Congress and President Biden today were given a lesson on how a democracy should behave. Any American watching Zelensky who saw the video was given a lesson in how ordinary people in a democracy work together, how ordinary people can be brave, how ordinary people value democracy.
What big action has Congress taken lately? Well, it got rid of Standard Time so we are on “daylight savings time” all year long. Whoa!
What big action has the Executive branch taken lately? The President called Putin a war criminal. That’s gotta hurt.
What big action have the citizens of the U.S. taken lately? Well, if somebody comes from Missouri to Pennsylvania to get an abortion and I aid her, Missouri can ask for my extradition to that state for trial. On another subject, we still have one of the lowest vaccination rates of any country.
Unfortunately, most Americans never even saw Zelensky’s speech.
