What strikes me as absolutely bizarre about this whole mess: I can’t understand why, in the face of sanctions and FBI/CIA reports that Russia definitely interfered in our election, we’re still going ahead with the inauguration of Donald Trump. If it’s serious enough to eject diplomats, shut down Russian facilities and threaten covert action — how can we still pretend this was a legitimate presidential election?

I don’t know what anyone could do, but it’s incredibly dismaying to see the United States just going ahead with this farce and installing the most dangerously unqualified president in our nation’s history.

Because we have no system in place for handling something like this. It would require Republicans in Congress to work with Democrats to fix it, and it might mean they would lose power.
