Dear America: The man who did this is not your friend.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/putin-implicated-in-fatal-poisoning-of-former-kgb-spy-at-posh-london-hotel/2016/01/21/2c0c5052-bf92-11e5-98c8-7fab78677d51_story.html?utm_term=.108711858a29

He never will be your friend. He doesn't think you are human. His lackeys and fanboys and fangirls are not your friends. They are only trying to avoid the polonium 210.

There is no brighter future with the man who did this. There is only getting what he wants. And when he gets that, he will want more.

The man who did this is a monster. The one who thinks he is 'a smart guy' is also a monster. And the one who thinks he hasn't killed journalists is also a monster. And the ones who cover because they know the boogy man is really in the closet are all monsters.

They are no more entitled to a defense than the Germans who gave Hitler and his National Socialist party pluralities in the 1932 and 1933 German federal elections.

No pity. I pity the people who will be hurt. I pity the victims. I do not pity their oppressors or those who empower them.

If they would come out with their reasons for coming to their senses, it might help others that are afraid to admit they were wrong.

Sometimes it helps to show them that there are others who feel the same way.

Trump has a favorable rating of 43%. That is pitiful for a president elect and substantially lower than any of his predecessors. Our goal is to make sure that is his ceiling.

What percentage of that 43% are hard core Deplorables who will follow him over the cliff?

I don't know but we will find out.
