Great article. And I heartily agree--the bar is incredibly low for qualifying as a presidential candidate. Born in the US, 35 years old, and fogging a mirror. Did I leave anything out? As to official acts, I'd like to see the oath of office as the yardstick. If the act in question could not reasonably be demonstrated to further fidelity to the oath, then it's a fail and prosecution would follow. If said act put the actor in the position of violating the oath, then the Vice President should assume office--either until the matter was resolved or permanently following the outcome of adjudication.
Thanks, tecolote42. Your suggestions make perfect sense to me. Seems like the bar for being President of the United States should be higher than being a 35 year old natural born US citizen. Maybe Presidential candidates should be required to pass the citizenship test given to new US citizens. I’m pretty sure the one not named Kamala could not pass it.
Absolutely, though anyone in his footsteps will also be a MAGA at this point. But, I thought of that years ago when he was put in office. Why isn't that article of law upheld? It has been treason since the beginning as the first people he met with in the Trump Tower to celebrate were the Russians, and a secret media meeting with FOXers. Egad!
NO VOTES FOR CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel your anger and every time I see the news and the lying ads, my blood pressure rises. Even my pills won't hold it back. I want this election to be over and done and it better come out right. I believe the FCC guys DT hired are still running TV movies. It is full of Hitler movies on AMC. How to become a NAZI....etc. It's horrible late at night. Can't the democrats get someone else to run the FCC? Trump hired two young men who couldn't wait to take it over when he got in office. He introduced the seedy little buggers and I knew we were in trouble. MSNBC was getting lots of program interference when he was in office....I suspect it was them. We called the cable company to see if there was something wrong...not with them, they said. Who looks at that problem? Who is watching DeJoy while he eliminates the democrat's mail-in ballots? OMG I've become a cynic. How can I not be. These guys look like they have snakes' eyes....it's all creepy and real. I feel your anger. We are no longer in a sane country.
NO VOTES FOR CRIMINALS! Let's make some hats.
Dang. I wish I had trademarked it. Thanks for commenting, Sara.

I don’t want to be angry, it’s just that there is so darn much to be angry about. Can’t just ignore it. Thanks for commenting, Kate.
Me neither. I used to be the eternal optimist. We can't let him get to us like this.
