It sickened me to see Zelensky arrive in Miami and not one American was there to greet him.
It sickens me that Trump called Putin to receive the dos and don’ts before the meeting.
And it sickens me Zelensky had to sit across the table from Trump and his Russian assets.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.
Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.
