Though we should probably be thankful that he is such a "f&*king moron (Rex Tillerson, Trump’s former Secretary of State, coming out of that very first cabinet meeting). If Trump weren't so utterly stupid and incompetent, he would have completed the destruction of America within the first or second year.

It's really sad when Americans fondly remember George W. Bush levels of stupid.

Giuliani says that millions of votes should get thrown out because two people were prevented from voting (they weren’t offered the chance to fix defects in their ballots). But they aren’t suing the people who prevented them because they did nothing wrong.

So much for their story that they want all of the legal votes to be counted. It has been obvious from the start they want legal votes thrown out, so it isn't at all surprising that they are now overtly arguing for that very thing.

so today (12/15) Putin & McTurdle have both congratulated Biden for winning the election.

Once McTurdle heard Trump's top supporter fold the tent he knew it was safe for Republicans to do the same.

Given breaking news on Russia (hacking and poisoning) this one makes me wonder just how deep into US politics the Kremlin’s bear claw reaches.

There's a documentary on that.

I really hope that ordinary Republicans finally understand what they've done.

More to the point, let's hope they care.

The far right extremists are as troublesome as the far left idealogues.

Far left ideologues haven't stormed Capital Hill as part of an overt insurrection. Big difference.

You guys think they are worse, but there are not as many uneducated nationalist rednecks as there are pissed of minorities and feminists whose major crime is ignoring the authority of God and placing themselves as such.

The fact you think it is a crime to not be Christian is pretty scary.

We need to be aware of painting the opposing political spectrum from our own with too broad a brush.
I am so tired of the political division in our country. Both extremes need to move towards the middle. Nationally first and globally second. And for God sake be honest with what spirit runs your head (and heart)

This moral relativism is pathetic. Elected Democrats have not stirred up an insurrection. Republicans did. There is no comparison.

Each side thinks they are the moral one and that the other side is evil. Thats what I see.

That's not it at all. Democrats are not stirring up an insurrection. Joe Biden didn't call a gathering of the most violent left wing activists and tell them to march on a police building that was then lit on fire. No Democratic elected official did anything close to that.

Secondly, police abuse and racial inequalities within the justice system are a real thing, not a made up conspiracy theory about voter fraud. People peacefully protesting for equal treatment under the law is exactly what Americans should be doing. How is that immoral?

My Summary For The Time Vault

Dear people of the future, here are the lenses you need to use in order to bring the Trump presidency into focus.

1. Psychological projection. What he accused everyone else of doing is actually what he was trying to do.

2. People actually believed Fox News. I know, sounds crazy, but they did.

3. Evangelical Christians of the early 2000's favored power over values.

4. Yes, that is makeup and a comb over. Probably a diaper, too.
