3. This is from Jan 2020 or before, so about the TRUMP WH INSIDERS' tell-alls?

You know, rushing to cash in at the end of that dangerously depraved and destructive presidency?

5. Funny and Sad...we are lead by cowards. Democracy is in danger because there are too many cowards

in leadership roles.

There are always going to be crooks everywhere, the crooks are usually a leg up to the police, we do not live in a "Minority Report" kind of world where the police can predict crimes, and thank the universe for that, but the bottom line is that the police do fight the crooks and eventually many of them go to jail or are killed, but in Washington the crooks continue to roam the halls of the Capitol, the former criminal-in-chief, trump-the-buffoon is still at large (although we all know where he is), and they keep telling us that "it is hard to indict an ex-president"...NO, IT IS NOT, just follow the rule of law and you can indict the buffoon for his many crimes and treasonous acts, it really is not that difficult!

Yes, now we are getting all these books, and all these people talking about the horrors that most of us with three fingers on our foreheads knew were happening of the things they saw and lived but were too afraid to do anything about.

We have to live with the cowards now telling all their stories, and I for one do want to hear all of them. But FU cowards.

6. Sometimes it is not "COWARDS"..but "TIME"..Law enforcement needs "SOLID PROOF" to indict and convict

...With a very famous person, (in this case..Most Famous)...the proof needs to be absolutely positive..

....Since I believe the proof is there...Trump will be gotten.....Why? ...

...Law Enforcement likes to get the ....big fish with absolute proof...and guess what????

..DONALD TRUMP IS THE BIGGEST FISH OUT THERE...NO ONE IS BIGGER AND MORE DESIRABLE TO BE CAUGHT, CONVICTED,
AND PUT IN PRISON...repeat.......Donald Trump is the biggest fish out there...they will get him with absolute proof...

....Give the FBI ..".TIME" to get the ..."ABSOLUTE PROOF"... the FBI will get the proof..and convict..

Justice matters.

12. And that is why "Profiles in Courage" is a single volume. (stolen from a fellow DUer)

With fascism knocking on our door they stood by and said nothing. Only the few caught up in the Ukraine deal spoke out.

So sick of all these people telling about the traitorous regime, but no one did anything so it amounts to nothing.

14. Let's say that the day after Trump first downplayed the virus in public
Thu Sep 16, 2021, 09:54 AM
Sep 2021

Woodward went public with what Trump said.

1) Woodward gets attacked by Trump and the huge right-wing media apparatus
2) CNN does multiple "both sides" features that evening
3) Trump does something or tweets something crazy that night
4) Dems wring their hands & promise to investigate

The news cycle moves on to whatever Trump said or tweeted in #3 above and the story is gone from the news cycle

Remember - the story about Alex Azar warning Trump about covid multiple times in January came out in early 2020 and it amounted to a whisper in a hurricane.

and nothing happened, people would have criticized him for not speaking up more forcefully or not speaking up in the right way or for using the wrong platform.
