Hillel the Elder opined 1800 years ago about valuable lessons in life. “If I am not my own advocate? Who will advocate for me? … If I am only advocating for myself? What am I.” Well, the answer to the second question is clear … If I only advocate for myself, then I am Franco and Mussolini and Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Erdogan and Kim and … yes … Trump.
Hillel ends his aphorisms with: “If not now? Then, when.” There is a time for action.
Speaker Pelosi is two Heart-Attacks away from the Presidency. For me? It's time for House Speaker Pelosi to have a publicly aired State of the Republic Address.
ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, MSNBC, CNN ... all!
She needs to address the danger to the Republic of a psychologically erratic, destructive and corrupt President. Fuck the niceties. It’s time. No more fancy words. No more arguments. No more quibbling over whether to impeach or not. Tell the nation that you lead about how the American Way of Governance is being threatened by a runaway President and his sycophantic minions.
Nadler will do his thing but Speaker Pelosi must speak for us! Advocate for us … NOW!
