My disgust at the ignorance and my anger with the Trump-humping "don't need no

stinkin' mask" crowd has me ALMOST to the point of considering those who invade my space without a mask as guilty of assault.

Donald Trump has all the moral depth of a thoroughly spoiled 5 year old. One does not

"reason" with self-centered tantrum-throwing brats. One removes them and isolates them so their whining and screaming is not allowed to ruin everyone else's day.

Please stop discussing what he says and does as though he was a responsible adult.

As long as we're getting rid of statues of notorious racists, why ignore the bust of

Rush Limbaugh located in the Hall of Famous Missourians in Jefferson City? It is protected by a dedicated camera and baton-wielding taxpayer funded guards, almost like they are expecting someone to recycle a six-pack on ol' Rush.

What a disappointment! I understood that Donald Trump Jr would be on TV with "Trigger",

so I tuned in.

But, he only had the back half of Roy Roger's horse on his program!

Rim shot, please, professor!

"Re-electing Trump will be good for business."

Invest your grandparents.

Any effort to restore this nation's reputation which does not feature Trump's imprisonment

for his crimes in office is doomed to failure.

In our fear and desperation to craft some remedy---some solution---for the daily failures of our

government, we keep bumping into the same elephant in the room: Trump is a monster.

Until that elephant is removed---by whatever means---there will not be enough room for democratic governance.

Please name three of Trump's advisors or cabinet members who could NOT be indicted

for some crime by a legitimate competent prosecutor.

I'll wait.

To the Republicans always asking "Where will we get the money?" whenever social programs

are proposed, may I recommend ""Sutton's Law"? Not an actual statute, the "law" was named after lifelong bank robber Willie Sutton who, when asked why he robbed banks replied "BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS".

So, if a senator or representative was searching for a source of tax revenue to pay for things like Corona virus testing, PPEs, economic stimulus payments, etc., it would make one whole hell of a lot more sense to raise taxes on hundreds of billionaires who already have all the private jets they need or on millions of working class families struggling to pay the rent, put food on the table and shoes on their kids.

Willie may have been a crook, but he never robbed poor people.
