letter to the editor:

senator josh hawley your ideology binds you to evil and threatens us all

you would scuttle a fair impeachment trial:

impeachment was designed precisely to remove a bad actor who would keep himself in power by undermining our elections.

trump invited this in 2016 and sought it in 2019.

trump’s character is worse than our founders contemplated.

neither did they consider a fully compliant senate majority

consider the nightmare scenario that trump refuses to relinquish power.

we will have war, global depression, climate change disaster, violence at home

senator hawley are you an always trumper?

your obsequious sabotage of the trial runs contrary to the interests of all your missouri voting constituents and all your country citizens and all your global citizens.

maybe you are too young to understand the evil you enable:

start with the following:

• fascism: a warning by madeline albright — trump rhymes with hitler

• a warning by anonymous — insider look at the sociopath. see p. 242 for discussion of trump remaining past 2024

• https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8685381-those-then-who-resist-a-confirmation-of-public-order-are — alexander hamilton’s prescient description of trump, including — “It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’ “

senator hawley i insist you uphold your oaths to the constitution and to a fair senate trial.

i will hold you accountable for the damage trump does if he is not convicted and removed.

i look forward to future discussions.

Russell Pachynski M.D.
