NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

If you need a little break, I highly recommend searching images of “cats in dollhouses”

These folks hear a guy talk tough for 30 seconds and in 30 seconds decide he's "their guy."

And that is the entire thought process they give to politics.

Zero review of history, facts, anything.

We've been taken over by a gang of criminals.

And this has been a very very very long time in the making.

Decades and decades of endless corruption.

Biden liked by both sides of the aisle and for 30 years. Worked well with GOP and for 30 years.

Becomes President
GOP Spin Machine enters

All of a sudden he is a demon.

Bunch of nasty, ridiculous lies.
