Millennial on the State of our Union: It's like the fall of the Roman Empire but with WiFi

I recently interviewed political activist, writer, poet, singer Eleanor Goldfield on Politics Done Right. I asked her about her feeling about the state of our country. I thought she was going to give a short answer that was more on the things-just-stink side. She went much more in depth than expected.

The Mueller report was released on Friday. Just a few minutes ago Attorney General made it clear as far as he is concerned the report was an exoneration on both Russian Collusion and Obstruction of justice. So, the fix is in. It makes what Goldfield said in the interview below that more prescient.

That began the road to autocratic rule. The empire's eventual fall took several more centuries.
