The singular truth of the Trump administration is this: Just about any wrongdoing the Trump Team accuses a Democrat of, the Trumps and their allies do more.
Take this week’s news about Rudy Giuliani, caught by hidden cameras as part of Sascha Baron-Cohen’s newest Borat film reclining on a bed with his hand down his pants in the presence of a woman playing a teenage girl (she was actually a 24-year-old actress) — a scene you might expect would raise eyebrows on the Trumpist right, which has thrown in with believers in the bizarre and flatly false QAnon conspiracy theory of a child sex ring run by Democrats.

And take Trump himself, who this very week has been using the Justice Department as his personal defense team, arguing that he cannot be sued for defamation by E. Jean Carroll because denying her credible allegation of rape is “within the scope of his office” — and who also has so far refused to submit his DNA for a test that could exonerate him.

Or take last week’s news courtesy of the same Giuliani: He gave the tabloid New York Post access to what he says is Hunter Biden’s laptop, on which he claims there are emails proving that Hunter used his father’s position to curry favor with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, and that his father, in turn, used his political clout to help the company and his son out of a jam. This is a story that has been investigated many, many times over, and while it’s clear that Hunter’s relationship with Burisma was unsavory and handed to him because of his paternity (a kind of common political patronage scheme that I personally would like to see outlawed), it is also clear that the arrangement was not illegal, and that Joe Biden’s work in Ukraine was aligned with and on behalf of the interests of the United States. In fact, the New York Post’s story was so dodgy, and Giuliani’s credibility so thin, that the reporter who penned the story refused to attach his own name to it.en. Kamala Harris has just shattered a number of ceilings: On Saturday, she became the first woman, the first Black woman, and the first Indian-American woman to be elected vice president of the United States. After days of tensely counting votes, and four years of horrific racism and misogyny from the Trump administration, Harris’ elevation is more than just a win — it’s a salve for those of us who have been so discouraged by the bigotry of our fellow citizens, and a symbol for an American future that doesn’t look quite so homogenous.
I’ll admit, of course, that I wish a woman was moving directly in the oval office. It stings that a young dynamic politician like Harris has made it to the White House via Joe Biden, who will be the oldest president in history. It’s a reminder that too many Democrats didn’t believe that a female candidate could win against Donald Trump; and given how close the vote was, that bet on sexism may have been right. …

In the election of 1824, a time of tumult by working men who felt excluded from the new economy of the nascent Industrial Age, Andrew Jackson beat John Quincy Adams for the presidency. It was a short-lived triumph. While Jackson won the most popular and electoral votes, there were a total of four candidates, and he failed to reach the required threshold of 131 in the Electoral College. A House commission, appointed to make the final election decision, picked Adams, the second-highest vote-getter, to become the sixth U.S. president.
