Yeesh.

Yes, every other election (more or less) was conducted with a winner and a loser but suddenly now EVERYTHING is fraud if it's not in the favor of the worst president ever. They forget he claimed fraud daily before 2016, then when he "won", there was suddenly no fraud. In the states he won this time, no fraud. Only if every vote isn't for him, it's fraud. Logic.

Nice however to see the dumbing down of society isn't contained to just the youth  Your aunt, Brian and many of our relatives, are still open to a good brainwashing.

Question, may have been asked already but when does this become something the Democrats pursue legal action over? I can't imagine even the not so credible Supreme Court would rule in favor of not turning over briefings to the president-elect?

Another one, if the 25th Amendment isn't being considered now, what exactly would it take for it to be so? You have a president who plays golf, tweets conspiracy theories, is trying to burn every shred of democracy to the ground, DOES NOT DO HIS JOB EVEN FOR A MINUTE EACH DAY, encourages violence, etc. I think this and the previous subject need to be talked about more. Feigning shock isn't enough.

What's there to talk about really? Over 73 million people are aware of this, and it doesn't seem to be a dealbreaker for them.

I'm hoping this will change in a few months.

His supporters are literal dying while in denial of their disease because their Orange Beloved Leader said it was all a hoax. If they aren’t going to hold him accountable for that, I’m not holding my breath waiting for them to hold him accountable for anything else. 

One sad Constitutional weakness that the Trump presidency has exposed is that the checks and balances on presidential power are only effective if Congress is willing to act responsibly and for the greater good of the nation.  We presently have a situation in which a majority of Republicans perceive that there is political advantage in continuing to enable Trump, and they are choosing to make that their top priority.  The founding fathers obviously did not envision a scenario in which a president would engage in misconduct and over half of Congress would be unwilling to hold him accountable.

Jason: "...One sad Constitutional weakness that the Trump presidency has exposed is that the checks and balances on presidential power are only effective if Congress is willing to act responsibly and for the greater good of the nation. ..."

Before Trump's administration, I believed the nation would be safe from some nutjob in charge because of the checks and balances, but even with my pretty solid normal cynicism, I somehow overlooked that Congress, if led by the same party, would allow a tyrant like Trump to run rampant to keep their power. Disgusting and disgraceful.

Then we had 8 years of more than a few Republicans thinking that President Obama was foreign born and thus illegally OCCUPYING the office of President of the United States.

Then 4 years of Democrats believing Trump was an illegitimate president having been elected with help from Russia.

And now we will endure at least 4 years of a very large segment of the Republican electorate believing Biden "stole the vote".

Banana Republics have NOTHING on us!
