Evil must be named and confronted with Truth

This is an exercise of my First Amendment Right, under the United States Constitution.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

If you suffer under any delusion, that tRump is not a racist white nationalist - then please carefully read his twitter posts from this morning that I've included below.

Note tRump's use of the plural "congresswomen" - and "they".

Congresswoman @AyannaPressley
-born in Chicago.

Congresswiman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
- born in NYC.

Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib
- born in Detroit.

Only Ilhan Omar was born elsewhere. She arrived in 1992, and has been a U.S. citizen for 19 years, six years longer than his immigrant wife.

The sitting U.S. President is a racist white nationalist. For the blind and ignorant, let me clarify: His views can only be described as being most closely aligned with two groups: The KKK, and Nazis.

He promotes divisive policies.
He promotes hatred of immigrants.
He promotes hatred of other religions.

This is no longer something that can be ignored for the sake of keeping peace between parties, between friends, between families. This is an evil - and must be named and confronted with the Truth.

Silence is acceptance. 

Silence is to be complicit. 

This is how the beginning of atrocities against the Jewish people began in Germany, during the rise of Hitler. Would you have been silent then too?

In 1980, I swore an oath at the time of my enlistment in the United States Army.
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
 Note that the instruction to defend the Constitution precedes obeying the orders of POTUS. That was repeatedly impressed upon every soldier - that there is such a thing as an unlawful order. The Congress must act against his continued attacks on our Constitution - and against The Rule of Law.
