When is Enough, Finally Enough?

At what point does the mainstream News Media establishment stop pretending that this is normal; a “new beginning;” another opportunity for Donald Trump to change and become Presidential; playing this as “entertainment” and/or a ratings bonanza; and being “Fair and Balanced,” as if there are really two sides to what is happening. When do they stop being a conduit for the blatant Propaganda from Trump, his enablers, and apologists? When does the Fourth Estate start doing its job: by clearly and unambiguously pointing out that Trump is profoundly mentally ill—as thousands of mental health professionals have publicly asserted for months—and a clear and present threat to our Nation and Way of Life?

When does the entire mainstream News Media establishment face and report to the American people, what the Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, and a handful of other organizations are beginning to report: Donald Trump must not only be opposed and resisted, he must be removed from Office? It must be swift and brutal—via Impeachment and Conviction in Congress [for high crimes and misdemeanors too numerous to list] or Article 25 [for being emotionally unfit to serve]—as an object lesson for any would be future demagogue.

The people who had the power to expose and stop Adolf Hitler, in Germany in the 1930s, did nothing. A decade and bloody World War later, with much of Europe in ruins and Germany devastated, the madness ended with a bullet to the back of Hitler’s head, likely delivered by some trusted aide.

We are a Republic, with three co-equal branches of the Federal Government and an independent Free Press. We have never faced a threat like Trump before. A truly insane President is unprecedented. But the Founders of our Nation knew Tyrants well in their time, and put in place mechanisms to protect our Republic from a tyrant. We have the tools; we have a dangerous demagogue and would be tyrant, a mental cripple, occupying the White House. All that is needed is for We the People to recognize the threat and demand our representatives eliminate it.
