Though I'm not surprised

that Josh Hawley is going to challenge the electoral vote count. What surprises me is that people have elected individuals that are not living up to their oath of office. They swear to uphold the constitution then don't. Look at the impeachment. Dumpy was more than guilty of the charges, but was acquitted. Look at Purdue in Georgia. Of course, I didn't expect much out of Loeffler in Georgia (she is entitled to the office, she thinks), but Purdue acts like he is entitled to the office too. He hasn't earned it. Look at what Dumpy has done. He has not "worked" more than a few days in the past 1,440. He has golfed more than he has worked and yet, there are people out there in our citizenry that believe he should have been re-elected. It doesn't work that way. Do your job and you may get re-elected. Hawley is running for president in 2024. Doing what he is doing will put him in good straits with Dumpy's cult. I sincerely hope that the cult fades away during the next four years. The media needs to ignore Dumpy once he is out of office unless, of course, he is indicted and/or sued in the State of New York.

will be bought by Murdoch. That way they can broadcast to a wider range of people. Yes, I know, the viewership would be old Faux News viewers, but this way they get them back and get more ad revenue. Hate is a harsh word but it is what it is nowadays. I can safely say I hate this president. He has done nothing for my wife and me. We pay more in taxes and are in the 'vulnerable' group with both of us being over 70 and both having heart conditions and/or diabetes.

And will watch them obstruct Biden, like they did with Obama. Two widely respected men on the global stage.

We are no longer a shining beacon on the hill.

does the Constitution matter?
Until politicians and their corporate owners understand that the rule of law must be enforced and also applies to them, these violations will continue

by your colleagues, then the Constitution does not matter. If you then are up for re-election, then you are vulnerable to those who did not like you lying to them. The public needs a constant civics lesson. Without it, you get Dumpy's cult. With it, you learn what Democracy is all about.
