A low point for American democracy

 Here is the statement that Republican Senator Mitt Romney released today on his twitter account:

It's true, Donald Trump, as I always knew he would, is openly pressuring state senators and representatives in the swing states to NULLIFY the will of the voters, and declare Trump-friendly electors to vote for him when the Electoral College meets in December. And as despicable as it is for a sitting U.S. President to ignore the will of the voters in a democracy, it is even more grotesque that Republicans in Congress, Romney excluded, say nothing.

These impotent cowards have allowed this sick, twisted, braindead moron to take over their party, and instead of fighting him tooth and nail to save their party, has instead decided to lick this losers boots. THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES. 

Beyond the reckless rantings of a clearly insane President, we now have a mentally disturbed former mayor, Rudy Giuliani, holding an utterly unhinged press conference in which he recited dangerous conspiracy theories - you know, for the Q'Anon sect. This year's version of the Branch Davidians. 

One might call Giuliani's insane rantings the work of a crazed lunatic and that no one will pay attention, but the fact of the matter is that Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity on FOX "News" gave this dribble oxygen to breath. Watch it for yourself: (NOTE there is a longer version online, but it is like Novocain for the brain). 

So just to make this clear. Giuliani is claiming that hundreds of thousands of votes are illegal and that this happened in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and that all of those election officials, who have never met each other, conspired to throw an election. I do not even know how Giuliani, if he is this stupid, manages to walk upright on a day to day basis. 

While Giuliani peddles conspiracy theories and Trump spends all his time trying to organize a coup that subverts the will of the voters, his useful idiot Mike Pence, allegedly a Christian, who ironically held super-spreader events during the election cycle in swing states, suckled on Trump's toes. He disguised this as a coronavirus taskforce meeting. However, like the rest of the cowards in the Republican Party, he ran off without taking questions from the free press. SHAME ON YOU COWARD! It is this administration who refuses to collaborate with President-elect's transition team to better prepare for vaccine distribution.

Trump and all his goons, and sycophants would do well to get out of Washington now and head back under the muck of the swamp. These unhinged men and women are the dregs of society - the true swamp monsters.
