On January 6, 2021, a mob of people tried to overthrow the government by storming the capital, but a lesser charge was given, such as trying to overturn an election.
Singing to the tune of this treasonous act was a man with the title of “Commander In Chief.” One would think that this person would have quelled the situation by acting responsibly and appropriately to defend the Constitution. 

To the contrary, our Commander In Chief took a front row seat while appearing to enjoy watching the violence as the vicious mob wreaked havoc on the White House. And let us not forget that the vicious gathering was seeking out the vice president to hang him. Instead of having the vice president’s back, the Commander In Chief sat on his backside and did nothing. 

We should thank God for protecting the person of Mike Pence! A mockery of Democracy was taking place while the rest of the world was laughing at us as if we were a comedy show. How crazy is this? But what’s even more crazy is that the former Commander In Chief has been convicted of crimes that are labeled felonious, and in spite of this, he has the audacity to run for the oval office again with the support of many who are supposedly rational thinking people. 

Never mind that he disrespects veterans; never mind that he’s racist; never mind that he uses his salacious ego to rape and touch women on their private parts; never mind that he fattens his wallet while cheating workers; never mind that he is not remorseful or apologetic; the man is a “bonafide crook”!

I believe the whole world is laughing at us in these supposedly United States of America! We have a convicted felon of multiple counts running for office of President. 

Wake me up because I believe I’m dreaming. I’m dreaming that some of the  the people of whom I’ve lived amongst for over 65 years, share the same mind-set of him who’s trying to make a mockery of Democracy? If he and his followers get their way, “Hurricane Helene” would look like a picnic compared to what will happen as a result of his presidency. 

This man’s own family member warns us that he would be terrible for us because of his own self interests. But just like in the day, Noah couldn’t get the people to listen, so it is today. As the warnings go unheeded. This person on topic and that he can shuffle the cards any way he wants. He thinks he is God, but God will how him and others who think like him.

People with these characteristics should never rule: 

1. Treacherous
2. Racist
3. Unhinged
4. Malicious 
5. Pompous
