1. Great question, Charles. Our country has failed in profound ways. And I’m not talking about electing an incompetent, egomaniacal, mean-spirited conman. Sadly you can fool some of the people some of the time. And Trump fooled enough of the people to get elected . . .
2. Rather our country’s profound failure lies in its elected politicians and gov’t officials who refuse to hold accountable a dangerous, unfit president. Think about it - Trump expressly indicated that he takes Putin’s word over our own intelligence community leaders regarding...
3. The North Korean threat to our national security. No one can argue that this behavior is anything other than dangerous and un-American. Yet, the Republicans, to quote Adam Schiff, ‘think it’s OK.’ Is our gov’t doing anything about it? I sure as heck hope so. Once we learned...
4. That there was an open counterintelligence investigation into whether Trump was compromised by Russia, I came to believe that our intelligence community simultaneously put safety measures in place to guard against Trump sending our country over a cliff, figuratively speaking..
5. There are many, MANY patriots inside our government that understand the need to protect the American people against all threats, foreign and domestic. Even when the American President is the threat. ESPECIALLY when the American President is the threat. One example . . .
6. Of that patriotism inside our government is Tricia Newbold, the whistleblower who exposed how our country’s security has been compromised by Trump granting security clearances to people who are completely unworthy of those clearances. I firmly believe there are...
7. Many others inside our government who remain covert in their mission to protect America from being destroyed from the inside out by Donald Trump. The fact that they are covert means we don’t see the work they’re doing to protect the US. But I believe they are there . . .
8.keeping us safe to the best of their ability. Patriotism comes in many forms. Sometimes it looks like resigning from gov’t rather than enabling a criminal president. Sometimes it looks like whistling-blowing to expose presidential corruption that endangers our national security
9. And sometimes it looks like remaining in government service and working from within to protect and defend. I believe there are enough patriots to carry us through the end of Trump era in tact (though much worse for wear). At least I hope that’s the case . . .
