Ben Sasse op-ed: Republican senator condemns Trump, QAnon, and the GOP - Vox

... "When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them. We can be the party of Eisenhower, or the party of the conspiracist Alex Jones. We can applaud [Capitol Police] officer [Eugene] Goodman or side with the mob he outwitted. We cannot do both"...

For the first time since Trump's ascent a high-ranking GOP Elected has excoriated him. Senator Sasse of Nebraska may be a safe bet for re-election next month, but that doesn't minimize the impact of his cascade of criticisms of the would-be dictator. Sasse, recorded during a private call with constituents, went on a 10-minute rant blaming Trump for ignoring Covid-19 and then butchering the response. And he rolled on, noting Trump "kisses the butts of dictators," and sells out our allies, and disrespects women, and is costing the Republicans a generation of voters. And just as startling, when the Washington Examiner newspaper ran the tape past Sasse's spokesman, there was no attempt to deny it, or no-comment it. He fully embraced the remarks and left the impression that this could be the proverbial "run on the bank" by Republicans seeking to get off Trump's sinking ship.

Trump: 'If Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits' - Daily Kos

Donald Trump's betrayal of Syrian Kurds has been blasted by horrified Republican allies, with even forever-toadies Lindsey Graham and Liz Cheney, as well as the usually simpering Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, and Susan Collins condemning Trump's act. Trump's response is so unhinged that it is difficult to believe it is real. It is.

George Conway: Trump is guilty — of being unfit for office - The Washington Post

Very little was surprising about the conclusion of the special counsel’s investigation. For one thing, it wasn’t surprising that Robert S. Mueller III’s probe prompted great commotion — a federal investigation involving a sitting president is a momentous event, and concluding it, a historic moment. And most, but not all, of the details in the attorney general’s letter of “principal conclusions” were unsurprising as well...

AZ Atheist Lawmaker Gives Invocation, Then Gets Mocked by Christian Colleague | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

In 2017, Arizona State Rep. Athena Salman, an openly atheist legislator, delivered an invocation to open up the day’s session. It was a perfectly respectful speech, referring to “the humanity that resides within each and every person here.” Yet it offended Republicans who insisted all invocations needed to invoke a “Higher Power.” One Republican was even given permission to deliver his own prayer to effectively “correct” the one Salman gave.....
