It came to me so very clearly after trudging through some of the Mueller testimony aftermath that we are in the hands of a bully. I've long ago realized that our Dotard-in-Chief had the emotional development of a young adolescent, but what evaded my understanding somehow was that his ruthless but immature manner of conducting business is contagious. The scions of Washington, the denizens of the "Swamp" as Trump often bellows are cowards. That's his secret sauce, that's where his potency comes from. He saw that and like the savage he is, he went for the throat. The fact that he is himself a man riddled with fears and is obviously always felt that he was inadequate has only made his over compensation all the more vigorous and now for the country dangerous.
I hear that after Mueller didn't come to their rescue with fire-breathing homilies to justice that the Democrats are even more reluctant to do what is obviously necessary -- impeach the President of the United States for well-documented violations of his oath of office, and of the law which applies to all American citizens. It's now clear why "The Squad" has stolen the thunder of the Democratic leadership, there was little leadership to steal. A majority of American citizens realize that their President is a man of low character who is long-past deserving of opponents who can match his vigor. If the Democrats do not impeach the President they will have failed in their primary function as elected leaders, to protect their constituents from enemies domestic.
The bully is powerful only because he or she is given the power which they ought not have. Either it is through the capitulation of their rivals or the collapse of other authorities to maintain control. Democrats were given control of the House of Representatives to put a block on the predations of the Republican party. In terms of legislation at least this has largely taken hold, but also the Dems were sent back to Washington to shine a candle on the perfidy of the our pernicious executive branch. And after having shined that light and seen the cockroaches take steps to squash them. Can they do it all without the help of the Senate currently in the clutches of the D-Nothing McConnell, not likely. But they can at the very least try. Elections have consequences but so far the election of 2018 has yielded little but braying and moral condemnations. Punch the bully in the nose as hard as you can. Mueller was never your "daddy" and he is not coming to save you. But he has given you the substance to accomplish the deed. Just do it! Will it knock him on his ass? Not likely, that will come with the election of 2020 if we're fortunate, but failure to act will only embolden the bully.
Rip Off
