    Technically, the word “conspiracy” comes from the Latin roots for “breathing together,” as though meeting in secret to plot the illicit downfall of another. What this is can’t really be called a Conspiracy, as there is nothing secret about it. It’s an Ugly Naked Coup.

    I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed anything as unAmerican as this conspiracy to overthrow the vote. And all those complicit people claiming to do it in the name of “the rule of law.” Right.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is traveling with Trump to GA, says: “I think our secretary of state has failed Georgia. I believe our elections should be decertified.” Asked if doing so would impact her and other Georgia Rs, she said: "We're just talking about the President's race.”

    What a lede: “‘We are what we pretend to be,’ Kurt Vonnegut wrote in the opening of his novel, Mother Night, ‘and so we must be careful what we pretend to be.’ Republicans..are pretending to be seditionists—and so they have become, in fact, seditionists.”

    If I were a Republican who'd had the honor of serving as President or VP or Speaker, I'd want to step up now and state emphatically that the party whose banner I carried is being disgraced by those Republicans now agitating for a coup. cc: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Ryan

    Dear Lord. It doesn't matter who you or I think is better. There is simply no greater corruption than attempting to subvert the election system of the U.S. to maintain power.

    You must think that Biden is going to be better President than Trump has been and will continue to be. Is that what you think you will be getting?

    I don’t know. still has a lot to learn about jinxing.

    Unless Dr. Pepper can prove that “Fansville” has caused a spike in drink sales, I’ll have to ask that they stop torturing us with such a terrible, overlong ad campaign.
