The Republican Party—that is, the Trumps—made heroes of Patricia and Mark McCloskey, who had menaced peaceful marchers on their St. Louis Street with guns.
The McCloskey property abuts a reform synagogue. Its rabbi, Susan Talve, spoke up and said the McCloskeys are litigious bullies.
In 2013, the synagogue placed beehives along the wall to produce honey for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. One morning they found the hives destroyed and all the bees dead. Mark McCloskey had taken an ax or sledgehammer to them.
His issue? The fence between them sat six inches inside the McCloskey’s property line. The hives were his to wreck.
“He could have picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey, those beehives are on my property,’ and we would have happily moved them,” said Talve.
She said children at the synagogue wept when they heard the news of the hives. The synagogue maintains raised bed gardens on its property that supply some 2,000 pounds of fresh produce to a local food pantry, as well as pear, fig and apple trees.
“We were going to have our own apples and honey for Rosh Hashanah!” she said.
She said the McCloskeys didn’t contact the temple at all before lashing out.
Instead, McCloskey left a note threatening to sue the synagogue for damages if the shattered hives were not removed at once.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
Birds of a feather flock together. Bullies beget bullies. Either we stand together against a bully in the White House and his flock or we let them dominate us. Let us pray together for guidance and inspiration that enable us to become a more perfect union of our diverse people working together to pursue life, liberty, and happiness for everyone. This unified pursuit requires each of us to envision, describe and act to achieve what is possible.
I just viewed this last night.
Jane Fonda interviews Mary Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw3Z2cpOrFQ
This is the best interview with Mary Trump that I have seen.
Mary said that trumpsy dumpsy is a broken man and he needs to be removed from the Oval Office.
I wish the national news would pick up this story. Of course, the McCloskey’s would probably find some way to make the synagogue pay. In our area fences must be inside the property line. The fence also must have the nice side facing the neighboring property. No one would ever think of claiming the right to dictate what happens on the few inches on the opposite side of the fence. The McCloskeys are the type of people who would plant some noxious weed to maintain their rights. A beehive would not fit in a six inch space anyway, so McCloskey had to have trespassed on the synagogue’s property to destroy the hives. What a vile couple.
I doubt that few will agree with me. Some might even think I have gone too far and should be careful what I say, but Trump, his family, his loyalists like the McCloskeys are the reason this country needs a Part 2 to finish the 19th century’s U.S. Civil War that never really ended.
Until that Civil War is fought to its conclusion ridding this country of Trump (and all the other autocrats that are similar to him like Besty DeVos) and his followers, the problems that have plagued America since Lincoln was assassinated by someone just like the McCloskeys we will never be a country free from hate, free from racism, free from poverty with medical care for all.
America was never the land of the free and never will be until all people of every color and persuasion are really free from threats, poverty, and violence.
The 2nd paragraph in the Declaration of Independence supports my thinking.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Therefore, on November 2nd VOTE and abolish Trump’s government that is clearly the corrupt and destructive force mentioned above in that quote. Because if Trump doesn’t lose by a massive landslide, the other choice will be the Civil War, Part 2, and in war, there is no guarantee that rightness will prevail and win.
If Trump doesn’t lose by a landslide, he will insist that the election was rigged and he won’t leave the White House.
I think Trump will say the election is rigged whether he loses by a landslide or a close margin. Al Gore could have contested his election but he chose to concede so as to avoid continued acrimony and even violence. Trump will concede nothing if he loses, he will welcome violence and disruption. This is already a violent country and has been for a long time. It wouldn’t take much more to push us into violent chaos nationwide, especially with these armed right wing militias, (during a pandemic, economic ruin and under the shadow of the disastrous Trump regime).
I’ve been telling my husband this for years!
Unfortunately, hate, racism, threats and violence can’t be totally eradicated, due to free will. ☹️
These two are opportunistic, selfish, sociopaths. Pure and simple.
