It feels as though one man has taken control of the USA, and not for the betterment of the country, but rather to satisfy his own ego needs which are never-ending. So much for improving our country as he claimed he would do and basically so much for democracy being able to withstand a dictator. There are so many negative items related to Mr. Trump who seems to have deserted America for his own purposes, one of which is to try to prove that he cannot be restricted by laws nor by simple decency.
His rash of pardons simply serves to further his position that he is above all rules, regulations and traditions in our country. I wouldn’t be surprised at any pardons he may issue no matter what the crime may have been, just to play the role of dictator even further.
On the other hand, kudos to Mr. Barr for standing up for truth in Trump’s continuing farce about the election. If anyone could rig an election it would be Trump who has already demonstrated that skill.
Where are our leaders who seem to be ignoring the 25th amendment when clearly Mr. Trump is not emotionally fit to govern anymore? If he is allowed to finish the next few weeks in office who knows what further damage he will do.
