Can we just throw a serape over the menace, chuck him in the Pen and call it a day?

For context: during our children’s formative years, we relocated to the countryside. Once settled, my son asked if he could bring a chick home from school. It was all cuteness and a wisp of feathers, so fluffy & yellow. That little bugger grew up to be a big ol’ Araucana rooster who we fearfully referred to as ‘mean’. We had to go into his pen with a broom, because he would come at you when you went to retrieve his feed bowl.

One day, our bad attitude rooster fled his coop. Methodically, he set off terrorizing the neighborhood - for weeks!! The neighbors complained because it chased them around their yard. After moments of this anxiety-ridden confrontation, they capitulated and went running into their houses. The kids would ride by on their bikes and the ornery bird would chase them as they fled, screaming and flailing their legs. Nearing the third week, I saw him come down our driveway. Just wanting the whole situation to end, I grabbed a newly gifted flannel blanket and threw it over him. In one fell swoop, I scooped him up and returned him to his (newly reinforced) pen.

I’ve been thinking along those lines when it comes to the incompetent Grifter-in-Chief that we’re all stuck with. ~ How long is going to take us, to throw a blanket over this overfed, barn sour mule? I mean just what will be the final straw? Can anyone guess? He’s done so many unimaginably corrupt and inhumane things that I can’t possibly imagine where the defining line will finally be drawn?

Here’s our revolutionary cry! A tyrannical government taxes it’s constituency, but does nothing that attributes to their benefit. This self-dealing administration does not represent the needs and wishes of the people.

Taxation without representation! So why are we funding that?

Here's the articles that led to the thought process..
