Vintage Hippie. Helped organize to end Vietnam War using mimeographs (look it up), paper road maps, and bags of change for phone booths (look it up). What we're doing now? Piece of cake by comparison. BTW courage IS contagious. Corruption need not be.

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes:
Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal.
Dispense favors on Trump's political allies.
Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents.
It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.
