Resign Mr. President by Andrew Sullivan is a powerful, extremely well written and persuasive essay. I agree whole heartily with the arguments and conclusion but I know nothing will happen. Excerpt below…
Every day that passes reinforces your unfitness. You can’t make a speech that isn’t full of ever-weirder digressions, sudden bursts of strange sounds, and bizarre non-sequiturs. Dementia is clearly nipping at the edges of what passes for your brain. You never tap the wealth of solid intel your office provides, relying instead on social media rumors and wild hunches to make increasingly erratic judgment calls. Your body is a mudslide; you’re wearing visible diapers; you can’t even walk in a straight line anymore. And no one believes or should ever believe a word of what you say. Worse than that: with you as president, no one can believe anything America says.
Andrew Sullivan: Resign, Mr. President The Daily Dish
I am pleased that 11 of the Republican “dirty dozen” have been defeated:
Ken Paxton Texas
Greg Abbott Texas
Vivek Ramaswamy Ohio
Darline Graham South Carolina
Michelle Tafoya Minnesota
Jeff Van Drew NJ
Thomas H. Kean Jr. NJ
Susan Collins Maine
Roger Marshall Kansas
Mike Rogers Michigan
Lauren Boebert Colorado
I am hoping that Virginia Foxx of North Carolina joins this list soon too.

While I am somewhat pleased by last Tuesday’s election results, regrettably it’s two years, too late. Symbolically, as the calvary arrived, but much of the village has been destroyed or burnt down. The crops have withered. Young people have given up hope of achieving the life and fortunes of their parents. Trading partners have moved on, their ships no longer arriving at our ports. Justice broke down. Many fled. The coffers emptied into the pockets of a few. Cowardice reigned as reason fled.
