When the great day comes

I truly hope that at least one member of Congress, either in the House or Senate, will have the spine to stand up and speak the truth about Trump.

For inspiration that can watch the speech Glenda Jackson gave in the House of Commons two days after Thatcher died. (Someone should have given this speech when Reagan died).

An excerpt:

In coming to the basis of Thatcherism, I come to the spiritual part of what I regard as the desperately wrong track down which Thatcherism took this country. We were told that everything I had been taught to regard as a vice—and I still regard them as vices—was, in fact, under Thatcherism, a virtue: greed, selfishness, no care for the weaker, sharp elbows, sharp knees, all these were the way forward. We have heard much, and will continue to hear over next week, about the barriers that were broken down by Thatcherism, the establishment that was destroyed.

I heard some fireworks earlier tonight, too early for anyone to be setting off fireworks. I thought, "Could it be?"

2. The Lady and the Chair stand on principle

We are not hearing that in our politics these several years. We've got little moral ballast in the well. The Brits just do it better. Their law stands on common law and common sense. Ours stands on bombast.
