Stop Letting the Russians Get Away With It, Mr. Trump

Robert Mueller’s latest indictments show how real the threat to U.S. elections is. When will the White House acknowledge it?

Trump is a sadist.  He is enjoying watching people squirm.
The worst that can happen to him is removal from office.

At that point he would be back in Trump tower.

“Darkest Hour” follows the newly minted Prime Minister Winston Churchill as he recommits Britain to fighting the Nazi threat, and has been nominated for six Oscars. If you enjoyed it in theaters, these six streamable films provide great complements.

I have a jaundiced view of the government of Britain at the moment.

Churchill was the worst wartime leader except for all the others.  I will make an exception for F.D.R.
