terrible resolve".----Japan's Admiral Yamamoto after attacking Pearl Harbor.
Please, let's each resolve to be a part of the "sleeping giant" Barr has just awakened. Do more. Give more. Don't let any opportunity pass to make it clear that YOU will vote Democratic from the top of the ballot to the bottom.
I will have no friends who do not oppose Trump. I will not knowingly break bread with any Trump supporter, including family. If it ever was, ignorance is no longer an excuse.
Let's "leave it all on the field".
Resist.

Don't forget, it took less than 45 months from Pearl Harbor to the Japanese surrender, and almost all of that at the same time the US deployed and sustained forces many times as large in the Atlantic and Europe.
I'm repeating myself, but I don't see this as a win for the Trump Administration...
Mueller punted to Barr, and Barr punted to Congress. Neither one was a profile in courage, obviously.
The only patriots in all this are the Democrats in Congress, and given the insight into how Trump does business, they have plenty to go after.
Bottom line, Trump hired a national security advisor, campaign chair, deputy campaign chair, personal attorney/national party finance co-chair, and a dozen other losers who have consistently proven themselves untrustworthy for the positions they were given - and the GOP as an institution and organization have accepted that bottom line, which indicts them as just as much as it has Trump, Pence, McConnell, etc.
Comes down to the reality that Trump is surrounded by crooks that he hired... "I'm not a crook" didn't work for Nixon; I don't see that as really a winning slogan for Trump.
Using Nixon as the template, it's worth remembering Nixon won re-election in '72, despite multiple scandals and the debacle in SE Asia; and yet he didn't finish a second term.
Keep the faith, and keep up the fire
