Why Trump Must Not Be Allowed to Hold Power Again
“Looking on the bright side of a humiliating national disaster, the manner of President Trump’s departure from power has clarified why he must never hold power again. … On one side are the lunatics — among them Giuliani, Powell and Flynn — who want Trump to violate laws and assume authoritarian powers.

Trump Goes ‘Ballistic’
We remember a calmer, wittier Trump from not so long ago,
But now he seems shaken, freighted by emotional cargo.
That’s why he went ‘ballistic’
And pitched a hissy fit,
Before heading off to the “winter White House” Mar-a-Lago.
