How stupid can the Republican Party be to continue to follow the person who lost the Presidency, the Senate and continued losing the House, rallied his followers to insurrection over repeated lies resulting in 5 deaths, lost the popular vote twice, polarized the nation, alienated our allies, sided with the world's worst dictators, ignored science resulting in 500,000 deaths so far, lied about losing an election and just plain checked out on the need to set up a mechanism to get needles in people's arms to protect them from a pandemic?

Your system is pretty shitty when people prefer gambling on a huckster like Trump to continued life under it.

As P. T. Barnum used to say, "There's a sucker born every minute!" and Trump has more than proven that point.

You can steal a national election once, but when you go to try it a second time, it gets really tricky.

You can lose a popular vote and get impeached once, but when you go and have it happen to you a second time you just look like a gigantic loser and a retard.

Yeah, that's why his poll numbers were always so abysmally low. Because people thought he was so great.

Melania & Donald Trump Got the COVID-19 Vaccine in Secret, Unlike President Biden
Louisa Ballhaus
We may be coming up on the one-year anniversary of this wretched COVID-19 pandemic, but there is at least an ever-brighter light at the end of the tunnel: vaccines, highly, highly effective ones that are already making their way through the US population, albeit in a process that has had its fair share of frustrations. If it seems like there’s been a sudden influx of vaccine good news, that’s true — but it’s also true that the last five weeks have been the first under a President who actively encourages vaccination. When President Joe Biden took over from Donald Trump, he ushered in a new era in which politicians actively endorsed the national vaccination effort, a necessary measure given the high percentage of Trump supporters with doubts about the vaccine. Now, it’s come out that Donald and wife Melania Trump both did receive the COVID-19 vaccine the second they could — in fact, while Trump was still in office. But unlike the slew of public officials who got their shots on camera, like Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and many more, Donald and Melania did so in secret.
Per Maggie Haberman’s New York Times report, Donald and Melania “quietly received coronavirus vaccinations in January before leaving the White House,” news that came to light after Donald appeared at the CPAC conference and instructed the crowd to “go get your shot,” after which it was revealed he’d gotten his own the previous month. A month ago, it would have been quite the surprise to see Donald roll up his sleeve and pose for a photo while getting the vaccine — despite the fact that former Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and many more did so in a bipartisan show of support for these vaccines.

Letters to the Editor: Republicans cry 'rigged election,' but they're the ones trying to cheat
To the editor: Don Quixote tilting at windmills comes to mind after reading about Arizona Republicans' effort to enact election changes that purportedly address a problem, voting fraud, that simply doesn’t exist.
But Don Quixote was harmless, and these legislators' efforts are anything but.
The proposals in Arizona and in other states like Georgia are shamelessly aimed at reducing the number of Democratic voters whose numbers in the last election turned some red states blue and, in Arizona’s case, turned it into a swing state.
Irony also comes to mind. While former President Trump maintains he lost because of a rigged election, and a majority of his party joins in that delusion, Republicans in the states proposing new restrictive voting laws aim to show the country how to actually rig an election. They want to make it harder for Democratic-leaning constituencies to cast their ballots.
Nothing good can come from applying a remedy to a disease that doesn’t exist.

To the editor: The GOP is showing its true colors once again. If it can't win by having decent candidates, it will cheat any way it can.
The Republicans' use of gerrymandering and their attempts to make it harder to vote by mail and impede the ability of minorities to vote are all being brought into play. I've lost track of how many GOP proposals there are to restrict voting that are aimed at people who are not white and affluent.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida last week, they even wheeled in a golden statue of "he who I will not name." It is sickening, but it is what we have come to expect from a party that has fully embraced racism and fascism.
Democrats need to pay attention and fight back, or else democracy in this country is doomed. We are Germany in the 1930s. How we go forward remains to be seen.
