Has Trump declared war on the will of the American people?

The people clearly voted against him. At last count, he was behind by slightly more than six million votes.

He wants state legislators to force electors to vote for him. He has met personally with Republicans from Michigan, with plans to meet with those Republicans from Pennsylvania, also.

He is in the middle of his psychotic autocrat dream. He wants a coup. Mostly, he wants to win. It really doesn't matter how he wins, so long as he wins. He doesn't think about any concession.

Republican leaders are doing everything they can do to appease him. But, he has them by the testicles. It is torturous. It is embarrassing that they do not have the courage to rid themselves of this loser.

A bunch of soft, cottony, fluffy snowflakes.

What a bunch of whiners!

Yeah, we'll get our guns if Trump wants us to. We will die for that man.

He was robbed! It was fraud! It doesn't matter what the "fake news" says...

Democrats had to cheat to win.

Their feelings have been hurt tremendously.

It's a sad time. The con artist made them feel so good. And now, they will have to listen to Sleepy Joe Biden.

It will be so boring!

Why cannot the Congress do anything about this scofflaw that is wrecking our Constitution...?

...and ignoring our laws?

Yeah, they tried impeachment. But that was then. This is now.

In my opinion, it is not acceptable to do nothing under these circumstances.

The Congress and the Senate both are given the authority to deal with reckless executives.

They can censure. They can impeach. They can convict. They can publicly criticize with a stern warning to straighten his shit up.

They have the authority. But they don't seem to have the will. They are so covetous of their positions of power that they are willing to overlook the will of the people and our Constitution and laws.

The Congress should have already acted.

Mitch wants to use Trump to win Georgia and keep his Majority Leader position in the Senate.

And Trump knows it.

This is the underlying politics behind all the stories we are now hearing.

Mitch doesn't want to criticize Trump because he needs him. Lindsey Graham would no longer be Chair of the Judiciary if Republicans lose Georgia.

We could say they are like prostitutes but that would be doing a disservice to prostitutes.

Why we should not idolize "bad people"?

Charles Manson was considered a "bad person". His followers ended up in prison for life. They knew he was "evil" but they followed him anyway. What were they looking for?

Ted Bundy was an evil person but people trusted him enough to get in a car alone with him and ended up dead.

John Wayne Gacy was a clown. People ended up buried under his floor.

Donald John Trump is a bad person. It is no secret that he has done some evil deeds. Yet, he has his followers. If they think there is not a price for such decisions, they are sadly mistaken.

History tells us that supporters of evil people end up either complicit in their crimes or dead. There is no escape.

They know Donald Trump is a bad person. Yet, they are able to rationalize that political power or greed are acceptable reasons for supporting evil. They will live with their decision for the rest of their lives.

Donald Trump should be censured immediately.

I am sure the House has the authority to do such a thing. A "censure" would be mild punishment for his reckless behavior. I would like to see Pelosi plant that in his ear.

The reason being, that before they were to vote to certify, a couple of Republican election officials got a phone call from Donald Trump. Very questionable and very illegal. That behavior can no longer be tolerated. She should call him on the carpet. He needs to stop crapping on our country.

Now.

A suggestion for the House and Senate:

Just sit back for the next 60 days and do nothing. Say nothing. Just watch what happens.

Don't even mention a "censure" for attempting to subvert an election.

Don't criticize the "loser". It might make him angry.

Don't have any boundaries for him, because he is the president.

Don't put any pressure on him. He might tweet a nasty message about you.

Don't do anything. Just ignore everything for the next two months and see if our democracy can survive.

Like Mitch said, "There will be an orderly transition". Yeah, sure!

Rudy said there was a witness that saw 100,000 ballots, all of them for Joe Biden.

A simple question: How did they know they were all for Joe Biden?

Did this person count each individual ballot?

People that still believe the outlandish conspiracy theories of Rudy Guiliani deserve nothing but ridicule.

Somebody told somebody that Hugo Chavez and Madero were helping to steal the election and the ballots were sent to Germany to be counted, as Rudy described it.

Could someone bring a straitjacket for these people. Their expiration date has expired.
