Trump is a deadly threat to America

It's obvious that the current president of the United States is an ignorant, malicious, incompetent man who is clueless about our Constitution, our basic American values, and even basic human values. And he is 100% clueless about the reality of how the vast majority of the American people struggle day-to-day just to survive.

He knows how the wealthy live. But do you really think he knows anything at all about the daily existence of average Americans such as carpenters, salespeople, farm workers, day laborers, bank clerks, bus drivers, truckers, lumberjacks, nurses, gardeners, supermarket check-out clerks, cooks, waiters, or any of the millions of people who labor every day to sustain their standard of living?

Having said all that, here's what makes him a deadly threat to America. He's appointed a white supremasist, Stephan Bannon, as his chief of staff and his main adviser. He's appointed Jeff Sessions, a lifelong bigot, as his Attorney General. His cabinet is made up of people whose goals are to destroy the purposes of the governmental departments they now lead. Putin, in his wildest dreams, could not have appointed a better wrecking crew than Trump has. And by "wrecking crew" I mean people whose ideology is to destroy the American government as it currently exists and replace it with their own demented views of what our country should be.

Trump, his advisers, his cabinet and much of the GOP are a deadly cancer on America. Somehow, someway, we must convince enough elected Republicans that their political survival depends on their impeaching him and ridding the country of his insanity.

This will be difficult as so many Republicans are just as unhinged as Trump. But what must be done is to convince enough of them that they are destroying their party on the local, state and national levels.

The alternative is a country in which none of us will want to live in anymore.

On August 24, 2016, Rolling Stone magazine published a report by investigative reporter Greg Palast entitled, “The GOP's Stealth War Against Voters: Will an anti-voter-fraud program designed by one of Trump's advisers deny tens of thousands their right to vote in November?” Palast reported that “In January 2013, Kobach [the Secretary of State of Kansas] addressed a gathering of the National Association of State Election Directors about combating an [alleged] epidemic of ballot-stuffing across the country.

He announced that Crosscheck had already uncovered 697,537 'potential duplicate voters' in 15 states, and that the state of Kansas was prepared to cover the cost of compiling a nationwide list. That was enough to persuade 13 more states to hand over their voter files to Kobach's office.” Palast alleges that virtually all of these 697,537 'potential duplicate voters' failed to meet Kobach's claims that they matched first, middle, and last names, birth dates, and the last 4 digits of people's Social Security number.

CROSSCHECK needs a special investigation as well.....13 states handing over their voter files....
