Burning down the villages [View all]

The sight of the flames through the wood stove door this morning did not evoke the usual feelings of coziness and self-sufficiency. I had just read some of the DU headlines which caused me to (yet again) focus on the Oval Office criminal.

Trump is a disaster-causing flamethrower. He’s on a rampage, riding his arson-equipped golf cart through village after village, both here and abroad. Apparently he takes great delight and feels enormous power when he tosses matches on the contents of his gas cans. Cruelty and revenge are the goals, power is the payoff.

Equally as troubling are the rows and rows of cultists lining the streets, either cheering the devastation or condoning it with their cowardly silence. I can’t help but wonder if Trump will be stopped before there is nothing left but smoldering ash.

Who or what will stop him?
