To the editor: President building more than an arch

toledoblade.com · 2hShare

Wow! A dream come true for an autocrat wanting to become a dictator! Build a huge arch in our capital and fill it with snipers and drones. To begin with this seems to be an effort to get the courts to approve the arch, the same way they did the ballroom — declare it’s a national emergency; protect the President, protect the city. But those same snipers and drones could just as easily be directed toward protesters and inconvenient demonstrations. It’s way past time to put a stop to this madness!
