Dear editor:

A few years back, having the government require us to wear masks to protect ourselves and our communities from deadly diseases was considered a tyrannical overreach of federal power. Now though, sending armed soldiers into cities to quell nonexistent “rampant crime” is OK? 

Sen. John Barrasso claims to be a doctor — an orthopedic surgeon, I believe. I imagine if he saw someone with a compound fracture of an arm or leg he'd be able to diagnose that pretty easily just by looking at the injury. But RFK Jr. can look at a kid and immediately see right down to the DNA level (if one is to believe something as sciencey as DNA) that the kid is sick. Why didn't Sen. Barrasso go to THAT medical school? Oh that's right, RFK Jr didn't go to medical school, he just knows this stuff intuitively — God told him, I suppose.

The war in Ukraine isn't over, the war in Israel (if that's what we're calling the starvation of entire populations) isn't over, my grocery bill keeps going up, the national debt is increasing (we haven't even STARTED talking about “getting rid of wasteful spending”) and I'm sure if Wyoming had more than one congressional district, Republicans would be gerrymandering, sure in the knowledge that somehow the seventeen Democrats living here would steal an election.

And the shootings continue ...
