  Trump’s anger at Gov. Brian Kemp is making it nearly impossible for the GOP to unify ahead of two runoff elections in the state that will decide control of the U.S. Senate. ATLANTA — Two years after he made Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, President Donald Trump now appears dead-set on breaking him. The president has seethed at his  loss to President-elect Joe Biden in Georgia , throwing out  bizarre conspiracy theories  to argue he was robbed and urging Kemp to do something—anything—to reverse the devastating loss, even if it means shattering Republicans in the Peach State in the process. On Sunday, after weeks of needling Kemp yielded nothing, Trump decided to go nuclear. “The governor’s done nothing, he’s done absolutely nothing,” the president complained to Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “I’m ashamed that I endorsed him.” Twenty-four hours later, the president was still stewing. On Monday morning, he  blasted  the “hapless” Kemp on Twitter, demanding to ...

  ‘I’m Sick Of It’: GOP Rep. Denver Riggleman Unloads On Republican Colleagues, Trump Damn! Finally a GOP representative with some cajones! This republican is but one of 10 republicans in the house with the cajones to speak truth to the Orange Turd's lies and and accept openly the absolute reality that ALL thinking folks KNOW to be the truth. That President Elect Biden won BIGLY hands down and there was ABSOLUTELY no fraud that would change the election outcome, a Biden shellacking of the Orange Turd. And now what Georgia needs to do is FLIP the Georgia senate seats, both of them, to the left side of the senate aisle, This will give President Elect Biden a strong governing majority and allow him to actually accomplish that which this nation actually wants done. The only goddamn way this nation is going to be able to right the ship of state is to render the looneys of the Orange Turd wing of the GOP totally without any power. The bastards are nothing but pure ...

 

  As djt continues to do everything possible to destroy the framework on which our democratic republic has stood for 244 years... It is time he goes and it is past time he is prosecuted for the egregiously desructive bullsh*t he has engaged in for four very long years. Trump’s Embarrassingly Bad Legal Case in Pennsylvania No wonder his campaign kept swapping out its lawyers. On Saturday, a federal district court judge issued a blistering dismissal of  Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Kathy Boockvar . The opinion is a lesson in elementary lawyering—a once-in-a-career missive that I assigned to my first-year law students on Monday, because it reads like a toddler’s “What’s Wrong With This Picture” exercise for lawyers. No wonder that Chris Christie, who was a U.S. attorney before he was New Jersey’s governor,  called Trump’s legal team  a “national embarrassment” in the wake of its dozens of legal failures. The more sobering problem is that, like much of governme...

  Congress Pays $850,000 to Muslim Aides Targeted in Inquiry Stoked by Trump The House resolved wrongful termination claims by five Pakistani-American technology workers whose case was twisted into a right-wing conspiracy theory pushed by President Trump. Another of example of trump's xenophobia, racism, and total incompetence all wrapped up in conspiracy. Thankfully the long nightmare of chaos, incompetency and bulls*it will soon be over. On to the article... The House of Representatives quietly paid $850,000 this year to settle wrongful termination claims by five Pakistani-American technology specialists, after a set of routine workplace allegations against them morphed into fodder for right-wing conspiracy theories amplified by President Trump. Together, the payments represent one of the largest known awards by the House to resolve discrimination or harassment claims, and are designed to shield Congress from potentially costly legal action. But aides involved in the settlement, ...

  It is such a pleasure to listen to a real leader that is actually competent, intelligent, empathetic, and effective. Catch President Obama at the 1 minute 20 second mark on the video below. After 4 years of an incompetent, ineffective, psychologically damaged sociopath playing presnit (djt) President Elect Biden is going to be a sustained gale of fresh air. The return of reason, logic, science, and actual leadership to the Office of the President of the United States of America will be a most welcome event in America and across the globe. On to the video...

  Trump threatens to wreak havoc on GOP from beyond the White House His attacks on Republican governors since his loss offer a sample of what's in store. Why is this no suprize at all? djt is a vindictive vengeful and narcissistic little "man" who will seek and then exact revenge on all those who actually had the cajones to stand up and speak truth to power. A truly despicable and evil little "man". Excerpt from article... Trump’s attacks on Govs. Brian Kemp of Georgia and Mike DeWine Ohio — both of whom are up for reelection in 2022 — has led to broader concerns within the party that he will use his post-presidency to exact revenge on perceived enemies and insert himself into races in ways that are not helpful. While the 2022 midterm elections are a ways off, the president’s broadsides are giving fuel to would-be primary challengers in both states — raising the prospect that Republicans will be forced into ugly and expensive nomination fights that could jeopard...

  Having pledgd money to defeat djt, the worst president in our nation's 244 year history, I recently receceived the following letter from The Lincoln Project .  As no doubt did 10's of thousands of other real patriotic Americans who helped defeat the narcissist in chief, djt. The short letter lays out the truth of the djt administration and the challenges that will exist even after the architect of Trumpism is long gone from the office he never should have held in the first place. Like all letters of its kind it gets around to askng for a pledge to support the efforts to unseat the authoritarian anti Americans who supported and enabled djt to begin the dismantling of the democratic republic us real Americans hold dear. I know I'll be continuing to support efforts by real republicans and real Americans to help insure the future defeat of all the sycophants and cultists in the congress that supported and enabled the distructive and anti democratic urges of the authoritaria...

 

At one time the republican party was a party of ideas, pro business, balanced budgets and controlled sustainable national debt levels, strong defense and respected diplomacy, honesty and decency.  A party that believed in the rule of law. One who stood for democracy and our democratic republic. A party that perserved and protected the Constitution of the United States of America. Something changed about 20 years ago. It started with the election of GWB. The party, while still maintaining some characteristic of its former self became less honest, more autocratic and authoritarian. It also thought little of the constraints on torture during times of war with our perceived adversaries. We became less free as well with the development of the Homeland Security and TSA. Then America elected America's first president of color and the republican party in a racist hissy fit refused to cooperate with the duly elected pesident of the opposing party. In fact they vowed in secret meetings tha...

 

 

 

Poll: Which Historical Figure Does Trump Most Resemble?   Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” ~  writer  and philosopher  George Santayana Reporting on the likely author of that quote,  Big Think  reported  that, in its original form, the quote read, “Those who cannot remember the  past are condemned  to repeat it.” Wikiquote  reported  that “a variety of [other] paraphrases and variants” have emerged over the years: Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them. Those who do not know history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them. Continuing,  Wikiquote  reported that “there is a similar quote by Edmund Burke (in Revolution in France) that often leads to misattribution: ‘People will not look forward to posterity, who never look ...

Threats and Tensions Rise as Trump and Allies Attack Elections Process Confrontations have escalated in swing states, with elections officials in both parties facing threats of violence, as the president and other Republicans try to subvert the country’s voting system. Prepare for the violence to come, initiated and fueled by djt cultists. djt is indeed the nation's clear and present DANGER . He is desirous of holding onto power even as the American people fired him on November 3, 2020. His cult of personality and division are becoming unhinged and present a grave danger to our democracy and the people who SUPPORT DEMCRACY.   Via: Memeorandum

  WASHINGTON (AP) — Getting nowhere in the courts, President Donald Trump’s scattershot effort to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory is shifting toward obscure election boards that certify the vote as Trump and his allies seek to upend the electoral process, sow chaos and perpetuate unsubstantiated doubts about the count. The battle is centered in the battleground states that sealed Biden’s win. In Michigan,  two Republican election officials in the state’s largest county  initially refused to certify results despite no evidence of fraud, then backtracked and voted to certify and then on Wednesday flipped again and said they “remain opposed to certification.” Some Republicans have called on the GOP statewide canvassers to so the same. In Arizona, officials are balking at signing off on vote tallies in a rural county. The moves don’t reflect a coordinated effort across the battleground states that broke for Biden, local election officials said. Instead, they see...

It really is beyond question that djt is, and always has been an authoritarian minded individual. In as much as he is an authoritarian he also craves recoginition and adoration from people he actually sees as inferior to himself.  Unfortunately for American democracy djt has built a cult of personality around his presidency and his campaigns for high officeandsome seventy million Amerians voted for him and his cult of personality. Like Mussolini and Hitler before him his deep narcissism does not allow his psche to see himself as anything but a genius who knows exactlty what is right for everybody. Anyone who recognizes his deep pyschological flaws for what they are is considered the enemy and so djt does everything in his power to demean, belittle, embarrass, and if possible eliminate them from being relevant. And THAT, in a nutshell is how djt has ran his compaigns and governed for four years. The following article and the interview at its end sheds light on authoriarism in g...
