occupydemocrats--2020-11-22--Trump’s tweets remain defiant as his court challenges to the election continue to fail

Donald Trump showed a slight hint of connecting with reality early this morning in his first tweet of the day .
In one of the few posts that he made that didn ’ t contain a disclaimer from Twitter explaining that his vociferous bleatings about massive levels of election fraud were disputed by just about everyone else in the world not directly employed by the sulking president , Trump responded to a tweet from Elizabeth Harrington saying that she was “ not tired of winning yet ” by saying that he wasn ’ t tired of winning either .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charades to finally cease with an admission of the over six million vote loss that he experienced in his contest with Democrat Joe Biden , the statement provided a glimmer of hope that the idea that he hadn ’ t won the election may be slowly seeping into the cavernous confines of his skull , as it ’ s difficult to get tired of something that you haven ’ t experienced recently either in the election itself or in the court battles to overturn its results .
Trump ’ s subsequent tweets quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his fight to overturn the legitimate results of what secretaries of state across the country have universally called a free and fair election with no credible evidence of any fraud that would justify reversing the published results .
With retweets of posts from his right-wing extremist supporters and his own original comments in quote tweets , Trump soon garnered the now ubiquitous Twitter disclaimer that warned his followers of the false nature of his fraud allegations .
After meeting with Michigan Republican state legislators on Friday who told him that they “ not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the outcome of the election ” in their state , Trump nonetheless posted yesterday that although the attached statement from the state ’ s GOP Senate Majority Leader was correct , the media had not reported the essence of the meeting correctly and that he would soon magically produce evidence of massive and unprecedented fraud .
Despite the Twitter disclaimer labeling the tweet as disputed Trump retweeted it again this morning as if through repetition it would somehow gain credibility .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeat his unsubstantiated claims that a close examination of the signatures accompanying mail-in ballots would turn up enough disputed votes to erase Biden ’ s lead in the states that Trump lost .
Trump continued to retweet posts from his dwindling number of GOP supporters and media outlets who still pay lip service to his thoroughly discredited claims of electoral malfeasance .
He then took a brief pause to respond to the media reports that he skipped out on the portion of the virtual G20 summit of world leaders dedicated to “ Pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at his own Virginia resort yesterday with a defensive post slamming the media for reporting the facts of his brief appearance at the summit inaccurately .
It apparently didn ’ t occur to the president that if he was busy tweeting while attending the summit then he certainly wasn ’ t paying a bit of attention to the proceedings .
Not that the contributions to the virtual gathering of world leaders made by a president who will be leaving office in less than two months would be of any significance anyway .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , however .
How does one actually arrive at a virtual meeting ?
Whatever the answer to that existential query , Trump soon returned to posting statements custom-made to undermine America ’ s faith in its democratic processes .
Twitter ’ s content moderators seem to be sleeping in on this Sunday morning since they let this tweet slip by without a warning of its disputed nature , at least until you clicked through to see the full post and the replies it garnered .
Suffice it to say that the reason that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump nor his shrinking team of lawyers have been able to provide a shred of evidence that his accusations have any semblance of truth to them .
One has to wonder if Trump is visible to the foreign leaders during the virtual summit and if they can see him typing away on his iPhone as he ignores the proceedings in which he is ostensibly participating .
He must have found the sessions exceedingly disinteresting since he found the time to squeeze in an attack on one of the Republican Governors who have condemned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the elections as a despicable RINO .
Trump ’ s attack on Maryland Governor Hogan is as predictable as his continued refusal to accept his defeat , as he plans his future as a disruptive opposition figure who has set himself up as a victim of an unjust and corrupt electoral system and as someone who will dominate the Grand Old Party ’ s future going forward .
As of press time , there was no word on whether Trump was planning on skipping out on today ’ s G-20 session again today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does , it ’ s not likely that the world leaders will miss his meager contributions to the dialog especially since the incoming Biden administration is likely to reverse any major foreign policy decisions that Trump may make in his remaining weeks in power .
We have only 59 days left before Biden takes office , but if Donald Trump ’ s Twitter feed is any indication , the chances of requiring the Secret Service to physically remove him from the White House seem more and more likely every day that he continues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the election results .
Knowing Trump , we may be witness to an unprecedented spectacle in this unique presidential transition .
If they decided to televise his removal as a pay per view event , the nation could probably retire a significant portion of the national debt .
We want to hear what YOU have to say .

For Americans longing for Trump’s political charades to finally cease with an admission of the over six million vote loss that he experienced in his contest with Democrat Joe Biden, the statement provided a glimmer of hope that the idea that he hadn’t won the election may be slowly seeping into the cavernous confines of his skull, as it’s difficult to get tired of something that you haven’t experienced recently either in the election itself or in the court battles to overturn its results.
Trump’s subsequent tweets quickly extinguished any prospect that he would abandon his fight to overturn the legitimate results of what secretaries of state across the country have universally called a free and fair election with no credible evidence of any fraud that would justify reversing the published results.
With retweets of posts from his right-wing extremist supporters and his own original comments in quote tweets, Trump soon garnered the now ubiquitous Twitter disclaimer that warned his followers of the false nature of his fraud allegations.
After meeting with Michigan Republican state legislators on Friday who told him that they “not aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election” in their state, Trump nonetheless posted yesterday that although the attached statement from the state’s GOP Senate Majority Leader was correct, the media had not reported the essence of the meeting correctly and that he would soon magically produce evidence of massive and unprecedented fraud.
Despite the Twitter disclaimer labeling the tweet as disputed Trump retweeted it again this morning as if through repetition it would somehow gain credibility.
This is true, but much different than reported by the media. We will show massive and unprecedented fraud! https://t.co/E1gZiqc7EP — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2020
Add your name to tell Trump: You Lost! Concede!
The lame-duck president then went on to repeat his unsubstantiated claims that a close examination of the signatures accompanying mail-in ballots would turn up enough disputed votes to erase Biden’s lead in the states that Trump lost.
It’s all about the signatures on the envelopes. Why are the Democrats fighting so hard to hide them. We will find massive numbers of fraudulent ballots. The signatures won’t match. Fight hard Republicans. Don’t let them destroy the evidence! https://t.co/qN2jHGeWEN — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2020
Trump continued to retweet posts from his dwindling number of GOP supporters and media outlets who still pay lip service to his thoroughly discredited claims of electoral malfeasance.
He then took a brief pause to respond to the media reports that he skipped out on the portion of the virtual G20 summit of world leaders dedicated to “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” to go golfing at his own Virginia resort yesterday with a defensive post slamming the media for reporting the facts of his brief appearance at the summit inaccurately.
Just arrived at Virtual G20. Was here yesterday also (early), but some of the Fake News Media failed to report it accurately – as usual. My speech is available (they said I didn’t make a speech). — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2020
It apparently didn’t occur to the president that if he was busy tweeting while attending the summit then he certainly wasn’t paying a bit of attention to the proceedings.
Not that the contributions to the virtual gathering of world leaders made by a president who will be leaving office in less than two months would be of any significance anyway.
This post does raise an interesting metaphysical question, however. How does one actually arrive at a virtual meeting?
Whatever the answer to that existential query, Trump soon returned to posting statements custom-made to undermine America’s faith in its democratic processes.
Twitter’s content moderators seem to be sleeping in on this Sunday morning since they let this tweet slip by without a warning of its disputed nature, at least until you clicked through to see the full post and the replies it garnered.
Other than politics, how do you lose a case where large numbers of voters, far more than you need to flip Pennsylvania, are disenfranchised? Vote Observers thrown out of counting rooms. People going to vote finding out they have already voted through a fake ballot – go home! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2020
Suffice it to say that the reason that the claim is disputed is that neither Trump nor his shrinking team of lawyers have been able to provide a shred of evidence that his accusations have any semblance of truth to them.
One has to wonder if Trump is visible to the foreign leaders during the virtual summit and if they can see him typing away on his iPhone as he ignores the proceedings in which he is ostensibly participating.
He must have found the sessions exceedingly disinteresting since he found the time to squeeze in an attack on one of the Republican Governors who have condemned his legal assault on the integrity of the elections as a despicable RINO.
Report: Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Anti-Trump Hero, Paid for Flawed Coronavirus Tests from South Korea https://t.co/PHV7euutVb via @BreitbartNews. This RINO will never make the grade. Hogan is just as bad as the flawed tests he paid big money for! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2020
Trump’s attack on Maryland Governor Hogan is as predictable as his continued refusal to accept his defeat, as he plans his future as a disruptive opposition figure who has set himself up as a victim of an unjust and corrupt electoral system and as someone who will dominate the Grand Old Party’s future going forward.
As of press time, there was no word on whether Trump was planning on skipping out on today’s G-20 session again today to hit the links.
If he does, it’s not likely that the world leaders will miss his meager contributions to the dialog especially since the incoming Biden administration is likely to reverse any major foreign policy decisions that Trump may make in his remaining weeks in power.
We have only 59 days left before Biden takes office, but if Donald Trump’s Twitter feed is any indication, the chances of requiring the Secret Service to physically remove him from the White House seem more and more likely every day that he continues his cynical refutation of the legitimacy of the election results.
Knowing Trump, we may be witness to an unprecedented spectacle in this unique presidential transition.
If they decided to televise his removal as a pay per view event, the nation could probably retire a significant portion of the national debt.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-24--Trump authorizes Biden Harris transition funds to be released and social media rejoices

It certainly seemed like something was up today at the White House .
After all , Donald Trump ’ s Twitter feed had fallen silent since yesterday evening , something that rarely has occurred during the entire course of his presidency .
Then , as if the magic that Trump claimed the COVID-19 virus would disappear like began to work , the tweet suddenly appeared .
While not exactly a concession — and still promoting the delusional motion that his legal fight to overturn the ballots of hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters can succeed — the pressure from senior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have finally convinced Trump to allow the servile obstructionist heading the General Services Administration to begin authorizing the funds for the Biden-Harris transition to be released so that the work of preparing for the new administration can move forward unimpeded .
Twitter commenters rejoiced at the news that reason , order , and normalcy may be finally returning to America ’ s political life , if ever so slowly , but spared Donald Trump no mercy over his continued insistence that he will continue to contest the foregone conclusion that the vote counts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dentistry , perhaps pulling teeth is no longer the right metaphor to describe what it ’ s like to get Trump to make a final admission of defeat .
But in the absence of a formal concession statement — one that Trump ’ s fragile ego is unlikely to ever allow himself to deliver — this tweet is likely to be the closest we ’ ll come to a realization by the current president that he is as big a loser as his Twitter detractors ( and the vote tallies ) say that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the feeling while you can .
Trump still has 57 days and 17 hours left with his hands on the levers of power , and his track record shows that anything is still possible .
We want to hear what YOU have to say .

…fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 23, 2020
While not exactly a concession — and still promoting the delusional motion that his legal fight to overturn the ballots of hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters can succeed — the pressure from senior Republican politicians and leading corporate CEOs must have finally convinced Trump to allow the servile obstructionist heading the General Services Administration to begin authorizing the funds for the Biden-Harris transition to be released so that the work of preparing for the new administration can move forward unimpeded.
Twitter commenters rejoiced at the news that reason, order, and normalcy may be finally returning to America’s political life, if ever so slowly, but spared Donald Trump no mercy over his continued insistence that he will continue to contest the foregone conclusion that the vote counts indicate.
admitting that you're a loser is the first step towards recovery — Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) November 23, 2020

In the age of modern dentistry, perhaps pulling teeth is no longer the right metaphor to describe what it’s like to get Trump to make a final admission of defeat.

Sit back and enjoy the feeling while you can.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-23--Biden-Harris transition team announces new ethics rules in response to the Trump swamp

That ’ s the scent of fresh air sweeping through the corridors of power as the detritus of the Mar-a-Lago swamp gets power-washed away .
The transition team for President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Harris issued their Code of Ethical Conduct and Ethics Plan today containing the rules that will govern the members of their team during the period until the inauguration .
According to the press release accompanying the guidelines , the plan is designed to “ ensure the transition team members are held to clear and enforceable ethics standards.
” The contrast with the behavior of the administration of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with the provisions of the ethics rules seemingly written to address the worst ethical abuses that had become an everyday occurrence with the current regime .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
While the standards published for the transition will expire and be replaced with a new administration ethics pledge after the inauguration , the five standards published demonstrate a sharp break with the corruption that has dominated a Trump administration that has never met a corporate favor that it wasn ’ t willing to bend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to grant , no matter how much it may have harmed the environment or the average American .
This provision alone would mark a dramatic turnaround from a Trump administration that has been marked by its willingness to allow even cabinet members like Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to fail to divest his extensive financial holdings , creating a substantial conflict of interest , just one of an alarming number of swampy violations of ethical government behavior in the Republican administration .
With several GOP senators having been caught burnishing their stock portfolios with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coronavirus outbreak , enabling them to avoid catastrophic losses with information not available to the general public , this provision is long overdue and a major change from the practices of the current administration .
The entire Mike Flynn debacle could have been avoided had the shambolic Trump transition team followed this guideline when they began in 2016 .
This is quite a change from the practices of the Trump administration where it was practically de rigueur to appoint former lobbyists to oversee the agencies that oversee the businesses that they represented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a set of guidelines that don ’ t mean squat unless they are vigorously enforced .
The final provision published by the Biden-Harris Transition aims to ensure compliance through the appointment of a General Counsel tasked with policing the code .
The rotting carcass of Republican corruption is being buried , hopefully for good .

Take a deep breath.
Smell that?
That’s the scent of fresh air sweeping through the corridors of power as the detritus of the Mar-a-Lago swamp gets power-washed away.
The transition team for President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Harris issued their Code of Ethical Conduct and Ethics Plan today containing the rules that will govern the members of their team during the period until the inauguration.
According to the press release accompanying the guidelines, the plan is designed to “ensure the transition team members are held to clear and enforceable ethics standards.”
“Consistent with Vice President Biden’s long-standing commitment to honest government, the Biden-Harris Code and Plan go beyond the requirements of the Presidential Transition Act,” the press release states.
The contrast with the behavior of the administration of President-reject Donald Trump could not be starker, with the provisions of the ethics rules seemingly written to address the worst ethical abuses that had become an everyday occurrence with the current regime.
Add your name to tell Trump: You Lost! Concede!
While the standards published for the transition will expire and be replaced with a new administration ethics pledge after the inauguration, the five standards published demonstrate a sharp break with the corruption that has dominated a Trump administration that has never met a corporate favor that it wasn’t willing to bend or eliminate the rules for in order to grant, no matter how much it may have harmed the environment or the average American.
The standards include:
Transition team members may not work on particular matters where they have a financial conflict of interest and must seek the General Counsel’s advice before working on a matter where there is a potential appearance of conflict.
This provision alone would mark a dramatic turnaround from a Trump administration that has been marked by its willingness to allow even cabinet members like Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to fail to divest his extensive financial holdings, creating a substantial conflict of interest, just one of an alarming number of swampy violations of ethical government behavior in the Republican administration.
Transition team members may not trade individual stocks, without clearance from the General Counsel, to avoid even the appearance that transition team members could use private information for personal gain.
With several GOP senators having been caught burnishing their stock portfolios with insider information in the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, enabling them to avoid catastrophic losses with information not available to the general public, this provision is long overdue and a major change from the practices of the current administration.
Any transition team member who has personally represented, aided, or advised a foreign government or foreign political party in the last 12 months must receive prior approval from the General Counsel before working on the Transition. Additionally, transition team members cannot represent, aid, or advise a foreign government or political party while serving on the transition or for 12 months after the transition.
The entire Mike Flynn debacle could have been avoided had the shambolic Trump transition team followed this guideline when they began in 2016.
Federally registered lobbyists, or people who have been federally registered lobbyists in the last 12 months, require approval of the General Counsel to work on the transition team. Regardless of whether a team member is a registered lobbyist, transition team members cannot work on matters for which they conducted lobbying activity in the last 12 months or anticipate conducting lobbying activity for the 12 months after transition without approval of the General Counsel.
This is quite a change from the practices of the Trump administration where it was practically de rigueur to appoint former lobbyists to oversee the agencies that oversee the businesses that they represented.
To ensure compliance, the General Counsel has been designated to oversee and enforce the Biden-Harris Code.
Of course, anyone can publish a set of guidelines that don’t mean squat unless they are vigorously enforced. The final provision published by the Biden-Harris Transition aims to ensure compliance through the appointment of a General Counsel tasked with policing the code.
Take another deep breath.
It’s OK. It’s safe now.
The rotting carcass of Republican corruption is being buried, hopefully for good.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-23--Christmas tree event backfires as Melania’s profanity-laden holiday decoration tape goes viral

While we will soon be rid of the Trump infestation of the White House , we still have to weather one more holiday season with these monsters as our leaders .
Donald Trump has been conspicuously absent from the public eye , preferring instead to blast out sporadic tweets packed with lies about how the election was stolen for him .
First Lady Melania popped her head up today to receive the White House Christmas tree , an event that took on a different cast this year now that we know how she really feels about holiday decorating .
Last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff released a recording of Melania in 2018 whining about having to handle Christmas planning duties at 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue .
The profanity-laden rant came as a particularly ironic surprise given the manner in which Republicans are constantly accusing Democrats of waging a “ War on Christmas.
” “ I ’ m working my a– off with the Christmas stuff that , you know , who gives a f*ck about Christmas stuff and decorations but I need to do it , right ?
” Melania can be heard saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have no choice , ” replies Winston Wolkoff .
“ Okay , and then I do it .
And I say that I ’ m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas .
And they said ‘ Ooh , what about the children that they were separated ?
Give me a f*cking break , ” Melania added , sounding eerily similar to her odious husband .
Melania ’ s stated aversion to Christmas didn ’ t stop her from receiving the White House tree today , but a clip of her doing so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surrounding her wore masks to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 , Melania showed up without one , once again proving that this administration could not care less about setting a responsible example for Americans .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
The coronavirus has ripped through senior officials and one would think that the fact that President Trump and the First Lady have both had the virus would prompt her to demonstrate a little more caution .
Instead , she flouted safety precautions , implicitly encouraging MAGA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process .
Twitter users quickly piled criticisms on the First Lady and the Christmas decoration audio recording once again went viral .

occupydemocrats--2020-11-23--NJ Congressman files complaints in five key states to disbar Giuliani and other Trump attorneys

A Democratic congressman from New Jersey has had enough of Donald Trump ’ s post-defeat temper tantrum and is now fighting back by going after the legal team that has filed so many baseless lawsuits contesting the results of the election .
Representative Bill Pascrell ( D-NJ ) has filed suit in five different states trying to disbar the lead attorney spearheading Trump ’ s legal team and 22 other lawyers involved in filing what he considers frivolous motions seeking to invalidate lawfully cast ballots in crucial swing states and overturn the legitimate results of the election to hand Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together in extraordinary and increasingly dangerous national circumstances .
At present , our sitting President has refused to accept the outcome of our national election and is attacking the integrity of our electoral system to keep himself in power , ” the frustrated congressman said in explaining his motivations in embarking on the legal actions .
“ The pattern of behavior by these individuals to effectuate Mr. Trump ’ s sinister arson is a danger not just to our legal system but is also unprecedented in our national life.
” Add your name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Concede !
Trump ’ s battery of attorneys has been shrinking as reputable firms have withdrawn from representing the lame-duck president , likely because of a paucity of evidence to support the claims that Trump wants them to make in the courts and because of the fear of the damage being associated with the circus-like efforts to undermine our democracy will have on their reputations .
In hindsight , those firms that abandoned the sinking Trump campaign ship early may have been prescient given the threat of disbarment that Congressman Pascrell ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign and its GOP allies have lost or been forced to withdraw 32 of the cases that they brought in their election disputes , Rep. Pascrell charged Giuliani and the other members of his legal task force with repeatedly filing frivolous lawsuits with the unstated goal of destroying American citizens ’ confidence in the country ’ s electoral systems .
Congressman Pascrell made the charges in letters to bar associations and legal authorities in New York , Nevada , Michigan , Pennsylvania , and Arizona .
While New York is not a swing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list , it is a major market for legal services and a disbarment in the state could have serious consequences for the future earnings prospects for Giuliani and the other Trump attorneys .
New York ’ s rules of professional conduct for licensed lawyers prohibit the filing of frivolous lawsuits and classify dishonesty , fraud , deceit , or misrepresentations as professional misconduct .
For an administration that has yet to face any serious consequences for its violation of democratic norms , Congressman Pascrell ’ s move to sanction the attorneys leading the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s delusional conspiracy theories about the election — one that he lost by over six million votes — may be the most effective way to bring the campaign ’ s spurious challenges to a halt .
It certainly would be emotionally satisfying to see at least some of the players in Trump ’ s clown car campaign face consequences for the trauma they have caused to the people of our country .
It may not be quite as satisfying as seeing Trump , his family , and his Republican enablers held legally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it ’ s at least a good start .

Pascrell charged Giuliani and the other members of his legal task force with repeatedly filing frivolous lawsuits with the unstated goal of destroying American citizens’ confidence in the country’s electoral systems.
Congressman Pascrell made the charges in letters to bar associations and legal authorities in New York, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona.
“These states’ administration of their elections were strong, and there is no evidence of systemic malfeasance or fraud in any of them,” Pascrell said. “Nevertheless, Mr. Giuliani has participated in the filing a series of absurd lawsuits seeking to overturn the will of the voters in these states and has caused irreversible damage to the public trust in the fair administration of our elections.”
While New York is not a swing state like the four others on the list, it is a major market for legal services and a disbarment in the state could have serious consequences for the future earnings prospects for Giuliani and the other Trump attorneys. New York’s rules of professional conduct for licensed lawyers prohibit the filing of frivolous lawsuits and classify dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentations as professional misconduct.
“In carrying out that perversion, they have clearly violated the Rules of Professional Conduct they swore to uphold and should face the severest sanction your body can mete out: revocation of their law licensures,” Rep. Pascrell indignantly insisted.
For an administration that has yet to face any serious consequences for its violation of democratic norms, Congressman Pascrell’s move to sanction the attorneys leading the legal charge enabling and defending Donald Trump’s delusional conspiracy theories about the election — one that he lost by over six million votes — may be the most effective way to bring the campaign’s spurious challenges to a halt.
It certainly would be emotionally satisfying to see at least some of the players in Trump’s clown car campaign face consequences for the trauma they have caused to the people of our country.
It may not be quite as satisfying as seeing Trump, his family, and his Republican enablers held legally and financially accountable for their misdeeds, but it’s at least a good start.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-23--Don Jr. desperately tries to staunch bleeding as Republicans shun Georgia Senate candidates

President Trump ’ s shameful and baseless accusations of mass voter fraud in the wake of President-elect Biden ’ s resounding victory have had the immediate effect of convincing many Republicans that the election was stolen and that our voting systems are fundamentally compromised .
In order to rationalize this completely ludicrous worldview , the MAGA movement has had to concoct all manner of convoluted conspiracies and in the process , some GOP officials have found themselves slammed with rhetorical friendly fire .
Conservatives , unable to accept that Georgia flipped blue this year , have started to attack the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of state for properly certifying Biden ’ s win .
For decades , the Republican Party has cultivated toxic paranoia in its base and now the crazed chickens are coming home to roost .
Their delusional perception of reality is coming up against cold hard reality and rather than adjusting their beliefs to fit the facts they ’ re looking for people to blame .
As a result , some Republicans are starting to worry that they could see decreased voter turnout in the upcoming Georgia Senate runoffs—the two elections which will decide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A campaign has sprung up on social media urging conservatives to write-in Donald Trump ’ s name instead of voting for Senate candidates David Perdue or Kelly Loeffler .
It ’ s unclear whether the initiative is being pushed by liberals hoping to exploit disillusioned MAGA supporters or a genuine outgrowth of the movement ’ s twisted pathologies .
In either case , it ’ s a deeply funny development .
Trump attorney Lin Wood has even suggested that voters threaten to shun Loeffler and Perdue in order to extract political concessions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : You Lost !
Concede !
Right-wing concerns about the runoffs are growing so intense that Donald Trump Jr. felt the need to speak out on the subject .
He took to Twitter to say that he is seeing people telling Georgians not to vote for Loeffler and Perdue and that the idea is “ NONSENSE ” and that voters should “ IGNORE ” such exhortations .
“ We need ALL of our people coming out to vote for Kelly & David , ” he added .
While it ’ s unclear what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have on the election what is clear is that the Democratic candidates need all the support they can get .
Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock are courageous , visionary leaders ready to help get American back on track and put Trumpism in the rearview .
By electing them , Georgia can ram the final nails into the coffin of MAGA .
Inevitably , the responses to Jr. ’ s tweet was a mixture of mockery , anger , and trolling .

occupydemocrats--2020-11-25--Trump calls into Giuliani’s sham election “hearing” to deliver deranged rant on speakerphone

When the news broke that Donald Trump had canceled his planned trip to a meeting with Republican Pennsylvania legislators this morning to discuss his spurious claims of a stolen election , one could briefly believe that perhaps his ludicrous charade of contesting the election results as fraudulent — despite a lick of evidence — was finally coming to an end .
The reality of the rejected president ’ s refusal to give up his carefully constructed fiction soon put an end to that hopeful outcome .
Instead of accompanying his perpetually-losing legal mouthpieces , headed by lead lawyers Rudy Giuliani @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meeting , Trump decided to treat the whole affair like another episode of Fox and Friends , deciding to address the assembled GOP co-conspirators through his phoned-in comments .
Whether someone at the White House decided that it wasn ’ t worth the time and expense to travel to Pennsylvania for an exercise that will end either in futility or the destruction of the will of the state ’ s electorate or whether Trump was simply too lazy to get up early enough to make the journey will be something that journalists or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the sight of masked attorney Jenna Ellis holding up a mobile phone to a microphone to allow Trump to speak to the partisan group of lawmakers — a group that his administration has convinced to examine his unfounded accusations of sufficient election irregularities to overturn the votes of Pennsylvania ’ s citizens — was a sight almost as ludicrous as the conspiracy theories that the defeated president began to spout the moment that he began to speak to the crowd .
Vox ‘ s Aaron Rupar monitored the proceedings and posted these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the level of self-delusion that Trump is still trying to convince others to adopt to create the illusion that , despite receiving more than six million fewer votes than Joe Biden , he was the real winner of the election .
Yes , you heard it straight from the horse ’ s-ass ’ mouth .
Trump is directly asking Pennsylvania ’ s Republican state legislators to ignore the clearly and legally determined voting tally — one that every judge in the state who was asked to examine it has determined to have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improper interference — and to simply award the state ’ s electors to him based solely on his unsubstantiated and self-interested beliefs .
If this man hadn ’ t been installed in the presidency by an election that Democrats had much better reasons to contest than Trump is offering now , such reality-bending statements would likely lead to an involuntary commitment to a mental institution .
And he wasn ’ t even done .
The only fraud being perpetrated here is Trump ’ s own attempt to use these worthless media events to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election among his less than well-informed followers and shake them down for cash to continue funding his destabilizing efforts to destroy the underpinnings of American democracy .
Aaron Rupar summed up the entire condemnable proceedings with a perfect meme .
But it was Pennsylvania ’ s Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro who took to Twitter to inject some truth and facts into the conversation over the flailing president ’ s continued efforts to deny the reality of his Sisyphean crusade to overturn his loss .
At this point , it ’ s unclear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ displays of loser ’ s pique will accomplish anything other than making him feel better temporarily .
That the Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania who applaud Trump so enthusiastically would even agree to hear his pathetic pleas to save his butt while undermining the most sacred principles of our republic indicates that citizens in that state need to do some significant housecleaning in their legislature to remove the enemies of democracy .
If these GOP loonies are even capable of considering Trump ’ s entreaties , they can ’ t be entrusted with representing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

The reality of the rejected president’s refusal to give up his carefully constructed fiction soon put an end to that hopeful outcome.
Instead of accompanying his perpetually-losing legal mouthpieces, headed by lead lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, to the democracy-shredding meeting, Trump decided to treat the whole affair like another episode of Fox and Friends, deciding to address the assembled GOP co-conspirators through his phoned-in comments.
Whether someone at the White House decided that it wasn’t worth the time and expense to travel to Pennsylvania for an exercise that will end either in futility or the destruction of the will of the state’s electorate or whether Trump was simply too lazy to get up early enough to make the journey will be something that journalists or future historians may eventually discover.
Still, the sight of masked attorney Jenna Ellis holding up a mobile phone to a microphone to allow Trump to speak to the partisan group of lawmakers — a group that his administration has convinced to examine his unfounded accusations of sufficient election irregularities to overturn the votes of Pennsylvania’s citizens — was a sight almost as ludicrous as the conspiracy theories that the defeated president began to spout the moment that he began to speak to the crowd.
Vox‘s Aaron Rupar monitored the proceedings and posted these convenient excerpts to allow you to witness the level of self-delusion that Trump is still trying to convince others to adopt to create the illusion that, despite receiving more than six million fewer votes than Joe Biden, he was the real winner of the election.

Yes, you heard it straight from the horse’s-ass’ mouth. Trump is directly asking Pennsylvania’s Republican state legislators to ignore the clearly and legally determined voting tally — one that every judge in the state who was asked to examine it has determined to have been conducted lawfully and without any sort of improper interference — and to simply award the state’s electors to him based solely on his unsubstantiated and self-interested beliefs.
If this man hadn’t been installed in the presidency by an election that Democrats had much better reasons to contest than Trump is offering now, such reality-bending statements would likely lead to an involuntary commitment to a mental institution.

The sitting president’s remarks today were devoid of reality. The election is over. Pennsylvania has certified results & declared Joe Biden the winner of our Commonwealth. Lying through a cell phone at a fake hearing changes nothing. — Josh Shapiro (@JoshShapiroPA) November 25, 2020
At this point, it’s unclear if even Trump believes that these circus-like displays of loser’s pique will accomplish anything other than making him feel better temporarily.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-25--Trump resurrects his “suckers and losers” scandal and weirdly tweets about the “roaring 20’s”

As he sits in the White House watching the last days of his failed presidency flitter by , Trump seems uninterested in doing little more than tweeting .
His social media feed is a mix of retweets of delusional messages from his dead-end supporters and tweets he himself penned to make false claims that the election was stolen through deliberate , widespread voter fraud .
It ’ s proving to be a pathetic , ignominious end for the worst president in American history and exactly the kind of petulant farewell many of his critics expected from him .
Today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election misinformation campaign to bring up the old allegations that he referred to dead American WWI soldiers as “ suckers and losers.
” Trump claimed the reliable report has been “ proven to be a total fabrication and lie , ” which is itself a lie .
The administration denied the scandalous accusations at the time , but the administration is known for its flagrant mendacity .
Since day one they have done nothing but lie to the American people so there is absolutely no reason to believe these denials now .
Add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lost !
Concede !
After all , Donald Trump is the man who evaded service in the Vietnam War by claiming that he had bone spurs .
He ’ s the same man who mocked John McCain for being a POW and attacked the family of a Gold Star recipient .
For him , the military has never been anything more than a convenient political prop .
He has no real respect for service .
“ IT WAS NEVER MADE !
” Trump went on in his tweet , adding that the claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ fabricator , who is a major sleaze.
” He then said that “ 25 strong witnesses ” deny that he said such a thing about dead soldiers but conveniently failed to mention who these supposed witnesses were .
“ Welcome to the roaring 20 ’ s !
” he ended the tweet in an apparent non sequitur .
All in all , it was a supremely weird tweet with little explanation .
Perhaps as he sits around pondering his loss it has dawned on him that his heinous remarks about the military @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Maybe he ’ s thinking about 2024 and wants to push back on old negative stories about him .
Who can really tell what goes on in the degenerating brain of a monster such as this ?
Luckily , soon we will no longer have to care .

occupydemocrats--2020-11-25--Trump makes last-minute push to bring back firing squads and electric chair executions

Like a stench that lingers in a room long after the rotting carcass has been removed , the legacy of the Donald Trump debacle of a presidency will stay with America even after he finally is dragged kicking and screaming from the White House .
In the most nefarious waddling of his lame-duck weeks ahead , the Trump administration is setting up a minefield of last-minute policy changes in federal regulations that can be implemented without the pesky input of Congress and may prove difficult for the incoming Biden-Harris administration to undo quickly .
A new article at ProPublica details @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being fast-tracked to be put in place before the reins of power are so ever-begrudgingly transferred to President-elect Biden .
The changes are almost universally designed to advance a pro-business , right-wing agenda that undercuts protections for workers and the environment , advances Trump ’ s anti-immigrant obsessions , and re-introduces barbaric execution methods into the federal arsenal of criminal punishment .
What ’ s even worse is that many of these new regulations — or , more appropriately , these regulatory rollbacks – will be difficult for the incoming Biden administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ metaphorical land-mining of the political landscape in the face of an advancing army of rationality .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
One small example of the types of changes that the Trump administration is trying to force through in record time is adjusting the speed with which chicken factories can operate their processing lines .
While faster processing lines can increase profits for big agriculture , it can also lead to more worker injuries and more frequent salmonella outbreaks .
Other changes being rushed through cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the electric chair as acceptable execution methods in federal death penalty cases to the implementation of further restrictions on immigration by asylum seekers .
Even Donald Trump ’ s infamous obsession with water pressure and toilet flow is being addressed through newly loosened efficiency standards that ignore the opposition of appliance manufacturers due to the higher consumption and waste that they will engender .
While some of these new regulations may be able to be overturned by legal challenges , particularly if the Trump administration takes illegal shortcuts in seeking public comments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implement and publish them , some moves , like the expedited granting of mining leases in previously pristine federal wilderness lands , will be much harder to reverse and can result in permanent ecological damage at a time when the planet is already suffering from a devastating climate emergency .

“The bottom line is the Trump administration is trying to get things published in the Federal Register, leaving the next administration to sort out the mess,” said Matthew Kent, a regulatory policy tracker for the progressive advocacy group Public Citizen. “There are some real roadblocks to Biden being able to wave a magic wand on these.”

According to ProPublica:

occupydemocrats--2020-11-25--Adam Schiff slams “organized crime figure” Trump over his rumored last minute pardons

As we enter the final days of the Trump presidency we should expect the administration ’ s corruption to escalate rather than taper off .
Now that he and his cronies know they won ’ t have another four years to pillage the public coffers and indulge in their worst kleptocratic tendencies they ’ ll be racing to pack in as much as wrongdoing as possible before the end .
Yesterday , Axios reported that the president is considering a series of pardons including one for his disgraced former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn , a convicted criminal who was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the Russia investigation .
If executed , the pardon of Flynn and other criminals would serve as a final middle finger to our justice system and incite Trump ’ s base , perhaps in anticipation of a 2024 run .
Donald Trump has never respected our laws and now that he ’ s lost the election he ’ s lost any incentive to even pretend otherwise .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Today , Rep. Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) , one of Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four years and a staunch defender of our democracy , slammed the president ’ s pardon plan during an appearance on CNN ’ s New Day .
“ It just , frankly , reflects so ill on our democracy , on the United States .
Imagine what people around the world think when we have a president who ’ s acting like an organized crime figure , ” said Schiff .
“ But this is who Donald Trump is .
It ’ s who he was on the way into the presidency .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on his last days of the presidency , ” he added .
“ You don ’ t dispute that he has the absolute power and authority to pardon though do you ?
” asked host John Berman .
“ Well , it ’ s not absolute .
With respect to Mike Flynn , he may have the power to provide a pardon assuming that it ’ s not on the basis of some illicit quid pro quo , ” explained Schiff .
“ But nonetheless he can ’ t pardon himself in my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can try but I don ’ t think it would hold up in court if ultimately there was a case brought against him .
And there are other limitations.
” It remains to be seen whether or not Trump will follow through with his scheme but given what we know about this man it seems likely .
It ’ s detestable yet fitting that his final acts as president would be the same as most acts he committed throughout his tenure : crooked beyond measure .

“Well, it’s not absolute.

It remains to be seen whether or not Trump will follow through with his scheme but given what we know about this man it seems likely. It’s detestable yet fitting that his final acts as president would be the same as most acts he committed throughout his tenure: crooked beyond measure.
President Trump is “acting like an organized crime figure,” @RepAdamSchiff says about a possible pardon for Michael Flynn.
“But this is who Donald Trump is. It's who he was on the way into the presidency. It will be exactly who he is on his last days of the presidency.” pic.twitter.com/ULtD5pBHFG — New Day (@NewDay) November 25, 2020

occupydemocrats--2020-11-24--Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez owns Senator Ted Cruz in their latest social media smackdown

As the inauguration of Joe Biden as our 46th president now seems all but assured — barring any other last-minute desperation plays by Donald Trump — the eyes of the nation rightfully turn towards dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic turmoil .
Unfortunately , with the politicization of public health measures and pandemic financial relief efforts during the run-up to the election , the task ahead for the incoming Biden administration looks daunting , especially with control of the Senate yet to be determined .
While the House of Representatives passed a generous and comprehensive relief bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McConnell has prevented the measure from even being brought up for consideration in his chamber , arguing that the $ 2 trillion dollar relief package should only cost closer to around $ 500 billion and that corporations would need to be granted immunity from any coronavirus liability suits before they would even consider passing a bill to benefit the millions of Americans who ’ ve lost their jobs — and may soon be losing their homes — on account of the pandemic .
Progressive firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her frustration with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis caused by the outbreak in a tweet and then found herself engaging in a Twitter feud with one of the most sniveling of Trump ’ s senatorial lapdogs , Senator Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) .
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez ’ s initial tweet didn ’ t target Senator Cruz individually , but mostly assigned blame to Senator McConnell .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Cruz saw AOC ’ s tweet and replied with a gaslighting statement that tried to pin the blame for the failure for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats who have already offered substantial compromises to the bill that they have already passed .
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez couldn ’ t let Senator Cruz get away with such inaccurate political propaganda without challenging the massive inaccuracies that it contained .
She set the Texas senator straight in her reply .
The Bronx-born Congresswoman emerges from that verbal duel with a gold medal in fact-checking .
Meanwhile , Senator Cruz is exposed as one of the group of heartless Republicans who blocked access to much-needed relief while gambling with the lives and livelihoods of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their pandemic-minimizing— and losing — presidential candidate .
Now that the election has been decided , one would hope that the GOP leaders would drop the pretense and relent on their opposition to helping the millions of Americans whose economic situation has grown so dire .
Senator Cruz ’ s tweet indicates that until the Democratic candidates in the Senate run-off elections in Georgia win and give President-elect Biden the Senate majority that he ’ ll need to quickly advance his pandemic relief agenda , many Americans will continue to suffer needlessly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in your power to ensure a victory for Rev .

Unfortunately, with the politicization of public health measures and pandemic financial relief efforts during the run-up to the election, the task ahead for the incoming Biden administration looks daunting, especially with control of the Senate yet to be determined.
While the House of Representatives passed a generous and comprehensive relief bill months ago, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has prevented the measure from even being brought up for consideration in his chamber, arguing that the $2 trillion dollar relief package should only cost closer to around $500 billion and that corporations would need to be granted immunity from any coronavirus liability suits before they would even consider passing a bill to benefit the millions of Americans who’ve lost their jobs — and may soon be losing their homes — on account of the pandemic.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s initial tweet didn’t target Senator Cruz individually, but mostly assigned blame to Senator McConnell.
People across the country are going hungry, COVID is set to explode, and Mitch McConnell dismissed the Senate last week. I don’t know how these people can sleep at night. I really don’t. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 23, 2020

Why is your party filibustering $500 billion in COVID relief? And Joe Biden is cheering them on. Thinking that blocking relief somehow helps Dems win Georgia. https://t.co/b8PvuUpSa3 — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 23, 2020
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t let Senator Cruz get away with such inaccurate political propaganda without challenging the massive inaccuracies that it contained.
She set the Texas senator straight in her reply.
I hope someone else runs Cruz’s Twitter account because it’d be pretty embarrassing if a US Senator didn’t know this. Almost as embarrassing as when Sen. @JohnCornyn didn’t appear to know that Puerto Ricans don’t get to vote in the Presidential — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 23, 2020

occupydemocrats--2020-11-24--Ivanka Trump dogpiled after clueless brag about her dad’s climate legacy

The degradation of environmental protections has been one of the hallmark policies of a Trump administration more interested in generating profits for the energy industry — companies that remain steadfast Republican political donors — than in preserving the health and safety of the planet ’ s inhabitants .
From Donald Trump ’ s reversal of our nation ’ s commitment to follow the protocols of the Paris Climate Accord to his authorization of energy leases in previously pristine federal wilderness land to his appointment of agency leaders hostile to environmentalists ’ agendas in key government positions , every move made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global climate emergency has pushed our nation further away from addressing the most pressing existential issue of our time .
It ’ s not surprising , therefore , that when first daughter Ivanka Trump took to Twitter to crow about a remarkable 9.2 % predicted reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the United States this year , she faced considerable pushback from the astute commentators on her post .
The post seemed to infer that Trump administration policies were responsible for the rare good news about the climate-damaging emissions levels generated by our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that may actually be true .
Unfortunately , it was not the environmental policies that caused the reduction in greenhouse gasses , but the administration ’ s failed policies in containing the COVID-19 virus — subsequently leading to a shutdown of so many major industries and a lockdown that kept people from commuting in their cars to their workplaces — that has led to the unexpected dip in pollutants , as the comments on Ivanka ’ s tweets reminded her .
Ivanka may not be getting quite the response to her post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s difficult to feel sorry for her as she starts packing her bags to face the scorn of the world outside her Trump bubble in Washington DC and has to try to fit back into polite New York society .
Perhaps she should have pushed what is her likely faux environmental concerns a little harder to help steer her father ’ s policies so we wouldn ’ t need a failed pandemic response to achieve a greenhouse gas reduction milestone .

The post seemed to infer that Trump administration policies were responsible for the rare good news about the climate-damaging emissions levels generated by our country and, in a twisted way, that may actually be true.

occupydemocrats--2020-11-24--Social media has a ball concocting hilarious scenarios for “Trump in 2024”

Donald Trump will soon willingly vacate White House grounds or be escorted off and the Biden administration will take over .
While the defeated Republican leader has still refused to concede and will probably never do so , his people have finally begun the transition process .
Biden will be your 46th president and the GOP knows it .
Trump , who still falsely claims that mass voter fraud stole the election from him , is reportedly already entertaining the idea of another run for president in 2024 .
There is no law forbidding a president from pursuing a second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not out of the question .
It ’ s unclear how seriously Trump is considering the option , but if he were to announce far in advance it would have the advantage of allowing him to remain in the limelight to service his turgid ego .
At the same time , it could allow him to disingenuously paint any investigations into his administration ’ s countless crimes and boundless corruption as purely political in nature and geared towards 2024 .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the majority of Republicans , 54 % , prefer Donald Trump as their 2024 nominee .
Another poll , from Seven Letter Insight , found that 2/3 of Republicans support the idea of another Trump run , a clear sign that the party has learned nothing from the last four disastrous years and that Trumpism has rotted the GOP to its very core .
Barring some cataclysmic shift in the party ’ s values ( or demonstrable lack thereof ) , Democrats will be facing a neofascist party at the ballot box @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pounced on the idea of Trump 2024 , cooking up some hilarious predictions , many of them built around the idea of Trump serving time in prison .
Hopefully , that ends up being the actual end to his story .
America has already suffered enough and the last thing we need now is another Trumpian campaign of racism , xenophobia , and conspiracy theorizing .

Trump, who still falsely claims that mass voter fraud stole the election from him, is reportedly already entertaining the idea of another run for president in 2024.
