You can respect the presidency or you can respect this President. You can’t do both. This may well be this country’s last President’s Day. The barbarians are not at the gate, they are in the White House.

The Republican Party, with their spineless acquiescence during the senate trial, has once and for all given up any and all pretense of participating in a functioning Democracy and have instead handed us a monarch.

The United States now has a king. His name is Donald J. Trump and if he finds a way to win this November it is Game Over for the American Experiment. The future of the country, no correction, the planet hangs in the balance.

Think about that as you enjoy your day off. Come this time next year, American Democracy may be another wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization. Just saying.
