The lack of courage and honor in our country is going to catch up to us.

What we are doing as a people, as a nation is not sustainable.

The Republicans in congress are terrified of Trump. No courage , no honor. They have broken their oath of office over and over again by not protecting us. Republicans lie about everything. It is scary. The Democrats fear impeaching a so called president, who should be impeached, because they believe it will cost them the election. They believe an election will fix everything. Good luck with that.

Mueller proved Trump was guilty and feared saying it out loud. We were attacked by Russia and nothing is being done about it. There may be multiple attacks on our 2020 election because it works and we as a people do not protect ourselves. That's the truth.

The American people in general don't care, don't know what the hell is going on, vote against their best interests, swallow propaganda like pigs at a trough, cheer lies, boo facts. Besides that everything is fine.

America has become a LIE. It breaks my heart. All we need is some courage, some honor, then we can fix it. Where have all the men of courage and honor gone?

Amongst some of my Dem friends and family, I see despair taking hold. Disillusionment regarding the current strategy to not attempt impeachment. As they've told me, "we would rather go down with a fight than not try at all".

While they hold back, waiting for the perfectly framed opportunity to act, or remain small fearing reprisals, the other side is consolidating it's grip. In time, the U.S. will become just like the bulk of the world, where strong men and draconian cults dictate. If America goes, to where do you think you're going to flee? Australia? Canada? New Zealand? They would roll up in no time under the force a fascist U.S. would project.

So be bold!
