So much for upholding the Constitution. Sore-loser sociopath Donald Trump has dishonestly asserted the thoroughly disproven claim that massive fraud during the 2020 election he clearly lost "allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." (See center column.)
Three Sunday Morning political blather shows, ABC’s This Week, CBS’ Face the Nation and CNN’s State of the Union, were hijacked by Trump’s desperate gambit to remain in the running for the next presidential nomination as his suburban base (see his mid-term results) and the Republican party (so far silent publicly) are increasing appalled by his behavior. The truth at long last comes directly from Trump himself: He is unfit for the office he once held.
Trump announced his third presidential run last month and in some propaganda-oriented bubbles is thought to be the certain Republican nominee in 2024. I say his behavior reveals he is less of a sure thing than some think -- or rather, thought. Past tense.
Biden again outfoxed Republicans by ignoring their serial loser’s anti-Constitution rant. In the president’s place, Deputy White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates actively joined the fox hunt on Twitter (@AndrewJBates46 https://twitter.com/AndrewJBates46) where he said; “The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country. Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation.”
“The Constitution brings the American people together -- regardless of party -- and elected leaders swear to uphold it. It’s the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights,” Bates said.
Bate’s best full-gallop call occurred when he said that Trump should be "universally condemned," which I take to mean that once again Republican leaders are now the hunted foxes. Running away in silence, barely in front of the hounds of Democracy -- We the People -- will eventually fail as they fatigue.

President Biden signed a bi-partisan Congressional resolution last week forcing rail workers to accept a labor agreement signed by union leaders and freight companies last September to avoid an impending strike.
