When will Republicans and Democrats put an end to the mess that is called the Trump administration and when will Donald Trump be impeached?

That is a serious question whether you are a Democrat or Republican. For the good of our nation, for the good of our democracy, for the security of the United States, this circus must close down, and sanity, dignity, honor and respect brought back to our country. Do we enjoy being an embarrassment to the world? Do any of us accept not being the leader we once were in world?

The “there” is there now after the revelation that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort met with a Kremlin-linked attorney in June 2016 after being told she could pass along damaging information on Hillary Clinton. This meeting took place in Trump Tower, and the elder Trump was there at the time, but his son claims he never told his father about the meeting. Is that believable?

Prior to this acknowledged meeting, remember the denials of meetings with Russians or knowledge about Russian meetings by the president and his associates. The lies have been exposed. There is a “there” there, and only a fool would think otherwise.

Are we going to wait until Congress “follows the money” while our nation falls deeper into the swamp? Or will both parties finally close this circus down so we can once again hold our heads high as loyal, true Americans?
