    Even a pandemic that killed 400,000 Americans wasn't enough to temper Trump. He turned that into another one of his petty culture wars.

    Disillusioned Trump voters — up for grabs - The Boston Globe

    excerpt:

    "But they were expecting Trump to mature in the job, to mellow over time. Instead, they perceive President Trump to be the same as candidate Trump — even three and a half years later.

    Said Andrew from Wisconsin, “I am surprised at the lack of character growth over his presidency. I really thought he was going to grow into the role more.” These voters expected that Trump’s divisiveness and “immaturity” would subside over time. Robert from Massachusetts noted, “There was never the presidential pivot. He remained a petty, name-calling bully not fit for the leader of the free world.”"

    Trump worsened over the years, especially his last year in office.

    It calls into question what his demeanor might be like in 2024 through 2028.

    Trump is attempting to set up a government in exile down in Florida.

    The first step was the house GOP leader Kevin McCarthy's visit to kiss his ass and get instructions.

    Trump exited the White House like a little toddler being dragged away kicking and screaming. His Capitol riot was his last-gasp tantrum.

    Before the riot happened, SNL said it would be willing to believe any crackpot narrative about election fraud Trump could concoct as long as he agreed to leave office.

    "You is need to go."

    The following news clip was mentioned during an SNL sketch and could be confused for fiction. It was a truther narrative concocted by the convicted Roger Stone whose sentence was commuted by Trump who later completely pardoned him.



    Roger Stone Says North Korean Boats Delivered Ballots Through Maine Harbor As Trump Boosts Fraud Claims

    Roger Stone says North Korean boats delivered ballots through Maine harbor as Trump boosts fraud claims

    excerpt:

    "Former Trump adviser Roger Stone claimed without evidence on Wednesday that North Korea had interfered in the U.S. presidential election. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued to assert that fraudulent activity was prevalent during the November election.

    Stone, who has previously spoken of his respect for some members of the QAnon conspiracy theory movement, was sentenced to 40 months in prison for lying to investigators in connection with the Mueller probe into Russian election meddling during Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump commuted Stone's sentence in July.

    With the Electoral College expected to meet on December 14, Trump has intensified his claims of widespread election fraud. Democrat President-elect Joe Biden was widely projected to be the winner of the election despite Trump's protestations. During an interview on The Alex Jones Show, Stone baselessly said he had received proof of election fraud.

    "I just learned of absolute incontrovertible evidence of North Korean boats delivering ballots through a harbor in Maine, the state of Maine," Stone said. "If this checks out, if law enforcement looked into that and it turned out to be true, it would be proof of foreign involvement in the election.""

    This guy's an idiot who thinks he's a constitutional genius, and is about as hip to politics as a walnut. You can jump up and down and point to the constitution all you want, but the Tea Party and democrats both shredded the constitution, and gerrymandered the system so badly, they made new scientific discoveries in just how to rig elections on massive scales. The supreme court in their infinite conservative wisdom, allowed Fox News to call themselves entertainment and allowed anyone to contribute however much they wanted to any election. As a result, we first got Bush who destroyed the entire world economy, then Obama who helped to put it back together again, then Donald Duck who attempting to destroy it again, and now Biden struggling to even pretend we still have a functional government.

    If we had constitutional law, Donald Duck would never have gotten into office, and would likely have been thrown in jail decades ago. As it is, the courts are now compelling people to even testify against themselves, and the constitution is an expensive piece of toilet paper, way too rich for my blood.

    Anyone who watches the Tea Party systematically destroy the constitution and elect Donald Duck, and starts arguing legal fine points, is a total idiot, looking for a job on the boob tube. He's too stupid to even put on the boob tube, and has to settle for posting his own videos on youtube.

    "Storm the Bastille, But Make it Dumb"
    by Drew Millard

    "Storm the Bastille, But Make it Dumb"

    excerpt:

    "Oh my god. That’s just about all you can say about yesterday, when, following a pep talk from Donald Trump, thousands of right-wing psychos breached the doors of the Capitol Building as lawmakers were going through the largely ceremonial step of ratifying Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College in an attempt to… what exactly? Intimidate elected officials into handing the Presidency back to Trump? Straight-up take over the government? Wreak havoc as a show of impotent rage? If it was the third thing they were after, they definitely got it.

    This year, we’ve seen our fair share of violence and property damage at protests, but what happened yesterday is not a "both sides" issue. Because this was not a protest. Just ask Senator Chuck Schumer, who said in the Senate chamber last night, "Those who performed these terrible acts cannot be called protestors… They were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol Building and attack our democracy."

    What happened yesterday was a planned but failed insurrection. That isn’t hyperbole or speculation on my part. There was a Daily Beast story on January 2nd which noted that on the pro-Trump subreddit, The Donald, people were distributing maps charting routes from the Stop the Steal rally directly to Congress and posting comments like, "We’ll storm offices and physically remove and even kill all the D.C. traitors and reclaim the country.""

    ‘Trump Just Used Us and Our Fear’: One Woman’s Journey Out of QAnon
    During the political fallout after four years of Donald J. Trump, one question is what will happen with the followers of conspiracy theories that bend Americans’ perceptions of reality.
    By Sabrina Tavernise
    Jan. 29, 2021 Updated 1:58 p.m. ET

    ‘Trump Just Used Us and Our Fear’: One Woman’s Journey Out of QAnon

    excerpt:

    "“Q managed to make us feel special, that we were being given very critical information that basically was going to save all that is good in the world and the United States,” she said. “We felt we were coming from a place of moral superiority. We were part of a special club.”

    Meanwhile, her family was eating takeout all the time since she had stopped cooking and her stress levels had shot up, causing her blood pressure medication to stop working. Her doctor, worried, doubled her dose.

    People who tried to talk her out of the conspiracy theories by sending her factual information only made it worse.

    “Facts are not facts anymore,” Ms. Perron said. “They are highly powerful, nefarious people putting out messaging to keep us as docile as sheep.”

    As the months went on, the claims she was seeing grew more outlandish. There were slickly produced videos of cannibalism and Satanism within the Democratic Party.

    “The people I got to know on social media, they started to look stranger and act stranger and I didn’t want to be like that,” she said.

    Mr. Trump himself was a source of doubt. Q presented him as a brilliant mastermind, and for a while she accepted that. But it became harder to reconcile that persona with what she observed in real life.

    Another twinge of self-consciousness came during a phone conversation with a childhood friend. “I remember calling my best friend and getting all into the number of pedophiles in government and that they’ve taken over the whole government system,” she said. “I felt a part of her saying, ‘This is not the friend I recognize.’ It never came out in words, it was just a sense that I had.”"

    Dollars to doughnuts "Q" has a desk in the same office as "Fancy Bear".

    I guess republicans like losing court cases. This thing will never stand up in court. See, the republicans are short sighted thinkers, because when the dems control the legislature(it will happen) the shoe will be on the other foot.

    The republican party no longer exists, and has been reduced to obstructionist politics and destroying anything they can. A political party that insists the sun revolves around the earth, that government is evil by definition, and the Hatfields and McCoys are what its all about, is merely a lynch mob. Donald Duck destroyed any illusions they had about someone actually being in charge around here, and conservatives are already regretting voting for him. The Tea Party simply has to go, into the nearest toilet, and the only question remaining is how to accomplish the task without the entire country blowing up.
