Here I am

Sun., March 1, 2020

Call it what you will: payback, retaliation, reprisal, vengeance. It is simply Donald Trump’s way of punishing those whom he deems to have opposed him. Even if the people he punishes are complying with a legal subpoena and obeying the law.

If you don’t believe that, just ask Lt. Col. Vindman and the ambassador, G. Sondland. Just don’t make Trump mad.

Who knows? I may be the next on his list. I have been, and will continue to be, sickened each time I see him stand before the American people and spout his unending lies. He disgusts me. There, I said it.

Here I am, Trump.
