My comment in this brief blog post will be directed at a fellow who I must presume believes he is clairvoyant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A Facebook friend — a member of my family — posted a ditty about Donald Trump not being seen for three days. I responded, “One can only hope.” This other guy, who I do not know, responded with a harsh rejoinder, telling me what I said was shameful and that “I want you to die.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I couldn’t find the post when I looked for it, but I wanted to tell him that my death is inevitable, “but just not today.”<\/em> Perhaps he took it down. Whatever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do I want Donald Trump to keel over? No. I don’t. My criticism of his policies has been harsh and I will not back away from what I believe are policies that will harm my beloved nation. But I damn sure am never going to wish death on the president of the United States of America. I am acutely aware that statements one posts find their way around the world in a manner of nano-seconds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Therefore, I am not so stupid than to say such a thing out loud.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As for my private thoughts, that is where they will remain. Locked up and hidden from public view.<\/p>\r\n\n
