When the great day comes [View all]

I truly hope that at least one member of Congress, either in the House or Senate, will have the spine to stand up and speak the truth about Trump.

For inspiration that can watch the speech Glenda Jackson gave in the House of Commons two days after Thatcher died. (Someone should have given this speech when Reagan died).
