If you have a Republican Senator or Representative, please call them today and demand that they stand up to Trump. Please. This has to end.

It’s for Biden’s own good, you see. Azar knows the current administration’s plans are so dangerous and nonsensical, it would be crazy to expose the new president to them.
Better type up that resignation letter, Azar.

Shortly before midnight on 11/8/16, I was on my knees in the living room half-bath puking my guts out. And besides the judges, it was because, knowing what Narcissistic Personality Disorder was, I knew we were in for at least four years of behavior just like this.
Did I foresee the exact misconduct? Of course not. But I knew the type of behavior we’d see and knew that his behavior would be literally compelled by the disorder. Call it malignant type NPD, call it NPD with Anti-social Personality Disorder comorbidity. Same difference.
We honest to god would have been better off with a high-functioning psychopath than someone with malignant-type Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Never forget how poorly the press served us, and continues to serve us, by refusing to acknowledge his mental illness, by bending itself into pretzels to erase the disorder from its ongoing narrative of the last four years. Never forget Maggie Haberman sneering at “armchair psychologists” and the constant “Big Pivot to the Center and Normalcy Because This is the Night He Became President.” And never forget the normalization of the sado-authoritarianism that mirrors the MSM’s giddy coverage of the Teeeeee Parteeeeee, the freshists, grass-rootiess, most authenticist political movement evahh! that erased the racism, stupidity and astroturfing to make the story better.
Because it’s important to realize that the press, like every other institution and barrier, constitutional, legal or informal devised to preserve and protect democracy, failed. It failed to perform the function that justifies its constitutionally privileged position, actively buried critical information necessary to screen out a man with the single most disqualifying mental disorder a person can have and still be functional enough to credibly aspire to the presidency because of a badly warped professional culture.
Never forget, because come January 21, they will be right back to the same behavior that got us into this mess.

I am elated about our current chances to stop Trump.
Because we are still communicating and we still have a Fourth Estate. And we are starting to get angry (righteously angry) over this subversion of Democracy.
If Trump were a real strongman, these posts would be circumvented and we would be watching Trump Government TV.
We are going to have to exert all legal efforts possible to remove Trump from Office. And show that

The problem is that Trump has no plan. He has done basically noting to plan. And when that comes out, it will be a political issue. With two senate seats up in GA, they are just playing for time. The problem is that they will run out of possible delay well before January 5, 2021 (election day in GA).
This is all going to blow up big time.

Pressed on why having those discussions isn’t “appropriate,” the Trump official repeated his excuse.
“GSA has to make a determination that a transition is in effect. That determination hasn’t been made,” he said.
Translation: “What, you think I want to be the target of some mean tweets? I’ve got a family to think about!”

Having so many lives on the line does give a special resonance to “Final Jeopardy”, dunnit?

Anger is good. Contempt is better. Ridicule is best. He’s a boggart. Laugh at him. He’s making a goddamn fool out of himself.

Let’s throw in the Towel when these posts are no longer received and we have State Run Media.
This is the week this bullshit has to stop. There are too many deaths on Trump’s watch from COVID.

Hopefully Azar will be tried and convicted of crimes against humanity

They seem to be in a race to get credit for solving the COVID problem. Although they did not help in mitigation efforts they want the vaccine to be initiated under their administration.

Seems like we’ve entered the “I’m holding my breath until you say you’re sorry” phase of the cosmic tantrum.

Going with the silver lining theme…if we do have to keep hearing about him for months and months, hopefully it will be about the raining down of lawsuits and troubles galore, so that won’t be as bad as it has been, and the news vultures should enjoy kicking that man when he’s down because plenty will want to to tune into that reality show.

They don’t want their Grifting to be exposed.
Trump and his cohorts are making massive side-deals for a cut of all vaccine distribution and sales.
They are using the secret $500 billion COVID Relief slush fund solely controlled by Treasury Sec. Steven Mnuchin to do this, which is why they won’t tell ANYBODY to whom or to where the money is going.
I suspect the vast majority of it has gone directly to Trump and Mnuchin along with Wilbur Ross.
(I expect all three to skip the country in late December, or early January 2021.)
This DEMANDS an investigation by a Special Prosecutor after Biden takes office.

“GSA has to make a determination that a transition is in effect."
Yeah, pass the buck, blame the underling who’s doing Trump’s bidding just like you are, Mr Azar. Nobody’s actually responsible, not even the one behind the desk with the sign “The Buck Stops Here.”
It’s all office politics to these guys - no concern for the Americans being sickened and sometimes dying. There’s no greater good than serving the god-king and keeping your cushy job until the day the Final Tweet blasts out.
