It never ends

Just when I think we're finally free and clear of disgraced and twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, we're not.

Silly me.

On Saturday, in yet another un-American moment, Trump called for the termination of the United States Constitution. (See here)

You know, the document that gives us the Fourth of July. The document that begins with "We the People..." The document that gives us free elections, free speech, freedom of religion. That document.

You all in for that?

He wants to shred the Constitution because, despite the lack of any evidence whatsoever, he claims the 2020 elections that put Joe Biden in office were false and fraudulent. But if we terminate the Constitution, he says, we have the choice to either install him as the rightful president, or hold new elections.

Trump wrote, "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great Founders did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

This, of course, is American blasphemy. And he's an American absurdity.

I keep replaying an old black-and-white newsreel footage in the back of my mind where I see soldiers landing on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. One or two of them fall to the ground. It's almost shocking to see. Those honored fallen took an oath and gave their lives for the document Trump wants to trash. Those honored fallen have done so for nearly 250 years.

How dare he. It makes me ill to think about it. And yet, there are many who still stand in silent approval of Trump. Most are Republicans. I don't understand. Isn't there a bad taste in their mouths, too?

All of this comes just days after he hosted a Mar-a-Lago dinner with anti-Semite Kanye West (who has now abbreviated his name to Ye. Well, hey, just call me Bru. Or Ce.) and ultra-disgusting white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

And this coming just weeks after Trump announced his candidacy for a second term as president. I guess he's running on the un-American platform. I guess we know the target of his appeal.

All this follows a lengthy pattern of un-Americanism, including applauding the insurrectionists of Jan. 6 and separating infant children from their parents as his administration's declared immigration policy, along with plans for a friggin' wall at the border.

I love how some Trumpists claim that Biden has done nothing but lead us through a poop show that last two years, but the truth is, nothing Biden has done comes anywhere near the national embarrassment of Trump's Republican Party.

I'm hoping the recent midterm elections were a barometer of the nation's state of sensibility. The projected red tsunami turned out to be a red trickle, giving us a split Congress instead of a red sweep.

I'm hoping Tuesday's Senatorial runoff in Georgia between unqualified Republican Herschel Walker and incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock is a resounding Warnock victory.

I'm hoping the Constitution is stronger than any tinpot despot, in just the way the Founders intended.
