How is it that we hear nothing from so many Republicans, not to mention Democrats, about the latest shockers coming out of Brussels, Washington and Montana and other places around the world? There should be outrage at a president literally pushing another leader aside in order to get to the front of the line. There should be jaw-dropping outrage over the entire Kushner - Kremlin connection and a demand for Kushner's banishment from Washington. There should be embarrassment and shame from people in Montana who blithely elected a bully to the House of Representatives after watching him beat up a journalist.
But while we hear a few "tsk tsk"s there's nothing else. As one editorial in the NY Times stated, the "Republicans have surrendered the mantle of morality." And the Democrats are just sitting there, perhaps pissed off but not enough of them are calling for any response. We elected these leaders, they are supposed to be speaking for us, and yet we do not hear them speaking at all.
It is so discouraging and depressing and depraved. Proud to be an American? Not so much these days.

Yes. The 'Ugly American' has the spot light again. And, it is sad and disheartening that some people like that image of us.
