We have to roll up our sleeves and deal with this ourselves.

Mueller didn't "save" us, Congress didn't "save" us in the impeachment, the 14th Amendment will not "save" us, Jack Smith will not "save" us, the Supreme Court will not "save" us.

We have to work together and save ourselves. It is the only way.
