Stock Market Soars Above 30,000 with News about Biden's Transition Ramping Up, and Trump is Attempting to Take the Credit

It now appears that Joe Biden's transition into power will move swiftly and smoothly through the process. One of the most notable reactions came from Wall Street. The Stock Market rose above 30,000 for the first time, displaying confidence in the abilities of a new administration.

However, Trump acted as expected. He held a one-minute news conference today attempting to take credit for the rise in the Market.

“The stock market’s just broken 30,000 — never been broken, that number. That’s a sacred number, 30,000, and nobody thought they’d ever see it,” Trump said.

“I just want to congratulate all the people within the administration that worked so hard, and most importantly I want to congratulate the people of our country, because there are no people like you. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.”

In an ironic manner, he should receive some of the credit. His failures as your illegitimate president inspired a record turnout which resulted in a loss of about six million ballots in the popular vote. Trump's incompetence and racist beliefs encouraged voters to remove him from the White House.

Trump will never be forgotten. How most Americans remember him will become his legacy. For most, we will remember that he refused to be an American president who recognized that he had a responsibility to represent all Americans. We will remember that he admitted to being the leader of white supremacy in America. The very fact that he is a self-admitted sexual predator should have prevented him from being elected. We learned in the first months of his illegitimate presidency that he is a malignant narcissist with a low level of intelligence preventing him from performing his duties. And we will remember that he spent more time on a golf course or watching television than in the Oval Office.

What we will never be able to forgive is that he, in collusion with Fox News, divided our nation's people to a degree not seen since the Civil War.

I do not envy Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They will began their first term facing more internal problems than Barrack Obama did in 2009. Unlike their predecessors, they will be working long hours and long weeks to return our nation and our government to a society which functions in the way our founding fathers intended.

Finally, I will be thrilled to see Steve Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, William Barr, Mike Pompeo removed from their positions.

Now my hope is that both Democrats win in Georgia, and Moscow Mitch McConnell loses his position of power.

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...
