So our elected multifelon, sexual abuser president’s first job in office was to pardon the insurrectionists. Those insurrectionists were invited by the then-sitting president to come to Washington, D.C., and “be wild.” There were about 608 charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement agents or officers, including approximately 174 charged with using a deadly weapon or causing serious bodily injuries to officers. Some even died.

As I see it, it is a slap in the face to all the police officers in this country who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. It is also a slap in the face to all law-abiding citizens who believe in law and order; indeed, it is the very foundation of our country! If we are not a nation of law and order, what are we? We might have to rethink our role of that shining beacon of light upon a hill.
