President Donald Trump on Sunday night vehemently backtracked on his apparent acknowledgement of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the election.
History will record the GOP took no steps to distance themselves from or temper an all-caps spewing deranged clown.
It really shouldn’t be a surprise that Trump can’t accept that he lost to Joe Biden.
He and his followers still can’t get over that he won against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
No takesies backsies, loser.
How long until the States certify the results and the Electoral College meets? Can the House subpoena GSA chief to testify on what criteria she is using for ascertainment and how that compares to previous transitions? And make clear how she is personally liable if she follows illegal orders to impede the transition.
I’m calling it the Trump Virus from now on. He has done less to mitigate it than any other world leader and more to personally spread it than any other identifiable human.
So I noticed the stark hair color Don donned the other day. I’m wondering what the significance of the silver-gray hair color is all about. Does it signify his depression level about the majority of Americans REJECTING him to lead our beloved country?
I suspect he knows in what little of his heart remains that he’s lost it. I don’t think anyone other than the true believers are convinced. I see stupid stuff on SM about this, but honestly the energy seems gone out of it.
The thousand-MAGAt march on Saturday certainly didn’t convince anyone. I’ve seen bigger protests over school lunches.
He is now either
(A.) Seriously mentally breaking down & tumbling into the sea of total irrationality
or
(B.) Attempting to incite violence & engineer a massive uprising to overturn the election, the rule of law and the government of the United States of America.
Both, too true at the same time.
Benadick Donnie does own the party formerly known as the Republican.
I assume that is the reason no Benadick Party member will come forward, from shame at loosing all their former person hood.
Or, for some, they never realized they lost both their party and person hood.
This is so pathetic, and yet, so ‘on-brand’ for him. All this is doing (hopefully) is convincing supporters at the margins how foolish they were for getting into bed with this lout. I long for the day that, to paraphrase the last real President, ‘the fever will break’ in the GOP.
Yes. All of it Katie!
…or (A) and (B).
December 14th. The crux of Al Gore’s concession on Dec 13th 2000.
Christ, there aren’t enough mental health professionals in the world to help this jackass and his followers. Having lived with a severely mentally ill person myself, I can tell you that the one sensation they never fail to provoke is exhaustion.
Publicly challenge the President and simply state the facts are he lost and there were no illegal events that taint the outcome. Any effort on his part to do so or claim so only argues that he his mentally unstable and cannot understand facts and reality. If this is the case, then he needs to be removed for mental incompetence. His decision - you have 1 minute to make up your mind. And the clock has started…
Enough already. This is a serious time and we need serious people in charge. People are still dying (and at a faster rate than before) because of his incompetence. His lack of action is criminal.
He also seems extra tan right now.
I think in the end Trump’s view of reality is not one we share or can easily grasp. He sees reality as not a fixed, immutable thing, but a whirling phantasmagoria of multiple alternate realities you can choose or reject, persuade or bully others to choose, fight off or surrender to. Most of us do this emotionally, to a limited extent, with things we don’t want to face. If we suffered a big loss, we might say well maybe there’s a way we could work it out, maybe some deus ex machina will rescue us, but deep down we’d know we’d lost and we’d have to deal with it. Trump knows that too. But he also knows he won. He knows these conflicting outcomes deep down equally. It doesn’t seem absurd or pathetic to him to pretend, because he’s not pretending. I wish there were a button I could push at the top of this window to add some eerie incidental music, but you’ll have to just imagine it, like in a southern Gothic film from the Sixties. He’s nuts. He always was.
