Commentary: Democracy Is not a spectator sport

I can understand our collective need to protect the integrity of our nation’s president, but not when the president is a certified habitual liar, and certainly not when he blocks an investigation into his crimes. Donald Trump is ripping the United States apart.

You, the taxpayers, are footing the bill for this endless revolving door of attorneys on the legal team defending this president.

• It would be crazy for him to openly obstruct justice by firing special prosecutor Robert Mueller. But then, we know Donald Trump is unstable.

• We didn’t think he would actually pull out of the global climate change agreement, but he did, separating this country from the entire world.
