Someone Must be Blunt and Tell the Schoolyard Bully, “It's Over, Grow Up and Accept the Fact; You are a Loser, Again”


Trump has lost dozens of challenges to our recent election, while winning only two small victories. It's time for this immature, weak-minded, obese old man to get over it; he is a loser, again.

Michigan has certified the election, and GSA Administrator, Emily Murphy has released transition funding to president-elect Joe Biden. Yesterday five of his lawsuits in Pennsylvania were thrown out of court.

The Daily Kos is reporting: [The suits were attempting to invalidate 8,329 ballots in total over technicalities and the three-justice majority deciding the cases were having none of it. They wrote that "no allegations of fraud or illegality" was discovered in the canvassing of the ballots. Trump was trying to get entire blocs of ballots tossed on the "one bad apple" theory, which was rejected. "Failures to include a handwritten name, address or date in the voter declaration on the back of the outer envelope, while constituting technical violations of the Election Code, do not warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvania voters," Justice Christine L. Donohue wrote for the majority.]

Why would any intelligent man or woman believe anything Trump claims or says? For five years when his lips or thumbs were moving, he was lying.

I remember concession speeches from 12 prior presidential candidates, two of which were very difficult. Before Trump, every one of them showed grace and class, although it was always difficult.

In 2000 the Supreme Court decided the outcome of the election. However, Al Gore did the right thing for the country and ended his challenge to the results. His speech to the American people was moving and genuine.

Hillary Clinton was personally attacked by Trump for nearly one entire year. And although she lost the Electoral College by about 77,000 total votes in three states, she conceded with dignity and finesse.

Both Gore and Clinton won the popular vote, but the people are not allowed to elect our president. That “right” belongs to the states, and that's why “red and blue states” exist.

We should all congratulate our 46th president-elect. Joe Biden soundly defeated his adversary. Now our nation must begin to heal and once again become the “United” States of America.

Every Demographic Supported Biden and Rejected Trump

Don’t be misled by the final Electoral College map. Although Arizona and Georgia were exceptions, the Electoral Vote went as expected. If you are white, and live in a “red state,” you choose to be ignorant. You vote for any candidate with an “R” next to his or her name without learning if that person is qualified to make decisions which will affect your future. The popular vote was historic; Biden is nearing a five-million vote lead. More importantly, with the exception of white supremacists and extremists who would shred the Constitution, Biden won nearly every demographic. One surprise for me was the fact that unlike 2016, the Christian Religious Right supported Trump’s opponent. In the months leading up to election day, Trump’s campaign ignored rumblings among Evangelicals and Catholics that support for the most immoral man in the world was dwindling. This was confirmed after election day. This situation is another confirmation of the fact that repealing the Electoral College would ...

Is Republican’s Choice to not Pass a Second Stimulus a Vindictive Response to Trump’s Huge Loss?

Image
 No one is angrier about Trump’s loss than the orange buffoon himself, but Moscow Mitch McConnell is a very close second. He was able to maneuver the least qualified illegitimate president in history to satisfy his personal ambitions. His ambitions are not the needs and wishes of the majority of the American people. His personal goals are white supremacy and other forms of bigotry. It was Moscow Mitch who blocked a second stimulus check before the election. He wants to save all the funds for his rich friends. In the last week approximately 800,000 new unemployment claims were filed as the effects of Covid-19 continue to cause more distress to Americans. Republicans don’t care. They literally don’t give a damn about the working class, and have not for at least 40 years. President-elect Biden says that he will make relieving some of the financial stress from the American worker one of his immediate priorities. It is Trump who must shoulder the blame for the loss of life and personal ...

A Letter to Donald Trump Demanding that he Grow-up

Image
I'll make this brief because Trump's attention span is shorter than two minutes, proven by his constant tweeting. To Donald Trump: the outgoing President of the United States As an American citizen who votes, I am demanding that you obey the Constitution and recognize that the will of the people takes precedence over your personal ambitions. In what has become an historical election you have lost, and lost by six million votes. Joe Biden has amassed 306 electoral votes. It's over. If you are capable of facing the truth, look back to this same time four years ago. Although your campaign was based on lies, and was mean spirited and void of a position on the issues, you captured the Electoral College by a total of 77,000 votes in three states with help from your mentor, Vladimir Putin, making it the closest election in history. While in mental agony, Hillary Clinton displayed class and patriotism by conceding the election immediately after you were declared the victor. By not...
