This so sorry excuse for a President and "leader" is still, still, to this day, pushing to ignore our election, deny that election, ignore our vote and votes and subvert our Democracy.
Even Fox's own deeply Right Wing loony Tucker Carlson says Trump and his legal team have no evidence of election fraud.
Worse, once again it looks as though people in this administration are actually harming or trying to harm the nation, too, one way or another, no exaggeration.
Check that out. Rebuked by someone, another department, in their own same administration. It's insane. We've never experienced anything like this in our nation I don't believe.
Here's another example of what leadership looks like to this man, this President, this Donald J Trump.

Trump could be a no-show at virtual G-20 as coronavirus ravages the globe
The White House won’t say whether the president will participate in this year’s summit of world leaders
We know why Trump wants to hold onto his position what with tax and criminal investigations pending on, of and for him.
NY probes Trump consulting payments that reduced his taxes
Apparently Ivanka won't be unscathed by the examination, either.
Is it any wonder Trump expressed dislike for New York in the last month or two? They're examining his taxes--for fraud--on at least two different levels. I believe this is the third.
Fortunately, at least a few Republicans are speaking up about this President and his tactics.
Retiring GOP Sen. Alexander said Trump should provide the Biden team with all resources necessary for a smooth transition.
This next one is a very pleasant surprise.
I frankly thought Senator Ernst would lay low and keep quiet on this. I'm pleased to see she's doing the right thing here on this.
This naturally pleased me, too, of course, logical as it is.
Former AG Eric Holder weighed in, thank goodness.
And this is the status just now, fortunately. Not that reality means anything to this Orange Man or his supporters, sadly, tragically.
Unfortunately, this is where far too many people in this Republican Party stand.
This is where this President and his political party have brought us.
“To succeed, Biden will have to do more than secure Americans’ right to vote, ensure that workers’ wages rise, and return life to some semblance of pre-pandemic normality, although those are all necessary,” Adam Serwer writes. “He must show Americans that the government can serve the people, and not just the ambitions, avarice, and ego of its leader.”
National security is one of the major reasons smooth transitions are so crucial, says Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. Perry notes that the 9/11 Commission pointed to the shortened transition period between Bill Clinton's administration and the Bush administration after the disputed 2000 results in Florida as playing a role in al-Qaida's attack in 2001.
Besides not leading the nation during this killing pandemic, this just took place, too. This is from Axios.
The largest free trade area in the world came into existence over the weekend — and the U.S. was not even invited.
Why it matters: For the first time in living memory, the hegemon at the center of a major global free trade agreement is not the U.S.
China has stepped into Uncle Sam's shoes, and now anchors the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, an area covering 2.2 billion people and 1/3 of all the economic activity on the planet.

So here's the question. The New York Times poses it this week.
To which I answer, no, no we can't restore the rule of law without prosecuting Trump. Further, and just as importantly, at least, we need to make certain no one and nothing like Donald Trump happens again here, too. Donald Trump's crimes have been too numerous and they have been too grievous, too, both.
And again I say, because it's deserved, too, still, still we are leaderless in this the most killing, deadly international pandemic in the last more than 100 years.
Still, still no leadership from this man Trump, our supposed leader, our President on this pandemic, in any way.
The time has more than come, America.
We are, frankly, America, in one helluva mess, medically as well as politically and this President and his political party are standing squarely in they way of any solutions.
