Trump has Lost; Americans are Celebrating in the Streets; Trump, McConnell, and Barr Continue to Ignore the Will of the People

When the final tally of all votes is completed, Joe Biden will have won the popular vote by nearly five million ballots. This should decide the winner of every presidential election; the people have spoken. However, the Electoral College is currently the deciding factor. President-elect Biden will have a total of 306 electoral votes; 270 are needed to win.

Immediately after the networks declared Biden the winner on Saturday morning, the streets in our country, Canada, and Europe were filled with celebrations. This had never happened before, with the exception of in a few places when President Obama won in 2008.

However, this has not stopped Trump, Moscow Mitch, and Bill Barr from whining and attempting to discredit Biden’s victory. These old, white men, and others who pretend to be Republicans are traitors to our nation and continue to spit on the Constitution.

There is not a shred of evidence that fraud was involved in the election, but this hasn’t stopped Trump, the Trump Party, and his stooges on Fox News from attempting to create conspiracy theories. Only a few Republican politicians in Washington have decided to respect the process.

The truth is that this election was similar to all elections. Not once have all the ballots been counted on election day. This election is different because of the pandemic, and the fact that the Republican led legislature in Pennsylvania changed the laws, refusing to count absentee ballots until the closing of the polls.

Because of Trump and his cronies extra caution was taken in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. This may have been the most carefully monitored election ever conducted in modern times.

Joe Biden is the ‘president elect,’ and will become our 46th on January 20, 2021.

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...
