Let’s be clear. Joe Biden is the President-Elect of the United States. The refusal of Republicans to acknowledge this are poisoning American democracy. They are breaking faith with our history, ideals and ideas. It is unforgivable and dangerous. It is UNAMERICAN and disloyal.
It is outrageous that Mitch McConnell has not congratulated the President-Elect and Kevin McCarthy’s comments intimating that Trump may yet win are even worse. Trump’s delusional temper tantrum is proof of his manifest unfitness and insanity.
The corruption of this process, the peaceful transition of power, by the cowardly, sniveling GOP Congress is the gravest vandalism of our system yet. We will live with the consequences of their cynicism and illiberalism for a long time. For the first time in our history the
Losing side of a Presidential election is refusing, en masse, to recognize the clear winner of a legitimate, free and fair Presidential election. Instead they are weaving conspiracy theories about fraud that doesn’t exist and drop by drop they are strangling faith and belief
In American democracy for tens of millions of people. Shame on them for the damage they have all done and continue to do to this country. Eventually this will trigger violence and when it does Trump, his family, his staff and his GOP enablers will own it. They have incited it.

The Trump Coup rolls on. Fueled by Trump’s brittle ego, idiocy, malice and the political cowardice of most all elected Republicans, this sad spectacle seems like the perfect ending to the reality show Presidency. It feels more like “Moon over Parador” than any type of real 1/
threat but it is a threat nevertheless. Trump’s voter fraud lies are like poison. Cyanide. DEMOCRACIES require faith and belief in the legitimacy of free and fair elections. The entire system is built on this proposition. The American polity is being poisoned by Trump’s lies, 2/
conspiracy theories, baseless lawsuits and refusal to concede in an election he lost. The conduct of GOP leaders remains appalling. Everyone of them knows that Joe Biden is the legitimate President-Elect and that Trump had been defeated. This is all about them trying to avoid 3/

This is a moment of global jubilation and profound relief. It is also a moment that requires vigilance and presence. This decision 👇 will kill Americans at a moment when Covid is raging. This will be a miserable winter of death in our country. The actions real target is 1/
American democracy. This is the first meaningful action in an attempt to kill it. I’m going to use a word with intention. Sedition. That is the appropriate word to describe the actions of @newtgingrich @LindseyGrahamSC @RudyGiuliani @TomCottonAR as they hurl baseless conspiracy
Theories with no evidence of voter fraud whatsoever. Their actions are despicable and profoundly UNAMERICAN. The failure of incumbent GOP elected officials to congratulate the President-Elect is disgraceful. It is dangerous. It is

.@realDonaldTrump Donald, how goes it in the fuhrer bunker? You lost. Is anyone telling you the truth? Probably not. That has never been a strong suit in your WH. Have they told you how big the loss is? How decisive? Has Melania left yet? I’ll say this for you. You definitely 1/
Have a powerful Kavorka with regard to your acolytes. Who will stay in the bunker until the end? Who can you really trust? God, I bet you haven’t thought for a second about the misery that will follow you for all the rest of your days. No deal flow. Bankruptcy, criminal 2/
Investigations and scorn. Goodbye and good riddance.

.@realDonaldTrump Donald, do not be jealous of Covid’s ratings. It can’t spread without you. You are a team. Can I tell you a secret? Your rallies aren’t working. People don’t like them. Everywhere you go the vast majority of people see you and a cult of fools endangering their
Families, neighbors, colleagues and communities. It’s pushing your numbers down. Check mate @realDonaldTrump. What made you is suffocating you. In a manner of speaking, your campaign is choking and asphyxiated because of Covid. It will be over soon. The humiliation is at
hand @realDonaldTrump. There is so much coverage about all the people stranded in the cold in Nebraska. The police called it a shit show! Can you believe that? What better way for your marks to show devotion to you then by suffering a little. Every GOP Senator is trying to

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America reads, “ Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people 1/
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. WE DO NOT LIVE IN TRUMPISTAN or JAVANKASTAN. The billboards will remain because they light the night sky as a beacon of accountability and truth. The unqualified child of Trump and her husband 2/
were given jobs at the highest level of Government and charged with life and death responsibilities. They have engorged themselves for four years like pigs at the public trough. They have abused the taxpayers, flouted ethics and conflict of interest guidelines, rules and laws. 3

When the IG report comes out and we know the full details about who is responsible for the inhumanity and evil of caging children and separating them ( permanently) from their parents we are going to plaster their names, images and stories on those electronic billboards. 1/
We will run media campaigns in their hometowns where their families will be shamed by their ignominy. We will include any new employers and target their clients. I’ve spent most of the last decade counseling CEO clients in crisis situations for some of the biggest companies 2/
