Calling Out Theatrics

Blogger Ann Althouse quotes the New York Times’ Bret Stephens as follows:

If Trump can be kicked off the ballot in blue states on account of a highly debatable finding of 'insurrection,' then what’s to stop red state judges or other officials kicking Biden off on their own flimsy findings? And on what basis can liberals continue to argue that Trump or Republicans represent a threat to democracy when they are the ones engaged in an attempt to deny tens of millions of voters their choice for president?

Analysis: On target and accurate. When the weaponized and politicized Biden DOJ won’t even charge Trump with insurrection, how can CO and ME decide he nevertheless is “guilty” of it? 

Humbug, it’s all political theater and posturing. As Shakespeare wrote, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
