I want to believe that you, Jeff Hurd, are a moral man and that you are not in total agreement with this regime’s actions, having trained as you did for the clergy.
The utter disregard for all norms of government by our so-called leaders is appalling.
The American people are not being served. And worse – they are suffering from an established safety net consciously being dismantled. The 40 million people who are being denied SNAP benefits, when there was $6 billion already allocated for it, is just one wantonly cruel example. The ACA tax credits for working people is unacceptable to Russell Vought and to Stephen Miller – but the billionaire tax credits are not.
The desecration of the East Wing of the White House – for a gilded vanity ballroom – is an obvious metaphor for the contempt that the president holds for his office. It is a tangible manifestation of what Trump is doing to the country, to our rights and liberties, to our economy, to the Constitution. Especially poignant is this destruction being performed during a government shutdown in which 1.4 million federal workers are going without their paychecks.
And why have the Republicans worked in session for a mere 20 days in 17 weeks? Why are you not denied your paycheck?
You, Jeff Hurd, took an oath, before God, to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.
If this isn’t a threat from within, I cannot imagine what is.
Do your job!
