Trump is an illegitimate president whose election is tainted by fraud. By Max Boot!

they have gotten away with it because the congressional leadership has allowed them to do so. Judging by House Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s (R-Wis.) cowardly and cautious statement on Tuesday — “We are aware of Mr. Cohen’s guilty plea to these serious charges. We will need more information than is currently available at this point” — there is no sign that the Republicans in Congress will ever provide any serious oversight of the Republican in the White House.

The voters of the United States must now say to this Congress what Oliver Cromwell said to the Rump Parliament in 1653: “Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. . . . Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. . . . Go, get you out! Make haste! . . . In the name of God, go!”

1. Excellent article by Max Boot, a man I used to loathe.

I probably still do, but his views on tRump align with mine.

I find myself rooting for the FBI and all these previously horrid republicans. Don't tell my younger self what I have become!

3. No worries! I think you did what I did: we grew up.

And maybe so did Max Boot.
