11. "By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation." Edmund Burke

About tRump's Congressional sycophants: It doesn't matter what they say now. The damage has been done. It no longer matters whether they desert him, stand by his side or plant their lips on his ass through eternity.

They made their choice. They knew what they were doing. They helped tRump and Russia in their attempt to destroy our Democratic Republic. Meanwhile...
There are still babies locked in cages. There are more hungry children than ever. We're approaching a quarter million dead Americans. If R's want to whine about their choice they should have the decency to do it in a place where the rest of us are not subjected to the bullshit. They don't need to worry about buying groceries yet they won't pass a bill to help hungry families suffering from Trump's Covid19 failure.

That being said, Dan Rather is a national treasure. I love him.
