Since November 3, GOP lawmakers and their constituents have pushed actual lies in favor of overturning the election results. Whether the fringe found Trump or Trump found the fringe, the movement is real and increasingly dangerous.

- Lawrence Walsh letting Reagan and Bush sr off without impeachment of REAL crimes
- Obama ignoring Bush/Cheney/rumsfeld war crimes
- and now the entire GOP and trump criminal family


we have tools and laws, our leaders chose NOT to pursue. I want to be hopeful but nothing over past 2 years gives much hope as the House was made a joke by trump and the gOP


but you never know. Perhaps THIS time???

as the incumbent who figured out how to be the biggest loser. IMO with Biden dominating the MSM, cable and social media coverage (except for trump's legal and debt problems), his loserness' appeal will fade. Having the WH and it's bully pulpit and massive media coverage is what's fueling his popularity with his base, which btw, is only the same 35 percent of the voter base as it's alway been because he couldn't expand it.

SCOTUS has shut him down twice this week. He's toast with a big "L" on his forehead. His appeal will wan soon enough.

Let's check back in three months.
