""Why? Why do this?"

Answer to that question:

It's Donald Trump. The word "Ethics" should have been Feliz's first clue.

To Trump, that word alone is like sunlight to a vampire in a syfi movie.

We all know how Trump feels about veterans and it's probably to cover up his own "bone spurs" cowardice when he was called to serve. However, he's also about $3 Trillion dollars short of justifying the extension of the tax break he promised to his uber-wealthy friends to pay them back for those lofty sums they invested in his election.

If we recall . . .

Trump failed in his attempt to abolish the limit on the national debt so he's turning over every rock and scraping the bottom of every barrel for how to keep that tax break for his friends in the national budget which is coming due in March.

What I'm noticing is the 'Targets for Assassination' list getting longer.

Since Trump would more than likely be unsuccessful at removing the U.S. from NATO vis-a-vie Congress, this warning sounds more like Trump trying to turn a loss into a win.

Plan B, so to speak.

McConnell has been in politics too long not to recognize Trumps rhetoric as red flags flying at full mast.

Kentucky doesn't have to worry about tariffs, especially on aluminum.

If I remember correctly, only just a few years ago McConnell used his position in the U.S. Senate to cut through several miles of red tape . . . not to mention violating clear rules against. . . to allow a Russian owned aluminum plant to set up operation in the state of Kentucky in direct competition with U.S. aluminum plants.

My sympathy for McConnell often waxes and wanes. This time it's waning.

McConnell bears some responsibility for not nipping Trump's election in the bud when he had the chance. There's no forgiveness for that.

I sent a few myself, wherein the word "COWARD" was prominently displayed. Not that it did any good. Apparently, their fear of Trump and the lives of their families is all-consuming.

The final arbiters will be the U.S. Supreme Court whom themselves are steeped in unpresented corruption.

Time will tell if they self-correct.

God help this country.
