Where are our former presidents and why are they not speaking out against what is happening? No comment about how Zelenskyy was ambushed and threatened in the Oval Office today? I bet if Carter were alive, he would not have remained silent. So disappointing.

If the Republican congress is so willing to cede its authority to the executive, do they believe that there will never be another presidential election where a Democratic candidate might win? They would not give this kind of power to a Democratic president. Is this ultimately their goal?
