Biden Prepares To Take Over The White House, One Trump Infected Room At A Time

 

HE"S POSITIVE!!!

I was right:  Trump has now tested positive for COVID-19. . . 

This is really tragic and terrifying moment in the history of the United States.  The President of the United States has now come down with a deadly virus.  This is horrific news for the country and the fact that he did this largely to himself doesn't change that singular fact.  This is a horrifically dangerous moment for the United States.  The head of the US Government has a deadly virus, can't necessarily perform his duties to the same level, and may have infected many of the senior members of the American government.  This is terrifying and dangerous.  It's sad and scary that this country has to go through this, it's a sad and terrible day for American democracy.  

Let us all please rally around the government of the United States, the chain of command, and support the continuity plan and show unity in our nation.  Let us hope for the safety and health of Vice President Pence and House Speaker Pelosi as the next leaders in line.  

May God bless and support America in this time of need. . . 

Trump In Quarantine: Its Obvious He's Infected With Covid-19

News broke tonight that Hope Hicks, advisor to the President, is confirmed to be positive for COVID-19.  According to the timeline, she was contagious from Monday onwards on their trip to Cleveland for the debate.  She began showing symptoms on Wednesday night and of course the White House covered it up.  The only reason we know she's infected, and has exposed the entire White House, is that Bloomberg News broke the story (i.e. someone leaked it from the White House).  This was ultimately confirmed tonight by the orange blowhard in chief on Fox "News" where he admitted Hicks had tested positive, that he was waiting for his test results, and subsequently they announced he would be quarantined.  To repeat:  your Government did NOT tell you the President of the United States, the man with the nuclear codes, had been exposed to a deadly virus along with most of the senior staff.   Let that sink in for a minute.... 

I will preface my comments by echoing what has been said across the media reporting on this:  our hopes and prayers go out to Hope Hicks, the staff, and the president himself.  I hope he did not get infected with the virus.  And I hope that Hicks recovers quickly without issue.  

But it's now been several hours since the news broke and the White House has said nothing about POTUS' test results.  Remember, this is the White House, they have the best tests in the world including the instant 15 minute tests and the 3 hour tests and everything in between.  Yet they haven't released the results of the test.  Why???

For the answer, let me take you through a simple thought experiment.  First, let's remember who we're talking about here, it's Donald Trump, the man who's lied over 20,000 times since taking office.  A man who lied about his crowd sizes, something easily verifiable.  So let me ask you then:  if there was even a 1% chance that he was NOT infected, do you think he'd be going into quarantine instead of lying about it?  Do you think that four weeks out from the election, with his campaign bombing, with the threat of prison once he leaves office, and the last chance to stand in front of adoring crowds screaming his name, do you really think he'd go into quarantine for 14 days?  Really???   Not a chance in hell. . .  They're hiding either his positive test result, or figuring out how to spin the test result of others.  

That takes you to the second part of the thought experiment.  Let's assume he does have COVID-19 (which is obvious):  do you think there's any chance in hell he'd tell us before they'd figure out a way of spinning it somehow?  Of blaming it on BLM or Antifa or Kamala Harris or whatever.   Not a chance.  Right now, as of midnight East Coast time they're trying to figure out how to spin this.  And there aren't many good answers, he's called this a hoax for 6 months and told people not to wear masks, to re-open states and schools etc.  

And let's take the next logical step.  At a very basic governmental level, they still have to at least think through the contingency plan of what happens when he's infected.  So they have to bring in Mike Pence and test him too.  And what if, shock of shocks, he's infected too?   He's certainly been exposed, so what if he has it too?!. . . 

Then, Oh, My God, the country would be lead by Madam President Nancy Pelosi!!!!!!  Oh horror of horrors!!!  She's second in line to the Presidency, and there is no way they would easily hand over power to her, but they really have no other options if both POTUS and Pence are sick.  So they're panicking and trying to figure out what to do.  Imagine President Pelosi for the next 30 days.  She'll oversee the election and ensure it's peaceful.  That means she'll immediately fire Attorney General William Barr.  Goodbye election lawsuits, goodbye voter intimidation, goodbye election corruption, hello investigations into the Proud Boys and voter suppression.  And what's more, good bye Obama-care lawsuit in front of the Supreme Court.  And, OH MY GOD, goodbye Amy Coney Barret!  Take your Supreme Court Seat and shove it!!!   

And that is why, eight hours into the crisis, the White House has not issued a public statement or said a damn thing.  We could be sitting on the verge of a tragic, yet amazing, miracle.  The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways. . . . 

Trump Calls On His Brown Shirts

Last night during the Presidential "debate" Donald Trump called on the Proud Boys to "stand by," asked supporters to watch the polls, and again questioned the legitimacy of any election he loses, and blamed the violence on the "left wing."  Trump has now called out his modern-day Nazi Brown Shirts to "stand by" to riot through the streets, attack voters, intimidate election workers, maybe take over a local TV station, and do whatever is necessary and he asks for when he loses the election in order to keep him in power.  

As a reminder, the Proud Boys are a men-only racist far right neo-Nazi white supremacist hate group who are looking forward to the second civil war slash race war.  These are the racist morons who walk around with army fatigues (even though few of them ever served of course), AR-15s, bullet-proof vests, and attack BLM or other peaceful protestors in Portland and other areas around the country.  Their modus operandi is to show up to peaceful protests armed to the teeth, pick out some unwitting victims, beat the crap out of them (or worse) and then cry "self defense" or invoke stand-your-ground laws.  They also wear shirts that say "Free Kyle" in celebration of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17 year-old Illinois kid who drove to Kenosha Wisconsin with his machine gun to kill two people peacefully protesting police violence.  Essentially they're a bunch of cowardly white trash losers who can't function in the modern world, blame minorities and liberals for it, and hide behind their guns and hatred as a crutch and solution.  

Unfortunately, their cowardice, stupidity, and racism doesn't make them any less violent or dangerous.  According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, they, and other white supremacist groups like them, are the biggest domestic terror threat to the United States.  And they are now also clearly the biggest threat to safe and peaceful elections and the transfer of power in this country.  Last night when Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would ask his supporters to be peaceful, stand down, and respect the results of the election (and not declare victory until it is announced) he instead called on his henchmen to go into the polls, "watch the polls," and obviously intimidate minorities and others who might vote against him.  Within hours the Proud Boys had actually turned Trump's words into a new logo and meme to help them market themselves, recruit, and raise money.  And this will only get worse over the next four weeks.    

These are Trump's Brown Shirts.  They serve the exact same purpose as the Brown Shirts did to Hitler and the Nazi party in the 1920s and 1930s:  intimidate and brutalize the opposition, terrorize opponents, stifle the free press, and ultimately destroy democracy by brute force in the streets for your Nazi fascist dictator.  These Proud Boys don't respect the Constitution of the United States, couldn't care less about democracy, and will violently support the Orange Fuhrer when called upon.  And let there be no doubt, in the coming weeks Trump will become more and more desperate, encourage more and more violence, and put more and more barriers in front of voters.  Come November 3rd he will definitely claim that a coup is being perpetuated when he loses the election or claim "victory" by 2pm in the afternoon and try to get his racist dogs to go out in the streets to support him in order try to impose martial law or some other mechanism to try to stay in power.  It's a given.  

Our only answer is to brave the Brown Shirts, stand up to the racist bullies and vote no matter what.  Imagine if, knowing what you know now, you were magically back in 1929/1930s Germany and could help Jews and others rational peaceful Germans stand up to the Brown Shirts, Nazis, and prevent Hitler from gaining power, would you have done it?  I certainly would. . .  Well now is our time to do just that.  We need to stand up and have a wave of anti-Nazi enthusiasm to wash over this country and cleanse us from all these pieces of trash by winning the election and saving American democracy.  And, once in office, we need to make sure President Biden fixes the DOJ and redoubles efforts to prosecute and stop violent white supremacist militia groups once and for all.  

Vote November 3rd!

The Trump Coup Begins: 1933 Germany Is Here

The transformation into a dictator is now complete:  tonight Donald J. Trump, wannabee fascist despot that he is, entirely rejected the election, the election results, voting, and democracy itself.  Trump refused to agree to peacefully transfer power to the candidate that actually wins the election.  There you have it:  if he loses Donald Trump will not agree to leave office.  He will use all the levers of government, all the powers at his disposal, to try and maintain his position as President of the United States irrespective of the will of the voters and the Constitution.  

Tonight Trump, when asked if he would allow a peaceful transfer of power, said "Get rid of the ballots and there won't be a transfer of power . . . there will be a continuation."  Trump just said he rejects the election, rejects voting, rejects democracy and will not accept ANY results that don't have him remaining in the White Houses.  He doesn't want ballots or voting, AT ALL.  He called ballots "a hoax."  He has repeatedly said that ballots are a scam, that "the ballots are out of control."  He has also this week said that he expects that the Supreme Court will decide who the next President, hence his urgency to fill the RBG seat, that the new Supreme Court will "get rid of the ballots."  “There won’t be a transfer, frankly,” he continued “there’ll be a continuation.”  

This comes on top of reports from The Atlantic that Trump's campaign team is actively discussing nullification of election results in various states by Republican state legislators who would in this scenario take back the right to name Electors to the Electoral College and name the Electors themselves instead of respecting the actual election results of voters and ballots.  It comes on top of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump to dispose of mail-in ballots of all forms.  And it comes on top of another hundred forms of disenfranchisement and corruption that the fascist's administration has already engaged in to rig the "election" in his favor.  

So there it is, there's no debate now, he won't leave office, he doesn't want a democracy, or voting, or the rule of law, or the Constitution, or the United States of America.  That's it, he's calling for his unilateral dictatorship, the kingdom of Trump the first.  

The ONLY question now, is will his Republican minions go along with it.  Will GOP Senators accept a dictatorship of Trump?  Given their behavior and callousness over the past four years we can only imagine that, with a couple exceptions (Romney maybe), they will support the orange dictator.  Will his 40% base of support chose dictatorship over democracy?  Clearly the MAGA hat nut jobs violently charging into cities guns in hand to shoot at peaceful protestors will.  The only question is how many of that group break off and stand up for the Constitution, the United States of America, and democracy itself.  

So there it is, we are now in 1933 Germany and the only question is will you support Hitler/Trump or will you fight and push against it.  Will you stand for democracy or will you support a dictatorship.  Will you see this amazing experiment called "American democracy" continue, or will you let it die overnight at the hands of a mentally unfit, evil, sick, orange Nazi traitor who will not hesitate to imprison, torture or kill every last one of us if it keeps him in power.

The choice is yours America. . .    

UPDATED: 

Mitt Romney condemns Trump, thank you Senator.  “Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus,” Romney wrote on Twitter.  “Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.”

 

America: on the Verge of Dictatorship

And so it begins:  America is on the verge of becoming a dictatorship.  Donald J.  Trump, a President who was only elected thanks to foreign interference by our enemy,  who lost the popular vote by 3 million votes, who was impeached for committing treason, and whose incompetence have directly led to the death of over 100,000 Americans and the implosion of the entire economy with 40 million unemployed, is trying to use the U.S. military to turn this country into a dictatorship. 

Tonight Trump ordered the military to attack unarmed peaceful demonstrators outside the White House with teargas, rubber bullets, and mounted police in order to stage a bullshit photo-op in front of St. John's church, a property he didn't even have the right to stand on.  Down by 10 ten points to Joe Biden nationwide, facing an epidemic he can't resolve, a cratering economy he's too dumb to fix, Trump has resorted to calling out the army like the tin-pot dictator he wants to be.  After correctly being called a coward for hiding like a little bitch in the White House bunker over the weekend, Trump wanted to show that he's a tough guy and Commander in Chief by calling out the military to beat down people protesting peacefully in the hopes of looking strong and possibly appealing to evangelicals (somehow..).     

Donald Trump did this all just for a PR opportunity, just to look tough and change the news narrative if only for one night.  My question is:  what happens come October when he's down by double-digits to Joe Biden and on the verge of a historic loss in the November election?  Does anyone believe even for a second that he won't call up the Army to shut down the election?  Does anyone think he would hesitate to institute Marshall law and "delay" the vote?  That he won't have his political opponent arrested if he can to avoid the "rigged" or "fraudulent" election by use of mail-in ballots and "rampant voter fraud"?  Do you think his love of country and the constitution will hold him back from "saving America" by extending his presidency by fiat?  If you do, you haven't been watching for the past four years or even 24 hours.  And, ask yourselves how many times over the past three years you've said something to the affect of "oh, he wouldn't go that far" or "oh, they'll stop him, either Congress or the party, someone will stop that."  Oh ya?  How did that work out for the protesters in Washington D.C. tonight?  The peaceful, multicultural demonstrators rightfully protesting the murder of a handcuffed African American man.  Did it work for them when the horses knocked them to the ground like Kozaks under the Russian Tzar? 

This monster of a human being (if you can even call him that) will stop at nothing to maintain power, like Hitler or Stalin or Mao before him.  Don't ever doubt it, not for a second.  The only thing that can stop him is us, with an overwhelming victory in November, mass peaceful protests, and the hope that the military senior ranks will, rightfully and as is their duty, refuse an unjust and unConstitutional order from this sick, evil, mad man to destroy American democracy forever. 

Donnie Reaches Into The Racist Playbook: Ban All Immigration

So now I'm confused.  On the one hand impeached disgrace Donald Trump is trying desperately to re-open the country to save his political fortunes, even going so far as to encourage morons to protest for the right to die of Covid-19 in the streets.  But yet, he also says that Covid-19 is so awful and dangerous that he has to ban all immigration into the country, legal and otherwise, by executive order to save our lives.  Trump tonight tweeted:  

"In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!"

So which is it???  Is this the most dangerous virus to hit this country in a hundred years killing tens of thousands of people in its wake, or is it something that's totally "under control" courtesy of his majesty and hence we can re-open the beaches, bowling alleys, businesses etc. etc.  Which is it?!?!  You can't possibly have it both ways.  

But of course, that's exactly what Donnie wants.  He wants to downplay Covid-19 to open the economy.  But he wants to play it up to ban immigrants from entering the country.  He wants to excite his base by opening up bowling alleys (still haven't figured that one out, why bowling first??), while exciting his base by banning brown people from entering the country.  Because ultimately all of this comes back to two things and two things only:  (i) distracting from his massive failures as a chief executive;  and (ii) exciting his bigoted base to try desperately to Hail Mary his way into a re-election victory come November.  

This man is a monster.  And he will kill every man, woman, and child in this country to try to get himself re-elected.  He'll kill us all simply for his ego....

Sen. Tom Cotton Reminds America He's An Idiot

Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas wrote an Op-ed in the New York Times today trying to defend his hero, Donald J. Trump, from criticism that Trump's attempt to buy Greenland is absolute lunacy (which it is).  Link hereto:  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/opinion/politics/greenland-trump.html 

Cotton, an extreme right-wing radical, did make a few at least factually accurate statements in his Op-ed:

• Strategic   -      Greenland is strategically placed geographically
• Truman did it  -   Truman did offer to take it over
• Airbase   -    The USA does have a huge airbase in Greenland
• Minerals   -  Greenland does have precious mineral deposits 
• China      -  China is interested in Greenland acquisitions of minerals etc. 
• History   -  And yes, we did purchase, what is now, the US Virgin Islands from Denmark as well as Alaska, Louisiana (and roughly one third of mainland USA in the process) 

But of course, Cotton doesn't put these minimal facts in any kind of reality based context.  So now for the sanity check:

• Strategic  -  Greenland is strategically located.  You know what else is?  Finland, why don't we just go out and buy that?  Might cost a bit more, but not like Republicans care about budget deficits anyway.  Or if you want to buy one on the cheap, buy Latvia or Estonia, we can probably park an Air Wing in those no problem...
• Truman did it  -   Truman did volunteer to take over Greenland, wait for it, wait for it, in 19-FRIGGIN'-46!!!  You know what Europe and Denmark looked like back in 1946?!?!?:  a smoldering pit of dirt destroyed by the Nazis over the course of years of horror in World War II.  And then, facing a growing Soviet menace, with no real ability to protect themselves at the time let alone Greenland, Truman's attempt to take it over made some sense.  Neither Greenland nor Denmark really have that issues today in 2019 do they?. . . 
• Airbase   -    The airbase argument actually cuts directly against Cotton's argument:  if we're already allowed to build bases there as part of NATO and defend the USA (and could probably get more if we needed them) what more do we need strategically and defensively?  We're already there.  
• Minerals    -    Greenland does have valuable mineral deposits.  You know where else they have rare earth minerals?  Burundi, Africa.  Maybe we can go and buy or conquer that one.  Oh, but wait, they have non-white people you don't want as part of the USA, so I guess that's out as the 51st state...  
• China   -    China is interested in acquiring everything they can, which makes sense, because they're an Oligarchic DICTATORSHIP!!!  Of course they want to buy or conquer Greenland, they're building make-believe islands in the South China Sea just to steal the oil there too.  You want to bring that one up as an example of how we should act?   
• History    -   And yes, we did purchase Alaska, the Louisiana Purchase, and the US Virgin Islands. . .  A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!!  Colonialism still existed back then.  India, a country of a billion people, was the property of the UK for christ's sake.  We've evolved away from that nonsense.  In fact, because the United States didn't colonize countries like, oh, say, France and Germany after World War II, is precisely why we are heralded as the greatest super power and country the world has ever known;  it's because we're a benevolent super power.  Start buying people again as part of a land acquisition it's not exactly gonna' go over too well.    

Lastly, the United States is supposed to be the champion of democracy worldwide.  Yet Trump and Cotton are conveniently ignoring that Greenland is a self-run democracy and none of those 56,000 people have voted to leave Denmark or join the USA.  It's not like there are riots in the streets with people throwing tear gas canisters and pleading for American help;  that's actually happening in Hong Kong which both Morons are happily ignoring. 

This attempt to "buy" Greenland is nothing but the instinctual knee-jerk reaction of unintelligent, uneducated, uninformed President who must have seen something on Fox and unthinkingly went with it because he's frankly stupid and doesn't know anything.  And he insulted one of our allies in the process.  Why Cotton is pushing for it is still a mystery, other than the fact that he is a moron as well. 

Truth Starting To Sink In?

The redacted Mueller report has now been out in the public square for over 48hrs and some Trump supporters may finally be realizing that the grotesque orangutan is unfit for office.  The latest Ipsos poll released today and taken between he 18th-19th of April shows Trump's approval rating slipping down to 37% approval, 56% disapproval.  This is the first poll I've found taken after the release of the Mueller Report and it may indicate that more and more people are finally beginning to turn against the conman (about flippin' time). 

Will Trump's base entirely disappear?  No.  Keep in mind Nixon still had over 20% support when he was impeached so some people just can't be reached.  But, it may be an indicator that he's beginning to slump down to that hardcore 20% floor.  It also may indicate that the more facts come out, and the more he's exposed as a traitor and criminal, the more people will flea. 

That leads to two key takeaways.  First, the Democrats in the House must keep releasing and propagating all of the damning information from the Mueller report and hold hearings on the same.  The drumbeat of truth must continue and it will have an affect on the public's perception of this nazi.  Second, don't dismiss impeachment as a possible outcome.  If his approval rating falls to or around that 20% not only with GOP senators bail in order to save themselves, and possibly vote to convict and remove Trump, but there will be no political backlash at the voting booth for doing so.  In fact, Democrats may suffer losses if they DON'T impeach the President at that point. 

John Dean: Trump Worst than Nixon

John Dean tonight on CNN:

"The nature of Trump's actions, the nature of his obstruction, is so much more venal than Richard Nixon's.  Someday, when I catch my breath, I'm going to sit down and make the comparison.  Trump makes Nixon look good, Trump's in a league of his own. . . "  

Is there a cancer within the Presidency:  "I think there is. . . .   We now have a President in his 800th day and it's very grim, it's not a healthy presidency, i'm not sure we can wait to 2020, this man could do great damage...  The senate will not do anything, until the makeup changes it's not very likely.  The house should start hearings for 2020 to show the public what's happening." . .
