I've always made it a premise of this blog that I would write every day if I was able. Yesterday, the weather was lovely, there was a large dead tree to fell, quiet time...and the idea of sitting down and commenting on the current state of our politics...again...was just too much.
When you have the widespread assumption that Trump and his legal team are laying the groundwork to fire Mueller, and then you have the GOP quibbling over how or whether to protect Mueller's independence, it's difficult to have much faith in our two party system. Parties should be, well, partisan. That conflict is essential to how our governmental system functions. But Trump is so far outside the normsand practices of our previous chief executives, that something has to be done. The pants wetting fear that most GOP members of Congress feel over Trump voters, especially the Deplorables, effectively immobilizes the legislative branch.
If Trump does fire Mueller, here is the link to the nearest protest. I'm not usually one for political street theater, but this is serious.
