Can't wait for Democrats to feel entitled to even more of my money.

If you want to vote for Republicans up and down the ticket other than for President, be my guest. But let's not obscure the over-riding fact that Donald Trump violated the Constitution and his oath of office by engaging in an elaborate and ultimately violent effort to subvert the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the 2020 election.

This is not a normal election between two normal candidates. Trump is unfit to hold any office of public trust ever again. It makes no sense to discuss "policy" differences as if this were a normal election. Trump has no policies, other than to stay out of prison. He is utterly bored with "policies," and always has been. His 2024 campaign is entirely about his personal grievances. That's all he talks about.

While the US Capitol was under attack on Jan. 6, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy phoned Trump to tell him that the Vice President was in danger. He pleaded with Trump to call off the rioters.

"Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," Trump said, according to GOP Members of Congress who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy. Trump’s comment set off what lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men.

A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, “Who the f-k do you think you're talking to?” according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.
