That is how many Republican members of Congress signed a brief to overturn American democracy. They joined Attorneys General from 16 states who also wish to end the experiment which began in 1787 in Philadelphia.
Middle Eastern terrorists, the Chinese, and the Russians don’t need to lift a finger. In our midst are people who will stop at nothing to retain power. This is an attempt at a coup d’état. I never thought it couldn’t happen here. I still don’t think it will succeed, but the fact that such a large faction of American political leaders are willing to try is a catastrophe. The fact that I don’t think it will succeed shows just how sick this nation has become.
Over 3000 people died from Covid today. As terrible as that is, we can eventually bounce back. I do not think we will bounce back from the attempt to overthrow our government, led by a defeated President and supported by a significant number of American government officials.
This is truly a sad day for democracy. But that is what we got because of the madman who thinks nothing of ponying up the likes of Putin. What really bothers me is the 70 plus million people who voted to keep their cult leader in office. A sad day indeed.
