When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you are only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
I thought that Rudy Giuliani was hired to defend Trump in the Russia investigation. He seems to think that he is the appointed authority and spokesman on North Korea, Israel, the economy, the next election and everything else.
According to Jeff Sessions, who cited the Bible for support, anything Trump and his Republican government decide to do is right and good, because God has ordained it.

Our government is so dysfunctional because half of the politicians gain victories by sabotaging the government and then claiming the government doesn’t work.
The tongue has no bones, but it’s strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words. They may sound satisfying at first, but after a while they start choking you.
