The New York Times has published a story that begins with this paragraph:

President Trump demanded that Georgia’s Republican secretary of state “find” him enough votes to overturn the presidential election, and vaguely threatened him with “a criminal offense,” during an hourlong telephone conversation with him on Saturday, according to audio excerpts from the conversation.

Trump Pressured Georgia Official to ‘Find’ Enough Votes to Overturn Election (msn.com)

Now, let’s ponder the consequence of that news article brings to us.

To me it tells of a president seeking to coerce a state election official to change the outcome of an election and to threaten him if he doesn’t do what the president is demanding.

Have you ever heard of such a travesty? Can anyone recall any president in any era of any political party doing the kind of thing that Donald Trump has done in the wake of an election he lost … by a lot?

What we have on our hands — for the next 16 days — is a president who is out of control. He’s also out of his mind.

Every move he makes to overturn an election, to subvert democracy, to violate the very oath he took to defend the Constitution and abide by the law only ratifies what many millions of us have known since before the guy became president.

It is that he presents a dire danger to the very nation that elected him as its president.

We have corrected that grievous error and I am awaiting the moment when Joseph Biden takes the oath and rescues this country from the madman he will succeed.
