Donald Trump and maga Republicans lack honor and cannot be trusted - Impeach Trump Now Senator Susan Collins alert!

Echo opinion letters published in the Los Angeles Times:
To the editor: (“Trump isn’t interested in being honorable — he’d rather be feared,” January 13).
Echo Los Angeles Times opinion letter

Jeffrey Goldberg's writings, particularly in The Atlantic, often criticize Donald Trump for lacking honor, focusing on ethical lapses, questionable actions, and disrespect for democratic norms, notably highlighted by his reporting on officials mishandling sensitive military info in a Signal group chat, which revealed a concerning disregard for security and accountability, despite intense pushback from Trump and his allies

Goldberg writes eloquently about the near-total absence of honor in the Trump administration’s actions, particularly in the area of foreign relations. Donald Trump’s designs on Greenland as well as his threats to the governments of Cuba, Colombia and other Latin American countries are totally lacking in honor. This is a sad time for the United States.

I am reminded of the motto of Hollywood High School (class of ‘59): “Seek honor through service.” This is a maxim that I have carried throughout my life. I think that it is certainly one to which Goldberg would subscribe.
It is definitely not one to which the current evil Donald Trump administration will support.

From Richard Seligman, in Simi Valley

Echo To the editor: I began crying this morning when I read Jeffrey Goldberg’s most recent column. Goldberg’s point is that Trump associates power with respect, but that type of respect has dirty underpinnings. It is about crushing the lives of others, all for your own material advancement. How is Trump any different from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has attacked Ukraine for years now Seemingly nothing will stop either leader.

So why did I cry
The idea of attacking Greenland hits at the debasement of human value and at the loss of regard for the sovereignty of other nations. People become bugs to be swept away. The drive for access to money sources blinds all. I feel shame. 

I feel pain for those who are losing their ability to live their lives with true respect.

We have curdled our humanity and corrupted our morality. That makes me weep.
😰 (Senator Susan Collins alert❗- Where is she❓*)
