Pretty sure traitor has access to thugs willing to commit the kind of war crimes I read about happening in Ukraine, so I'd worry about my loved ones. I don't think the traitorous henchmen in elected or appointed positions have that fear. I think they get off on fomenting that fear and being part of the cruelty sweeping over our country. Dreaming about fabulous wealth without working, free sex with no obligation or worries about a mutually satisfying performance, no responsibilities for anyone but their own selves, I think whoever hitches their wagon to traitor's coattails have a fantasy of all having it all without doing any work whatsoever.
