"The next time we elect a president,

for God's sake can we do a background check? "- David Letterman

Funny line but David forgets Trump admitted to being a sexual predator on every TV in America and at least 20 women had accused him of inappropriate behavior.
And endless requests for his tax returns were ignored.
Multiple bankruptcies failed to impugn his claim of financial acumen.
Trump settled numerous federal charges of red lining , discrimination and flat out fraud. Trump University anyone?

Let's be honest, the GOP knew what they were selling and way too many voters knew what they were buying. A pox on all their houses.

"Garry Kasparov

Don't dare say "But the system worked" when a majority of Republicans in Congress support the overturning of a free and fair election. You don't celebrate a cancer not having killed you yet. You celebrate when you're cancer free.

The system isn't working when so many of its participants and supposed defenders are trying to destroy it. That's the crisis, and it's not going away because this time some judges threw out cases prepared by idiots.

As long as Republicans feel it's in their best interest to choose Trump and power at all costs, and see attacking the US electoral system as a way to do that, the cancer will continue to spread, eating away at American trust in govt and democracy."

... from a talking head again.

People who "pivot" sell out anyway

Trump didn't pivot at all, he is a true racist sexual predator from the start
