occupydemocrats--2020-12-12--Sheer insanity unfolds in D.C. as fanatic Trumpers rally to “Stop the Steal”

It appears that with every defeat — and boy , have there been many defeats — for soon-to-be-ex-president Donald J. Trump , the deeper his fans fall into their own hysterical delusions and conspiracies .
A “ March For Trump !
” rally was held in Washington D.C. this afternoon , and it was an absolutely terrifying glimpse into the pure , uncut insanity that has possessed Trump ’ s most loyal fans .
Strap in , folks , because you are about to lose some sanity points .
The most disturbing part of the show were the religious leaders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s ham-fisted and enormously incompetent attempts to overturn the election as a “ spiritual battle ” and portrayed Trump as some kind of Messiah figure beset by the forces of demonic Democrats .
As if things weren ’ t weird enough already , there were a pair of MAGA rappers who hyped up the crowd with a song about gun-loving patriots , Roger Stone , and Bill Gates ’ COVID vaccine conspiracies .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
But one of the most curious events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( kicked off for hate speech ) Nicholas J. Fuentes that they were going to “ destroy the GOP ” because they weren ’ t fighting hard enough to save Trump .
It really is quite ironic to see the vast majority of the GOP feed the brain worms that live in the heads of MAGA fanatics by publicly engaging with the President ’ s ridiculous efforts to subvert our democracy and steal the election only to be accused of not fighting hard enough to keep Trump as president and have the rabble @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it wouldn ’ t be a Trump rally in D.C. without a fascist gang of Proud Boys showing up and going on a stabbing spree .
Taken all together , these videos paint a grim future of the future of an America where fascist gangs freely roam the streets while authoritarian hog despots are lionized as religious icons by radical extremist preachers .
Thousands of people showed up to this rally in D.C. today ; god only knows how many more people are fully bought into this alternate vision of reality — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the damage he ’ s done to their minds isn ’ t going anywhere .

occupydemocrats--2020-12-12--Trump freaks out on Twitter after his Supreme Court judges refuse to hear his case

Last night , the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear the preposterous lawsuit filed by the state of Texas challenging Joe Biden ’ s victory in the 2020 elections , putting an end to the President ’ s best chance to sue his way into a second term .
It turns out that the Federalist Society did not spend decades growing an army of judges in a vat , indoctrinating them to be ruthless , dead-eyed right-wing psychopaths , ushering them through the most prestigious institutions in the country and purchasing enough Senators to push them through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s access to the Oval Office minifridge .
The president is taking this about as well as you ’ d expect , which is to say , Not Well .
His Twitter feed has been very active this morning , full of pronouncements about how unfair it was , lashing out at the Supreme Court and continuing to insist that he won the election .
While it ’ s all very amusing to watch Trump lose over and over again , the threat that he and his Republican allies pose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be understated .
Over a hundred Republican lawmakers have signed a brief in support of Texas ’ lawsuit , all of them arguing that the election that gave them their seats in the first place is fraudulent .
If it wasn ’ t clear before , the Republican Party is now openly opposed to American democracy and are actively working to overthrow it .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Trump will likely continue to put on his idiot kabuki performance until the moment Joe Biden is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ damage is already done .
No Republican will ever accept the results of an election that they did not win — and making sure they do not win any more has to be our biggest priority over the next four years .
If a Republican wins the next presidential election , it seems almost certain it will be the last .

It turns out that the Federalist Society did not spend decades growing an army of judges in a vat, indoctrinating them to be ruthless, dead-eyed right-wing psychopaths, ushering them through the most prestigious institutions in the country and purchasing enough Senators to push them through confirmation hearings in order to protect Donald Trump’s access to the Oval Office minifridge.

WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2020
The Supreme Court had ZERO interest in the merits of the greatest voter fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America. All they were interested in is “standing”, which makes it very difficult for the President to present a case on the merits. 75,000,000 votes! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2020
“Justices Alito and Thomas say they would have allowed Texas to proceed with its election lawsuit.” @seanhannity This is a great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice. The people of the United States were cheated, and our Country disgraced. Never even given our day in Court! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2020
I WON THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE, but remember, I only think in terms of legal votes, not all of the fake voters and fraud that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2020
Who is a worse governor, @BrianKempGA of Georgia or @dougducey of Arizona??? These are two RINO Republicans who fought against me and the Republican Party harder than any Democrat. They allowed states that I won easily to be stolen. Never forget, vote them out of office! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2020
While it’s all very amusing to watch Trump lose over and over again, the threat that he and his Republican allies pose to the integrity of our democracy should not be understated.

If it wasn’t clear before, the Republican Party is now openly opposed to American democracy and are actively working to overthrow it.

According to Annie Karni and
“The goal of distributing the vaccine inside the West Wing is to prevent additional government officials from falling ill in the final weeks of the Trump administration. The hope is to eventually distribute the vaccine to everyone who works in the White House, but will begin with some of the most senior people who work around the president, one of the people said.”
While the number of doses diverted to the Trump administration is still undetermined, the defeated president has already faced heavy criticism for having had access to experimental treatments generally unavailable to the public at large when Trump himself contracted the virus back in early October.

Trump’s personal attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was given the same scarce treatment using monoclonal antibodies to fight the coronavirus as his employer and was criticized for his privileged access to drugs that are being carefully rationed due to their limited availability.
Dr. Matthew Wynia, director of the Center of Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado, told The Times recently that giving the powerful and politically connected access to treatments unavailable to others was patently unfair and explained why Colorado is using a lottery system to determine who can be given the antibodies.
“That’s one of the reasons why we decided that we would allocate this only through the state and only through this random allocation process,” Dr. Wynia said, “so that no one could get a leg up by virtue of their special connections.”
With Pfizer manufacturing their vaccine as quickly as they possibly can, the allocation of the inoculations will be limited to high-risk populations and special needs patients for the foreseeable future, at least until another vaccine is officially approved and the most vulnerable are protected.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-13--Kilt-wearing Proud Boys em-“bare-ass” themselves in vulgar protest against Antifa

I doubt that this was what Donald Trump had in mind when — pressed by Fox News moderator Chris Wallace at the first presidential debate to denounce white supremacy — he told the Proud Boys to “ stand back and stand by.
” While joining other deluded Trump supporters in Washington DC yesterday to protest the presidential election as somehow stolen from the man who presided over the greatest loss of American lives in a century , a group of Proud Boys dressed in manly kilts decided to make a unique display of their sentiments about the anti-fascist protestors loosely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As they lifted their flouncy kilts and bent over , their naked posteriors were exposed , revealing that they had gotten close enough to each others ’ buttholes to draw letters on their pals ’ cheeks to spell out “ Fuck Antifa.
” Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
So many jokes , indeed .
Hopefully , no one had a bean dinner before the stenciling of letters commenced .
Their stunt may have impressed the demonstrators who came to Washington DC to support the wholesale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the destruction of democracy as per their orange-hued master ’ s encouragement , but the denizens lurking in the Twitter comments section made the exhibitionist Proud Boys the butt of many an incredulous quip ( if you ’ ll pardon the pun . )
Many commentators focused on the cognitive dissonance between the anti-LGBTQ sentiments normally displayed by right-wing extremists and the Scottish drag worn by the men here , often venturing into implicit homophobia in their response to the Proud Boys ’ antics .
While the group should be commended for breaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the subsequent behavior of other members in their organization on a night when Washington DC descended into violent skirmishes between the Trump supporters and counter-protestors — and one man was arrested for stabbing four people — leaves little residual goodwill left for these violence-prone gang members .
Now is not the time to skirt the issues or bare one ’ s naked prejudices .
Ultimately , the Proud Boys are no better than the Salvadoran MS-13 gang of violent criminals , and the stories of their exploits suggest breaking wind more than breaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actors who are trying to overthrow the results of an election deemed free and fair by all independent observers and by the many judges who have examined the evidence-free claims of Donald Trump ’ s crack legal team — or crack-head legal team , if one must judge then by their performance — need to be held accountable for their attacks on Democracy .
At the very least , force these Proud Boys to wear those kilts all winter long without stockings or any other insulating material .
That would be the least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behavior .

occupydemocrats--2020-12-13--Trump says Biden “lost badly” in delusional new Fox News interview

Donald Trump ’ s relationship with Fox News has been tumultuous since the cable news network called the Arizona presidential race for his opponent Joe Biden on election night when other , more cautious , networks were still keeping the state in the too close to call category .
Since then Trump has attacked Fox News on social media and directed his followers to change the channel to start watching the even more right-wing extremist coverage on the up-and-coming reactionary news channels OAN and Newsmax .
Still , the lame-duck president needs all the help he can get in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the American electorate , so — with a few Trump loyalists , like Sean Hannity , Jeanine Pirro , and others , still touting his agenda on air — he granted an interview to Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade on the sidelines of the Army-Navy game at West Point yesterday in a segment that aired on Fox News this morning .
If Trump was worried that Fox wouldn ’ t be as supportive of his attempts to continue to gaslight the nation with his outrageously false claims about election fraud that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he needn ’ t have been .
Kilmeade allowed the president to lie shamelessly and unchallenged throughout the interview , including with a recycled old falsehood that has been fact-checked as grossly overexaggerated time and again .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Funny how Trump thinks that there is something unusual about betting companies no longer allowing bets on a race after it is over .
No wonder he failed as a casino operator .
Trump ’ s ability to calculate betting odds is likely as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidenced by his failure to grasp that the 74,223,755 votes he received is a lesser number than the 81,283,495 votes cast for Joe Biden .
The same with his 232 electoral votes as compared to Biden ’ s 306 .
In this interview excerpt , Trump essentially delusionally describes Biden with a phrase that accurately describes himself instead : “ A president that lost and lost badly.
” The weekend hosts at Fox News only furthered Trump ’ s lies and delusions as they reacted to the pre-recorded interview with an undeserved sympathy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election as if they were anything other than a steaming pile of horse manure .
Trump also demonstrated his cynical dismissal of basic legal principles in his pursuit of the victory that actual ballots failed to deliver .
Of course , Trump doesn ’ t want to talk about whether he will show up to Biden ’ s inauguration .
He ’ s too busy undermining the rule of law and America ’ s system of jurisprudence .

Still, the lame-duck president needs all the help he can get in his futile post-election fight to reverse the will of the American electorate, so — with a few Trump loyalists, like Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and others, still touting his agenda on air — he granted an interview to Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade on the sidelines of the Army-Navy game at West Point yesterday in a segment that aired on Fox News this morning.
If Trump was worried that Fox wouldn’t be as supportive of his attempts to continue to gaslight the nation with his outrageously false claims about election fraud that have been repeatedly disproven in court, he needn’t have been.
Kilmeade allowed the president to lie shamelessly and unchallenged throughout the interview, including with a recycled old falsehood that has been fact-checked as grossly overexaggerated time and again.
"All of the bookies all of the world were saying, 'the election is over.' They wouldn't even take bets on it. Then all of the sudden around 11 o'clock ballots start getting dropped … the machines are the worst.

Funny how Trump thinks that there is something unusual about betting companies no longer allowing bets on a race after it is over. No wonder he failed as a casino operator.
Trump’s ability to calculate betting odds is likely as bad as his overall mathematical skills as evidenced by his failure to grasp that the 74,223,755 votes he received is a lesser number than the 81,283,495 votes cast for Joe Biden. The same with his 232 electoral votes as compared to Biden’s 306.
In this interview excerpt, Trump essentially delusionally describes Biden with a phrase that accurately describes himself instead: “A president that lost and lost badly.”
Trump throws "state Republicans" under the bus, claims the election was rigged by "local Democrats" who "outsmarted" them. "The local people who run it rigged the election," Trump adds, despite the fact there isn't a shred of evidence for this claim. (Kilmeade just lets it go.) pic.twitter.com/8tYA01r6bd — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 13, 2020

Of course, Trump doesn’t want to talk about whether he will show up to Biden’s inauguration.
He’s too busy undermining the rule of law and America’s system of jurisprudence.
Still, instead of attacking Fox News on its own airwaves, Trump funneled his frustration towards another formerly loyal supporter whose recent contributions to his quest to stage a coup he has been less than impressed with, Attorney General William Barr.
For all of Trump’s grievances of late against Fox News, few other widely distributed news outlets would allow him to deliver his unfiltered litany of lies and misinformation to the public without challenge or correction.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-13--Trump goes after the defense bill and drug companies in his Sunday AM tweets

Donald “ Lame-Duck ” Trump is still unwilling to accept the reality of his defeat — despite court battles over his charges of supposed election fraud that have resulted in loss after judicial loss , culminating in the latest one-sentence Supreme Court dismissal of his hail Mary assault on the legitimacy of the Pennsylvania elections on Friday evening .
His refusal to face his humiliating defeat at the hands of President-elect Joe Biden was the main topic of Trump ’ s Twitter feed this morning as it has been just about every day since November 3rd .
First , however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the few executive orders that he issued that wasn ’ t actually harmful to the majority of people in America : his order that would force pharmaceutical firms to charge Medicare recipients no more than the price paid by other wealthy countries in a most favored nation provision .
With drug companies now spending heavily on media ads attacking the executive order and calling on Americans to pressure Trump into rescinding it , Trump seemingly wanted to defend the one popular healthcare move of his entire term while the nation still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he has continually promised as a replacement for the Obamacare he has been trying to end since he first took office .
That piece of unfinished business out of the way , Trump went straight back to bellyaching about the imaginary election fraud with a tweet that read like a joke without a punchline , Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Funny , a swing state hustle is exactly what the Democrats called Trump ’ s own 2016 victory , eked out by a few votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ despite the Russian electoral interference that was later confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee .
Just in case his Twitter followers didn ’ t parse his meaning , Trump followed up that post with an all-caps review of the 2020 election in his extreme sore-loser mode .
Actually , that would be the 2016 election that put an insane man who garnered a minority of the popular vote into office .
Still stuck in cap-locks mode , Trump announced that he would veto the recent defense appropriations bill that passed both chambers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to vent his petulance .
If only Trump were basing his veto on the fact that our bloated military has more money than it needs given the multiple other priorities that face our nation and the world right now , but indeed the real reason he wants to veto the bill is likely that it contains provisions that would allow the stripping of the names of Confederate generals from military bases dedicated to their honor , a move that was a juicy piece of red meat for his white supremacist base .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind his claim that a defense bill that increases American military spending somehow benefits China should indicate exactly how valid an interpretation the soon-to-exit president ’ s really is .
At this point , Trump ’ s continued involvement in the governing of our nation — a task that he has largely abandoned to concentrate on his extended temper tantrum over his inability to complete his greatest con job — is incredibly harmful .
If the Republican Party had any conscience , any intelligence , or any true patriotism .
they would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from office a long time ago .
If Trump ’ s latest delusions don ’ t warrant this step , then the GOP needs to be held accountable for any rash and foolish moves he makes between now and January 2oth .

Donald “Lame-Duck” Trump is still unwilling to accept the reality of his defeat — despite court battles over his charges of supposed election fraud that have resulted in loss after judicial loss, culminating in the latest one-sentence Supreme Court dismissal of his hail Mary assault on the legitimacy of the Pennsylvania elections on Friday evening.
His refusal to face his humiliating defeat at the hands of President-elect Joe Biden was the main topic of Trump’s Twitter feed this morning as it has been just about every day since November 3rd.
First, however, the lamest-duck president had to protect one of the few executive orders that he issued that wasn’t actually harmful to the majority of people in America: his order that would force pharmaceutical firms to charge Medicare recipients no more than the price paid by other wealthy countries in a most favored nation provision.
The drug companies are going crazy putting up nasty ads against me asking to “withdraw my Favored Nation’s Executive Order”. They don’t want the U.S. to have the lowest drug prices in the world, but we now will. Big reductions coming. No other politician would do this!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2020
With drug companies now spending heavily on media ads attacking the executive order and calling on Americans to pressure Trump into rescinding it, Trump seemingly wanted to defend the one popular healthcare move of his entire term while the nation still awaits the supposed proposed health care plan that he has continually promised as a replacement for the Obamacare he has been trying to end since he first took office.
That piece of unfinished business out of the way, Trump went straight back to bellyaching about the imaginary election fraud with a tweet that read like a joke without a punchline,
How do states and politicians confirm an election where corruption and irregularities are documented throughout? A Swing State hustle! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2020
Add your name to tell Trump: You Lost! Concede!
Funny, a swing state hustle is exactly what the Democrats called Trump’s own 2016 victory, eked out by a few votes in crucial swing states and unfortunately uncontested despite the Russian electoral interference that was later confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Just in case his Twitter followers didn’t parse his meaning, Trump followed up that post with an all-caps review of the 2020 election in his extreme sore-loser mode.
MOST CORRUPT ELECTION IN U.S. HISTORY! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2020
Actually, that would be the 2016 election that put an insane man who garnered a minority of the popular vote into office.
Still stuck in cap-locks mode, Trump announced that he would veto the recent defense appropriations bill that passed both chambers of Congress with a veto-proof majority, just to vent his petulance.
THE BIGGEST WINNER OF OUR NEW DEFENSE BILL IS CHINA!. I WILL VETO! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2020
If only Trump were basing his veto on the fact that our bloated military has more money than it needs given the multiple other priorities that face our nation and the world right now, but indeed the real reason he wants to veto the bill is likely that it contains provisions that would allow the stripping of the names of Confederate generals from military bases dedicated to their honor, a move that was a juicy piece of red meat for his white supremacist base.
That Trump can’t elucidate the reasoning behind his claim that a defense bill that increases American military spending somehow benefits China should indicate exactly how valid an interpretation the soon-to-exit president’s really is.
At this point, Trump’s continued involvement in the governing of our nation — a task that he has largely abandoned to concentrate on his extended temper tantrum over his inability to complete his greatest con job — is incredibly harmful.
If the Republican Party had any conscience, any intelligence, or any true patriotism. they would have invoked the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office a long time ago.
If Trump’s latest delusions don’t warrant this step, then the GOP needs to be held accountable for any rash and foolish moves he makes between now and January 2oth.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-15--Melania sets off social media backlash after violating mask policy at Children’s Hospital

The COVID-19 vaccine has only been available for one day and Melania Trump is acting like the pandemic is over .
It will take many months before enough Americans are inoculated to make a dent in the virulence of the pandemic , but the First Lady decided that it was now perfectly OK to remove her mask at Washington DC ’ s Children ’ s National Hospital while reading a story to the children there .
According to CNN , Melania wore a mask when she first entered the facility and practiced social distancing ( likely heavily enforced by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visit , but removed her facial covering when she sat down to begin to read aloud from “ Oliver the Ornament Meets Marley & Joan and Abbey.
” Melania may have felt — having recuperated from her own bout with COVID-19 and no longer testing positive for the virus — that she posed little risk to the children in her audience .
Or perhaps she felt that the children were already in a hospital so any subsequent illness they may contract could be easily addressed by the attending physicians .
Either way , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example to others and inspired a deluge of recriminations on social media from people who believe that even symbolic gestures are significant , particularly since the First Lady was explicitly violating the Children ’ s National Hospital ’ s stated mask policy .
“ Everyone must wear a mask at all times while in any Children ’ s National facility to prevent the spread of COVID-19 , ” according to the hospital ’ s policy which includes “ wearing a mask when entering any Children ’ s National building , as mandated by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ places , such as the hallway and cafeteria , ” and “ wearing a mask at all times when you are around other individuals.
” Readers of the news of Melania ’ s maskless reading on Twitter were brutal in their commentary , making an exemption to the Christmas spirit in her case .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Hopefully , the children who were with the First Lady as she read to them had the prescience to ask Santa for a ventilator for Christmas .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ pretend to care about Christmas when everybody knows she hates the trappings of the holiday , and all she gets is ridicule and grief .

occupydemocrats--2020-12-15--Jim Acosta bravely confronts McEnany over her lies at White House presser

The legacy of the Trump years will haunt this country for decades to come , serving as an indelible stain on our national reputation and a permanent reminder that the United States is always just one bad election away from authoritarian chaos .
Perhaps more than anything else , this administration will be remembered for its wholesale rejection of the truth .
For four years this White House has pumped out nothing but lies , ranging from the fairly innocuous ( exaggerating crowd sizes ) to the truly deadly ( dismissing the coronavirus pandemic as a Democratic “ hoax ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump can claim with a straight face to have anything even vaguely resembling credibility at this point .
In a just society that would be shunned and ostracized till the end of their days .
Instead , they ’ re likely to float into cushy , high-paying jobs within the right-wing media and lobbying spheres .
Perhaps knowing she has such a career ahead of her , Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany seems determined to ride the Trump train right up to the end of the tracks .
Some of the more prominent Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in lying for her boss , utterly shameless in the face of defeat as she regurgitates Trump ’ s election lies .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Today , McEnany gave another one of her fact-free press conferences .
Even though the Electoral College officially confirmed President-elect Joe Biden ’ s victory yesterday , McEnany refused to admit that Trump has lost and instead deflected questions regarding the subject to the official campaign .
She ended her remarks by taking a jab at the media for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closing her notes and fleeing the room .
As she departed , CNN ’ s Jim Acosta called after her .
“ Kayleigh , isn ’ t it hypocritical for you to accuse others of disinformation when you spread it every day ?
” asked Acosta .
The question was spot-on and not surprisingly McEnany pretended not to hear him .
The reason is obvious : she has no response .
Since day one , this woman has knowingly and gleefully lied every time she steps up behind that podium .
She long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for power and advancement within the GOP far outweighs any feeling of responsibility she might feel to tell the truth to the American people .

Somehow, it’s not surprising that Ivanka Trump is parroting her father’s prioritization of pecuniary commerce over public health.
It takes intelligence, imagination, and competence to envision a nation that ensures a steady income for its citizens while protecting them from the ravages of a deadly pandemic, something that the Trump administration has demonstrated it has next to none of during the 10 months that the COVID-19 crisis has battered our country.
Ivanka’s downright despicable lies about the benefits of lockdowns in reducing the transmission of the highly infectious coronavirus met a predictably negative response from those on social media sick of the Trump administration’s screwups when it comes to dealing with the pandemic.
It will never stop amazing us that in the midst of the worst pandemic in a century, rather than turning to doctors and scientists, the closest advisors to the president were his fashion-brand owning daughter and her slumlord husband.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-15--Trump crosses the line, shares tweet saying Georgia’s Republican governor is going to jail

Donald Trump leaves office in 36 days—an immutable reality that was reified yesterday when President-elect Joe Biden was officially declared the winner of the Electoral College—and yet rather than accept the fact that he will soon be jobless , the president continues to insist that he won the election and is being robbed his rightful second term due to an elaborate ( and fabricated ) mass voter fraud conspiracy .
As Trump ’ s ridiculous narrative becomes harder and harder to maintain for anyone not already deep in the grips of paranoia , the soon-to-be-ex-president has decided to turn on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republicans who have long been loyal to him as they fail to stoop to the criminal demands he has repeatedly made of them .
Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia , a longtime acolyte of the MAGA movement has become one of Trump ’ s favorite targets due to his refusal to strip Biden of his victory in the Peach State .
The White House Twitter attacks on Kemp could not come at a better time for Democrats as the state is currently engaged in two Senate runoff campaigns which will ultimately decide which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s cannibalization of his own party could well up handed Joe Biden a unified government—opening up the possibility that all manner of life-changing policies for the American people being implemented free of Republican obstructionism .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !

Today , President Trump shared a tweet from Lin Wood , the deranged quack attorney who has been trying in vain for weeks to get the 2020 election overturned in Trump ’ s favorite .
Wood ’ s Twitter is an absolute cesspit of insane @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a genus rarely matched even in the deepest backwoods of the right-wing digital stomping grounds .
He has already suggested that Georgia Republicans refuse to vote for the party ’ s Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue unless they help deliver the state ’ s electoral votes to Trump .
In short , he ’ s perfectly emblematic of the entire MAGA dead-ender crowd .
The tweet Trump shared from Wood praised the president as a “ genuinely good man ” who “ does not really like to fire people.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people in jail , especially ‘ Republicans ' ” but that Governor Kemp and Georgia ’ s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will “ soon be going to jail.
” It should go without saying that Kemp and Raffensberger are most certainly not going to prison for refusing to illegally steal the election on Trump ’ s behalf .
The president almost certainly realizes this but decided he ’ d rather stroke his own ego by doubling down on his victimhood claims than support his party .
Frankly , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sympathy for these men , Kemp in particular .
He chose to embrace the Devil , he can ’ t complain now that he ’ s getting burnt .

occupydemocrats--2020-12-14--Attorney General William Barr is leaving the Trump administration and the internet thumbs its nose

Donald Trump announced this afternoon that Attorney General William Barr would be taking his leave from the Trump administration on December 23rd , revealing the news , as is typical for this president , in a Twitter post .
Despite the reassurance that Trump gave that his relationship with Barr “ has been a very good one , ” the timing of the announcement — which came almost simultaneously with the news that Joe Biden had crossed the 270 electoral vote threshold and was officially the president-elect — and the fawning resignation letter that accompanied the tweet , the departure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirm Trump ’ s claims that widespread election fraud led to his defeat .
Indeed , despite the resignation letter , many Twitter commenters asked the question of whether did Barr jump or was he pushed , particularly after Trump denigrated his Attorney General publicly in his social media posts for failing him by not revealing the Hunter Biden FBI investigation until after the election was over ?
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !

The replies to Trump ’ s tweet announcing Barr ’ s imminent departure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goodbye and good riddance to responses that basically taunted the president for his vindictiveness to even his own most servile enablers .
Whether Barr leaves his post right before Christmas or on January 20th when Biden is inaugurated matters little in the end .
What is likely of much greater interest is exactly what Barr is referring to when he says he will be spending the next week “ wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the Administration.
” Just like with Trump , many of us won ’ t trust that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has done to our society has come to an end until he ’ s been replaced .
in the meantime , we can celebrate the end of this ignominious chapter in America ’ s Justice Department , arguably the worst since Richard Nixon ’ s Attorney General John Mitchell was sent to prison .
It ’ s not too late for William Barr to follow in his footsteps after the post-Trump investigations begin in earnest .

What is likely of much greater interest is exactly what Barr is referring to when he says he will be spending the next week “wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the Administration.”
Just like with Trump, many of us won’t trust that Barr is gone and the damage he has done to our society has come to an end until he’s been replaced.
in the meantime, we can celebrate the end of this ignominious chapter in America’s Justice Department, arguably the worst since Richard Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell was sent to prison.
It’s not too late for William Barr to follow in his footsteps after the post-Trump investigations begin in earnest.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-14--MAGA hope vanishes as far-right Newsmax finally admits Biden is President-elect

The electors are making their official votes today , formalizing the victory of Joe Biden in a presidential race still improbably being contested in the courts by Donald Trump .
With only the formality of a Congressional acceptance of the results left before the Democratic winner stands on the podium with his hands on the Bible to be sworn in , one would think that the reality of Trump ’ s defeat would begin to sink in with his irrational supporters who are still spouting the same anecdotal reports of minor irregularities in one locale or another as an excuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seven million vote majority .
The first sign of a crack in the armor of Trumpian delusion , the canary in the coalmine for the defeated president and his fanatical followers , came today when an anchor on Newsmax uttered the following words : It was a casual , back-handed way to announce that Donald Trump had failed in his multiple efforts to reverse the results of an election that he has called fraudulent without being able to provide a single verifiable piece of evidence to back that characterization outside of its undesirable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Newsmax had hoped that , by slyly slipping in the descriptor of Biden as President-elect , their viewers somehow wouldn ’ t notice that the channel favored by the most extreme right-wing amongst Trump supporters had effectively admitted that the man singlehandedly responsible for their newfound audience had actually lost the election .
It was a rare concession to reality for Newsmax which has spent most of the airtime since November 3rd propagating Donald Trump ’ s insane conspiracy theories claiming that he won the election…if you count “ legal votes.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Newsmax to return to form as Bachman immediately turned from reporting on the electoral college votes to bashing Biden by bringing up the subject of his son Hunter and starting what will likely be the attack dog template for right-wing media as they adjust to the new Democratic regime .

The electors are making their official votes today, formalizing the victory of Joe Biden in a presidential race still improbably being contested in the courts by Donald Trump.
With only the formality of a Congressional acceptance of the results left before the Democratic winner stands on the podium with his hands on the Bible to be sworn in, one would think that the reality of Trump’s defeat would begin to sink in with his irrational supporters who are still spouting the same anecdotal reports of minor irregularities in one locale or another as an excuse to reject the will of an over seven million vote majority.
The first sign of a crack in the armor of Trumpian delusion, the canary in the coalmine for the defeated president and his fanatical followers, came today when an anchor on Newsmax uttered the following words:
“Electoral College votes are being cast today,” John Bachman proclaimed. “Here’s video from four states, New York, New Hampshire, Arizona, and Illinois, all certifying the election for President-elect Joe Biden.”
It was a casual, back-handed way to announce that Donald Trump had failed in his multiple efforts to reverse the results of an election that he has called fraudulent without being able to provide a single verifiable piece of evidence to back that characterization outside of its undesirable outcome for himself.
Perhaps the executives at Newsmax had hoped that, by slyly slipping in the descriptor of Biden as President-elect, their viewers somehow wouldn’t notice that the channel favored by the most extreme right-wing amongst Trump supporters had effectively admitted that the man singlehandedly responsible for their newfound audience had actually lost the election.
It was a rare concession to reality for Newsmax which has spent most of the airtime since November 3rd propagating Donald Trump’s insane conspiracy theories claiming that he won the election…if you count “legal votes.”
It didn’t take very long for Newsmax to return to form as Bachman immediately turned from reporting on the electoral college votes to bashing Biden by bringing up the subject of his son Hunter and starting what will likely be the attack dog template for right-wing media as they adjust to the new Democratic regime.
“But what about Hunter Biden’s role in all of this? And will anyone ask some serious questions about the former vice president and future president-elect,” the Newsmax talking head questioned.
Newsmax had earlier hinted that it would be forced to drop its promise not to recognize the legitimacy of a Biden victory in a post on its website late yesterday.
“Newsmax and many other critics of the election results will accept the declaration of the Electoral College of the new president-elect,” an article on the site stated. “Still, Newsmax plans to continue its coverage of Trump’s challenges to the results and any new evidence of voting irregularities.”
Add your name to tell Trump: You Lost! Concede!
Newsmax, OAN, and Fox News will all have to reckon with how to adjust to a world where the party in power is not the one they, and presumably their viewers, support.
Whether they continue to prosper as opposition media remains to be seen, particularly now that Fox News isn’t the only reactionary media outlet in town any longer.
Perhaps Fox News has the best chance at surviving the transition reasonably seamlessly since they had eight years of practice attacking the Obama administration on a daily basis and stoking the Tea Party minions.
Still, Newsmax’s initial move to acknowledge the reality of the Biden administration garnered a batch of mostly cynical comments on social media.
With only 37 days left until the new era begins, make sure that Joe Biden can start his administration with the full cooperation of Congress.
Consider donating to the campaigns of the two Democratic candidates in the Georgia Senate runoffs, John Ossof and Rev. Raphael Warnock, to help prevent the kind of GOP obstructionism that President Obama faced from a Republican Senate.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-14--Michigan Republican warns of possible violence as Democratic electors meet to confirm Biden win

While that ill-considered motion was promptly dismissed by the Supreme Court without a second glance at its ludicrous assertions , Rep.

Current House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Rep. Jason Wentworth Farwell , who will be speaker next term — both Republicans — stripped Rep. Eisen of his committee assignments after hearing of his comments .

Eisen has not given up his hope for a Hail Mary pass that could still deliver Michigan’s 16 electoral votes to Donald Trump — despite the fact that Biden won over 154 thousand more votes in the state.
Eisen revealed during an interview on WPHM-AM this morning that he and his fellow Republicans have something special in the works today when Michigan’s electors gather to formally cast their state’s electoral votes for Biden.
“I’m on a football team. We have one more play. Am I just going to give up or am I going to do that Hail Mary?” Eisen told the radio station.
While he wouldn’t specify exactly what the plan would be, he made headlines and invited the censure of both the outgoing and incoming speakers of the Michigan House when he told WPHM-AM radio host Paul Miller that he couldn’t guarantee the safety of the state’s Democratic electors when they assembled to cast their decisive votes.
“Can you assure me that this is going to be safe day in Lansing, nobody’s going to get hurt?” Miller queried Eisen. “No,” Eisen replied. “I don’t know because what we’re doing today is uncharted. It hasn’t been done.”
Current House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Rep. Jason Wentworth Farwell, who will be speaker next term — both Republicans — stripped Rep. Eisen of his committee assignments after hearing of his comments.
“We as elected officials must be clear that violence has no place in our democratic process. We must be held to a higher standard,” the two senior GOP officals said in a joint statement.
The Michigan electors are scheduled to convene at 2 PM local time to hold their vote which will take place in the state senate chamber in the Michigan Capitol in Lansing.
While the Capitol building itself was already closed to the public because of COVID-19 concerns, yesterday the Michigan House and Senate announced their offices would be closed today because of “credible threats of violence.

It would be particularly unfortunate if anyone is hurt for a partisan political temper tantrum that even Eisen himself admits is likely to be totally ineffective.
“Will it change the outcome of the election? Probably not,” Eisen told Miller in his interview.

occupydemocrats--2020-12-14--Don Jr. releases bizarre hotel room video prompting social media speculation of a drug bender

Over the past four years , Donald Trump has inflicted countless indignities on the United States of America and while there are certainly some far more egregious and damaging than others , there are none quite so annoying as his mainlining of his own vile family into our political life .
Ivanka , Donald Jr. , and Eric have become fixtures in the Republican Party , galavanting around the world while lining their own pockets and spewing their father ’ s mendacious talking points .
One can scarcely turn on the television without seeing one of their smug , vacant-eyed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ivanka and Jr. seem to be at least entertaining the possibility of future political careers themselves , eventualities that are unfortunately entirely possible given the manner in which the GOP has devolved into a deranged conspiracy theorist cult devoid of intellect , morality , or principle .
Whether or not these two are equipped to handle positions of increased scrutiny though is another issue entirely .
Donald Jr. seems to have publicly deteriorated over the past year , releasing sweaty , teeth-gnashing , incoherent rants on social media that some have speculated are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The rumors have become so widespread that he even felt the need to address them himself during an appearance on Fox News back in August .
The First Son tried to claim that his eyes looked “ glassy ” at the Republican National Convention due to the “ lighting.
” Needless to say , the strange explanation did little to squash the narrative .
Add your name to tell Trump : You Lost !
Concede !
Last night , yet another clip of the president ’ s son in what appeared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter .
Filming inside what looked like a hotel room , Donald Jr. unleashed a tirade of misinformation about President-elect Joe Biden ’ s son Hunter .
But it wasn ’ t the content of his speech that drew attention .
Many were quick to zero in on the slurring nature of his speech , his puffed-up face , and the weird nasally tone he seemed to be affecting .
Imagine how removed from reality he must be to post this video of himself thinking that he somehow comes across well in it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell what ’ s really going on with Don Jr. from a video alone , it ’ s worth noting that his father has been described in the past as a “ speed freak ” who abuses Adderall .
