The mollycoddling of this despicable crooked monster must not be entertained by

President-Elect Biden and his team.

These fuckers are giving legitimacy to the biggest loser and trying to facilitate a coup. It will not work.
I am pissed. That is fucking all.

You are not alone in your pain and exasperations.

Righteous indignation is typically a reactive emotion of anger over mistreatment, insult, or malice of another. It is akin to what is called the sense of injustice.

our members of the house and senate to put the idea of playing nice-nice with the repugs away for awhile. You can't play nice when your back is up against your own goal line.

By states, by investigative journalists, by intelligence agencies, by congressional committees, and by an independent DOJ operating on its own, rather than at the direction of the Oval Office.

On edit: meant to reply to Post #2, which asks what we need to do.

That's a scenario where they can foment the most chaos - maybe even gives them cover to deploy the military. They can't win the election, but they can still take it by force. And Trump will do ANYTHING to stay out of jail.

One path for Trump is to stoke either his supporters or his opponents to go into the street - then declare martial law, and cancel the transfer of power.
SOP for dictatorships.

It just wasn’t the way they were expecting. It was more like Whoville on Christmas Day. But I don’t expect to see a change of heart in Grinchy Trump in this lifetime.

Moscow Mitch received Russian money. Many others as well. Some of these fuckers are guilty.
The rest are loony. (I first read "cookie monster". I need more coffee.)

but they're not the ones with targets on their backs! I live in Georgia. If a violent, disgruntled trumper sees me, they will correctly assume that I voted for Biden. Then what?

Has taught us to make sure the monster will not come back to life. I think we all instinctively know that at least until Joe is sworn in, Trump remains quite dangerous. No brushing off.

ASAP to punish this cabal for their malfeasance. And not just for the coup attempt, but for ALL their crimes against the United States of America and its citizens.
Then there are the crimes against the immigrants and their children. The list goes on and on.

If a blind eye is turned, the population who voted for change is not going to be happy.

..we live in the mtns and they came from Seattle every weekend ( for 20 years) to camp on their next door property and we always did stuff together..traveled a lot together as well....attended kids weddings, baby showers, watched dogs etc. We share a common driveway into our homes. Three years ago they retired and built a home on their property behind us and since then we have hardly seen them. Funny thing is they were the last people we dined out with before covid. Since we are all so far from town we relied on one another for help around the properties..loaning equipment, time , sharing resources etc. I could sense their coolness many months ago..and they posted an anti Gov. Jay Inslee sign high on a tree ( they had never been registered to vote) but hubby still acted as if we are all BFF's and Monday he approached the husband for some help with snow plowing and was told they 'didnt have time'. Hubby is crushed and feeling really personally rejected. I saw this coming but hubby thinks everyone is as nice as he is.

There are always people riding quads up to their property..just other folks from the canyon. No social distancing and they are pissed about masking up...so Im sure they are all up there drinking beer and plotting gawd knows what.

Everything trump* touches dies....
