The New Wild West

Strap on your six shooters or reach for the sky. The police in Minneapolis are going bye bye. The powers that be want the police department gone. Be careful of what you wish for and the line that you’ve drawn. Maybe we should stop paying taxes and see where that leads. Defund our government and start wearing beads. The summer of love in two thousand twenty. A redo of the wild west in the land of good and plenty. At least we are still armed and able to buy lead. Our safety and security are quickly being put to bed. Remember to lock your windows and both of your doors. The criminals now rule in this political war. Will we die from a virus or get shot in the street? More lawless communities, now wouldn’t that be neat. I’m disappointed and sick when I think of what’s next. Our leaders are failing and need a reality check.

Well said, but it is not only leaders who are out of touch! Our laws are based upon the concept of, "a reasonable man"; what reasonable man would appoint a Justice with only six-months bench experience (Justin R Walker) as the most qualified in the whole of the USA, yet Moscow Mitch and the Senate just ushered him in to protect Trump and his cronies, and not one "reasonable man" complained!

Thanks Rico. I feel like I'm watching some twisted reality show.
