LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Accountability lacking in US

Donald Trump has had zero accountability for any of the real crimes he committed during his presidency and continues to commit through his PAC. American people died defending the Constitution, and defending Americans against seditionists doesn’t rate even a slap on the wrist.

I am appalled at Merrick Garland’s Justice Department. He’s too timid or afraid or frail to do what is necessary. Ditto for New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

These two men could’ve brought about a lot of unity among sane Americans who are scared for the state of our union.

It’s time to take off the gloves, get in the dirt and do their jobs.

In addition, Congress needs to be completely overhauled. There needs to be safety nets in place to weed out candidates with far-right or left-fringe ideas or spread conspiratorial theories.

QAnon candidates are winning elections. What does that tell us? We are under siege and need to do something now. Otherwise, we can look forward to “government” as it was under Trump.

The reason some people want him back is because he did nothing. That meant they could do whatever they wanted because there was no leadership other than Mitch McConnell, Orrin Hatch or Lindsey Graham.

Please wake up, America, and vote these creeps out.
