As Trump's election is certified, Americans should declare war on stupidity | Opinion
Shame is what keeps us in check, or at least it should. It certainly used to. Trump, devoid of shame, has gone to great lengths to eviscerate that societal check.

On the eve of Donald Trump’s election certification, the best thing sensible Americans who oppose him and the MAGA leadership can do is remember that stupidity should be embarrassing.
Trump exists in our political sphere because he persuaded people to forget that simple fact. He somehow turned dunderheads like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and, of course, himself – public figures who routinely utter abject nonsense – into people who get taken seriously.
Following the New Orleans terrorist attack on New Year’s Day, Trump ranted about immigration when the suspect killed in the attack was a U.S. citizen. That was stupid and unhelpful. For a president-elect and elected leaders who protect him, it should be deeply embarrassing.
Poster Comment:
On day one in the Oval Office in 2017 Trump reversed ALL of Obama's unlawful Executive Orders. Now he needs to reverse George W. Bush's E.O. that created the Great War on Terror so the Constitution is no longer suspended, and the Writ of Habeus Corpus can be used to get those poor souls released who have languished in prison since the J6 events in 2017.
Rex Huppke seems to be a confirmed Never Trumper.

First thing Johnson and the pubbies did was protect Netanyahu from the ICC and made it even harder to remove the speaker than Pelosi wanted.
Trump doesn't need to do anything.

Maybe get rid of Johnson.
The 119th Congress started on Friday, January 3rd. ;)

Says the man who voted for Biden and Kamala Harris? I am anti-war and oppose Trump's Zionism. But he did not start any wars unlike Obama, Hillary and Biden. We spend $1.5 trillion a year on the military if you count the other 6 agencies besides the DOD like Veterans Affairs and the Dept of Energy (nuclear weapons.)
And what about the trillions that Dr Mark Skidmore has proven went missing from the DOD and HUD? If any of these tidbits are news to you, then you are getting your information from the MSM which is bought and paid for by the people who stole the trillions from the taxpayers.
