Killa Con and his goons would have had to concede last week if the media had

called the attempted coup just what it was. They finally used the coup word and here ended nearly three weeks of madness.
That monster and his enablers must pay.

I'm so relieved - the institutions held - they need serious reform. This must not happen again

right before the election season, before covid...Jill Wine-Banks said with great certainty:"The courts will hold."
It has been echoed many times since. I am thankful that they have indeed held.

You are 100% right. This can never happen again.

But I will tell you, I've had some sleepless nights worrying about this. Especially with all of the toxic unqualified judges that Moscow Mitch has managed to cram into the judicial system.

Best thing would be to end the EC, then none of this could happen. Failing that, reforms to prevent any whiff of what could have happened must be done. There should not be even a possibility of thwarting the will of the voters.
