The fat lady is about to sing.

 


I remember watching a disappointing playoff exit by my battered and beaten Philadelphia Eagles last year to Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. It was painful to watch, and I wish more than anything that I could have just waived a magic wand and declare my Eagles the victors. Sadly, I could not. The scoreboard wasn't going to change, and the National Football League was not going to change their rules. 

 I suspect that the MAGA folks are feeling like I did after watching my birds go down right now. Their leader was on television declaring victory last week, as he wanted to wave a magic wand and just declare it to be so. That will not happen, because the votes don't lie, and the truth of the matter is that there is really no path for him to get to 270 votes and become the president of the United States. And, sadly for him, like the National Football League, America just cannot change the rules to appease Donald trump and his MAGA cult members. 

I am going to hold off declaring Joe Biden as the next president of the United State, because the election is technically not over. But the fat lady is warming up, and the opera is about to come to an end. 

If you are one of those black folks living in cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and here in Philly where I currently reside; this must be particularly sweet for you to know that it's your vote that will cause Mr. trump to be a one-term president. (They're partying in the streets.) He trashed these cities and urban areas for four years, and now they will have the pleasure of seeing him booted from office thanks to their hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Republican voter suppression efforts just did not work. 

Now all eyes is on Donald trump and what he will do when the inevitable happens. Will he lock himself in the White House surrounded by Big Macs and big screen televisions? Will he do the decent and honorable thing and publicly concede to defeat? We will see. History suggests that he will not.

So far trump has been defiant, and has told lie after lie about the process and how the votes have been counted. He has been playing a dangerous game of stoking his base into a frenzy of defiance that could ultimately cost people their lives. (One man in Atlanta has been in hiding after false accusations have been floating around right-wing social media about him trashing a ballot.) Of course we know that Mr. trump doesn't care about any of this. All he cares about is power and not being labeled a loser. 

Unfortunately for him, he will soon lose power, and a loser is exactly what he will be.

I think Trump will rise to the occasion and be the man that he
decided not to show us he could be after he got elected. I think
he will stop the crazy rhetoric and the insane delusions, then concede
like a man of dignity----and go on with his life . . . . .

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

He's going to wreak havoc until the sky drips with blood and he has hunted down all real and imagined enemies. Mostly imagined.

It isn't anyway possible for drumpf to man up and step aside peacefully. It is not in im to accept defeat and his loss will never be because of him. Dems had to cheat, he will claim. Fuck drumpf!

Here's some of what you could expect with Biden / Harris at the helm with a dem congress
an almost immediate replacement of Biden by Harris
decriminalization and legalization of most narcotic drugs
elimination of the DEA
transfer of DEA staff to ATF
elimination and mandated turn-in of assault weapons and clips
ammunition registration
wide-open southern border
legalization of 20 million illegals
Paris treaty sign on
reversal of almost every Trump executive order
reparations to Black-Americans
reparations to Indian-Americans
increase in capital-gains tax
increase in max tax rate
end of funding for fossil fuel development
mandates for electric cars
expansion of Obamacare
tax incentives for doing business with China
demonization of Russia
end of sanctions against Iran
continued deficit spending
inflation (German style)
defunding of law enforcement
substantial decrease in military equipment procurement programs
criminal prosecution of all those that oppose the government in thought or deed
supreme court expansion
a new constitution
In short, a systematic and methodical dismantling of our way of America. It will be written that Americans went along with this peacefully just like Russia in 1917.

Meanwhile, in the country he's still the president of, more than 100K new covid infections, again, and more than 1,000 covid deaths, again.
Now to win the two runoffs in Georgia.
Even if we don't win them both, this is still a very good day.
No more Fergus in the white house.
No more Stephan Miller in the white house.
Gone.
Gone with Pence, Barr, Mnuchin, DeVos, Ross, Esper, Haspel, Perdue, Brouilette, Wheeler, Azar, Wolf, Carson, Bernhardt, Scalia, Vought, Ratcliffe, Carranza, Pompeo, Chao, Lighthizer, Wilkie and Meadows.
Gone.
Along with all of the scheming weasels who supported this hideous depravity.
So now what? Let's start with an appropriate song for a hopeful, historic day:

Almost all of those things sound awesome! We do need a better relationship with Iran, Russia needs to be smacked for their meddling in our affairs, reparations to Black Americans is overdue, not sure why Indian-Americans would get reparations but whatever, there do need to be fewer drug laws, the ATF does need to be rebuilt as Republicans have been trying to dismantle it, we do need to re-enter the Paris agreement, but most of all we need a return to normal.

That’s the grim part. I feel more relief than joy today. Winning both Georgia seats is a real long shot. And things can’t actually get better with Evil Mitch still in control of the Senate, but at least with Trump gone, we won’t have a leader who is actively trying to make things worse.

We are still up to our necks in shit, but at least the shit level isn’t rising anymore.

I am seriously dismayed that only a small percentage of Trump voters managed to catch a clue since the last go-around. Trump stepped on rakes and shot himself in the nuts continously for four solid years, and a lot of Americans were completely cool with that, as long as they got to enjoy him owning the libs.

Clearly, we now must accept that a lot of Americans are just moronic assholes.

Hey Gambler,

Lilac,

It was the closest election in history. In-credible, huh? That's what Trump wanted was the security of being elected like Raul Castro or Vladimir Putin. Americans who support Trump are supporting a push away from American values. They are tending towards right-wing fascism. I can't believe it. These righties claim to be patriots yet they hate their fellow Americans. They claim to love freedom but not longer support free elections or even a free press.

Once there was a wicked witch in the lovely land of Oz;
And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder witch there never, never was.
She filled the folks in Munchkin land with terror and with dread;
'Till one fine day from Kansas way a cyclone caught a house,
That brought the wicked, wicked witch her doom,
As she was flying on her broom.
For the house fell on her head and the coroner pronounced her dead.
And through the town the joyous news was spread.
Ding-dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch!
Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead!

“I just don't understand why it takes so long. In Cuba they know the results before the elections!”

Haha.

But seriously, the main reason it took so long is because of COVID. This meant that an unusually large number of people voted by mail.

On top of which, in many states, Republicans afraid of (largely imaginary) voter fraud put in place rules that prevented those mail-in votes from being counted prior to Election Day.

This is why the race wasn’t decided by the end of the day, like in a normal year.

Also, there have been rumors that Putin might have to step down from running the country, due to failing health.

No one is surprised to hear that there are so called "sell outs" in the Black community. You don't have to look very far to find "self hating" "yes, sir master, sir, can't you just love me" people to be paid off to sell themselves out.

Certain people have always been easy to divide and conquer. Entertainers, aa well as every day Black people that will die trying to be accepted by a system that is designed to keep the invisible chains around their necks and feet.

You'll probably have millions of Blacks falsely continue to believe that just because Biden was elected that racism in America is over. Very naive indeed.

“Phuck McCTurtlefuckface. Congress controls the purse strings.”

McTurtlefuckface controls half of Congress. If he still does when Congress reconvenes next year, it is going to suck for everyone.

Biden will come up with well-thought-out, science-based plans for fighting COVID — and then Mitch will crap all over them. Rich people mustn’t have their taxes raised, so many thousands have to die of preventable disease instead.

The only silver lining is that vaccines may start becoming available early next year. But even then, many Republicans have been brainwashed into fearing vaccination, so they may need to be forced to receive shots.

All of which is to say, Biden’s not going to have an easy ride. Things will still be very ugly going forward, even without Trump at the top, because the Republican Party is completely horrible. Trump wasn’t the only problem with the GOP. He wasn’t a total aberration.

Frank the fuck Luntz, that radical leftie, accurately summarized the requirements for election changing fraud in our election system as "Bond film level of conspiracy that just isn't gonna happen" but that kind of thinking, if you can call it that, is very appealing to those with a limited understanding of the workings of elections and a burning desire to win them.
See also: Benghazi, fast and furious, IRS discrimination against conservatives.
If there were any chances of statistically significant election fraud, it wouldn't be with paper ballots, it would be with electronic voting software, which is, I'm assuming, why Republicans love the latter and want to stamp out the former.
It's apparently still beyond the FSB's grasp to hack paper ballots, but I don't seem to be seeing any follow up to the reporting a few weeks ago that they had gained access to voter data bases, so yeah, if we do investigate, let's really investigate.

Delving further into the reason for what became Election Week, this Washington Post article written by reporters, Paul Farhi and Elahe Izadi answers why the media held off calling the election when Biden’s victory seemed clear for more than a day.

As also was reiterated earlier FN blog exchanges, the Post article cites...

(1) TV networks and other major news outlets project election winners by relying on piecemeal vote returns from state officials and statistical analysis of regional and local voting patterns. Each described their reluctance to declare Biden the winner earlier — even as they said it grew likelier by the day — because of insufficient data and the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic in states that were still counting the last few thousand ballots.

(2) ABC News political director Rick Klein said media organizations had to grapple with new variables in making calls this year, particularly the huge surge in mail-in balloting and varying state rules about when those ballots could be counted. “We tried to be as transparent as we could throughout this process,” he said in an interview.

(3) The early returns — based on in-person votes — tended to place Trump in the lead. But Biden gradually pulled ahead as more votes came in, especially from mail-in ballots that were disproportionately utilized by Democrats. Mail-in votes generally take longer for county officials to open and process, especially in Pennsylvania, where election workers were not allowed to begin processing them until Election Day.

(4) The tipping point in projecting Biden’s victory on Saturday was the release of a new batch of ballot counts from Allegheny and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, both heavily Democratic areas. Given Biden’s slender but gradually growing lead in Pennsylvania, the batch that came in Saturday morning gave network “decision desk” staffers confidence to predict that Biden’s advantage was insurmountable.

If there were any chances of statistically significant election fraud, it wouldn't be with paper ballots, it would be with electronic voting software, which is, I'm assuming, why Republicans love the latter and want to stamp out the former.
It's apparently still beyond the FSB's grasp to hack paper ballots, but I don't seem to be seeing any follow up to the reporting a few weeks ago that they had gained access to voter data bases, so yeah, if we do investigate, let's really investigate.

-Doug in Sugar Pine

The major problem is the vote counting software. Dominion is used by many States and is controlled by the democrats and it adjusted for more biden votes than Trump votes even though Trump had more and won.

Many Trump ballots were intercepted and destroyed and replaced with biden ballot dumps.

ANTIFA does not like Biden?
At the first presidential debate, Democrat Joe Biden famously said, “Antifa is an idea, not an organization.” That idea vandalized his Portland campaign building Sunday night, breaking windows and spray painting “BLM” and “F— Biden,” among other things. It would seem that the idea has manifested into a form that isn’t happy with the media-anointed president-elect.

Independent journalist Drew Hernandez recorded the aftermath of the riotous attack.

If it can be shown that efforts to defraud the voters crossed State lines then it does fall within the purview of the DOJ. That being the case then RICO (which Rudy is expert on) comes into play. Were it merely a matter of local election corruption the Tenth Amendment would apply but that does not appear to be the case. Additionally if it can be shown that the CCP was involved in any way it becomes a counterintelligence matter and could subject participants to a charge of Treason as defined in the Constitution. This is beginning to get verrrrrry interesting.

I see now why you posted the Tweet instead of the article. Typical right-wing propaganda tactic. Never, never tell the truth.

Here are some of the facts:
https://www.newsweek.com/f-biden-portland-democrats-building-vandalized-protesters-1545991

James Walker Prettyman, 24, Thomas Mollrocek, 33, and 22-year-old Maximillan Jennings were booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center, police said. All three are facing charges of criminal mischief.

However, a spokesperson for the Portland Police Bureau told Newsweek that it was not known if the suspects had an affiliation with any group.

"We do not classify suspects by political or group affiliation unless it has some relevance to the criminal charges filed," the spokesperson added. "It did not in this case."

Dixon said she doesn't know who was behind the attack on the building, but doubts that antifa protesters were responsible. She said she believed it was more likely to be a "false flag" attack orchestrated by members of the alt-right.

At this point, you might as well just accept that if you work for Trump, you're gonna get it. It automatically comes with the job of working for a guy who decided to pretend the virus wasn't real.

"And there go the goddamn Republican weasels scrambling for the lifeboats. Burn those motherfuckers."

Who, specifically?

So far, I haven't seen many GOP politicians brave enough to come out of their hidey-holes and risk Trump's anger by referring to him with the "L" word, much less to launch into the "Trump was never a true conservative and I never supported him" routine.

I expect that's coming, but I haven't heard it much yet.

I went to the above website and read most of the material there. Here's the problem: Most of the information seems to be coming from Kayleigh McEnany, who is the second greatest liar in the world after Donald J. Trump. So I will wait for someone believable to post about these allegations and then evaluate them.

In 2016 when Trump over performed in PA, WI, and MI, you did not see Hillary claiming fraud or stolen election. She conceded gracefully and went about her business. You Trump supporters are whining and crying like kindergarten children. You whine and complain. Get over it. Trump lost because more people actually voted for Joe Biden.

"Fox breaks away after taking about a minute of Kayleigh McEnany's statement". Cavuto said unless she can provide some data to back it up, he can't in good conscience continue showing it.

She must be repeating the same lies that 'It actually was a Trumpslide' said at 2:37.

I was thinking of Willard Romney when I wrote that, who came out and announced that the results of the election must prove that we are a center-right country that doesn't want any of the policies that we obviously do actually want.
It's a lifeboat because Mittens still has an R after his name and thus has to run away from his actual history, which famously includes instituting the forerunner to the ACA in Massachusetts when he was the governor there.
And Driftglass, who is the champion of the burn the lifeboats movement, also is known to say no fair remembering stuff.

“It's a lifeboat because Mittens still has an R after his name and thus has to run away from his actual history, which famously includes instituting the forerunner to the ACA in Massachusetts when he was the governor there.”

While I don’t accept Romney’s premise about America the “center-right country,” Massachusetts residents demanding universal government-provided health insurance doesn’t disprove the premise. Massachusetts is much more left-leaning than the nation as a whole. And Romney is a better ideological fit as a senator for Utah than he was as governor of Massachusetts.

I will say that Romney has at least rhetorically been pretty consistently opposed to Trump; he’s not suddenly pretended to discover that Trump is bad.

So I do give Romney credit for that. It’s a very tiny measure of credit, however, since his tough talk has mostly not been backed up by actions.

GOP Fears Conceding Trump Loss Would Cost Senate

November 9, 2020 at 5:18 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 145 Comments

“Top Republicans in Washington are reluctant to call Joe Biden the president-elect publicly, fearing a rebellion by grassroots conservatives loyal to President Trump that would sink the party’s Senate majority,” the Washington Examiner reports.

“Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But with the president claiming otherwise and two Georgia runoff elections set for January that will decide the Senate majority, plus midterm elections in 2022, most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.”

I will add that Romney was the only Republican senator to vote to remove Trump in the impeachment hearings, so there is that.

“... most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.”

Everything they do is transactional. They will do or say whatever is necessary to stay in office and serve their wealthy donors’ interests. Most of them have no principles beyond that.

If you keep this in mind, all of their crazy behavior makes sense.

dinthebeast said...

Romney is still out there lying about what the results of the election mean in order to save his political skin. Saying that he is some kind of "good Republican" is a lot like saying that chlamydia is some kind of a good STI. There are no good Republicans. Every last one of them supports doing things that harm the country and its citizens.
