Public Comment

Recent events in Charlottesville, Lafayette Square, and Portland should be a dire warning that President Donald Trump is prepared to do whatever it takes to subvert the cause of justice and democracy and retain power, including embracing militant white supremacists and using federal troops to tear gas and arrest peaceful protesters. Much like a western movie this will be the “high noon” showdown between democracy activists, the real American heroes, and Donald Trump and his posse of ‘deplorables’. With his approval ratings declining dramatically, a visibly shaken Trump even threatened to postpone the elections. He has openly declared that he may not abide by the election results in a nationally televised interview on Fox News. Unless he loses the election by a thumping majority, Trump will ‘huff and puff’ and question the legitimacy of the election that will rely on mail-in ballots, even though he himself just requested vote-by-mail ballots. What chutzpah! 

In a further effort to ensure maximum pain on Americans, Trump has threatened to withhold funding from states that are trying to make it easier for people to vote, even undermining the U.S. Postal Service by appointing a fox Trump donor, Louis DeJoy, who issued a ‘fatwa’ to slow down delivery. Trump has openly admitted sabotaging the USPS in order to jeopardize our elections. In an interview with Fox News, Trump openly admitted that he is purposefully withholding money from the U.S. Postal Service because of its crucial role in the 2020 elections, saying "they need that money in order to make the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots." This is a new low, even for Trump and state Republicans. With their poll numbers collapsing, Trump and his team are willing to stoop to any level to cling to power-- including blatant, calculated sabotage of the U.S. Postal Service. His Republican allies around the country have been passing voter ID Laws, purging voter rolls, and cutting the number of polling places in urban areas, forcing people to stand in line for hours to exercise their right to vote. I wonder how the nation’s seniors will respond when their social security, MEDICARE, MEDICAID checks are delayed for weeks. How will Trump’s base respond when their ballots are delayed? 

Trump and his Republican supporters should reject their satanic activities and embrace Christ’s teachings, of truth and humility. A NYT letter writer offered a brilliant suggestion to counter Trump’s antidemocratic satanic schemes. Trump has had an angry war of words with the high priest of capitalism, Jeff Bezos for months. Let Amazon offer to process election ballots and deliver them with his cutting edge technology operating at warp speed. If Bezos is falling on hard times let us suggest Mayor Bloomberg fund the USPS to ensure our election integrity. He has promised to use half his wealth of $60B to ensure Trump’s defeat. Mayor Bloomberg it is time to ‘walk the walk.! 

I also urge readers to send tweets to Donald Trump, suggested tweet: @RealDonaldTrump stop defunding the USPS & stop threatening to withhold funding from states that are trying to make it easier to vote; stop purging voter rolls using bogus voter ID laws & cutting the number of polling stations; repent the day of judgment is fast approaching.
