Members MsAnn Posted May 2, 2019 Members Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) The ongoing erosion of a Constitution and a Democracy. Worth the read... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/01/opinion/william-barr-testimony.html James Comey: How Trump Co-opts Leaders Like Bill Barr Accomplished people lacking inner strength can’t resist the compromises necessary to survive this president. By James Comey "You can’t say this out loud — maybe not even to your family — but in a time of emergency, with the nation led by a deeply unethical person, this will be your contribution, your personal sacrifice for America. You are smarter than Donald Trump, and you are playing a long game for your country, so you can pull it off where lesser leaders have failed and gotten fired by tweet. Of course, to stay, you must be seen as on his team, so you make further compromises. You use his language, praise his leadership, tout his commitment to values. And then you are lost. He has eaten your soul." Edited May 2, 2019 by MsAnn AdamSmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
