• Roger Cohen at the NY Times sums it up very nicely in his Mr. President, Pack Your Bags and Be Gone  essaySome excerpts:

-Donald Trump, departing president, lost in an election that a division of the Department of Homeland Security has now called“the most secure in American history,” with no “evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised.”

-Trump can no more accept defeat than recall the fact that he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

-The world needs an American democracy restored, rid of its brooding ruler, and led by the man who won, Joe Biden. End of story.
