    And what SparkToro uncovered when it looked at the Twitter accounts of big-time political figures should absolutely blow your mind. According to SparkToro, for example, a whopping 61 percent of the followers of @realDonaldTrump on Twitter are fake. While President Trump might be able to claim that he has a HUGE number of 84 million followers, the reality is that more than half of them are fake.

    “Efforts to reject the votes of the Electoral College and sow doubt about Joe Biden’s victory strike at the foundation of our Republic,” Paul D. Ryan, the former House speaker and Republican from Wisconsin, said in a statement on Sunday. “It is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans.”
    Representative Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican, circulated a lengthy memo calling the move “exceptionally dangerous.”
    Most Republicans were mum on Sunday about the revelations, though Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a frequent critic of Mr. Trump, called it “absolutely appalling.”
    “To every member of Congress considering objecting to the election results, you cannot — in light of this — do so with a clean conscience,” Mr. Kinzinger wrote on Twitter, appending the hashtag #RestoreOurGOP.

    Even if half of them are fake, that's still 40+ million people and more importantly the 75 million voters and the thousands that turned up mask less in a pandemic are not fake. Committing political suicide means you have no more influence and that certainly will not happen with that tape and it won't make a dent in the number of people that follow him. Wednesday, many House and Senate Republicans will be kowtowing to Trump by casting a useless objection vote knowing full well that it serves no other purpose than to curry favor with Trump and his followers.

    In my opinion, that tape will do nothing more than the thousands of other things he has said and tweeted over the lasst few years.

    The impeachment talk needs to end. The first one was embarrassing—doubly so now that it turns out that Hunter Biden is under investigation, offering Trump vindication.

    Let Trump fade into obscurity where he belongs. Impeachment/Jail talk is embarrassing, pointless, and possibly dangerous. People are incredibly angry and don’t need an excuse to let it boil over.

    Don’t make a loser into anyone’s hero to fight for
