The Fear Factor
The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

With everything going on, and itโs a LOT, does anyone (except me) wonder where the Democratic leadership is? The former Democratic leaders? Even any former Republican leaders?
Our democracy is dying daily, and nothing.

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

Not talking about state judges. Federal judges. Without them there to even delay, things are going to get uglier much quicker.
