Dodo Bird Pardons Turkey

 before Thanksgiving.  Which follows a history of burying other swampy crimes.  And though he used this power rarely, he reserved for henchmen and like minded criminals.

Now did he pardon Flynn to save himself?  Now we know Trump is a self serving Dodo Bird, the question is will he try to pardon himself also

Or will he resign and have Pence pardon him?  I sure hope not...  I really would like to see that crook spend his last years behind bars.

I am still so disappointed that the supposed party of law and order seemingly accepts this corruption without saying a word. :-(

Why People Believe Nonsense

 Here is one explanation  and others are in the link.

"Add onto the political environment the fact that we’re living through a pandemic, when people are extremely anxious and uncertain about the future, and you have a perfect storm of conditions to sow disinformation, the experts said.

“If you just feel like things are out of control, that that can be really debilitating. So people want to impose order on the world," said Young. So if someone offers a wild theory, even though it might not be logical, you’re more likely to believe it because it helps explain your situation and give you control.

Accompanying the deepening divisions in the U.S. is anger and distrust of the others side.

Young said that if you can create a target and turn that fear into anger, that will give an extra incentive for someone to believe you. “It seems counterintuitive, but anger makes people feel optimistic because anger has a forward driving momentum."

I agree with Fear being one of the driving factors...  Many people really fear change and uncertainty...  And our country and world are changing rapidly now days.

For FOX Viewers

A Reminder.   After watching FOX on and off for 2 weeks, no wonder these folks are so delusional.  The Five Hosts were obsessed with bashing DEM shutdowns, down playing the death rates, etc.  It was so sad.

My only thought is that they are working to save Social Security and Medicaid single handedly by killing off their viewers.

For Health Care workers, I am so sorry that so many Americans are so STUPID... :-( Stay safe out there and THANK YOU for your efforts to save people from themselves...

Background info.

ND and SD are #1 and #3 for Death Rate.  There must be a LOT of FOX viewers there. :-(

Trump Helping Biden

By sinking the economy.  So Trump has failed to deliver stimulus money and now he is pulling back a lot of money that could have helped the economy.  I am certain he is screwing Biden...

The irony is that he is dooming his legacy and helping Biden's.  Now stick with me here.

The "scorecard" for a President starts at inauguration.  The more damage Trump does between now and January 20th lowers his current TERRIBLE numbers.  And provides Biden with a low baseline, and a wonderful opportunity to score as a WONDERFUL President.  Kind of like what Bush did for Obama.

Some more numbers.

Trump Believers Have Lost Their Minds

Who would trust these yahoos on ANYTHING?

And now they are trying to convince Legislators to over rule the voters in a state.

Joe now has ~6 MILLION more votes than Donny and people still are denying reality.

That simple reality is that Trump is a lying self centered a**hole who never worked to broaden his base of support.  Therefore when he lost millions of voters like me he was SCREWED...

And if you missed Rudy's latest CRAZY where he said Cuba and Venezuela are involved in a mass conspiracy... Maybe FOX can help you... I saw some of it.  It was surreal...

Shoot My Dog?

Of course, I would not...  But sometimes it would be so tempting...  

Now what has my beautiful loving best friend done to frustrate me so greatly?

Well since I am quarantining with her at the farm (day 12), I took her out pheasant hunting.  Now I am not an avid hunter, however a few times a year I go out for a couple hours at a time.  And I was spoiled by my previous dog, a Springer Spaniel named Cassie who loved hunting pheasants.

Now our best guess is that Izzy is part Golden Lab and part Fox Hound.  (ie rescued form Missouri)  Which unfortunately means that she "hunts" almost always and pretty much everything.  So why would this frustrate me so much?  Well imagine:

  • following Izzy just to find a rabbit hole
  • or when Izzy walks off to the short grass because that is where the gophers are
  • or her fascination with deer trails
  • or her new bad habit of following me when the going gets tough... (maybe at 8+ she decided she is the elder) :-) 

Well though she frustrates me greatly.  I am sure she is equally frustrated, we kicked up a hen and 2 roosters in an hour today and I missed both the roosters. :-)

Well I am here fore 2 more days so we will try again tomorrow !!!

If FOX is Not Crazy Enough

 Trump Etal want to provide you with even a more biased and inaccurate conspiracy network.

Imagine, you could listen to crazy people like Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham ALL DAY.  You could literally withdraw from real life and anything factual.  No thinking required, they will just tell you what to believe. :-)   And soon you will want to move into a bunker, because you are certain that everyone is out to get you and your "Leaders". :-( 

SD Doing Well?

 I don't think so... I mean they are leading the region in deaths / million residents...

But unless your goal is to kill off the infirm and old, it does seem that SD is doing very poorly.  

And just look at that rate of increase...

A Map for Deniers of Reality

 Biden won by 5.3 Million votes.

And even if GA, PA and NC went to Trump.  

Biden would still win. The question is when will we start supporting our new President Elect?

No Regs vs Lives Lost

ND & SD were protected by space and no international airport for awhile, but their stupidity has now caught up with them cost ~440 residents their lives. And it is only going to get worse

Give Deep for Trumps Retirement?

 His latest scam.

"But at the provided link to the “OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND,” the legalese at the end says something rather different

Sixty percent of the contribution, up to $5,000, goes to “Save America,” Trump’s newly created leadership PAC. And 40 percent of the contribution up to $35,500, goes to the Republican National Committee’s operating account, its political (not legal) fund.

Only after reaching the first maximum would a single penny go to Trump’s “Recount Account,” and only after reaching the second maximum would a penny go to the RNC’s legal account.

“It’s a straight-up bait and switch,” Paul S. Ryan, the vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, tells me. Such email solicitations target small donors, so for the “overwhelming majority of people contributing … none of their money will end up in recount accounts” or be used for otherwise challenging the election.

Rather, it will be used to extend Trump’s influence over the RNC during the Biden presidency and to build up his leadership PAC, which amounts to a “slush fund” for Trump’s personal use. “There is no limit to how much Donald Trump can pay himself or any member of his family under ‘Save America,’” Ryan notes."

Yes the man who fleeced people who wanted an education is out to fleece his supporters...

And a third source if you question the first 2.  

I am sure Trump will greatly appreciate all your generosity. 

Why Trump Fears Losing?

 Prosecutors, Creditors and the IRS.

Trump was just some annoying glory hound until he was elected President and continually attacked any people or organizations who showed interest in his questionable dealings.  Needless to say that has made him some serious enemies who are happy to dig deeply into his finances, tax records, sexual abuse, etc allegations.  And it is not likely that Trump is going to go quietly into retirement so people and officials will continue to dig.  

Without Presidential protections and an enabling Attorney General, he will need to spend a fortune to try and stay out jail.  I personally would be so happy if he was tossed in jail.

Since I was young: I have been told to be honest, play fair, honor your obligations, don't take advantage of others, don't break the law, pay your bills, etc.  So karma would be if an abuser of these good behaviors, would go to prison rather than continue to succeed. :-)

2020 is NOT 2000

Some idiot GOPers are saying we should give Trump time, because we gave Gore time in 2000. So I decided to grind the numbers to figure out how STUPID they really were being.  (I mean even FOX won't air the lies)

Now I understand why Biden will be our next President. In 2000, 1 state and ~500 votes were the deciding factor.  In 2020, Biden won by at least 3 states and 10's of thousands of votes in each "close" state.

Then to make things worse the Trump administration is delaying an orderly transition that is there to keep our country safe and stable.  If you doubt this, listen or read here.  When are GOP members going to kick this loser to the curb?

He Lost to Worst Candidate

Or so Trump says, what does that make him. :-)

President Donald Trump suggested Friday he might take drastic action if he loses to Democrat Joe Biden. He might even leave the country, he said.

“Running against the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics puts pressure on me,” Trump told supporters at an airport campaign rally in Macon, Georgia. “Could you imagine if I lose? My whole life – what am I going to do? I’m going to say I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics.”

Trump said he might not feel so good after an election loss to Biden. “Maybe I have to leave the country, I don’t know,” he joked.

The comment drew a quick retort from The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group of current and former Republicans working to elect Biden.  The group posted a video of Trump's remarks on Twitter and added a one-word commentary: "Promise?"

Concession Speech Soon?

 I know...  Wishful thinking that he would be that mature...

It is interesting that he is saying the system is "rigged" when it elected him in 2016...

And how the "rigged" election mostly just kicked the obnoxious loud mouthed liar out office, not a lot of other Republicans.

Trump's Surreal Speech

 That was so full of lies that even the GOP rebelled

I have to wonder who is believing him?

I personally liked Joe's speech better...

How people behave under pressure is telling...

In Trump's case it indicates he is a toddler having a tantrum because his toy is being taken away after he did not take good care of it. :-)

Why No Blue Wave?

 This explains it well.  And here is another.

Laurie asked... "Why do you think the democrats have trouble getting people to vote for them - that they almost lost the election to a terrible president / candidate?"

My answer is fairly simple...  Biden and the DEM Party's relatively progressive platform.

As long as the DEMs seemingly want to:

  • let a large number of asylum seekers / border jumpers into the USA, refusing to deport many who are here illegally and going as far as to give them "sanctuary" from the Federal Immigration Officials
  • give trillions of tax dollars to legal and illegal residents who are poor with pretty much no improvement expectations or accountability
  • give trillions of tax dollars to public employees / unions with pretty much no improvement expectations or accountability
  • blaming the justice system and police officers for legal and illegal residents making bad life choices.
  • demand that a fetus is NOT a human and deserves few protections

I am pretty sure the DEMs will have a hard time winning over more moderate states / districts.  Socialism is the wrong word, but Progressive DEMs seem unapologetic about their believing that everyone is "owed" a bunch of things that many of us believe people should work for.

GOP Supporting Chaos?

 I am used to Trump supporting physically confrontations between citizens for his benefit, but I am very disappointed that seemingly Marco Rubio joined in when he praised the Texas road confrontation incident.

Then of course we have other Trump supporters shutting down highways just like some other protesters that they vilify. 

The good news is that the GOP Voter Suppression efforts seem to be failing.  Here is an interesting summary of the current voter suppression techniques being used by Trump etal.  And another.

I guess Trump's theory is that if he can not gain their trust and support, just make sure their voices can not be heard.  Kind of what he has tried to do with everyone that has left his staff.
