While thousands of his countrymen die every single day to a deadly virus, the Trump administration - barring a few exceptions - is desperately throwing wrenches into the system to make life as difficult as possible for Biden next year.
How does that behavior serve the interests of the nation? What purpose does it serve? It's infantile, petulant, and very nearly beyond comprehension. The fact that we're actually at this point really bums me out. And that's not even getting into the ramifications of election fraud conspiracies, which have predictably been shredded into oblivion by the courts. And now Trump and his personal attorney are literally asking state legislatures to just sidestep the courts? Really? Really?!??!
At some point, it's no longer about f*cking politics. It's about rule of law, evidence, and the common good.
Trump lost. Biden will be America's next president. As Laura Ingraham of Fox News put it, "this constitutes living in reality."

Enjoy it while it lasts.

On Russell Brand’s podcast “Under the Skin,” McConaughey was asked if he noticed a “condemnation and criticism of ordinary working people” in the entertainment industry when it comes to politics.
“[There is] a kind of offhandedness, like, ‘Oh, they’re dumb, they’re voting for Brexit, they’re voting for Trump.’ I don’t like it, and I don’t like to hear it,” Brand said in an episode last week.
McConaughey replied, “There are a lot [of people] on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize, and are arrogant towards the other 50 percent.”

My apologies to this board for linking a Russel Brand.. anything. Still, people don't understand why Trump was there. You know he wasn't supposed to be there.
