Book by book, the real Donald J. Trump is coming out, a drop of truth at a time. Why is this important? Because he is out there in the weeds conducting the obscene puppet show that he believes will return either himself or a surrogate to power.

If Joe Biden doesn’t go to the wall to pass overriding federal legislation guaranteeing the right to vote to every American, it really won’t matter what else he accomplishes. Biden will simply be remembered as the president who presided over the demise of American democracy.
