In Honor Of Veterans Day

 Wednesday, November 11th, 2020


My Dear America:

Today was Veterans Day.  To honor Veterans (who Donald Trump has identified as Suckers and Losers because "What do they get out of it" ) Donald Trump fired the United States Secretary Of Defense, Mark Esper this past Monday.  Esper was not the best Defense Secretary that the country ever had but he wasn't the worst either.  From what I can gather Esper was pretty much of a "Yes" man to President Trump up to and including the incident in which protesters were driven out of Lafayette Park across from the White House so that Donald Trump could walk, along with Mark Esper, Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley, Attorney General Barr and others, over to St. Johns Church so that Trump could hold a bible upside down and could get his picture taken. 

Later on, when Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley realized just how Trump had manipulated and used him to denigrate protesters and appear to legitimize Trump's disgraceful stunt, Milley apologized for his role in the shameful spectacle.  

Mark Esper also apparently saw the error of his ways in the upside down bible picture situation and following this incident Trump apparently gave Esper instructions to give marching orders to U.S. Troops to confront Black Lives Matters Protesters in the streets of American Cities and when that happened the "Yes" man said "No".

Good for Him.

But now on Veterans Day 2020 Former General Mark Esper is out of a job and so are several other Pentagon Leaders and White House toadies are taking their place.

What is Lame Duck President Donald Trump up to in firing all of these Pentagon leaders shortly after an election which he falsely claims he has won.  Trump refuses to allow the apparent legitimate President Elect, Joe Biden to receive the consideration, cooperation and the guidance that Donald Trump received from Barack Obama and his Administration following Trump's questionable victory in the 2016 Election.

Is Donald Trump firing Pentagon leaders so that he can control sending Pentagon controlled Armed Forces into the cities of America to wreak havoc on Black Lives Matters Protestors.

Or is he getting control of his Armed Forces so that he can claim that he has won the Presidential Election and stay in power past January 20th, 2021 using the Armed Forces to back up his claim to the Throne, Excuse me, The White House. 

Where have we seen this kind of Authoritarian behavior before?  Why in Iron Curtain and other Dictatorships around the world.  We thought that this kind of behavior would never happen here.  Well, we were wrong and it is time that Republicans in Congress wake up and smell the Treason before it is too late for all of us.  

And as this sick and disgusting delegitimization of the Democratic Election Process takes place how and why do the Republican Congressional Legislators allow Donald Trump to go on this post election rampage when they are all fully aware of the danger to Democracy that Donald Trump presents.

Clearly all that Republicans on Capitol Hill care about (with a few exceptions) are the votes that Donald Trump seems to control.

But if they don't do something now, or very soon, we will be kissing our Democracy goodbye.  

I don't think that any of us are prepared for that eventuality.
