Donald Trump’s return to the White House sends more chilling signals than I can possibly count, but surely a few of them stand out.<\/p>\n

The mass deportation and separation of illegally documented immigrants is one; the desire to let Ukraine fall to the Russian invaders is another.<\/p>\n

The one Trump promise that well could keep awake at night is the one that pledges that grant blanket pardons for the traitors who stormed the Capitol Building on Jan. 6 intending to overturn the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but seeking those hideous videos of the mob smashing windows, beating cops with poles, yelling “where’s Mike Pence” while brandishing gallows from which they threatened to hang the vice president continue to make my skin crawl.<\/p>\n

And for Trump to declare that the assault was full of “love” simply goes too far beyond the pale to even elicit an intelligent response.<\/p>\n

He vows to fight crime, and yet he’s a convicted felon. Go figure that one for me … if you dare try. Trump’s anti-immigrant screeds only will increase once he is sworn in as POTUS. Yet two of his three wives were immigrants. Have they “poisoned the blood”<\/em> of the nation? Trump cannot tell the truth about anything, no matter how significant or trivial the issue.<\/p>\n

These all are points to ponder as we prepare for the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n

I will circle back, though, to this idea of pardoning the frothing criminals who followed this man’s instruction to “fight like hell” to “take back the government” on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n

If we have learned anything about the ex- and future POTUS, when he vows to do the outrageous, we should believe him.<\/p>\n\n
