"Wow, this is amazing," I find myself whispering as I consider what is happening in our land, and how President Trump and his followers are asserting wrongful power. Yes, I whisper those words upon seeing a story of how of how federal prosecutors of Roger Stone -- President Trump's longtime adviser -- have quickly changed their mind about how much prison time he should receive.
Monday, they recommended seven to nine years. Tuesday, they changed directions, saying that would be, "extreme and excessive," and saying his prison time should be "far less."
Upon the announcement, all four prosecutors in the Stone case withdrew from the case, and one of them resigned his office.
What is going on in America? Have we fallen asleep? Can we not see the danger? Can we not see the wrong? Can we not see the pattern, and how it mirrors what has happened in countries we would not want to follow?
Abuse of office? Of course! But, one impeachment effort has failed, and I do not expect someone to have the courage to stand up and suggest another one. We are so blinded by our love for this president that we see neither wrong nor danger.
So, our nation falls into the hands of the closest thing we have ever had to a dictator.
