Donald Trump and maga Republicans will say and do anything to divert media attention - now incoherently harping about mail in voting ballots

Echo opinion letter published in LancasterOnLine:

Trump failed in the Alaska meeting with Putin, nothing happened.  he should be fired! No "peace on day one!"

So, his diversion❓  Pick another subject, like "mail in voting ballots".

Trump is wrong about mail-in ballots being fraudulent 

Donald Trump’s recent wrong minded (as usual❗) contention that mail-in ballots are fraudulent strikes me as ... fraudulent.

With no scientific study, as usual, he’s trying to establish that his claim is truth simply because he says it’s true.

I, like my wife and millions of other voters of all ages, have gladly embraced mail-in voting because it is more convenient. It is that simple.

There’s also a contention that Trump came to his unproven conclusion about mail-in voting after his Alaska meeting with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, another beneficiary of unproven claims about his nation’s institutions. (“Many people say that,” as Trump so often adds.)

Please maintain our collective right to use the United States Postal Service to vote.

Donald Trump and maga Republicans threaten American democracy by enabling Trumpzi-ism

Echo opinion letter publsihed in LancasterOnLine, in Pennsylvania:

We must speak out against Trump’s authoritarian rule in the US

“Retaliation, retribution and revenge” is a ridiculous way to run a business, let alone a country.

I’m still trying to grasp the concept of setting tariffs based on the whims of our would-be dictator. Brazil now faces an outrageous tariff, seemingly because Donald J. Trump doesn’t like the fact that Jair Bolsonaro is being prosecuted for trying to overthrow an election he lost.

Hmm.😟😒😕 Sound familiar, regarding the 2020, election here in the United States❓

Why aren’t more of our voices in Congress speaking out against the tariffs, which are nothing more than a tax increase on the hardworking people of this country? I hear crickets. Extortion is Trump’s answer.

Some law firms and legal professionals have been targeted because Trump wants to punish firms that had a role in investigating or bringing lawsuits against him. Extortion is Trump’s answer.

Colleges, universities and student groups have been targeted because Trump essentially claimed they were antisemitic and not sufficiently pro-Israel. Extortion is Trump’s answer.

Media outlets and journalists have been targeted because Trump deemed them to be critical of his administration. ABC, CBS, PBS and NPR have all been targeted in various ways.

Will Trump soon come after ordinary citizens for letters to the editor that he doesn’t like? Will he have his loyal MAGA followers take photos of our protest activities and report to him so that we can be sent off to Alligator Alcatraz❓

I don’t like living under authoritarian rule, and I will not be quiet.

Donald Trump and maga Reublicans are watching America become a dictatorship: Evil incompetent political leadership

Echo opinion letter published in the LancasterOnLine in Pennsylvania:  

Trump and his cronies have done a masterful job of essentially implementing a dictator Trump  — even more efficiently than Adolf Hitler❗

Trumpziism is Hitlerism

Nevertheless, there still seems to be a reluctance on the part of many people to recognize that, in my view, Trump is no longer the president. 

Rather, Trump is a full-fledged dictator and we are living in a Hitler-style dictatorship that his only going to become harsher❗


Some people talk about the next elections. I doubt the results will matter, and I doubt there will be another presidential election.💥💢😒

After all, Trump himself told his supporters they won’t need to worry about voting again.

Wake up, people. Many of those who voted for Trump have been had and, unfortunately, so have we all!

What can be done❓ Someone❓ Anyone❓
