CNN anchor Jake Tapper excoriated President Trump and some Republicans for their “clownish coup attempt” at delegitimizing the election process as the sitting president’s flailing legal battles contesting the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory have proven fruitless.
Now if every other media figure would do the same, perhaps a few GOP politicians would recognize the jig is up and shoot down FM’s lies and viciousness.
Am I too optimistic? Yeah, but it’s that or put my head in the oven.
“It is a clownish, and it will be a failed attempt, at a coup, a non-violent coup,” Tapper said. “But it is absolutely disgraceful. There’s really no other word for it other than that.”
One might have thought “illegal” would be another such word…but I guess that’s a bridge too far.
The problem is not Trump making an ass of himself. The problem is the Republican party is so bereft of ideas to help the American people they are terrified that if they lose the Trump base they are doomed. Two points. 1. Where is the Trump base going to go? 2. Can’t they come up with any policy ideas to help regular people. Until we stop pretending that all this Reality TV bullshit is important to the daily lives of regular Americans and start focusing on real solutions to real problems we are going to circle around a constitutional crisis.
Typically, clownish behavior wouldn’t get your base to send in over $200 million in donations to you. Maybe it isn’t Charlie Chaplin level clownishness, but Trump would definitely give Fatty Arbuckle a run for his money.
One word that feels foul in the mouth is the root cause of all this utter bullsh*t going on in America today:
Trump
(Now I’ll gargle and swish with Listerine.)
Trump will keep squeezing his rubes for money until his debts are covered.
And then he’ll keep squeezing them because he can never have enough.
Cons always do this to rubes.
He’s not going to stop the grift.
To characterize Trump’s actions as being “clownish” is actually an understatement.
“A Run For Your Money” will be the title of the book of Trump’s political career.
What’s dangerous is that all his base hears is lawsuits challenging other state’s voting practices. All the while I’m betting that they don’t know their own state’s practices. They’re not reading the filings, they apparently don’t know that when you sue you have to have ‘evidence’.
I wish the CNN or ABC, CBS would go interview republican poll workers and supervisors and ask them what did they see? If they’d worked the polls before was there anything different? OK, OK, does his base even know that there has to be 2 poll workers, one from each party processing mail in ballots, or in person voting check in, or who do they think these people are the were working the polls.
Deadline: White House on MSNBC has on those very media figures from Steve Schmidt to MSM reporters who do talk about the GOP figures and their silence. If they choose not to listen because they want to retain the loser’s base, all the talk in the world is not going to change that. They all have to be willing to listen and respond beyond Romney and Flake.
Tapper excoriated Trump and Republicans for their "clownish coup attempt”…
It’s as if a clown car crashed into a sewage truck.
Careened into a dumpster fire.
And smashed through the display window of an inflatable-adult-novelty shop.
(Conveniently located between the landscaper and the crematorium.)
There are actually other words for it, Jake. Words like “criminal” or “treasonous” come to mind.
Can’t trust those Mysterians, they’ve got face masks.
It’ll go on till the day he dies, even prison wouldn’t stop him.
That sounds familiar? 
When will the ballads be written for their poor beleaguered hero?
And then after all the carnage they went off to Aunt Miriam’s to eat kugel and congratulate themselves on carnage well done.
