Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

Hard to believe that this is coming up in the news again. Trump wants to disrupt the midterms because he knows he’s going to lose. There was nothing to find then and nothing today. Trump has unraveled. He is unstable. He is unfit. Miller is pulling the strings.

Had the words of the preamble to the US Constitution floating through my head when I woke up late last night/early this morning. Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock for teaching those words to so many. The videos may have been cheesy, but they worked. Never thought a president would dishonor these words so.
