Rex Tillerson warns America ... Trump a threat to Democracy

@DGUtley, thanks for salvaging this thread.

The problem is DC as a whole, we have far too many politicians that have been there too long and stopped representing the country a long time ago. With the way districts are made it is extremely hard to unseat a sitting member of Congress.
I am a huge Term limit fan, but I do not see that ever happening

Quite the severe TDS.....if such was the case Hillary and her aides would be locked up. Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Baker, would be locked up. Not to mention plenty of Democrats.

But then credibility was never your strong point.

Tillerson warned on Wednesday that American democracy was threatened by a growing “crisis of ethics and integrity.”“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom,” he said in a commencement address at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va.Even small falsehoods and exaggerations are problematic, Mr. Tillerson said. He did not mention Mr. Trump by name, although the president is prone to both.“When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth even on what may seem the most trivial matters, we go wobbly on America,” he said.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBGU3QXHK_s

*He did not mention Mr. Trump by name, although the president is prone to both.* ............... As are most if not all politicians and public officials and most if not all media. Was Tillerson referring to Trump ?? Sure. Was he referring to policticos and media ?? Sure.

It was Barack Hussein O who DID use the DOJ and FBI as an American Gestapo.
