This sentence still stuns even tho we know it: “The president barely shows up to work, ignoring the health & economic crises afflicting the nation & largely clearing his schedule of meetings unrelated to his desperate bid to rewrite the election results.” https://t.co/xaFNoi9zMq
A point @JVLast just made to me: Trump is losing legally and winning politically. He’s convinced millions the election was stolen. The dollars are pouring in. He’s destroying democratic norms and civic restraints. It’s Trump’s GOP. To an alarming degree, it’s Trump’s America.
Important and powerful piece by @UrbanAchievr: "There is moral hazard for a republic that imposes no meaningful consequence on those who would destroy it from within." https://t.co/xirfyU9grK
It's one thing for the rich & powerful to get better treatment. That may just be one of the realities of the world. But for the rich & powerful to boast about their treatment, and act as if others lacking access to it need not take care, is reprehensible.

It’s possible we might get some better policies from the Biden Administration and a narrowly Republican senate than a 50-50 Democratic one. But for me the support by Loeffler & Perdue for Trump’s effort to nullify the election is disqualifying. I couldn’t vote for either of them.
Despite their protestations, Trump and most of his supporters understand that he got fewer votes, that he lost the states he lost, and that Biden won. It’s just that they don’t think votes for Democrats should count, so none of that actually matters. https://t.co/D2Hnslzn6p
There is absolutely no modern "whatabout" to compare to what a great many GOP politicians are trying to do to the American republic. It makes a court-packing effort look like Candy Land. If they get their way in court (they won't), they would break the country. There is no excuse
Just amazing.
Perdue and Loeffler backed Trump's effort to overturn votes in four states, including Georgia, after he privately raged at them, @bluestein reports: https://t.co/ovou5yUACc
They are helping Trump wage war on their own state's electorate: https://t.co/a2wzi4Pg9w
I've come to have very low expectations that elected Republicans will do the right thing. But even I'm stunned that 106 of them would sign their name to such an insane and embarrassing scheme.
The election case Texas filed in the Supreme Court is an embarrassment but I'm beginning to think that's the point. It's a loyalty test. Everyone who signs on demonstrates they are willing to humiliate themselves for Trump.
"I'm growing tired of being the guy who comes on and says 'the sky is falling' but I'm here to tell you that I have no other training than to compare this to a radicalization process that leads to a flashpoint that leads to violence." - @FrankFigliuzzi1 w/ @NicolleDWallace
