support a Monster in the White House. Good for You, Jason. Unfortunately, however, Jason Amash seems to be the only Republican with the guts to push back on Donald Trump's increasingly dictatorial behavior.
We do have some very fine people who are running for President on the Democratic Party ticket. I don't know if our country will be salvageable if we have to wait till 2020 to get rid of Donald Trump. And if Trump is defeated in 2020 will he be willing to voluntarily leave the White House. That is another question that we don't know the answer to.
We do have the prospect of upcoming testimony by Robert Mueller. But will Mueller's testimony change anything. Trump has literally gotten away with countless crimes so far and he is still in charge. He has packed the Supreme Court with Republican Cronies who may continue to save him from legitimate prosecution.
Certainly Impeachment proceedings should be going on soon and Republican Senators need to be voted out of office as soon as possible.
We can't continue to have a Madman with his finger on the Nuclear trigger and his foot on the throats of desperate immigrants.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
