So it's official. Trump is a doubly illegitimate President (at least)

Government agencies have determined that the Russians interceded in our election to help throw the victory to Trump. Government agencies have determined that Trump ordered hush payments to women in violation of the law to prevent his personal misdeeds becoming known prior to the 2018 election, so as not to cost him votes.

Just a swing of less than 100,00o votes total in three states, and he would have been toast.

And you can throw in that Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes on top of all of it.

Illegitimate Presidency.

can’t remedy that, because the only remedy is what the Constitution provides: elections every 4 years, impeachment or Article 25.

I say the hell with that. When all the facts are finally known, we should think seriously about having our own “yellow vest” protests until every one of those illegitimates resign or are removed, and the Speaker of the House is appointed as President.

If we don’t do that, my feeling is we will be doomed to living under oligarch rule until we do that or something like mass extinction due to global warming and/or world war eliminates us all.
