Sure, I watched the president speak on Thursday night.
How could you not?
How could you not?
"This is the historic moment," I told my wife.
And I wasn't wrong.
Still, I haven't commented on it yet.
And frankly, am not sure why I'm commenting on it now.
What's there to say?
And frankly, am not sure why I'm commenting on it now.
What's there to say?
It's painfully obvious.
There's nothing new.
The same lies — he won the 2020 election, the Chinese, Joe Biden, blah blah blah. What a crybaby.
And argument so flimsy, so transparently fictional, that an ounce of thought puffs the whole thing away.
But even to take the framework of fact — and I can't take credit for noticing this, but read it on social media and am happy to pass it along — Donald Trump is saying that the election of 2016, the one that took place when Barack Hussein Obama was president, was fair and fine.

And the 2024 election, the one that occurred when Joe Biden was in the White House, went off without a hitch.
But that 2020 election, the one taking place when he, Donald Trump, was president, was utterly corrupt, influenced by Venezuela and China and Russia and the Club of Rome, that was thoroughly rigged. Right under his nose. Yet he, the guy who sat back and did nothing, apparently, in the dark while it occurred, oblivious, clueless, now wants to take full control of the process, ram through all sorts of unprecedented, extensive, illegal action in the four months between now and November to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Which, for the record, it can't — happen again — because it never happened in the first place.
His solution? Throttling Americans' right to vote. Demanding proof of citizenship. Which, in case you don't know, is not on your driver's license. It's on your passport. If you have a passport. And 50 percent of Americans don't. It's on your birth certificate. If you can lay your hands on it.
Tens of millions of Americans would be disenfranchisted.
This is the line in the sand. The excess that cannot be ignored, cannot be tolerated, cannot be normalized. All the tariffs and executive orders and Qatari jets were child's play in comparison. This is where it ends. It's him or us. Trump or America. Trump will either be thwarted in his attempt to corrupt the 2026 election — either the states will resist — or democracy will die. Because if you can't vote because ICE thugs are roughing you up, or because you don't have documentation that you never needed before, then voting becomes merely symbolic, a gesture toward the country we once were and now only pretend to be. The traitor has shown his hand, completely. Which, as I said, is no big revelation, because he's been building up to this for years. For a chronic liar, he can be very candid.

Enough about him. It's up to us now to accept or reject what he plans to do to this country. But who will rally us? Where is Paul Revere when we need him? Maybe it'll have to be all of us, inspiring ourselves. The stakes couldn't be higher.
I never thought it would come to this but it has. How many though still won't open their eyes?
ReplyDeleteHis dementia is appalling.
ReplyDeleteHis insanity is out of control & no Re Thug Licon will do anything about it!
Little Mikey Johnson, the alleged Speaker of the House is so terrified of this lunatic, he won't even try to impeach him for his stupid beyond belief war, caused by his dementia & his bizarre belief he can get Iran to stop building a nuclear weapon, something Obama managed to do with an agreement with all of the European allies, allies he's also managed to piss off at us, because his worshiping of his insane buddy Putin, won't let him help Ukraine kick the Russian Army out of Ukraine! Russia is bogged down in a war it can never win, the Ukrainians hate them far too much to give up & have gotten so good at drone warfare, the entire world, except the USA is going to there to learn from them.
The US is now bogged down in an appallingly stupid war with Iran we can't win, because the mullahs & their pet Revolutionary Guard will never, ever give up power to their own people. They are actually crazier than he is!
The sole thing in his entire rotten to the core, over privileged life he's ever succeeded in is being a con man, which is how he got elected, twice, by morons he conned into thinking he's a great businessman, when in fact, all he's ever done is fail upward after each bankruptcy & then con the dimbulbs at NBC into giving him a totally bullshit TV show where he plays at the great brilliant business executive & then chooses an apprentice to help him get even greater. Then that show conned the truly even dumber dimbulbs among the voters who fell for his con!
And now our government is filled with incompetents running everything, from a Fascist News Channel clown wrecking the military, to a failed shyster ruining the entire US healthcare industry, with his ridiculously wrong ideas that vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they prevent, to wasting more billions trying to prove Tylenol & vaccines cause autism, which multiple studies from all over the world haven they don't cause autism!
Then he wants his name on everything, has demolished parts of the White House illegally, wrecked the Reflecting Pool, killed millions of children in poor countries by shutting down USAID, fired tens of thousands of necessary government employees so the government doesn't work anymore & given himself & his billionaire buddies, massive tax cuts that make the rest of us pay more in taxes.
Not merely the worst president ever, but the worst person to ever be president!
When he finally croaks, the entire planet will erupt in joy!
