A criminally insane President ?

That does appear to be the case.

That is what we should surmise from the latest book by Bob Woodward & Robert Costa.

His actions were insane!

Still, the Republican Party found no reason to use the 25th Amendment? How insane is that?

We have endured an insane Commander in Chief for four years and the Republican Party is still propping him up, as if there is anything in this world that is "normal" about him.

It is not surprising to read the latest revelations.

We have seen it since Day One.

I don't know how but can they require all presidential candidates to take a mental health test, disclose all past tax returns, etc? All the stuff that was never an actual law but a tradition needs to be made into actual laws.

and face the same consequences when they don't. Except in specialized cases such as insurrection, in which case the penalties should be much higher to account for their enhanced powers.

...and the "strategy" of "Look forward, not back" must be eradicated from Dem politics. Allowing GOP to get away with crimes for decades now, without accountability, has brought us to where we are.

They will not stop until they are made to feel significant pain. SIGNIFICANT PAIN. Now.

The voting rights act must be passed.

BUT ALSO.....the methadology of counting the votes is highly suspicious. The evidence that is being gathered is horrifying.

See @jennycohn1 on twitter for the investigative thread. She's an attorney who has made election security her passion.

Did Al Capone’s gang turn him in and reform? Or did it take the FBI to break up the whole gang? The whole 45ii administration is as guilty as the getaway driver of a robbery-turned-murder.
