This is just so moving, Robert. I would like to see this as a guest opinion in every US newspaper!
Contrast courage of these two, relatively low paid black women to elite US Congressmen and Senators who were too scared to confront the leader of their party trying to overturn an election and remain too scared today. It’s really quite something.

Cathy, you point to yet another phenomenon of the times. I ask frequently, “How is it that so many Congressional members can continue to stand in silence?”
Where are the “profiles of courage” in this most urgent time as our democracy is under assault? The answer, of course, was written by Robert today. I believe there are many more citizens whose voices will be heard in the months ahead.
John, what you wrote here also speaks to the fact that, after certain Republican members of Congress pushed against an impeachment inquiry, every one of them still voted in lockstep to start it. Hunter Biden stood out among these lowest of the low by giving that six-minute speech to the public about their depraved hypocrisy and lack of respect for other human beings. I think we’re going to see a sizable number of congressional seats flip to Democratic in 2024 simply because of this outrageous act. Outside of the MAGA cult, people are mighty sick of this nonsense.
I really believe that saving democracy will be done mainly by people, not by politicians. Good leaders will help us but we have to stand together and stand up on our own. Somehow I believe we will.

Cathy, you point to yet another phenomenon of the times. I ask frequently, “How is it that so many Congressional members can continue to stand in silence?”
Where are the “profiles of courage” in this most urgent time as our democracy is under assault? The answer, of course, was written by Robert today. I believe there are many more citizens whose voices will be heard in the months ahead.
We shall overcome.
John, what you wrote here also speaks to the fact that, after certain Republican members of Congress pushed against an impeachment inquiry, every one of them still voted in lockstep to start it. Hunter Biden stood out among these lowest of the low by giving that six-minute speech to the public about their depraved hypocrisy and lack of respect for other human beings. I think we’re going to see a sizable number of congressional seats flip to Democratic in 2024 simply because of this outrageous act. Outside of the MAGA cult, people are mighty sick of this nonsense.
Agreed.
I really believe that saving democracy will be done mainly by people, not by politicians. Good leaders will help us but we have to stand together and stand up on our own. Somehow I believe we will.
