Sore Loser With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call. The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration. The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came. It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats. None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen. In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back. Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar. Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.

My God, seems like a lifetime ago. The sad truth is, having a black president enraged the GOP, they treated him shamefully for 8 ys. and Trump was their revenge. Look at how normal things were then vs now.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Ken Buck torches his own party and announces that he will not seek re-election because they have completely lost their way. This takedown is absolutely brutal... Buck, a right-wing representative from Colorado, slammed the Republican Party as a whole for embracing Donald Trump's deranged and wholly debunked lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Buck also pointed to the failure of many of his Republican colleagues to condemn the deadly January 6th insurrection as a source for serious concern. "We lost our way," said Buck. "We have an identity crisis in the Republican Party. If we can’t address the election denier issue and we continue down that path, we won’t have credibility with the American people that we are going to solve problems." During an interview on MSNBC, Buck said that he has always have been disappointed with our inability in congress to deal with major issues." "And I'm also disappointed that the Republican party continues to rely on this lie that the 2020 election was stolen and rely on the January 6th narrative and political prisoners from January 6th and other things," he added. "If we're going to solve difficult problems we've got to deal with some very unpleasant truths — or lies — and make sure that we project to the public what the truth is he," he said. Clearly, Buck is horrified by the Trumpification of his party. MAGA has infected the Republican Party to its core and any politician who remains in at this point is doing a grave disservice to America. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that more Republicans should step away from politics — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Mary Lou Retton refused to purchase health insurance and was an anti-vaxxer. Yet, when she got sick, her daughters raised $500,000 for her care. Just remember, you are not Mary Lou Retton. If you get sick, you are on your own.

I was hopeful when it appeared that the moderates might form a coalition. But when McCarthy conceded control to the insurrectionists, I could not have been more disappointed. Now, we have the speaker of the House thanking the chief insurrectionist!

The Fox gotcha bullshit meets its match.
