- Title
Congress Must Clean House.
- Authors
NELSON, JAMES C.
- Abstract
Recall that, factually, this is the election in which: DJT's own cyber and infrastructure director testified to Congress that the 2020 election was safe and secure, based on verifiable paper audit trails across the country and on the professionals that conduct elections regularly[2]; election officials in all 50 states certified the election results; multiple re-counts in various swing states confirmed the results of that state's election; the winner, Joe Biden, beat the loser, DJT, by over 7 million popular votes and garnered 306 electoral college votes to DJT's 232 (precisely the same number of electoral college votes by which DJT beat Hillary Clinton and which he declared to be a "landslide" victory; and, all of DJT's fraud claims have been shown, in some five-dozen court cases (including two before the U.S. Supreme Court) to be totally baseless and without any evidence whatsoever. While there is little Congress can do about DJT's paranoid delusions, there is something the second branch of government must do about the shameful conduct of its own members' "sedition caucus"- conduct which flies in the face of those members' oaths to support, protect and defend the Constitution and which amounts to enabling DJT's authoritarian coup attempt to overturn the 2020 fair and secure presidential election, disenfranchise millions of voters and subvert our democratically elected government. JANUARY 5, 2021 Donald J. Trump (DJT) is so mentally and emotionally damaged that 37 psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and mental health experts have deemed him to be an existential threat to our democracy.
