34. The real shame is how we play along with this charade.

"We" did not elect him. He got a minority vote, in an election for which he was ineligible understand the Constitution. That means his presence in power today is both unauthorized by the American people and is just an occupation force. That's even leaving aside that he was backed by a foreign insurgency in building the coup.

Yes, a man like this has no business coming anywhere power, and he wasn't. He was a buffoonish perpetual candidate with no chances, until the Kremlin started calling the shots at the Republican Party.

He is not only un-American, but the polar opposite of an American, chosen for exactly that reason to wreak as much spiritual and practical chaos on this country as possible. And his kind sure are enjoying themselves doing it.

The only way to claw back any part of American dignity is to stop playing along with the Vichy charade. There is no US President in office today, just a banned terrorist traitor parroting orders from the Kremlin.

Don't play the enemy's game and pretend the crimes of our own enemies are our fault.
