There oughta be a law.  
There are laws,
we're watching Trump ride roughshod over them all.

Where are the Republican Senators?    
It shouldn't take a national election to stop this malevolence.

I live in Wisconsin.
In his wake, "Covid Trumpy" leaves a surge of covid cases
everywhere he goes.    
Covid is contagious.
Our frontline workers can't keep up with all who are infected. Our hospital beds are full.

He is the party and the party is him.

The same Mitch McConnell who scrambled to seat Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court one week before the November 3rd election, told his Republican colleagues that he warned the White House not to strike an agreement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on a coronavirus relief package before the election.  Why? He wants to avoid a vote on a major relief bill that would split Republicans when he wants unity for the Supreme Court confirmation.

Mitch McConnell doesn't care that tens of millions of Americans are in increasingly desperate financial straits and that in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic Americans are losing their health insurance.
He blocked $1200 checks for working families, he blocked expanded food stamps for the hungry, he blocked protections for those in danger of losing their homes, and he blocked funds that would avoid another round of job losses in states and municipalities.    
That suffering is in addition to losing hundreds of thousands of Americans who are dying of covid.

Removing President Trump won't repair dysfunction in D.C. as long as McConnell remains Senate majority leader. The same Mitch McConnell also successfully fought bipartisan efforts to protect the election now underway from Russian interference.

On top of everything, the White House has no plan to control the pandemic or the will to provide responsible leadership to protect Americans during a surging deadly pandemic.

The White House released a statement today announcing that it considered "ending the Covid-19 pandemic" to be one of Trump's major first term accomplishments.

What?

"There's no world in which anyone can think that [statement] is true. Trump, maybe, but I don't know how. The U.S. has more than 70,000 new covid cases each day."

Much of our government operates on the basis of norms that Americans understand and accept as a framework for it to function. For the good of the country, we rely on accepted tradition.

Now in the midst of a deadly pandemic, for the good of the country, we can't rely on a lame-duck president to share covid-19 data with the president-elect and his transition team so the baton can be handed off to the new administration and they have a running start to get the coronavirus under control and to facilitate distribution of the vaccine(s).

There oughta be a law -
or at least a provision - that requires U.S. Senators and Representatives to pass a Constitution Test comparable to the test students must pass to matriculate to high school and then again as a requirement for high school graduation.

The new civics test administered to those hoping to become U.S. citizens seems to be another complex (to the point of inaccuracy) and decidedly Trumpian barrier to naturalization.

There oughta be a law -    
or at least a provision - to prevent Trump from holding federal office again.

There oughta be a law -  
that compels office holders to put country first.

There oughta be a law -      
that we speak truth to power,    
and we speak truth to the powerless.

We need to define domestic terrorism so that law enforcement can investigate the activity of groups and persons intent on committing acts of terrorism.

Lawyers are expected to function according to their professional code of ethics.    
Trump's attorney van der Veen operates under Trump's code of ethics. 

Party members should expect their party leaders to exhibit at least a modicum of statesmanship and concern for the nation. McConnell is all / only about the Republican Party to re-establish his power as majority leader which reduces his purpose to being a conduit for Trump's lies. McConnell is a caricature of an elephant... any interest he might have had to serve the United States of America is at best a faint memory.

Whereas and therefore:    
Former presidents shall not be insurrectionists.

There oughta be a law
against rogue governors who prematurely open their states.

Contrast the ease that makes it possible for anyone - on a "bad day" - to buy a gun and kill eight people to the hurdles imposed and couched in "Election Integrity Bllls" to make it all but impossible to vote.

that makes it impossible to defend one's lies as satire because reasonable people would not believe the claims as fact...

Note: Trump attorney Sidney Powell's defense in the Dominion defamation suit is that her repeated claims of mass election fraud were so outlandish no reasonable person could have been expected to believe them.        
So, in her view, if you believed the big LIE then, you weren't a reasonable person.  
If you still believe the big LIE, what does that make you now?

that makes it as easy to vote as it is to buy assault weapons.

that we take time to find common ground - in our mutual hopes and fears - to find a way to discuss important issues that need our attention.

that prevents losing candidates from casting doubt onto a legitimately certified election, 
and that prevents their supporters from spreading misinformation about legitimately certified results.      
The big LIE is undermining governance.      
When is fake news like yelling "FIRE" in a theater?
