To the editor:

How much gross corruption by President Donald Trump will it take to convince his staunch followers that this man’s megalomania and greed are beyond the pale? Accepting an airplane as a personal gift, investments in his family’s cryptocurrency business and producing a film about his wife are only a small list of flagrant transactions which to most people look like bribes.

Impeachment and prosecution for all the crimes he hid from by getting elected again.

Yup, you guys are so clearly, emotionally, and mentally broken.

Maybe you should go outside and have one big primal scream and see if that helps.

Who will be your target once Voldemort, I mean Trump's, term is over? Who will be your boogeyman next?

Meanwhile, life goes on, the Dems continue to rail against Voter ID, and fleece the taxpaying public without consequence, Illegal Aliens still get more free stuff, the Clintons get deposed in the privacy of their home (closed door, how nice for them), and the folks in the USCG work for no pay.

But hey, who cares? It's all good, right?

This is the kind of stuff that's built your reputation for idiocy.

You know voter ID is just a tool to disenfranchise American voters Trump doesn't like, and that there's no problem with out elections.

You talk about Democrats fleecing the taxpayers while Trump continually screws everyone else by giving billionaires huge tax breaks and is now trying to sue the American government he was running because the IRS he was responsible for leaked his tax returns after he refused to produce them after promising repeatedly to do so.

The illegal aliens getting free stuff lies have been debunked repeatedly, get off Newsmax.

The Clintons publicly stated they wanted their depositions to be in public, it's the Republicans that don't want that to happen because they're trying not to let any information about Trump's involvement with the pedophile ring. You probably haven't heard but witness statements from a teenaged girl that accused Trump of sexually assaulting her are some of the many documents they're hiding to try to save Trump.

Meanwhile, Jim Jordan never answered his subpoena, and of course there weren't any consequences because there never are for Republicans.

There are many people working without pay right now, as there were during the last shutdown, both of which are Trump's fault. His appointment of completely unqualified lackeys is what brought us to the point that ICE is regarded as completely out of control (and rightfully so). Qualified leadership would not have led to the issues that now have people questioning if ICE can even be saved in its current form. The two longest shutdowns in American history have been during Trump's term, and it's because of how Trump tries to dictate everything to everybody instead of working with anyone.

No one with a brain thinks our government is all good right now. As long as Trump continues to try to be a dictator both here and abroad we are going to have serious problems. His moronic economic policies of tariffs and "deregulation" are complete and utter disasters. The only good news right now is that American voters have realized once again Trump duped them, doesn't have the answers to their problems, doesn't have a clue what he's doing in any facet of governing, and doesn't care about them in the least bit. Thankfully American voters have clearly decided to hold other Republicans accountable for abdicating their responsibilities to their constituents and the Constitution and we can at least slow down the crazy train by taking back a house of Congress in the midterms.

You don't seem to realize what a snowflake you and others like you come across as when you whine about Trump only being allowed to do 90% of the damage he wants to do to the country. Yes, the courts (other than the compromised Supreme Court) routinely stop some of the most outlandish stuff Trump tries, and throw out his most ridiculous attempts at persecuting his political enemies, but compared to the damage he's been allowed to do by Congress anyone who cries about Trump being stopped at any attempt no matter how insane sounds like the ultimate whiner. Republicans have a stranglehold on the country, but that's still not enough for you, you want your dear leader to be an omnipotent dictator (as does he). Well, get used to it, it's not going to happen. The American people are waking up, and even a partial glance at the things Trump's been doing would lead any patriotic American to oppose him and his attacks on the Constitution and American democracy.
