I went to bed Tuesday night, praying that the American public would do the right thing. I awoke to a disaster: astounded, amazed, aghast, appalled, dumbfounded, floored, horrified, surprised, stunned, startled, and shocked, in addition to just being f***ing pissed off and depressed.
In the face of overwhelming evidence, how could this have happened? It seems doubtful that the Founding Fathers ever imagined that its citizens would someday elect a felon to the highest office in the nation.
This is someone who is "vowing retribution." Incredible. Democracy cannot survive in a country with a broken Electoral College and an uninformed electorate. At this moment, on December 1, the popular vote stands at 76,917,128 (50%) for Trump and 74,441,588 (48.4%) for Harris. Trump won all of the swing states. Both the House and the Senate will now be in Republican hands, and Project 2025 will ramp up. Stay tuned...
Despite warnings from John Kelly, retired Marine Brigadier General and Trump's former Chief of Staff, who warned that Trump is "a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about." In an interview with the New York Times, he said, “Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.” More than a dozen former Trump administration officials came out in support of John Kelly's warnings about Trump. More...
Seventy-six-plus million citizens have just chosen a 78-year-old, morally bankrupt individual who will be our very own Majorie Taylor Greene/Matt Gaetz to the world. AND he will be the oldest serving president in U.S. history. If he lives to the end of his term in 2029, he will be 82 years, seven months, and six days old--the oldest person to ever hold the office, and one can only imagine what his cognitive state will be then when you consider what it is now.
On July 12, following the June 27 presidential debate, Trump said, “Joe should immediately take a Cognitive Test, and I will go with him and take one also.” Trump also said that all presidential candidates should be required to take a cognitive and aptitude test, but I doubt that he will submit to such a test.

Speaking of Trump's cognitive state, here are a few excerpts from a "speech" he delivered to the National Religious Broadcasters convention on February 22nd, 2024. Remember, this is our guy in the Oval Office, representing us to the world. I shudder...
"They want you to say what they want you, what they want to have you say. And we're not gonna let that happen. You're going to say as you want & you're going to believe & you're going to believe in God. You're gonna believe in God because God is here & God is watching." [Huh?]
"You heard the J6 hostages. You saw the spirit. The spirit these people have ... they have tremendous spirit."
"If you think about it. You have men, you have women, and you have religion."
"This time the greatest threat is not from the outside of our country. I really believe this. It's from within. It's the people from within our country that are more dangerous than the people outside. We can handle China. We can handle Russia. We can handle all of them if you have a smart leader.
But the inside people are very dangerous. They're very sick people, in my opinion, in many cases. They're sick. I'm here today because I know that to achieve victory in this fight, just like in the battles of the past, we still need the hand of our Lord and the grace of Almighty God. We have to have that.
Our country is being destroyed by a great radical left corrupt political class that has gone communist, Marxist, and even fascist. I used to say, we will never have a socialist state." More...
Germany, November 1938, Kristallnacht
Nah, not here; it couldn't happen here... Well, consider what happens when unfounded rumors target immigrants eating neighbor's pets, stolen elections, and scapegoating ethnic and religious minorities. Our species has always had a knack for acting on its basest, most vile instincts, arriving at a tipping point and ending in tragedy.
On January 6, 2020, we were also on the verge of a tipping point, as the Donald stood by while our US Capitol was being overrun by his brown shirts. Well, here he is again, pledging mass deportations, "weaponizing" the Justice Department, attacking the "mainstream" media, and pardoning January 6th rioters. Implicit in all of this is support for state-sanctioned violence.
And one of the most bizarre turn-of-events in this whole mess is the support of white evangelical voters for Trump. He has, in turn, actively promoted a white Christian nationalist vision for America, promising to protect Christians from perceived threats. more...
The American electorate has truly lost its collective mind. This guy does not possess the intelligence, wisdom, or humanity required of the person who will lead this country.
Holy Jesus, save us from ourselves!
