Is anyone beginning to think that Donald Trump considers himself a dictator or autocrat? He believes the non-applauding Democrats were criticizing him, not the president, but Trump himself, to be "treasonous." The man is ignorant and uninformed. about the laws and government of the United States. Trump must realize that when he accuses Dems of ‘Treason’ for not cheering his SOTU speech, he is not the Constitution, Dictator or GOVERNMENT, but, its CARETAKER. 

Republican, Theodore Roosevelt,  said, “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public,” while Trump says that criticizing him was "Anti-American," Vile," Unconscionable" and "Treasonous." Despots executed those who disparaged their authority. Beware.

Unnecessary and unreasonable military parades are generally provided for the amusement of those same tyrants... or, a show of power to the world. Which is Trump's request for a full parade, in his honor?

Our Revolution itself, was a revolt against a standing army occupying a major US city. Any demonstrations are such a display. U.S. military demonstrations in small towns were common in the early Republic, but American national liberty is associated with freedom from armies marching through the streets.

Proper popular sovereignty must be demonstrated through the show of freedom via peaceful displays, and exhibitions, not war.  Military parades should be kept local and less threatening to the nation and the world.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.
