Dorothy & Lee's Haven: a dance of the heart

The spectacle Trump plans to hold on October 27th in Madison Square Garden will be obscene, Un-American, and contemptible.

Trump is utterly unfit for the Presidency. He is also Constitutionally disqualified to be President -- he shattered his Oath, fomented a violent insurrection against our democracy, against the voters (We the People) and against the Constitution, and he remains in rebellion against the Constitution of the United States. He is a convicted felon, a criminal who will be sentenced for one set of crimes and tried for many more after the election. He is long overdue to be utterly repudiated (again) by the American people, and imprisoned for his crimes. He is sick, dangerous, and a fool.

Vote him out.

Excerpt:

For the apotheosis of his entire “poisoning of the blood” campaign, Donald Trump has planned a spectacular extravaganza in Madison Square Garden on 27 October, a week before the election. ...

Trump’s climactic rally will not be in the spirit of any past presidential event ever held there. His gathering for the great racist replacement theory will be the culmination of his spiraling descent since the Charlottesville rally in 2017 when neo-N**is chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” “Fine people on both sides,” Trump said then. Now, at his night at the Garden, Trump will revive the memory of the infamous American N**i mass rally held there on 20 February 1939 through his reflected Hi**erian rhetoric.

In the last week, Trump has pledged to deploy the military against “the enemy within”, domestic opponents he claims are worse than foreign adversaries – those Hi**er called “Feind des Volkes”, or “enemy of the people”. Trump has threatened to destroy CBS, ABC and the New York Times. About ABC, after it conducted the debate in which he performed disastrously, he called to “take away their license”. After Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview, having refused his own, he tweeted on 10 October: “TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE.” About the Times, he said on 9 October: “Wait until you see what I’m going to do with them.” He has singled out by name journalists for the Times and the New Yorker as “FAKE OBAMA LOVING ‘JOURNALISTS”. At every rally he denounces the “fake news”, a drumbeat for years, echoing Hi**er’s pejorative slur, “die Lügenpresse” – “the lying press”.

Trump’s planned rally at Madison Square Garden will be the ultimate act of ego and the climax of his Hi**erian rhetoric
