So much for the 'Law and Order President'

President Dumbo Don and the GOP ran against Democrats in the 2020 election on the mantra of being the "Law and Order President" and the party of the law and order. However, like everything else it was a lie and grift. Dumbo yesterday pardoned his corrupt first National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn, who twice plead guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation.

Flynn originally was cooperating with the investigation against Trump, but then withdrew his guilty plea when he was promised by the most corrupt President in American history that if he stood strong and kept his mouth shut he would receive a pardon. 

The track record on this is pretty clear. Our first mob-boss President has rewarded people who dummy up and keep what they know under wraps and punishes those who don't. Flynn gets a pardon and Roger Stone gets his sentence commuted, while Michael Cohen who told the truth was forced to rot in prison. Cornel Alexander Vindman who told the truth during the impeachment proceedings in the House was immediately fired after this corrupt GOP Senate looked the other way while this President committed his crimes. 

This will not be the last corrupt action committed by this scumbag President. We should expect more of these pardons of his cronies like Steve Bannon, who was recently charged with fraud when he along with some partners scammed Trump supporters in to giving them money to build the wall. You remember, the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for. Bannon and his associates didn't use the money to build an inch of wall.

The most despicable of these pardons will be when he pardons himself, his family, and maybe even the Trump organization, which will mean the federal government will never be able to prosecute him for tax fraud, tax evasion, etc. He might even resign on January 19 with the agreement that a President Mike Pence will pardon this criminal. 

Law and order in Dumbo Don's view is only for the poor. His wealthy associates get to do whatever they want, break the law as they see fit and not pay any consequences. It was all a lie and a con. Remember this American if this serpent tries to run for President again, and remember his enablers in the House and Senate when they run for re-election, or worse, run for President themselves.

Surprise, Surprise, Dominion Conspiracy debunked!

President Dumbo Don's lunatic lawyer, Sydney Powell has been running around the conservative media echo bubble claiming that Dominion voting machines are part of a massive fraud that encompasses seven or eight states, but only states that Biden won. NOT ANY others! Of course she is a liar, and has been relieved of her duties as part of the Trump legal team - the B team at best. This FOX News interview debunks this voting-machine conspiracy theory.   

As Michael Steel explained in the video, the Dominion machine keeps a running count of the votes but they also produce a paper ballot that the voter reviews to make sure their votes were captured correctly before handing the hard copy to election officials. If the machines ever had a problem or a glitch we have the paper trail to recount the vote, making Powell a corrupt liar.

When pushed by the FOX interviewer, Steel said "I've got the facts on my side ... the President's lawyers don't have a scintilla of proof." Powell claims that these machines were used in Pennsylvania to steal the election for Biden, but in the 14 counties in Pennsylvania where Dominion machine were used, Trump captured 52 percent of the vote. Fraud Sydney?

Finally, Steel deals with yet another crazy conspiracy that claims that Dominion bribed Republican Georgia governor Brian Kemp and his republican secretary of state to throw the election in the Peach State for Biden. Kemp is one of Trump's biggest supporters in the country. Kemp was one of the first MAGA governors to open up his state during Covid to appease the President - public health be damned. Why would Kemp accept a bribe from Dominion? If he was approached by Dominion with a bribe, wouldn't he be all over FOX News, OANN, and News Maxx screaming bloody murder?    

For those people out there who feel the need to believe in conspiracy theories, let me offer up yet another place for you to get information that debunks these fictional stories. It might surprise you to find out that it is a Trump-administration government website, which deals with all the alleged conspiracies with wait for it, wait for it, EVIDENCE!!!!! Fair warning, this site will require you to do some reading, so I'm sure Trump will never see it. And his supporters probably will not either. After all, they once screamed that everyone should "read the transcript" of the Ukraine call, but in the very next breath said they didn't not "read the transcript."

Conspiracies debunked 

The Trump campaign is having even less success in court. Even though Giuliani and Powell are out there telling anyone with a camera that election fraud is everywhere, in court they refuse to acknowledge the fraud because they could be disbarred for lying in open court and could even be charged with contempt. That is why case after case is being dismissed around the country by conservative and liberal justices alike. By the way, thank God for our judiciary. They have saved the Republic during this very dark period in American history.

Judge Matthew Brann, a conservative justice in Pennsylvania, who was appointed by Barack Obama by the way, provides the latest example. This Federalist Society justice buried Trump's "legal" team for not having any evidence of fraud and for introducing this frivolous case. Brann admonished the Trump team for trying to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters without evidence and dismissed their case with prejudice.


Anyone at this point who insists that the election was stolen is just not paying attention. Proof is everywhere that this election was the securest we - the United States - have ever conducted, and anyone who refuses to acknowledge reality is actively damaging democracy.

A low point for American democracy

 Here is the statement that Republican Senator Mitt Romney released today on his twitter account:

It's true, Donald Trump, as I always knew he would, is openly pressuring state senators and representatives in the swing states to NULLIFY the will of the voters, and declare Trump-friendly electors to vote for him when the Electoral College meets in December. And as despicable as it is for a sitting U.S. President to ignore the will of the voters in a democracy, it is even more grotesque that Republicans in Congress, Romney excluded, say nothing.

These impotent cowards have allowed this sick, twisted, braindead moron to take over their party, and instead of fighting him tooth and nail to save their party, has instead decided to lick this losers boots. THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES. 

Beyond the reckless rantings of a clearly insane President, we now have a mentally disturbed former mayor, Rudy Giuliani, holding an utterly unhinged press conference in which he recited dangerous conspiracy theories - you know, for the Q'Anon sect. This year's version of the Branch Davidians. 

One might call Giuliani's insane rantings the work of a crazed lunatic and that no one will pay attention, but the fact of the matter is that Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity on FOX "News" gave this dribble oxygen to breath. Watch it for yourself: (NOTE there is a longer version online, but it is like Novocain for the brain). 

So just to make this clear. Giuliani is claiming that hundreds of thousands of votes are illegal and that this happened in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and that all of those election officials, who have never met each other, conspired to throw an election. I do not even know how Giuliani, if he is this stupid, manages to walk upright on a day to day basis. 

While Giuliani peddles conspiracy theories and Trump spends all his time trying to organize a coup that subverts the will of the voters, his useful idiot Mike Pence, allegedly a Christian, who ironically held super-spreader events during the election cycle in swing states, suckled on Trump's toes. He disguised this as a coronavirus taskforce meeting. However, like the rest of the cowards in the Republican Party, he ran off without taking questions from the free press. SHAME ON YOU COWARD! It is this administration who refuses to collaborate with President-elect's transition team to better prepare for vaccine distribution.

Trump and all his goons, and sycophants would do well to get out of Washington now and head back under the muck of the swamp. These unhinged men and women are the dregs of society - the true swamp monsters.

The new American Fascist Party

Donald Trump fired tonight Department of Homeland Security official Chris Krebs because he didn't like the statement Krebs put out calling the 2020 election the safest elections in American History. Dumbo Donald didn't like that because it goes against the alternate reality that the conspiracy-in-chief is trying to create.

First, lets establish the fact that Krebs, the head of election cybersecurity, is right. These were the safest elections in American history. How do I know that? Because we had cameras in the counting rooms watching people count votes. To my knowledge we have never had to do that before, but we have also never had a President who actively seeks to destroy the bedrock of our democracy - the vote. 

Don the Con spent the last six months proclaiming that the elections would be rigged and that the only way he could lose was if the election was some how stolen from him. The fact of the matter is that he lost because he is a fascist dictator and in America we depose dictators - Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, etc. We do not reward fascists, we vote them out. 

America has always fought against dictatorial regimes, and that fight had always been led by the neo-conservative wing of the Republican Party, but not anymore. The cowards that make up the current Republican/Fascist Party, have abdicated their voices as well as their genitals to Donald Trump. I had hoped that once Dumbo was removed in a freely-held election in what use to be the beacon of democracy - the United States - that the GOP would move past this regrettable era, and in unison show respect for the will of the voters, but they did just the opposite. 

Instead, the sniveling and whimpering cowards continue to serve as lapdogs to America's first fascist President! They are so beholden to this blow hard moron, that from this point forward, regardless of what they say in an attempt to walk back their servitude to Trump, they will forever be known to me as the American Fascist Party - headed by the likes of Mitch McConnell who is a neo-fascist who refuses to the follow the rules. It is headed by Kevin McCarthy, who refuses to acknowledge the outcome of a free and fair election, and Lindsey Graham, who is now seeking to have votes in Georgia discounted because those people didn't vote for das Fuhrer Trump.

It is with great shame, that I as an American who actually believed in the propaganda that this was the greatest democracy on earth, now see it all unravelling before my eyes and to see that it is my fellow Americans that are allowing it and making it possible by re-electing corrupt and despicable people like Graham, McCarthy, Cruz, Cornyn, McConnell and others who have sold their belief system away for this vile loser in the White House. SHAME on AMERICA!!!

Democracy is back

 After four years of hatred and division, the moment has finally arrived when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now President and Vice-President elect of the United States.

If you needed more proof that democracy is back, all you need to do is look at all the well wishes coming from around the world to the United States and Joe Biden. If the world could have voted, this would have been a landslide and a half. Our allies in the last four years have been pushed away and dictators have been embraced. Given that fact, I am sure the world is breathing a sigh of relief just as most American citizens are.

When Biden and Harris are sworn in, the chaos ends and normalcy can return to the UNITED States of America. It will be so wonderful to wake up every day and not have to worry about what kind of bile will be spewed from Donald Trump's twitter account, and what racist remarks he will make, and what group (Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, women, LGBTQ community, and democrats in general) will be targeted by the current occupant of the White House. 

Not only is the United States a better place now that Trump is lame duck but so is the world. The voters have spoken and they have relegated this grotesque human being to the ash heap of history. Hopefully now, we can get back to being one country.

I'm not delusional. I know that many Trump supporters believe that we are now living in some type of Socialist state, but nothing could be further from the truth. People have made all sorts of claims to me today, that unemployment will rise, gas prices will rise, their jobs are in danger. All ridiculous claims. I challenge anyone to check back in four years and see if any of these claims actually materialized. Just because FOX News host say it, it doesn't mean it's true.   

In contrast, over the last 4 years we have all lived under a dictatorship. I can make that claim because even the President's own party was in fear of criticizing him. That only happens in dictatorships. Stalin, the former leader of the Soviet Union, purged his government and military on numerous occasions. Trump purged the U.S. Government of anyone who disagreed with him both in the military and in his Cabinet. No President has turned over more cabinet members than this President in only 4 years. 

Lets finally coming together and be Americans again. After 9-11 only one thing gave me hope and that was that the country felt so together and everyone said "never forget". Let us now not forget that we are all Americans first. 

God Bless America and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and all our global citizens. They have a serious and herculean task ahead of them.
