quote Plato

“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”/ “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.”/ “Courage is knowing what not to fear.”/ “This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”/PLATO

The mere idea that Senators have decided to break an oath of office, and refuse to abide by their responsibilities as stated in our Constitution and the fact that We The People have not taken to the streets as had the Polish Underground in Warsaw in 1944/the Chinese in Tiananmen Square in 1989, the Berliners demanding the destruction of the Wall in 1989, and the current brave citizens now in mass numbers in Hong Kong who are protesting, is MIND-BOGGLING! An Imperial Presidency is in place, a Political Party is emboldened by bribes and blackmail…arrogant enough to visit our foreign enemies and arrive home with either a bit of laundered money or some outlawed Oligarch’s down payment to build factories for political favors in certain states, and we JUST discuss THIS as just one more broken law! My head is not up my ass, nor is it stuck in the sand. I DEMAND that we abide by our Constitution, as do millions of other Americans, and yet we debate one of the most undebatable issues, something called the truth!
