NEW YORK NIGHTS

We have a message for the handful of letter writers to the Daily Sentinel who keep insisting that those of us who don’t worship Donald J. Trump are “Marxists, Leftists and Communists.”

They sing the praises of a man who uses his own brutal, masked, anonymous militia to sow terror among the populace, even when it results in innocent deaths; a man who uses force and violence to impose his will on other countries; a man who ignores Constitutional laws and judges who may interfere with his obsession for enriching himself; a man who uses the Department of Justice to hide evidence that may reveal him to be a pedophile; a man who just shows an utterly depraved indifference to the quality of American lives!

When they proudly, loudly support a man like that we ask that they look into the mirror…what you see staring back at you is truly, “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

So, Americans, vote for Democrats at your earliest opportunity.
