Rachel Maddow was just saying.....

that more foreign leaders have congratulated Pres.-Elect Biden than have repuglikans.

Of course--these are the same folks that still haven't gotten over Darwin. Or Appomattox. What do we expect?

A bit.

She said if you can’t look up because it’s too scary, then look at your feet and just take it one step at a time. (Paraphrasing)

"Never offer your hand to a rabid dog unless you are prepared to CLUB IT into submission. You can substitute 'republikan' for 'rabid dog,' and it still works."
