The Fall of the Republic 1/4/2021

The WAPO has published a recording of Trump trying to get Georgia officials to "find" votes for him and claiming that he won Georgia by hundreds of thousands of votes.

If this isn't breaking the law by suborning fraud, it's pretty darn close.

This call tells me two things. The first is that Trump is willing to take extra-legal steps to reverse the election and the second is that he may very well be delusional.

The "counting" of the electoral votes in Congress takes place Wednesday and it looks like we'll have plenty of political theater as Republicans claim that they will challenge votes from multiple states.

The GOP has disgraced itself beyond redemption. All I can hope is that it gets relegated to the dustbin of history and a new, better party replaces it.
