In any event, the idea that Trump thinks a process embedded in the four corners of our Constitution, one which is replete with checks and balances, amounts to a "lynching" is. . . about all I need to say, about his mental fitness for office. His overnight tweet, then:
. . . .So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here -- a lynching. . . .
-- Donald J. Trump 10.21.2019
His clue-free entitled sense of self-importance. . . deeply insults all the memories of all victims -- and the descendants of the victims -- of the perhaps 40,000-110,000 actual lynchings, in America. F-it. I'm running the graphic -- albeit behind a screening image.
[If you click the orange question mark at right, you will see her. She was Laura Nelson, an innocent, honest, hard working African American woman in Oklahoma, near the beginning of the 20th Century. A rabid mob of whites set upon her, and another woman, walking along a rural dirt road -- and then tortured and murdered them both -- without any due process of law. As the wedding ring on her finger documents, she was married and had a family -- her husband was left a widower, and raised her children without her. That's the best I can muster, as a trigger warning. A wider-view photo, shot the same day, here. Note the white crowds celebrating on the bridge.]
"Burn in Hell, Donald Trump."
