Re: Trump Watch
Reminds me of thisgeo wrote:I watched Trump's press conference from the White House last night, wherein he alleges massive voter fraud, and basically tries to throw democracy under the bus to save face, just as he did in 2016. The news media has to constantly remind viewers that these assertions are baseless. Even the FoxNews anchors were saying that there has to be evidence before the courts can take such allegations seriously. Trump's statements last night were appalling and pathetic. What seems apparent to me now is that Trump actually believes the narrative of voter fraud. How else could he could be losing? And herein is the problem with narcissistic personality disorder. But there is a basic flaw in Trump's logic. On the one hand, he praises the gains made in the House, and the fact that Republicans will hold on to the Senate, but somehow his own apparent loss is not possible without massive voter fraud. And, yet, these gains are on the same ballots that he is trying to contest. He wants his cake and to eat it too!

I’m almost to embarrassed to admit
President Shit for Brains = PSfB
I stopped writing it in full because I didn’t want to upset people by overly foul language.
I do try to be upmost in civility, poetics, originality of thought But these past four plus years had put me out of sorts.
I’m thinking that I can get some sense of peace of mind now that the people of this country have put PSfB out to pasture.
I have hope for this country again.

Re: Trump Watch
It was nice of Penelope to send her congrats from the UK. We'll soon be rid of perhaps the only truly malevolent president ever to occupy the WH. But there is still some embarrassment in the reality of 71 million Americans voting for a man who doesn't know what our country is about and will go very far to subvert that country. That we now have a patriot waiting in the wings does merit a big sigh of relief.
Why won't Trump fold his hand and prepare to vacate the office? He's many things, but not stupid enough to miss the writing on the wall in bold, Sharpie strokes. He lost. The best explanation I've seen is that he simply needs more time--time to run a final scam on the public. Fundraising letters have been going out, imploring his supporters to fund the election challenges that could keep their hero in office. The small print on these letters reveal the scam: All of the smaller donations ("smaller" meaning less than $8,000) will go to the RNC to be used for purposes such as funding the Republican Senate candidates in Georgia, and to Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, a slush fund for him to use any way he wants, including but not limited to advancing his return as a candidate in 2024.
That last, scary, possibility underscores the importance of not letting up on holding Trump to account for crimes he may have committed during or before his term.

Re: Trump Watch
For that matter, what's up with the recent shakeup at the Pentagon? He's putting hard-line loyalists into senior jobs at the Pentagon.

If there is some nefarious plan being concocted by these enemies of America, I doubt it will be successful. Though perhaps he hopes as a result of his continued defiance of political norms—his unwillingness to concede the office—that there will be unrest in the country, which he can then quash with military force and possibly use that as an excuse to hold on to power. This is, of course, pure conjecture on my part.
One thing is for sure: Trump is a natural tyrant, who thinks in terms of loyalty to him (not to the Constitution or to America). As such, perhaps he has always hoped that if the election is ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, it would rule in favor of him, since he installed three of the seven justices on the Court. Fortunately, I don't believe any of our Supreme Court justices would be even tempted to descend into such Banana Republic ways.

Re: Trump Watch
He is scaring me for sure. I'm shocked that he doesn't seem to understand that he will be remembered more for how he leaves office than for what he did while in office. Imagine how the history books will look back on these events. Flash forward 100 years and I have a feeling Trump will still be talked about as an unstable tyrant that almost brought our country to a civil war.
