Our country is fighting against a large group of people who have been mesmerized by a charismatic narcissist.

I think about THE SWORN OATH that our elected officials took to (above EVERYTHING ELSE POLITICAL) uphold our constitution. Showing up at Donald's criminal trial by congress people, particularly OUR SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, is the most repulsive abuse of their roles as elected leaders I've seen in 60 years. I also think about how our enemies and allies perceive what's going on with our country. Putin must love it. Our allies must be absolutely frightened and flumoxed that we're going right off the rails.
