The market is pretty well saturated with books. What it's not saturated with is people willing to do something about it at the time it's happening. We need more Vindmans, fewer Espers.

[Leonaza]

You know what also is a threat to democracy? Those who withhold vital information for book deals instead of invoking the 25th amendment

[barrymacochener]

The " Romper-room " background music is on point, well done LP !!!

[rickwhite]

Esper was a _coward_ when he didn't speak up before. But his goal was to make money on a book, not protect his own country.

[catsmeow]

Another Republican a book, and with the same message, was afraid to leave because someone worse may have taken my job..."

[fnregistration]

He wasn't/isn't the only threat. All his enablers and sycophants. Everyone who kept their heads buried in the sand. People like you, Mark Esper.

[pontificusvascillious]

"what else can you conclude brett"
something's very WRONG with the 60 to 70 million who voted for him ...

[Devo]

Too bad Esper waited until he had a book to sell, before speaking the truth.

[thjbird]

We would never know this unless someone could make a lot of money spilling the beans.
The beauty of capitalism !!💰💰💵💰🤑

[missmichelann]

So brave. So brave to say this a year and a half after happened when he's promoting a book.

Time to revise the oath of office to include something like "If I observe corruption, criminal behavior, or unfitness for office in my superiors, I will notify the proper authorities and take appropriate action if they do not, "

[loufher]

Even the worst addict can have a moment of clarity. Even the most indoctrinated cult member can occasionally see the light.

When you're part of a toxic regime led by a rogue leader, and let's not forget, the most powerful leader on the planet, it really is a tall order to expect every individual to do the right thing. No one was willing to rebel as a collective. So now we're inundated with self serving book deals, but the upshot is that the truth is getting out there in time for the primaries. At this point, nothing should come as a surprise from the four year horror show. The important thing is that it never happens again. Adam Kinzinger has stated that there are people moving heaven and earth that it doesn't. Let's do our part.

How Trump can still be allowed to run for any public office let alone POTUS, shows just how broke the system really is.

[nunchucknads]

the real question should have been: "Do you think that the Republican Party is a threat to democracy?"

[ChessInstructorSF]

Someone needs to grow some and stand up to him and put him in jail. Enough is enough!

[yknot]

He's an even bigger threat now that he's out of office and remains unpunished for his illegal activities.

[batgurrl]

Short, sweet and to the point TLP,
Yes we know.
What’s more important than the truth is a book deal.

[mildol]

In my opinion. Yes, and Esper did too by NOT bringing this information out sooner❗️

[richardalexander]

Too bad Mark's book deal was more important than his oath to the constitution.
