Dictator must be reined in

The convicted felon now holding the highest political office in this country, besides issuing decrees causing harm to millions here and around the world with more to come from his economy-wrecking tariffs, is accepting bribes from foreign countries, corporations and the rich with his latest scam — cryptocurrency.

His lapdog billionaire has taken over the federal purse strings, allowing him access to the personal information of everyone in this country, with no accountability to anyone. He pardoned the wrongdoers who fought and injured police officers trying to defend the U.S. Congress, along with the Silk Road drug lord who facilitated illegal drug dealing using bitcoin.

Redistribution of wealth from the 80% of poor and middle-class families in this country will continue with even larger drops in income relative to the rich and powerful. His lackeys control Congress and the Supreme Court and that, along with his firing of the Inspector Generals, makes a mockery of the checks-and-balances set up in our Constitution.

While we still have a representative democracy, while we can still speak without looking over our shoulders, call our senators and representatives and demand they do whatever they can to rein in this dictator.
