Will We The People Save Our Beloved Country?

Really, to call President-elect Donald Trump "unqualified" to be America's next commander in chief, is being a tad too politically correct.

He's the least qualified human being for the position ever to walk the face of the earth.

Bugs Bunny or Charles Manson would make better, more honorable presidents.

The scariest thing about Trump isn't the wide open, bottomless sewer of deception in which he thrives, daily casting aspersions and inciting fear.

No, the scariest thing about Trump has long been that millions of Americans guzzled the snake oil of the world's most dangerous and MOST OBVIOUS con.

Now, three weeks after this country's most bizarre and divisive election likely ever and amidst unprecedented reckless, unethical behavior from the president elect, the disconnect is just as mind blowing.

Will Trump believers start experiencing buyer's remorse now?

Here's an admitted sexual assaulter, accused child rapist, tax evader, demonstrated swindler, defendant in some 70 lawsuits, extraordinarily shallow, thin-skinned alarmist with a short attention span and troubling international business conflicts around the globe.

And millions of Americans chose him for their next president -- and still appear to be rallying around him.

Not only is Trump immensely unqualified to be this nation's commander and chief, but most concerning of all, "The Donald" is an obsessive and fairly good liar -- a prerequisite for any successful con man.

He tells whoever he's in the room with at the time, just what he or she wants to hear. Just like he did at his sit down with the New York Times a week ago.

And in this age of pseudo-intellectual partisan bitterness, where hearing what we want, comes reflexively, that has made Trump an extraordinarily dangerous force.

It's as if incrementally, unknowingly even elements of the media are allowing themselves to be brainwashed by Trump's blatant, insistent lies.

If a people is lied to long enough, they'll start to believe those lies. Clearly, that's Trump's strategic personal Constitution. In the very least, society becomes numb to his deceit and ultimately excuses it.

"Oh, that's Trump simply being Trump," they'll say insipidly, as if liberally and persistently toying with the truth is of no consequence for a president of the United States.

Just the same, how can the mainstream media as a whole remain so complacent in the face of Trump's sheer arrogance?

Certainly, Trump's glaringly unscrupulous past and present has become enmeshed and blurred over time with this bad boy rebellious outsider persona he and his crooked handlers have fed the public.

It's just easier to digest that trumped up facade of heroic outsider for the average Joe Citizen, and even time-crunched news reporters, in this soundbite society, than to wade through the muck of Trump's past.

But the integrity of the Fourth Estate is as vital as ever to our country.

For those who take the time, Trump's failure to the meet minimum standards of decency is manifest in assorted verifiable violations against humanity over the years. They are so widespread and intermingled that it boggles the mind.

Like a grove of intertwined sprawling oaks, it's virtually impossible to see the grove for the individual trees.

And so the viewer comes away with only a vague notion of what the individual tree (or infraction) looks like.

Still, that's no excuse for us Americans to remain clueless, while the grand illusionist practices his sleight of hand with American principle and threatens to savage the future of our children.

Trump has built his suspect empire by trampling over lives, short changing investors and bilking thousands of their slice of the American dream.

How can Trump realistically be free of conflicts of interest as president, while his family cuts million dollar deals with foreign government associates?

Why did Trump pay a $25 million settlement in the Trump University fraud case, if he did nothing wrong?

Let's get the details of the numerous other lawsuits naming Trump. Was the child rape case against Trump, scheduled for consideration in New York District Court Dec. 16, really dropped by the accuser after multiple threats on her life? (The lurid allegations in the case are a matter of record.)

Trump promised to "drain the swamp" of corrupt establishment types, but has proceeded to surround himself with Washington lobbyists, Wall Streeters and wealthy Conservative insiders, most with troubling elitist sympathies.

Yes, this is really happening. This isn't Reality TV.

If America as a whole doesn't wake up -- and RISE UP to reject a President Donald Trump -- before state electors cast their votes Dec. 19 -- it's easily game over.

State electors can still change their votes from Trump to Hillary Clinton (or another candidate) who won the national popular vote by more than two million votes. Clinton has always been the only legitimate choice for president of the two candidates.

If the people make enough noise over Trump's post election recklessness -- his baseless illegal voting allegations, threat to jail flag burners, appointing insider elites, disregard of family business conflicts and flouting national security protocol -- the electors will have no choice but to listen.

All that, coupled with Jill Stein's push for vote recounts in three states -- in light of compelling evidence that the election was indeed "rigged" in Trump's favor -- could produce refutable proof that Trump in every way is undeserving of the presidency.

The more red flags, the better. For love of country, state electors will have to change their mind and elected representatives will have to take a stand.

The writing is on the wall in glaring, bold, black letters. It's unmistakable. We can't rely solely on corporate-controlled cable news, which typically glosses over the truth.

We need to do our homework, our own digging. We have a second chance to save our country. And it could be our last.

  2. It's a long shot, but it's a shot. That and the vote recount in three states. And the more Trump acts out now, the better the chance of keeping out of White House
