R.I.P. U.S.A., 1776-2024
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I had hope: that was the past. Since I began my growing
interest in government and the ugly world of politics in 1962, as a junior in
high school, at the age of 16, I have watched America abandon its integrity,
its morals, its principles, and most significantly its belief in “liberty and
justice for all.” With great sadness, I am obligated to tell you that my
America is deceased.
It happened in 2024, and only a few of us was aware of
America’s demise. It happened when your illegitimate president was granted
absolute immunity in all situations, public and private. However, the actions
of six biased and corrupt Supreme Court Justices created a condition with far
reaching ramifications, including the end of the dream of our founding fathers.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GREAT POWER IS GIVEN TO A MADMAN
WHOSE GOALS INCLUDE ABSOLUTE POWER, OUTRAGEOUS WEALTH, ALL FUELED BY ANGER,
HATRED, AND VIOLENCE
Trump violates the Constitution with every breath he takes.
His violations of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendments
are too numerous to name in this short article. He is, without question, a fascist
dictator, whose personal ambitions are the only issue of importance to the
orange buffoon.
With absolute immunity comes absolute power. His 989
oligarchs are able to do anything they choose without concerns about
punishment. Trump has and will pardon criminals at will, and the once respected
media will judge his actions as acceptable, and normal. He began his second
term by pardoning the more than 1,600 men and women who committed treason on
January 6, 2021.
Fact: without a fair and impartial justice system, no
country can exist. This is Trump’s America. The Attorney General and Department
of Justice are intended to be neutral and impartial. However, in 2026, they
work for Trump. Our military leaders in the Pentagon obey their
Fascist-in-Chief, knowing that he hates America. All law enforcement agencies
share Trump’s devotion to racism and bigotry.
FOR THE LAST 64 YEARS I HAVE WATCHED AS POLITICIANS BEGAN TO
DESTROY EVERYTHING WHICH MADE AMERICA THE MOST RESPECTED NATION IN THE WORLD,
PIECE BY PIECE
Governments are synonymous with corruption. Money is the
root of all evil, and power corrupts absolutely. Without term limits, the
legislative branch of our government has become a “good old boy’s club.” They protect
each other’s crimes and failures with the use of, “that information is not
available due to concerns related to national security.” They forgot that this
country is ours, not theirs.
Over the last 11 years, the men and women who call
themselves “Republicans” spend most of their time protecting their Fuhrer from
the truth.
The Supreme Court has become nothing more than a bad joke.
Its only purpose was to ensure that all laws, rules, and regulations do not
violate the Constitution. Over the last four years, with right-wing justices
holding a super majority at 6-3, these five men and one woman are repealing
laws and making their own. They are grabbing power not given to them by our Founding
Fathers. With lifetime appointments, they have no fear of punishment for their
crimes. Only impeachment can remove them from office, and that has never
happened in our nation’s 250-year history.
THIS FORMER PATRIOT NO LONGER LOVES TRUMP’S DISUNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
No one has loved their country more than me. However, when
the illegal and immoral war in South Vietnam began to escalate in the mid 1960’s,
I became a critic of my government. To this day, I have never read an explanation
which justified fighting a war halfway around the world. We were never attacked
by the North Vietnamese.
I began to understand the satire of Mark Twain: "Loyalty
to the country always. Loyalty to the government, when it deserves it."
Our current government, all three branches, should be
removed from their lives of luxury and privilege and exiled to any nation which
would have them, but not this one.
