The destruction of our democracy will not come from Trump. It will come from fear.

The Republicans in congress are terrified of Trump. If Trump told them to kiss his ass, they would ask what cheek?

The Democrats know Trump must be impeached. They have the evidence that Trump is the most corrupt president in our history. They hesitate out of fear. They fear it will not work. They fear it will hurt them in the election.

Then we have Robert Mueller. A man who has lived a courageous life being led by fear. He was afraid to force Trump to testify. It would take too long. He wrote a report that proved Trump is the most corrupt president in history and a major threat to our country. He could not say it. He is afraid to testify to the people who paid him to do a job.

Mueller had the ability to take Trump down. He was afraid to take the shot. Buck fever.

Home of the Brave?

...those words still resonate, 86 years later, in a different era with different circumstances. But it's as true now as it was then. I wish we had a President as fearless as FDR was...

I think this is what has happened wth him. A man of his caliber should NOT be afraid of the likes of Donald Trump.
