Indeed. I'm beginning to think it will be boon to the Dems should this seriously unhinged man decide to run again. He holds the entire party hostage with the Big Lie. On the other hand, those conservatives who are brave enough to defy him are going to be attractive to independent voters - while those who prevaricate or are wishy-washy about answering whether they believe the Big Lie, deserve to lose bigly, as did their master.

I think Biden was canny to poke the Trump bear with the "loser" label, over and over, in his speech. Trump's supporters decry that Biden isn't "trying to unite us", that his speech has made things worse; but there is no evidence - none - that anything Biden says or does will cause Trump's legions to let go of their teeth-gnashing, lie-spewing, militia-loving ways. No. I salute Biden for calling Trump out as the liar and egotist he is. He nailed it when he said that Trump cares only for his own power and ego. He doesn't give a rat's patootie for his supporters; to him they are simply rubes to be fleeced along with our Republic.

This blog written by a military intelligence officer, delves in to how we got to this horrible point in our history. Says it better than I ever could. Huzzah!

The guy with the face paint and Viking horns is the face of the republican party now. I guess his clown costume was at the cleaners.

I'm not worried about the Halloween-garbed shaman, but the guys with zip ties and pipe bombs could most def make a start at "toppling democracy". Ms. McCain's simplification of Jan. 6 as "shameful" is ... shameful.
