I will never forgive him.

I will never forgive anyone who propped him up, bailed him out, covered his ass, or gave him any credence as a "business" man.

I will never forgive anyone who gave him a platform as a reality tv personality and inoculated so many against his cruel nature.

I will never forgive anyone who voted for him (or Stein or Johnson for that matter).

I will never forgive anyone who attended one of his rallies, waved a sign with his name on it, put a bumper sticker on their car, or posted in his support online.

I will never forgive anyone who served in his administration in any capacity.

I will never forgive any elected official in the Republican party, especially the ones in Congress. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham first and foremost.

Osama Bin Laden did not terrify me. The Taliban did not terrify me. Saddam Hussein did not terrify me. Did I think they were horrific people capable of much evil? Absolutely. But they did not existentially terrify me.

Trump does.

I admire those of you who have the capacity for forgiveness. I am simply not capable of it at the moment.

"Osama Bin Laden did not terrify me. The Taliban did not terrify me. Saddam Hussein did not terrify me. Did I think they were horrific people capable of much evil? Absolutely. But they did not existentially terrify me.

Trump does."

Also terrifying is the astounding number of those in elected office or other position of authority who have chosen to abet him rather than acting to stop him. Of what persuasive substance are his tentacles constructed? What price has purchased such brazen and widespread exercise of corruption? I almost don't want to know, but I think we need to.

I believe you reap what you sow. I also believe that hate is far worse on the person who does the hating. I am angry at all the Trump people. MAGATs, Republicans, his administration, his three oldest kids, and him. But they don’t get to control how or what I feel.

And I will be glad, relieved and even joyful when they all utterly fail and lose. They are too stupid to hate and too unconscious to benefit from any kind of forgiveness. They need to just go away, go back under whatever rock they came out of.

What were the penalties for the Nazis and Japanese?

The Rosenbergs' or Pvt. Slovik?

We demanded the ultimate penalty to show the world that the actions these people were convicted of, were dealt with!

Trump and Barr and all the rest should sleep afraid.

The real America will not tolerate your treasonous bullshit!

GUILTY!
