In a few years, one may not be able to recognize the United States, as undemocratic forces are fighting to gain political power by any means. Does the United States has the moral authority to promote democracy overseas while dismantling it at home? In several states controlled by Republicans, they are putting people in positions of power to suppress and nulify votes if the elections are not in their favor. Wake up people! Your democracy is about to be stolen from right under your nose. Do You care?

The nation now has information, the immediate former president of the United States, some of his then Cabinet members, and current members of the United States Congress were looking into methods to stage a coup on the incoming administration. In any self respecting nation, all those people would be arrested and tried for crimes against the state. It is still not too late to charge those people for the attempted coup and the lost to lives. Attorney General Merrick Garland, time is of the essence. You need to act with dispatch. Those people MUST be brought to book. They all took an oat to uphold the United States Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. They acted as local enemies against the United States for which there MUST be no pardon.

Rich and Frank both ask about finding purpose in retirement for themselves, partners, and others.
