The Fort Liberty Predicament

What, if any, sentiments do I have about Fort Liberty, once Fort Bragg?  Even though this army post is the domicile of the 82nd Airborne, the quick response team of the United States Army, and now the residence of Ground Forces Command (among other elite military units) locally there never was any animosity about war-like behaviors of soldiers.  Until Pvt. James Norman Burmeister II and Pvt. Malcolm Wright brutally executed Michael James and Jackie Burden while walking along a Fayetteville street, white supremacist behavior was not a prevalent dynamic at the post.  It was in 1970 that army physician Jeffrey Robert McDonald brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters while living on base.  Drug use and the manipulation of an other woman were thought to be the cause of these murders.  Only recently Seth Harp's non-fiction book exposes a drug cartel within the Special Forces group stationed and now headquartered at Fort Liberty.  If we jump out of the military and into Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE, which incidentally now is staffed by members of the Proud Boys and ex military, vindictive and lawless abductions, detainments, and now murders have become commonplace.  It should be no surprise whence this behavior originates.  It was proven our President Donald Trump is guilty of insurrection organizing and instigating the unruly attack on the United States Capital.  Four years later somehow he was reelected President after multiple felony indictments for a variety of crimes.  He stole confidential classified federal documents and took them to his Mar-a-Lago residence, where they sat in a bathroom.  U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case before prosecutor Jack Smith was able to present his evidence.  It is likely that Trump sold the documents to foreign adversaries to later stoke Israel's attack on Gaza and his subsequent War in Iran.  It will be interesting if the United States Senate confirms Todd Blanche as the new U.S. District Attorney.  He was the litigator who, representing Donald Trump, sued the IRS for disclosing Donald Trump's tax returns.  The settlement for withdrawing the lawsuit was the establishment of a 1.7 billion dollar fund to PAY the perpetrators of the January 6th attacks.  PAY THE MOB THAT ATTACKED THE CAPITAL!  This fund seems to be important to the President, because paying his cronies is a familiar practice for him.  He pays them to play.  It is difficult for me to read the front page of the Washington Post these days, because the criminal activity of our active President is outrageous, egregious, repugnant, and unconscionable. It makes me livid to read about him, and I wonder how is it possible he still is in office.  The American people should be livid also.  The thought of stealing 1.7 BILLION dollars from a 40 trillion dollar national debt is unthinkable.  If Trump's goal was to achieve the same notoriety of Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler or Carl Marx through sheer evil intent, he has succeeded.
