1. .... it’s hard to deny now that Donald Trump’s tenure was the start of something—that this cunning and vicious clown opened the door to a place deep and dark, and that others might soon walk through it. He is one of history’s great vandals, but not the first of his kind.
....Trump’s appeal was rooted in racist backlash and resentment of the Other, but he could not have made it as far as he did if so many Americans did not believe the system was fundamentally rigged against them, and if they were not plainly correct.
......The door is open now, and in the Information Age, events that in Caesar’s time might have occupied a great, sweeping chunk of human history have been condensed into a few years, months, days, hours. It may only take one more ambitious politician who’s learned all the wrong lessons from Donald Trump to drag us all into the darkness. The task that falls to Joe Biden is clear, if not simple: break down the runaway power of capital and monopoly while materially improving the lives of working people, all in four years. It’s hard work staying out of the abyss.

2. ....The Republican Party of Texas on Friday evening issued a statement raising the far-fetched possibility of secession. “Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution,” said party chairman Allen West, the former Florida congressman....
Trump’s repetition of election-related falsehoods and conspiracy theories has taken hold among far-right media and much of his base. Many Republican voters in several states won by Biden have demanded that their elected officials find a way to invalidate the president-elect’s victories.
Even though the court’s action seemed to be the end of the road for Trump’s legal fights about the 2020 election results, the president’s efforts may have a destabilizing effect long after he leaves office...
“Some litigation may continue, but it will not change election results,” said Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine. “The delegitimization of the Biden presidency by Trump, and of elections generally, will reverberate for years to come. And that’s a real tragedy.”

3. During his tenure as president of the United States (January 20, 2017–January 20, 2021), Donald Trump granted executive clemency to 237 individuals charged or convicted of federal criminal offenses, using his clemency power under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. The divinity cult master is not trying to prove his claim that he is really the Messiah with a merciful and benevolent heart. Those criminals released by him are his "generals" and "warriors" who will help win back his "lost crown" in the power struggle with his successor.
Although Rex Tillerson called Trump a "f*cking *****", the "Me First" ex-president is not totally out of his mind. Instead, he does not mince his words, claiming Biden is “the weakest mentally" or "mentally shot", and would "destroy the country" if elected on November 3. If the scumbag really believes what he claims, he would definitely go all out to subvert the new administration and make a comeback in 2024.
To the scumbag, a "strong leader" means ruthlessly and aggressively pursuing his own interests and agendas at the expense of others, even the country. Instead of claiming to be the Messiah, the divinity cult master should have claimed to be a civil war leader in a previous incarnation. Years before and during his presidency, the "con artist" ex-president had woken the extremist and divisive forces of white supremacy, and opened a door to them. It needs a strong, tough and decisive leader like Abraham Lincoln to close it in order to end the so-called "uncivil war" in the beleaguered nation.
