How is it possible? [View all]

That a nation with perhaps the strongest military in the world, with three separate branches of government, with the power to hold each of them accountable, finds itself enslaved to a tyrant and dictator wannabe?

That permits him to lie, rob, and steal, and even, to betray this nation, and they do not lift a finger to stop him?

How is it that no one can hold him accountable to the laws of our Constitution?

Because a chain is only as strong as the weakest link and a government is only as strong as its weakest branch.

At this time, the weak link in our government that prohibits any oversight and corrupts the entire function of government, is the US Senate.

The person that leads the US Senate is Mitch McConnell, Republican from Kentucky. He, even more than the tyrant in the White House, is responsible for the condition of our nation.

That is the weak link that needs to be fixed immediately.
