Where are our democratic elected officials. I hear them asking for $$ [View all]

I hear them asking to not tune out. Yet they are silent in their words against Trump. Is it fear. Is it politics.

Did they lie to us when said they believed he was a threat to democracy?

Some even asking to give him a pardon for everything.

Being cordial and nice when he would do no such thing in return.

Most of all the silence is deafening.

What the hell is going on with our party?
