Where is the outrage?
Dear editor:
“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,” Obama said, in October 2016.
Yet Judy Ladd implies that the president-elect, Donald Trump, did nothing on Jan.
6, 2017, 20 days before being sworn in on Jan. 20 (good time to do the math, 20 minus 6 equals
14 not 20), and Trump did nothing. First President Obama was the president in those 20 or
14 days, not Trump. Second, President Obama, as seen above, knew of the possibility and dismissed it back in October 2016. If everything she implied was true, it begs the question: “Why didn’t Obama do something?”
She goes on with a rant about “treason” because President Trump recently met with President Putin. President Obama met with President Putin; where was the outrage then? We also know that President Obama met with the Cuban leader Raul Castro. No outrage from Judy. Part of the pick and choose strategy. We also can search the internet and see Sen. Chuck Schumer sharing doughnuts and meeting with Hillary. Again, that is what diplomats do.
Treason is a big dangerous word. Perhaps she should look the definition up to see how it applies. Treason to me would be selling uranium to the Russians or secretly sending untold millions/billions to Iran in the middle of the night. At least it would be closer to the definition.
Other words that stand out are “traitor” and “criminal,” yet there is nothing to imply either. But here is what the Democratic Party is offering: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?” No, I don’t think the Democratic Party would support her, but the DNC is calling for these radicals to come out of the woodwork.
It is less than two years into President Trump’s administration and in spite of all the allegations, however unfounded, our economy is flourishing and employment is at record highs. Yet if the Dems get back in power, they have indicated that they will reverse the tax breaks that all Americans enjoy and perhaps destroy all of the progress made. Ted C. Burhenn Hot Springs
