this whole episode is a source of shame and embarrassment for the United States.
Like it or not, those who the US elected into power feel no shame or embarrassment, and are the representatives of the US to the rest of the world.
So while I have no doubt it is a source of shame and embarrassment to many Americans, to the United States it’s just another untreated self-inflicted wound.
The United States is defined by its laws; if Americans don’t like the result, change the laws. If the currently elected lawmakers won’t do that, change the lawmakers. If they refuse to be changed, forcibly (but as peacefully as possible) remove everyone complicit from the equation. Even if that involves dumping NFTs in Boston Harbor.

So they elected a 34 times convicted felon, again.
It’s a nation of laws and if that fails we need to break the law? I can’t say I disagree on the latter but that seems to negate the former.
People who don’t vote don’t matter. Sorry not Coting was a vote for Trump.
And that’s how our system works. Ain’t it grand?
