He Must Have Forgotten How He Became President

Image
 He was the second most despised candidate running for president in 2016, but because he beat the #1 most despised candidate, he thinks that must mean people love him. It's probably one of many reasons he cannot accept the 2020 results. 

It Will ALWAYS Be About Him

  Anything less than 100% loyalty and obedience will earn you his wrath :  President Donald Trump on Sunday lit into Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, expressing regret for supporting the conservative Republican, a statement that could potentially create major discord only weeks before two critical US Senate runoff elections in the state. Trump, still smarting from  President-elect Joe Biden winning Georgia in the November election , has repeatedly blamed the state's usage of Dominion Voting Systems machines for his defeat. Dominion has come under fire from conservatives in the wake of the election,  with the company having to fend off debunked allegations  that their machines facilitated voting irregularities. After weeks of publicly sparring  with Georgia's GOP Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger over the election results, Kemp is Trump's newest Peach State target. [snip]   "Everything has to be approved by the legislature, and they had judges making deals, and they had ele

Remember When Democrats Had a Chance To Impact the Certification of An Election?

 I sure do: Looks like they didn't try to circumvent recounts , they just tried to use boring-yet-legit legislative procedures. And they were still turned away. 

Biden (and Harris), Who Built Their Career On Incarcerations, Will Not Be Investigating the Outgoing President

  Let's get this out of the way : Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have no plans to investigate or imprison anyone with influence, money and power unless they become a political or financial problem.  The Democrats might as well prepare for a GOP comeback in 2022. Say goodbye to the House. 

Vagueness, Tricks & Lack of Follow-Through Doomed Trump's Chances

 There are so many examples, such as: His handling of the COVID-19 Calling it a "Democratic (Party) hoax, then blaming it on China Holding press conferences, then stopping because reporters didn't stop asking questions Letting every state handle things on their own, instead of establishing guidelines for them to follow Getting mad at the states who came up with innovative ways to combat COVID-19 because it made him look bad Not using executive powers to get the private sector to make critical supplies (masks, gloves, ventilators)  Not wearing a mask, or encouraging his staff/followers to wear a mask Holding super-spreader campaign rallies Not declaring a state of emergency during a pandemic Not issuing a UBI for ANYONE, even essential workers Not offering Americans the same healthcare that may have saved his life when he tested positive Claiming that Joe Biden was simultaneously a doddering braindead buffoon, the mastermind of a political crime family, and a Trojan Horse for (

The Media Went From Putting Cameras on Trump's Empty Podium to Cutting Him Off

  What a difference four years and an election make .  Of course, they got what they wanted: round-the-clock ratings from covering speeches, rants, and tweets.

Interesting Election-Related Stories

A bomb threat in Philly targeting the location were vote counting was taking place.  The Minnesota GOP Chair actively recruiting anyone willing to claim ballot fraud in the state, regardless of the validity of the evidence. Pennsylvania GOP isn't too sure about fraud claims, but they want an audit .  Biden lead in Arizona is shrinking , but slowly.

Lincoln Project Had Little Impact on Election

  Via Esquire . At least they managed to convince a lot of moderate and conservative Democrats to give them money to make anti-Trump ads (and possibly fund future GOP candidates). 

George W. Bush Had Better Latino Outreach Than Joe Biden

 Let's take a trip back to 2013 :  George W. Bush went to bed at around 9pm every night when he was president — except for Cinco de Mayo, that is. It’s a fact that former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez says embodies Bush’s legacy with  Latinos . [snip] In the 2004 election, he won a record breaking 44 percent of the Latino vote. It’s a record that no Republican candidate has since topped. In the last presidential election, Republican candidate Mitt Romney garnered just 27 percent of  Hispanic  votes. Arizona State University  political science professor Rodolfo Espino  says that Bush worked the hardest to build a coalition of Latino voters. “Bush set the standard for what Republicans who want to be president need to do. We’ve seen Republican candidates not follow the guidelines for the platform he was pushing for and he paid the price,” Espino says citing John McCain’s lackluster performance with Latino voters. Members of Bush’s administration say that his comfort with Latinos
