The continued denial of the election's results really comes as no surprise, does it? He's been telegraphing this move for at least a year, with statements like: "The only way I can lose is if the election is rigged." And, while those of us who are still using our brains know that it's a strategy and a losing one at that....his loyalists, whom we kindly refer to as Kool-Aids now....swallow his lies, hook, line and sinker.
The Idiot says it and it must be true....even though there is absolutely zero evidence to back-up his lies, they are right on board with it. And, let's be honest, what else would you expect, right? But, what he is doing is inexcusable and potentially permanently damaging to our democracy. The ability of Americans to participate in free and fair elections is one of the basic building blocks of our freedom. It is the only way in which most of us can actually have a voice as to where the country is going.
But, ol' Donny-boy is not into 'free and fair' any-damn-thing. He's into, "Me want, me must have. Gimme 'dat!" And, that means he needs to short-circuit the electoral process....because he knows that if the voice of the people is heard...he's out in the cold and facing all kinds of lawsuits and even criminal charges potentially. So, it makes complete sense that he would engage in this gaslighting and lying his ass off. Hey, it's what he's good at: lying.
The people in the GOP who should know better and behave according to the constitution and the body of law...are his retinue of assholes, beginning with Moscow Mitch McConnell and Pompeo, who gave a presser yesterday in which he said:"There will be a smooth transition.....to a second term for President Trump." But, Pompeo knows that this is all political theater and he also knows that Trump's ship is listing hard to starboard and settling at the stern. I.e., it's going down. He actually said this nonsense knowing that....and, he said it with a clearly visible smirk that gave away his cynical attitude towards the whole mess.
So, what are we to do? Apparently 70% of GOPs believe that there was indeed a fraudulent election....despite the complete absence of hard evidence. I find that both astonishing and reprehensible. Many of them should know better. But, as is their habit in the last years...they are willing to drink the Kool-Aid for the Idiot. Is it because they're terrified of what a Democratic administration will do? Is it because they think Biden is some kind of wannabe communist? Do they believe the country really would be better off under the non-leadership of the worst president to ever occupy the office?
Apparently so.
And, that is the Great American Tragedy of our times. The pandemic is spiraling out of control. The experts...which the Idiot wants us to ignore....are estimating that things are about to get far more dire than they were even last March, April and May. We are setting daily records for new infections, and the damage that is being done is going to impact America for decades.
But, despite this FACTUAL knowledge...the Idiot and his administration want us to pretend that it's all going away and we should just carry on as if things were normal. He's leading the country towards the 'herd immunity' that will kill over a million--maybe several times that--Americans.

| The "most dangerous man on the planet" |
If I was reading this in a novel, I would be shaking my head and saying to myself that it's not very skilled storytelling....too exaggerated and clumsy, with plot-twists that are too stupid to be really believable--like Rudy Giuliani booking the Four Seasons Landscape center, for a press conference...instead of the Four Seasons Hotel he thought he was booking. So, there he was, in an industrial parking lot, with a porn store on one side and a crematorium on the other. If it was a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. story, I would think he'd lost his touch for it.
BUT THIS IS ALL TOO REAL!!!!!
And, we need to speak out. Our votes didn't do enough to remove the Idiot. He's not intending to go away and he IS intending to commit mayhem for as long as he can get away with it. So, we need to continue letting our congressional and senate representatives know that what the Idiot is doing is completely UNACCEPTABLE. He is out of line...in a very big way!
Just this morning, I read that he's replacing large numbers of senior personnel at the Pentagon, with his own trusted sycophants. It's not yet clear what his thinking is behind this move. But, I can only imagine that he is planning to somehow misuse his authority as president to do something that legitimate pentagon personnel wouldn't go along with. So, yes, install some lackeys and then start trouble.
As his niece, Mary Trump, has pointed out to any news outlet that will give her the opportunity to do so: this is the most dangerous man on the planet right now. There is no idea that he will behave in any fashion other than that of the authoritarian he dreams of being. Donny the Dictator is going to pull a fast one. You wait and see.
