Harming America, One Last Time

 SOON TO BE former president Trump, thank goodness, seems determined to go out in character; stupid, and cruel. Its getting worse, so thank God he'll soon be gone. On Thanksgiving, Trump encouraged Americans to gather together with friends and family in large numbers, and to attend their usual religious services with the full congregation. Incitement to mass murder. Trump, simply put, is trying to increase the number of people he has already killed through disastrous leadership by as many as one hundred thousand. The difference between listening to Trump and behaving sanely is at least that great, and his followers listen to him. His followers are the ones doing just as he suggested.If you disagree, your argument is with the medical profession, the science profession, and place like Harvard and M.I.T. Good luck with that. To show that he cannot be controlled, Trump must show that he is in control. a mental illness. The neo-conservative supreme Court is on Trump's side, just as he and his Republican enablers intended.Reversing itself from Ginsburg to Amy, they five to foured a church's right to hold full house services, in spite of the orders of any emergency burdended political leader. Freedom of speech. Freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom to sicken and die. Constitutionaly, the argument has merit. but the fact that four justices dissented proves that the opposite argument also has merit.You might think that intelligent well informed thoughtful people such as the sort who sit on the Supreme Court would realize that limiting the size of congregations in churches during a deadly pandemic does not constitute an infringement upon religious freedom, nor of freedom of speech, because church services are the mere trappings, ceremonies, and rituals of religious devotion, not the religious belief itself. Religious belief and devotion exist in the heart and mind of the believer; god can be and is worshiped anywhere, including the safety and sanctity of the home. but, conservatives will be conservatives, and will render conservative opinions, what they believe the constitution mandates.Few if any among us can truly transcend our biases. The real issue is President trump's words of encouragement to Americans to put themselves in harm's way,  for which he should justly be indicted, impeached, convicted, and removed from office, as he should have been long ago for other crimes.We'll soon see the impact of Trump's latest traitorous behavior.It won't be the first time this monster has harmed our country, but, if we are fortunate, it will be the last.
