Find your courage

Someone in my comments said "capitulation brings no safety" and that is something we all must understand. They will crush us and kill us no matter what. The only option is to join together and stop this madness. Find your courage, America.

This is political courage

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

This is an American patriot

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Now is a time for courage

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Compare and contrast

What has she got that they ain't got?  Courage!

It would have been easy for my Congressional Representative, Elissa Slotkin, who won her first election last November as a Democrat in a red district, to have remained on the sidelines as the revelations of Trump's traitorous quid pro quo with the Ukrainian President came to light.  She could have proclaimed that she wasn't certain it rose to the level of impeachable offenses, and that the people of her district, MI-08, sent her to Washington to help solve their problems, and not get involved in political quibbling.

Instead, Rep. Slotkin saw Trump's actions for what they are:  a direct threat to our Constitution, our rule of law, and our democracy and she boldly called for Trump's impeachment, despite the difficulty it will present when she runs for re-election next year, and despite the fact that it literally puts her political career in jeopardy.

Compare her political courage to that of republicans, who in light of all the evidence before them are either choosing to ignore or making excuses for Trump's actions with regard to the Ukraine, all in the name of saving their political asses.

When it comes to republicans, it seems their newfound strategy when the going gets tough in the Trump era is to tuck tail and run.

Doesn't bode too well for the future of our country, does it?
