I've been mocking the "Four Seasons" press conference pretty mercilessly today. Here's why:

1. It's hilarious. Your heart would have to be made of stone not to laugh at the spectacle of a defeated administration proclaiming a massive conspiracy to steal the election in the parking lot of a landscaping company sandwiched between a crematorium and a sex shop.

2. I'm sick of it. Sick of the lies, the cruelty, the malice, and most of all the relentless polarizing by a president who panders to the basest of his base, dehumanizes his opponents, cozies up to dictators, and denigrates the very institutions that sustain us.

3. It's time. Trump lost the election fair and square. His refusal to accept the results and pledge a peaceful transfer of power renders him a menace to the Republic. There two ways to defeat a tyrant, and the peaceful one is mockery. So be it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/26/opinion/sunday/trump-politics-humor.html
