President Trump's dictator-like administration is attacking the values America holds dear
NBC "News" ^ | November 26, 2019 | by Robert Redford, Actor

Posted on 11/26/2019 12:30:28 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: a dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for. As last week’s impeachment hearings made clear, our shared tolerance and respect for the truth, our sacred rule of law, our essential freedom of the press and our precious freedoms of speech - all have been threatened by a single man.

It’s time for Trump to go - along with those in Congress who have chosen party loyalty over their oath to “solemnly affirm” their support for the Constitution of the United States. And it’s up to us to make that happen, through the power of our votes.

We’re at a point in time where I reluctantly believe that we have much to lose - it is a critical and unforgiving moment. This monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, it’s not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.

There are only 11 months left before the presidential election; 11 months before we get our one real chance to right this ship and change the course of disaster that lies before us.

Let’s rededicate ourselves to voting for truth, character and integrity in our representatives (no matter which side we’re on). Let’s go back to being the leader the world so desperately needs. Let’s return, quickly, to being simply ... Americans.

Good point. If Trump were really a dictator, this hyperbolic-idiot would surely be dead.

Redford, you pinko pantywaist! You should have outgrown those sophomoric ideas 40 years ago. You’re 83 years old; grow up!

>>> a dictator-like attack

Cite examples.

>>> our shared tolerance and respect for the truth, our sacred rule of law, our essential freedom of the press and our precious freedoms of speech - all have been threatened

In what way? Cite examples.

I give this essay a “D”.

Hey, Redford. Blow it out your arse, Old Man. You are one who has done nothing at all to enhance our society, only yourself.

Egad! A warning would have been nice.

Sorry. It's a Dorian Gray sort of thing, isn't it.
