Does the Gazette not support checks and balances or the Constitution of these formerly United States? I strongly object to the editorial cartoon of June 25 where the Democrats are characterized as an old fuddy-duddy mule asking President Donald Trump if he had permission to slay the dragon of Iran’s nuclear effort. The bombing was unconstitutional. And in fact, the dragon is hardly slain: a more accurate image would be that of a childish Trump saying he solved the problem by hitting the hornet’s nest with a baseball bat, but there is a swarm of angry hornets ready to descend on him (us!). The Democratic Party is desperately trying to claw back our democracy and civility from this lawless, grifting, cruel administration.
