11. A liar and a cheat to the bitter end
After Donald Trump brazenly claimed victory on election night the Irish Daily Mirror ran a headline that pithily summed up his character. Sadly the GOP is full of enablers and cowards and his assault on our democracy continues.

10. A confederacy of imbeciles, sociopaths and cowards
It did not have to be like this. Unfortunately, the United States is currently governed by a Confederacy of imbeciles, sociopaths and cowards resulting in the worst response to Covid in the world.

8. Cutting and running from Afghanistan
In March, Donald Trump announced a "peace deal" with the Taliban. More recently he announced he wants to pull out by Christmas. There are no great answers in Afghanistan, but there is a risk these moves are accompanied by the lack of planning that is the hallmark of the Donald Trump presidency.

5. Bravo Mitt Romney!!
I have never really been a big fan of Mitt Romney, but today he stepped up when none of his fellow Republican Senators did in voting to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial.

4. The problem with Tulsi
On paper Tulsi Gabbard would be an ideal candidate. Young, attractive, charismatic and a veteran you would think she would be marked for bigger things in the Democratic Party. Unfortunately her presidential run is going nowhere, her Congressional career is almost over and her future job prospects are likely a talking gig on Faux News. Why did it come to this?

3. The collapse of governing norms
No written constitution can cover all acceptable modes of behavior. Unwritten governing norms are critical in helping government function. Unfortunately the lust for power often results in governments abusing constitutional provisions that lead to a slide downhill and often have unintended consequences. The United States is a a critical juncture as norms are being abused with no concern on the long term harm to the Republic.
