You’ve no doubt heard the adage — often erroneously attributed to Albert Einstein — that “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Well, if you need more proof than we’ve already had over the last two years that Donald Trump and his Merry Band of Sycophants are completely and irretrievably off their trolleys, the big man himself provided further evidence yesterday.

After the trouncing the Republican party took on Tuesday, instead of graciously conceding defeat and pledging to do better for the next two years, he initially retreated to a quiet corner to lick his wounds for a couple of days, and then emerged with the promise of more of the same old same old, posting on his ironically-named Truth Social site:

“America took a giant step back in History with the results of the last Election. But have no fear, we will be back, BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

And, as though to back up his promise (or threat, depending on the reader’s level of sanity), he appointed Stephen Miller as his new White House Chief of Staff.

The scariest part of the whole, seemingly endless melodrama is that they actually appear to believe they can still save themselves from the justice that awaits them and their co-conspirators . . . and that they can do it, not by shifting gears, but by repeating the same actions over and over and over again.

But what they didn’t count on last week was the will of We the People. Enforcing accountability won’t be quick or easy; but there’s a new crew arriving on Capitol Hill in January, and if they’re as smart and determined as they seem to be, it’s going to be a wild ride.

Just sayin’ . . .
