      What Trump's Doing Is Crazy and Dangerous--and It Ain't Over Yet

      What Trump's Doing Is Crazy and Dangerous--and It Ain't Over Yet

      Trump still threatens us, and discussing the election in the past tense is stupid.

      Ever since November 7, when the election was more or less authoritatively "called" by all major media, a wide range of pundits have spoken as if the election was decided. Some of these pundits have explained away Trump's consistent and angry refusal of the results as a sign of his narcissism and immaturity; some have focused on the ineptitude of the Rudy Giuliani/Jenna Ellis legal team; and some have focused on the important fact that so many judges and state election officials, even Republican ones, have refused to comply with Trump's efforts to subvert the election. Most recently, attention has focused on the December 8 "Safe Harbor" date prescribed by federal law. The point: the results have now been certified, and Biden obviously must be selected next week by the Electoral College, and Trump's latest efforts are beside the point.

      Donald Trump--the commander-in chief, chief executive, and current occupant of the White House--is doing his very best to organize a concerted effort to overthrow the results of the November election.

      Ending over two years of mystery and speculation, former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor on Wednesday revealed himself to be the author of an anonymous 2018 New York Timeseditorial that claimed "many of the senior officials" within the Trump administration formed a "resistance" that actively worked to undermine President Donald Trump's agenda.

      "Too often in times of crisis, I saw Donald Trump prove he is a man without character, and his personal defects have resulted in leadership failures so significant that they can be measured in lost American lives."
      --Miles Taylor, aka "Anonymous"

      Nobody Expected We Would Pay Such a Steep Price for Electing a Mentally Ill Criminal as President--Can We Recover?

      Trump and his buddies in the GOP may have finally destroyed America for good.

      Our country, at the beginning of this year, faced four major threats: Climate change, Covid-19, Russian election meddling, and a worldwide nuclear arms race.

      Donald Trump lied to us about all four of them. As a result, each, today, represents a larger threat than it did before he became president and hundreds of thousands of Americans have or soon will die because of his lies.
