Judge said "Arguably you sold your country out." What a patriot.

Judge Sullivan? Thanks for proving my point.

Edit: Sullivan was forced to apologize for that statement BTW.

Just a couple more months of this corruption until Don and Ispanka get charged for fraud in NY.

Well, that’s their private business. Not sure how it improves your life.

Would make me very happy to see him on a chain gang. The dumbo's holiday covid message: "I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship............" Duh.

Dow 30k!

Passing Obama’s gains in less than 4 years! Obama could do as well as Trump and he had 8 years!

Trumps still president. We’ll see how things fare when Joe wakes up and does something for the first time in nearly 50 years of gov’t.

Trump appears poised to use propaganda to a level not seen in America since the days of Joe McCarthy, if at all. It already seems that he has little regard for facts, and that many of his followers don't know or don't care. Now he seems to be creating a Propaganda minister. This is escalating quickly.

Which of course leads to stuff like this. Hopefully some nut job doesn't decide to put this into action:

Joe diGenova, an attorney for Trump's campaign, said during an appearance on "The Howie Carr Show": "Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity. That guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."

The Presidency went about how I expected it would, but the election and events post election are MUCH worse. You have, by some accounts, 70% of Republicans (I'm not sure I think the number is actually that high - I'm not sure how they are selecting respondents for their polls) who think that there was massive electoral fraud despite no evidence simply because Trump (and a hair dye streaked Rudy Giuliani) say so. I'm surprised by the amount of people that seem to be buying into this lunacy, and very concerned at the blueprint it provides for future populists with political ambitions.

Significant damage has been, and continues to be, done to our faith in the Democratic process. This Presidency has done far more lasting damage than any kind of good.
