although, if every person who knew the truth about trump starting 4+ years ago (until today) came forward there would be
different outcomes...

timing and political expediency... potential loss of job, death threats, etc. are all excuses... but, as the meme goes, "If you see something, say something"

thousands of lives could have been saved, we could have preserved our standing in the world, the environment would have been better cared for, the rise in White Nationalism would be tempered, and on and on...

we are in serious trouble as a Country and I wish more people would had come forward sooner... many more than Bob Woodward
