What the Republicans have done and continue to do devastates our moral and psychic sense of ourselves as right-thinking (moral, conscious) Americans. There will come a reckoning for DJT and his enablers and it can’t come soon enough.

In the meantime, time to rewatch Judgment at Nuremberg.

Thank you, Beth!

You're welcome. There better be a reckoning for this country to move forward with its soul intact--or who are we? As it is, it will take decades to build back our trust on the world stage.

Def watch Judgement at Nuremberg. It couldn't be more timely. Brilliant!

Thanks!!!

This is a powerful piece, Beth. Thank you for it. The text from the film The Nuremberg Trial is chilling in its applicability to our current situation. As you note in your piece, both the Nuremberg trials and Watergate apply here. It astonishes and aggrieves me that people with power and money and the personal safety to object and still walk away intact are choosing to stay silent and support Trump's depravity and illegal acts. That combined with the poisonous enablers he has chosen well for their lack of a moral center and willingness to do whatever is asked of them is shocking and demoralizing. I am surprised to see that congresspeople I thought would take a stand are not only doing nothing, they are defending the madman in the oval office.

Absolutely. You and I both grew up with integrity as part of our family’s core. Watching the degradation of our leaders and the complete moral collapse of the GOP Congresspeople is astonishing. And they act like it’s nothing. They will go down in history as cowards. And the Trump Regime will be the most corrupt.
